🌹Friends, this is Rose. Please send her healing thoughts and prayers and comment with your well wishes. 💕

What we know:

Rose was adopted in December 2023. Her adopter was evicted and vacated her residence some time over the weekend. We got a call from the landlady on Tuesday 9/3. A carrier with our phone number on it, the same one we loaned to the adopter at time of adoption, was found by move-out cleaners in the house with Rose.

Rose had no food or water and had been left in the house for 24-48 hours. Her body condition is poor, she's underweight with a yellowing coat, and clearly doesn't feel well. She went straight to the vet for a checkup and is being monitored closely by her original foster from when she was a kitten.

‼️We state in BOLD LETTERS in our contract that we want our cats back if adoption doesn't work out.‼️ Not only that, we state cats MUST come back to us rather than being independently rehomed or taken to a shelter. We take our business very seriously. We take time and care to vet potential adopters but sometimes bad people deceive.

Please remember, that YOU are the solution to suffering in the world. Stop asking someone else to fix the problem, to rescue the cat, to fix the ferals, to help the helpless. Its sometimes hard, sometimes inconvenient, and takes time and resources. YOU can be compassionate, YOU can take action to help someone in need, and YOU can make a difference.

😻😻FOSTER SPOTLIGHT! 😻😻

Meet Layne & Lennon! This brother duo is a package deal of nonstop fun. They are world-class biscuit makers, their little paws never stop kneading! They enjoy playing with toys that make sounds and exploring their surroundings. After a long day of romping through the house, the boys love to cuddle up together with their favorite human. They would love to spend their life with someone who will give them all the cuddles, back scratches and soft blankets their little hearts desire. While Lennon has great eyesight, Layne has very poor eyesight. But that does not slow him down! He learns his surroundings quickly and adjusts accordingly. He loves to chase toys that rattle, squeak and beep. These boys are guaranteed to bring light, fun and love to your life.

Foster kitty Pollyanna says Happy Labor Day! She's thriving and recovering from FIP. Labor Day was established in the late 1800s to recognize America's workers. We recognize our human fosters who make such an impact- socializing, medicating, monitoring, chauffeuring homeless kitties.

We couldn't do any of this without you! Thank you ❤️

KITTENS OF THE WEEK: Mowgli and Mushu & Moana

Mowgli & Mushu are a bonded pair!

These sweet boys spend every moment together: sleeping, eating, and playing. If you see one the other is sure to be following close behind. Mowgli is a very well-rounded kitten who enjoys exploring, playing, and cuddling in equal measure! He will take breaks from playing to seek out his humans for attention, purring loudly the entire time.Then, after he has tuckered himself out playing, Mowgli will curl up in your lap for a nice nap. Mushu can be wary of new things, but with a little time and patience he has become a trusting, loyal companion. Mowgli has also encouraged Mushu to try new things and be brave. Mushu always comes when called and purrs the entire time that you pet him. He loves playing with stuffed toys, anything with feathers, and wrestling with his brother Mowgli.

MOANA:
Moana is an absolute lovebug. She loves attention and will run over and leap into your lap for cuddles when she sees you, purring nonstop! When she isn’t cuddling, Moana is also very energetic and loves to play! She particularly likes jingly balls or wand toys where she can get attention from her humans and play at the same time!

These guys were born on April 16th, 2024. The kittens and mom were rescued from an alley when they were about 5 weeks old and put into foster care.

Come meet them at our adoption events this weekend at Pet supermarket 9041 Southside blvd!

✂️💉🏨 Friends and followers! We sent 30, yes THIRTY cats and kittens for speuter in the past week! This is a huge financial impact to pay for so many at once.

Below are just a few of the kitties recovering. All of these kitties were spayed or neutered, combo tested for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated for rabies, distemper and feline leukemia. This is the bare minimum vetting and it costs us approximately $130 per cat.

We want to keep our adoption costs low at $75 per kitty, but can only do that with your help.

Can you sponsor the cost of a kitty? Half a kitty?

As always we are forever grateful to our community for your help! Thanks for helping us keep up the good work.

HOW TO BE A FOSTER IN 5 EASY STEPS:

1) Make space for kitties; a bathroom, office, spare room is all it takes! We typically recommend keeping fosters separate from other pets, but there are exceptions. 🏠🛄

2) Provide socialization by frequent interaction, play, snuggles and love. Socialization is THE MOST inportant part of fostering, secondary to ensuring kitties are healthy. Treat them as if they were your own. ❤️

3) Monitor for any health changes such as diarrhea, runny noses, loss of appetite or change in body condition. If you're new to fostering there's so much to learn and our experienced fosters are here to guide you. Watch kitties grow, take lots of pictures and videos, share funny stories with other fosters in our private foster group. 💩📸

4) We will ensure your kitty has the appropriate vaccinations, deworming and spay/neuter, and you'll be their ride! You'll provide a safe place for them to go through all the proper vetting prior to adoption. 💉✂️🏥

5) Get them to adoption events! We hold events every weekend and this is where our kitties get the most visibility- they have a chance every weekend of finding their forever home. ♾️🏠💕
