Happy Caturday!

We apologize for having been a little out of pocket the last couple of months. The reason?

We're moving!

And not around the corner either but across the country. This is an exciting time, which means some extra big changes. It also means we have some kittens who urgently need homes. We still have amazing fosters and lots of amazing kitties in IN and IL, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Richmond, and Chicago.

We also have several rescue partners, including a few who have helped us and we would like to return the favor.

Watch this week for a spotlight on the kitties who are still desperately searching for homes. In the meantime we do have vet bills left to pay from a very expensive couple of weeks, including an emergency vet visit, etc.

Help us move to the next chapter and help more kitties, back in the Midwest and on the West Coast as well.

As always, thank you so much for helping me help the kitties.

STILL NEEDS A HOME!! (9/20)

This brother sister pair is double trouble. We love them and we'd love to see them in their own home!

From their foster:

"These babies need adopted. It'd be cool if they were together but not necessary. One of them is perfect and the other one is a little complicated.

Isis/Iyla is the queen of the dangle test. Super sweet, super cuddly, purrs every time you pick her up or touch her in any way, And is good with other cats as well as children. Even though she is full velociraptor stage, she is still just a sweet little angel with a perfect pink nose.

Iris(Ira) is their very affectionate but a little bit medically complicated sibling. They are full of love and are a bit obsessive with their love in the form of making biscuits on your cheeks, wanting to suck on your face/ears, and wrapping their arms around your neck and clinging on for dear life because they love snuggles so much that consent is sometimes an optional thing for them 😅 but they have medical stuff going on and we're not sure what that's gonna mean for them."

Both sibling are aprox 8 months old, fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Transportation is available! We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss Ira's medical situation as it is difficult to describe.

They do not necessarily need to be adopted together. Medical adoptions are very difficult, and this should not make the chance at a great home impossible, just because someone doesn't want to split them apart. Yes they are very cute together but they have been apart for days before and have done just fine. Of course if you would like to have to you couldn't pick a better pair!

Pleaese PM for an application and an opportunity to fill your life with these wonderful kitties.

Hey friends, one of our long-term Foster kitties was hospitalized last night. This is a very difficult time for a lot of reasons, but it is always difficult when one of our kitties isn't doing well.

If anyone can help us pay Cole/Vader's vet bill that would be immensely appreciated.

All the kitties thank you!

Nothing says summertime like a good snooze. If you're looking for a new napping buddy, this little guy might be the perfect choice. He'll be available very soon!

24/08/2024

Adoption Pending

Picked up this little dude straight out of the street. Good thing for him he's pretty healthy and should be getting his first shot this week and should be fixed very soon. That means he'll be ready for a home.

Marshmallow Is one of almost two dozen kitties waiting for adoption right now! We have a goal of 12 kittens home by October 1st. Can we do it?

Fingers crossed!!!

HAPPY NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY!

Gus and Luna Are looking for their forever homes. They were both bottle babies and extra sweet and will do great in homes with kids, cats, and even cat-savvy dogs. Both love to play, and would prefer an active and engaging household.

Luna is a courtesy post for another rescuer. She is 11 weeks, spayed, with her rabies and first distemper shot.

Gus is being neutered tomorrow. He is up to date on his FVRCP vaccines, and will receive his rabies shot, and a microchip.

Please reach out if you're looking to add a little bit of mini Panther to your household. Transportation is available for both within reason!

URGENT

ADOPTERS NEEDED!

As with many places right now, intake is closed and we are overwhelmed with kittens in need of homes... in the next week many of these babies will be getting fixed and will be ready to go. Some of them are already good to go!

We have some big and exciting changes coming in the next month, and while everything is up in the air it is absolutely imperative that these babies find homes. Transport is available pretty much anywhere within reason for approved adopters. Yes, we have helped transport kittens to Canada and via airplane!

These are just a few of the kittens available currently in Foster. We would love to see them find incredible homes. Application and adoption fees apply!

There are a handful of kittens that didn't get their photos taken, but we will hope to post them very soon as well. Unfortunately we haven't had time to update our Petfinder as we are hoping to move to shelter love as our adoption platform.

Please reach out if you are looking to adopt.

Thank you and please share!

PENDING

Petit Lydia is full of spice. Yet she still wants to cuddle and be your friend, especially if you have food. Don't be put off by her growling - she doesn't enjoy being picked up or told what to do, and you probably don't either so maybe you can sympathize ;)

She loves her toys and enjoys wet kitten food and will happily join you on the couch. She's curious and fun and definitely wants her own home.

Lydia is a petite girl and we expect that she will stay small. She is fixed and has her shots and is ready to go! Please let me know if you'd be interested in adopting and I'll introduce you.

30/07/2024

Some days are stressful and other days help you remember why you rescue.

After handling Kitty chores and my own chores, I received a very nice message from a adopter who told me how very much in love they are with their Kitty that I placed with them last year.

Shortly after, I received a message from a rescue friend about a kitty whose owner had passed away. I don't always have space or time to make these kinds of rescues happen, but I was going to try my best.

Not only was I able to pick up this sweet boy from a really awful situation, thanks to Bonnie & an incredibly caring Deputy Coroner, but he was also able to visit our vet friend Margaret, who just happened to arrange his foster as well! The foster, who happens to work at the clinic, fell in love, so we hope it's a match!

If you'd like to pitch in a little bit for his vet bills and to cover my gas for the day, that would be wonderful. He will need a dental and his shots. His owner took incredibly good care of him otherwise

25/07/2024

Screamy McDreamy (NOT his legal name) is finally out of the woods with his feeding schedule and overall health. He is about half the size of his siblings so it may be a couple weeks before he is able to get fixed, but he's already telling me he's ready for a great home!

Another unique characteristic of this Little Tike is he has a pretty serious kink in his tail. Legend has it that this kind of harmless deformity is proof of reincarnation, and the fact that he once served royalty as a ring bearer.

I'm pretty sure he won't hold still to keep track of your jewelry, but he's really good at rubbing on your feet and getting lots of pets. Make sure to feed regularly though because otherwise you risk getting a nip to remind you of all his favorite snacks.

Want to keep this little one in cat food? Then please donate below!

$245/$400

$5 Friday URGENT Request!

Friendos, Cat Fam:

This is Iris.

Iris came to us in June, and is now enjoying time with a foster fam in Ft. Wayne.

Iris has had fluid on the belly for weeks now, but NO OTHER PROBLEMS. She's happy and playful, but we need to get to the bottom of her issues so she can be ready for adoption.

When she first came in, blood tests were done, but were inconclusive. We tried a few rounds of FIP meds with NO change. We try to draw fluid last weekend but turned out Iris needs an ultrasound to make this task possible.

That's where we need your help.

She already has a bill of over $125 from the bloodtest. Today's bill will be nearly $300.

We're asking for help paying her $425 in medical bills as we could REALLY use the help this kitten season. Adoptions are slow and we spend a bundle on just food and litter. We just need to be sure Iris is taken care of fully before we can even spay her.

There's a tracker at the top of this post so you can keep track of how close we are to our goal.

As always, thank you so much for helping me help the kittens, especially those like Iris!

We made our debut in public at a PetSmart tonight! Lance might be blind but he is very brave. He'll be ready for adoption soon. Must be adopted with another kitten or into a home with other cats! That is the only consideration needed for his condition. He gets upset if he can't find a buddy.

Happy Caturday!!

Happy Caturday!

Did I mention we have kittens of all kinds??

18/06/2024

Let me put this simply. My rescue fee does not cover my expenses for the cats in my rescue. It may not even cover the basic vetting that I get at a rescue discount. Add in dewormer, flea treatments, and the fact that all kittens need their vaccines when they come to me... plus the cost of kitten food, litter, and of course medicine and additional treatment if the cat needs it.

And I transport. Oftentimes my adopters will donate extra to help me cover my expenses but I don't always ask for that unless I'm transporting long distance. So if you want to know where your money is when you donate to a rescue, this is where it goes.

There is no money to be made in rescue. If we are good at what we do, and lucky, we eventually break even. But even that requires donations and assistance, which is deeply deeply appreciated.

Right now, funds are what is needed most! As always, thank you so much for helping me help the kittens.

When you run a rescue, nothing happens quickly...except emergencies.

But some of the best things do take time. For example, the little orange kitten in this photo is Rocket. He is on a regimen that will keep him from getting sicker while he gains weight. When he's over 2 pounds, we can consider if he still needs an enucleation. Trying to perform such a surgery before he reaches that weight is incredibly risky. We only do it when there is active risk of sepsis.

Yes, I know it looks scary, but he is otherwise a happy, healthy normal kitten who enjoys playing, loves hanging off the scratching post, eats his wet food like a champ, and usually uses his litter box. We are super fortunate to have a couple of vets who understand the needs of these special kittens. Fortunately, Rocket's other eye is just fine so he will have vision.

The other Kitty in this photo is Hannah. She came into our rescue in September and into my home in October. She was painfully shy and I was afraid she would never come around. Right after this photo was taken though, she rolled over for a belly rub. This is her now. She also really loves kittens. She's not quite a year old and she's absolutely stunning and has become a friendly, sweet girl.

Hannah is available for adoption and Rocket will be in the next month or so. They would be great together, or with other kittens. Hannah will need some time to adjust, but she will absolutely reward you with gentle affection and almost no spice. She truly is the most mild-mannered Calico I've ever met! She especially loves other female cats.

Please reach out if you are interested and I'm happy to walk you through the adoption process!

As always, your support is critical to helping these kitties. We are in Desperate desperate need of kitten food right now, and donations will help us spay and neuter the next dozen or so kittens that are waiting to be big enough for their surgeries. THANK YOU to all of our cat Pals, especially Amber and Sheila, who helped us out immensely with kitten food in the last few weeks. It does take a community to help these little ones!

We go through about 16 cans of kitten food a DAY and our Fosters need some as well. We need your help to help them!

Happy Caturday!! Lance loves Korrine <3 this rescue is currently caring for three blind kittens! Lance is completely sightless but that doesn't prevent him from having a great life. While he isn't as brave as Ivan yet, he will learn to take stairs and handle just about everything a normal cat does. If you're considering fostering or adopting a blind kitten, I'm happy to answer all of your questions. I love these "Special Needs" cats as they are simply special and don't have a lot of needs!

Everyone knows how much I love black cats but I just can't with this little one. Edwin has the biggest personality, and I can't tell if he has his very own brain cell or what. #orangecat #kittenrescue #adoptdontshop #specialneedskitten

Mags has two wishes: to find his forever home, and to suddenly have opposable thumbs. Based on this video I'm not sure that he even needs them! Ft. Adoptables Sydney, Magpie, and Echo

We've got a bonker! This little baby doesn't have a name yet, but he's about 3 weeks old. A kind Good Samaritan and her friend found him in an alley all alone under a brick. We're not sure but mother may have stashed him there, but he had visible bite wounds and a broken arm. Sometimes a mama cat can accidentally injure her own kittens when moving them if she's in a panic! We cleaned up the wounds and made sure he wasn't infected and got him on some antibiotics just to be safe. Now he has a splint for his little broken arm. And he's eating kitten mush!! We have had some very generous donors in the last couple of weeks who have made it possible for us to take care of several bottle babies and young kittens. Thank you! If you would like to help donate to this little one's care, you can Venmo @monkeycatsrescue. Thanks!

Two beautiful adoptable kitties, both under a year old. Both boys. Still available for adoption! #kittenrescue #adoptdontshop
