Covered in Cat Hair

My sweet Mabel Baby. 15 years old. Had a tumultuous early life, I busted her and her two kittens out of a kill shelter then I was stupid and adopted her into a home I didn’t do a home visit on. it was my first adoption and it was to a hoarder. I didn’t find out for a year and when I did, I vowed to get Mabel back. There were 24 cats-13 survived being in municipal animal control for two years because the owner refused to give up the cats. she really only wanted her dog back and didn’t care about the cats, but it took her all these years of fighting to get to this point. The second it was possible I got Mabel out and I found placements for all the remaining cats with other rescues in North Carolina, which is where Mabel was housed. I learned a terrible lesson, but thankfully Mabel is a happy very loved cat. She’s been with me for a most of her life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sweet Pom Pom hasn’t been feeling well since we took her into We thought she had guardian, a common issue with kittens. Treatment helped until it was stopped. Another f***l sample gave us the answer. Coccidia. It’s nasty. It’s why Pom has been underweight and low-energy. Treatment just started and Pom’s already perking up. The hope is that her twisted back legs will gain strength and that physical therapy will do even more for her. This is an important time for her as we continue to assess whether or not she would benefit from her back left leg being amputated. It’s a decision we take very seriously. Now that she’s on the road to health I hope Pom Pom will flourish.

Sherman got adopted by one of our esteemed vets! (and her hubby). He’s making friends with another foster cat named Earl Gray of anchovy. They look like brothers and hopefully they’ll act like them soon. Mom and dad are delighted with their new family members. It’s strangely quiet in the house without Sherman here. He is a sweet boy, but my adult cats were not his biggest fan so it’s good that Sherman is safe and loved and where he’s meant to be.

I told Sherman he’s getting adopted today. Not sure how he feels about that.

Oh my!

Not sure I like the way things are trending. Today was Catshew’s turn to go to the vet. I thought she needed a dental cleaning but she ended up having two extractions. She was not thrilled about this, but I’m not going to have cats suffer with a painful mouth. Two more cats to go and I’ve done a dental on almost all of our cats. Mia has lung cancer. I can’t do hers but thankfully her teeth aren’t too bad.

I’m pretty sure Mabel would rather not be at the vet (to check the small growth I found behind her left ear).

Pom Pom began physical therapy. We don’t know if we started too late (we only just got her into Kitten Associates from a kill shelter in the south) to save her back left leg, but our genius foster, is doing physical therapy every day, many times a day. Between seeing specialists, x-rays, and vet care we need to do a fundraiser. See link in our profile if you’d like to help pom-pom have the best chance to walk one day.

Coming soon. We’ve got some new fosters arriving! This is Dot Dot Dot. She and her family were in a kill shelter and their time was running out. One of the kittens has “swimmers syndrome” and needs care asap to give her a chance to walk. Our team is really excited to start this rescue adventure. Stay tuned for more on these special kittens!

Sherman’s having a blast now that he’s acclimated to his new digs. He’s fearless and funny. My cats are not sure about him yet because Sherman chases them around the house. Oops. I tuck Sherman in his penned off area each night so everyone will be safe. The only problem is he’s been busting himself out! He’s a goofhead.

yesterday a very nice lady met Sherman. I had the honor of witnessing them falling in love. I may have fostered many hundreds of kittens in my years doing rescue, but I’ve never seen a cat relax and fall asleep in someone’s arms like this before. He totally relaxed and completely trusted this new person. time will tell whether or not this is his new mom (and dad had the same effect on him), but my fingers and toes are crossed!

I just love this.

I met these cuties at the vet today. I asked their mom if she wanted this photo but she said they’re always posing and that she had lots of photos of them already. They were so well-behaved they didn’t move from their seat until their mom came close to them when it was time to leave.

Life is good. Suddenly Sherman sleeps soundly. (with a full belly and after playtime). He’s a cutie and brings me joy. I guess I gotta find him a friend. 🤷🏻‍♀️
