Liz's Kitty Boot Camp

19/04/2025

I fostered a sweet kitten named Minnie for and I can't believe how beautiful she is an adult. She's doing amazing in her home and gets along with the people, dogs, and cat. She's very spoiled and she deserves it!

She's scrappy but so sweet. Miss Luna just wants constant pets.

There's so much to love about the big former tomcats who've seen some ish, like Manny. The chubby cheeks are my fav tho.

Please welcome Ragu to Boot Camp. Ragu was surrendered to another rescue for behavioral reasons after a foster saw him trying to be given away on Nextdoor. The incredible foster who got him, quickly realized he was mildly aggressive and needed help. She reached out to me personally asking if I would be willing to help her. She does amazing work but felt he was outside of the scope of what she normally handles. After successfully integrating my other foster Manny into gen pop this week, my bathroom was available for Ragu. Obviously, Ragu will be adopted in a split second BUT I need to work with him to make sure he takes his aggression out on toys and not people, or he will be returned. People often ignore behavioral problems when there is a breed involved and Ragu deserves better than that. Once he's adoption-ready, I'll work with to make sure we find a cat savvy adopter who wants him for him and not just because he's pretty. Wish me luck on training him!

The amazing kitty heros at Whiskers of Love Cat Rescue & Sanctuary saved poor Tonka who has a horrible case of mange. This boy is uncomfortable but such a love. He has a long treatment ahead of him but is in the best hands❤️

Welcome, Tonka ! AKA Scabbers the Crust Gremlin. A True Fighter!

When a Code Red went out for Tonka at ACCT Philly we knew we had to act fast. This brave little soul has been through more than we can imagine. His mange is so severe that his eyes can barely open, his ears are painfully crusted over, and his teeth are in heartbreaking condition, with all his canines chipped and roots exposed. He will certainly need dental work. On top of it all, he’s FIV positive.

But Tonka is a fighter.

Today, he took his first step toward healing. One of our incredible fosters phillykittenfoster picked him up, and he wasted no time gobbling up his wet food before settling into a soft, cozy bed. Probably the first real comfort he’s likely had in a long time. It will take months of dedicated care to get him healthy and ready for adoption, but we believe with all our hearts that he deserves this second chance.

Please join us in welcoming Tonka to the Whiskers of Love family. His journey won’t be easy, but with love, patience, and your support, we know he’ll thrive. We can’t wait to watch this brave boy transform.

If you’d like to contribute to Tonka’s recovery, please consider donating or sharing his story. Every bit of kindness makes a difference! ❤️

Hello from Manny! Manny is enjoying a little supervised time out of the bathroom and he loves checking all the food dishes for crumbs😂 He's enjoying chilling on the couch too. Since he's FIV+, I won't leave him alone with my cats until I know everyone can get along nicely. He came from a colony of 20 cats so I know he's at least capable of living with others. FIV is spread by deep bite wounds, and in all my years of fostering I've never had one cat deeply bite another (even when they hated each other), but I'm still taking precautions. So far, the cats are tolerating his presence and are even sleeping around him. Now that his conjunctivitis is clear, he's just about ready to be listed. I meanted before that when he was neutered, they did a bit of a hack job on his ear. I'm going to talk to a local vet (not who neutered him) and see if it can be cleaned up before he starts meeting potential adopters. If he needs a procedure for it, I don't expect it to be very involved🤞🏻

Then ... And now! 5 years ago Fredo was saved my with and I was lucky enough to foster him. Although he was super shy at first, he eventually blossomed. He was one of the sweetest souls ever ... He loved every cat. He now lives with two other cats and his mom adopts Amy and I usually a few times a year. Fredo has chronic rhinitis which stopped responding to doxycycline last year. His mom now takes him for acupuncture at and he sees an herbalist. He has more frequent flares but things seem uncontrol. Oh he's also a cancer survivor. This boy is just the best and I'm honored to be part of his story.

EXCITING NEWS: Rusty has been adopted! After nearly 3 yrs and at nearly 15 yrs old, this gentle giant has found his forever home. I always say it takes special people to adopt a senior cat, and a very special couple has opened their hearts and home to him. Many people asked why I never adopted him ... I honestly wanted him to have a home where he would get a lot of attention. He tolerated my cats but didn't particularly like them and he's scared of my dog. I remained hopeful that maybe some day he could be the king of his own castle. That's finally happened and I'm so happy for him to have the quiet, clam home he deserves.

A special thank you to and who made this all possible. Your support to help me help him over the years means the world and I can never thank you enough. I know he wasn't always the easiest parient, but you still loved him as much as I did❤️❤️❤️

Happy tails my Rustificus.

Post-op high🤣 Beaker had full mouth extractions and I'm so happy that he will be more comfortable from here on out. His body was simply not a fan of his teeth 🤷🏻‍♀️ He was in so much pain from stomatitis. So far, he's doing great with recovery ❤️ Thank you to for squeezing him into your tight schedule.

I've been noticing Beaker acting strange off and on for a few months, but really odd the past 3 weeks. He was very sensitive with petting and would be fine and then hiss out of nowhere. He would also be eating and then randomly hiss (at no one) and run off. Other times, he wasn't eating or being touched, but he'd hiss and run and hide in a cubby. Something told me to look in his mouth the other day and his gums were all inflamed. If you look at the pictures, his gum should be the light pink color on the roof of his mouth - instead of the deep pink and red that's around his teeth. confirmed that he has stomatitis, a very painful condition where a cat's immune system attacks the healthy bacteria in the mouth. He's getting steroid and pain med injections to kickstart his pain management, and I'll continue giving him steroids at home until he can have full mouth extractions (the treatment for stomatitis). I feel so badly for him but am relieved to have a plan to attack the pain.
