🔥 ATTENTION MINIONS OF DARKNESS (AND CAT LOVERS) 🔥

The gates of hell have opened, and by hell, we mean our brand new website!

That's right, Old Scratch Rescue has clawed its way into an updated website. Feast your eyes on our virtual den of iniquity at: www.oldscratchrescue.com

What unholy delights await you?

🤘Gritty tales of rescue and redemption
🤘Our long-term residents in all their battle-scarred glory
🤘A chance to sell your soul (aka donate) to our cause
🤘Merch that'll make your grandma clutch her pearls

Speaking of merch, we're slashing $5 off all t-shirts to celebrate our new site. Because nothing says "website launch" like a discount on clothes featuring demonic felines.

But act fast, you procrastinating punks. This deal lasts about as long as a cat's attention span.

So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation?

Click that link. Buy that shirt. Save those cats.

Remember: Every purchase funds our diabolical plan to spay and neuter every damn cat we can get our claws on.

P.S. If the website summons any demons, just give 'em a scratch behind the ears. They like that.

We’ve been social media dark for about six months but we’re clawing our way back into regular updates.

What did you miss?
We’ve been doing TNR mostly. We are still closed to intake and have done some restructuring on how we operate. We will mainly be TNR moving forward.

However, we did take in Reeves from a local shelter. Reeves had been shot in the back and back leg. The shelter paid for his initial exam and we took over once he could not stay at the shelter. We will do updates on his story so you can watch.

Our other big project is more recently. We took on a hellhound! Shögun was a (maybe) one year old Rottie sitting in a local shelter. It was discovered that he has severe hip dysplasia and requires a surgery that was not in the budget for that shelter. Their only choice was euthanasia. So, we pulled him from the shelter and got Old Scratch’s first Hellhound.

Shögun came at a time where our finances are pretty low. Still, he is scheduled to have a femoral hip ostectomy tomorrow at a specialist in Chattanooga. We will be fundraising for his surgery and for future TNR soon.

We’re hoping to get back to consistent updates as well. Just know, we haven’t stopped!

Do you need a good Yule cat? Look no further. This is Wonton. This beautiful girl is between 2-3 years old. She had a litter of kittens as a baby herself and they were all adopted and Wonton was left behind. She’s currently spending her days with an amazing foster, but she’d like a family if her own.

Wonton loves people and cuddles. She enjoys getting scratched and she likes to play with toys. She does not like loud homes or mean kitties. She gets along well with calm cats but is afraid of confrontation (and will hiss and then hide).

Do you have the right home for Wonton? Apply here:

Kirk -now Bobo- has been adopted! He’s off to meet his new house mates and live his best life with his new mom. 🖤

29/10/2023

It has come to my attention that ShelterLuv places adoption applications in their own separate area to be accepted or denied and NOT under "People" as I previously thought. This has resulted in us not seeing applications. I am writing everyone that has applications out currently, even though some are over a month old.

Also perfectly timed, when I switched to a new phone I neglected to log back into Google Voice, making our phone number basically useless. If you have called the rescue about adoption in the last month and a half or so, I apologize for not getting back with you! I believe I have everything up and running now!

Happy kitty update! This one was super hard to let go. She was a wonderful mother and mouser and all around a very pleasant cat. Here’s what her new mom just sent us:

“Good afternoon,
I just wanted to give you an update on Georgia(aka Gladys). Georgia has joined our family so seamlessly. She is the sweetest girl ever and loves my daughters so much. We can’t think Old Scratch enough for allowing us to adopt her. We’ve only had her since July, but it seems like she’s been with us for forever.”

05/10/2023

We’re off to surgery day! Melvin, Odin, and Monsieur Wobbles will be getting neutered today and Olive, Sasha, and Ming will be getting spayed.

25/09/2023

09/09/2023

A massive thank you to Happy Tails for hosting us today and for all of the hard work put into the yard sale! Thank you to Whiskey Waffle for bringing yummy food out to the event.

Three of the six cats that we brought have new homes! It’s also great for the cats to get a bit of fresh air and socialize. It’s been a great day!

09/09/2023

Dolly, Kirk, and Tyler are still here! They’re bored and ready for you to come pick them up and take them home. We also still have some keychains, shirts, and catnip!

Tyler is feeling well enough to climb over the baby gate, into chairs, on top of printers, etc. He is still pretty wobbly and has the head tilt, but his eyes have stopped spinning! He is so loving and demands attention. He’s been good with the dogs in the lobby at the shelter. He is still recovering. If you are interested in fostering or fostering to adopt, please let us know!

Tyler is here for your medical lesson today. Tyler has vestibular disease. It can be caused by middle/inner ear issues, trauma, or a result of toxins. Good news is we treat all that causes it the same way! I am not moving anything in the video. Tyler’s eyes are constantly doing this, he walks with a head tilt, and he walks sideways and falls over. He is expected to recover with medication.

Pearl can’t jump. How does she get over the baby gate and onto counter tops in the kitchen? Pure core and leg strength.

Different group of kittens, same feelings on fresh litter.

Every single time the litter boxes are changed. 😑

The laziest playtime ever.

Gus has been hyping himself up all morning to get the courage to go over and sniff of Artie to find out what he is. As soon as Artie turned around, Gus lost all nerve.😸

He’s still fighting! Breathing still sounds bad, but it’s better! You’re not ready for how cute this guy is!

Respiratory Infection

Warning: Not a cute video. This is Goop. He is not snoring, he is struggling to breathe. He was brought in as a stray with a respiratory infection, messy eyes, and a ton of fleas. The simple act of breathing is a struggle for this baby and we do not know if he will even make it. He is currently being medicated and he is attempting to rest. Unfortunately, this isnt an uncommon illness for stray, feral, and unwanted cats and kittens. Please spay and neuter your pets and if you want to go above and beyond, consider contributing to a Trap-Neuter-Release program.

We are out at the Tullahoma Animal Shelter with several of our cats today, please come out and say hi!

She’s a little hellion 👹🤘🏻
