Frilla and her babies are doing well! The babies are on their own now with mom resting and receiving treatments preparing for her spay! They are not ready for adoption yet but they are gaining weight and doing well! š»ā¤ļø We/they are grateful for the support that was received!
By the time we received the official panleukopenia diagnosis, we had already done 6 days of around the clock care and the babies had survived! Feeling defeated and exhausted, we found strength amongst our team members and the awesome team at Ancare Veterinary Hospital! They continue to improve each day and we are so grateful that they could survive! They will not be ready for adoption for quite some time, and today we can celebrate their lives and improving health! š»
Emma
At 17 pounds at intake, itās difficult to believe that stress caused Emma to stop eating. Yet with complete medical testing done, there was no other reason. It took 15 days for Emma to eat on her own after the loss of the only home she knew! She continues to receive food via her feeding tube yet we are so happy to see this and hope it will continue. Sheās so sweet! š»
Our family!
Frilla and her babies continued to improve throughout the day and night. This morning Frilla has her appetite back and we see and hear kittens playing! No sub q fluids were necessary yesterday nor were injectable anti nausea medicines! Could it be that these sweet babies have made it through the worst of panleukopenia??? it seems that way! The family remains in our care in rescue with the oversight of the awesome team at Ancare Veterinary Hospital. Two of the babies have been to Ancare. We are grateful for all of it!

Alfalfa
Alfalfa continues to search for his forever home! He's about 3 years old and gave up the street life for better things. A wise one he showed no resistance to changing his lifestyle. Heās just the sweetest boy and all about being in your lap, snuggling and love! Heās FIV positive and that is no concern; heās lived his life with other cats and shows no signs of aggression. They hiss at him, and he just keeps making his biscuits. Adopt him today! www.safehousepets.org
Mistee!
Mistee joins our adoptables this morning; a sweet, beautiful girl about 10 months old. She was found living outside amongst a large colony. She has mild cerebellar hyperplasia which causes some wobbling and head bobs. She was most likely born with this condition and it causes her no issues. She doesnāt appear to be able to hear and thatās ok too; now that she is safe inside! She loves to be petted, snuggles and play and will be a great addition to any home who will give her time to adjust and keep her safe forever! Adopt her today! www.safehousepets.org
Chance!
CHANCE: Heās back in rescue today with a good prognosis! We are so happy he is ok and grateful to the amazing Ancare team and our supporters! š»
Peaches!!!
From a girl who could barely stand and who has fought for years to survive, this morning Peaches is playing! We are so happy to see this girl acting like a cat! ā¤ļøš»
Peaches update!
Miss Peaches decided it was time to eat on her own! This foster mom was horrified when she went down to tube feed her at 3:30 a.m. and she found that Peaches had removed her feeding tube! Honestly, half asleep and not an expert on feeding tubes, I did what I knew to do. She was stable, I duct taped the portions of the feeding tube to the tube collar so she could not get at it, I cried and I stared at her for over an hour. Then I slept a little and was back up and she was doing well. Ancare Veterinary Hospital responded to our message first thing and had her come right in! If she would eat on her own, the tube did not need to be put back in. She is! She also went from 5.01 lbs. to 5.10 lbs. since Friday! A rescue eating on their own is a huge relief! This girl is such a fighter! š»š» Thank you for loving her too!
Sandy
Peaches update!
Listen to Peaches purr. Sheās 9 days post surgery now and doing well! I swear this sweet girl is so grateful and knows what is happening for her! She continues to eat and drink only through her feeding tube . She is off pain meds and much more alert and responsive. She has her follow up appointment next Tuesday and hopefully will be able to begin to eat on her own! What a fighter this baby is! š»
Rocky
Rockyās been in rescue a little over 2 weeks now. Heās doing well and is so sweet! His wounds are healing and his ear the only visible reminder of his FELV diagnosis. We are so happy he is not living on the streets anymore and fully vetted, yet we want more for him! He has to be segregated and with only so much time in each day and many to care for, he doesnāt get that full time love he needs. Rocky is about a year old and he needs a home without other cats or with segregation and a special person to accept him as he is and help him have a great life hopefully for many years. š»
Rocky
Itās been a week since Rocky received his FELV diagnosis and came into rescue. Heās been scared, hiding in the castle, yet I saw him stretched out on the cat tree a few times before he saw me! Heās been eating, drinking his water and using his litter box so no reason for concern. Today he decided I could get a closer look at him and he welcomed pets. He is purring! š». So happy he is finding peace!
Pepper
Pepper is a 4 month old semi sweet boy! He gets scared on initial approach/pickup and is quick to give a hiss until heās in your arms where he purrs and make biscuits. He will need some patience and one on one time in a segregated area of his new home while he continues to learn to be brave! It wonāt take long and you can win his love much quicker than we can! Adopt him today! www.safehousepets.org
Mama Mia & Joe! š»
Mama Mia and Joe are strutting their stuff at Pet Smart in Peru, IL hoping to be spotted by their perfect person(s). They are both so sweet! Our rotation ends this Sunday! Adopt today!
Rodger
Meet Rodger! Heās not ready for adoption yet so we arenāt able to discuss that but are excited to see this 3 year old boy starting to show some happiness . Heās not been an easy sell on the inside life being better for him than outside life. Heās neutered now, vaccinated, gaining weight, accepting limited pets totally on his terms, loves treats and now playing! He can take his time! š»
Remember Seven? The boy who has been in rescue for over a year now and sits up all the time? The one who always like to stay just an arm's length away from his foster mom unless he says ok? Well, heās still doing all that, but he is also becoming sweeter! Heās even allowing himself to be scooped up and enjoying time on his foster momās lap. Purring! Making biscuits! š. Could it be that he is finally agreeing that us humans are more than the food and treat giver and the keeper of the wand toy? It seems to be! Adopt him today!
