🧡Our typical policy is to adopt our kittens/cats in pairs or into homes that already have a feline friend. We don’t do this as an upsell, we do it for the health and happiness of the kitties! However, from time to time, we have a kitty who is NOT interested in sharing their home with other cats and we respect that!

🌸Azalea is one of those girls. She is a people pleaser and loves to have the attention of everyone she meets. Strangers are simply people who haven’t met Azalea yet. She makes friends with everyone! She loves all sorts of food but wet food is her favourite treat. Azy especially loves spinny balls to play with and when she’s tired out will come and sit beside you.

💞She is a talkative little girl and will hold entire conversations with you so you’ll never have to try and think of things to say. Her forever home will be one without any young children and lots of love from her devoted human servant/bestie. She will need to be the only cat in her kingdom (home).

😻If you have room in your life for a sweet and chatty single girl then Azalea is the one for you!

👽ET and Elliot are officially up for pre-adoption! These babies had a rough start in life, but they are doing amazing now and are on the search for their family!

👯‍♂️These two are becoming what we call a bonded pair. They want to spend all their time together, cuddling, playing, and sleeping. They get stressed and lonely if they are separated from each other.

💖You can read more about them on our website and Pet Finder or fill out an application for them online if you are interested!

💕Sweet bonded duo, Molly & her mom, Lola are still looking for their forever home!

💖Here is what their foster home shared about them: “Baby Molly is wide open, playful and sweet! Mama Lola is more shy, timid, and cautious. But she is the sweetest girl. They love to play together and Molly’s favorite toy is my hair scrunchies. I find them all over the place. I’ll hide them for her and she spends the day hunting all the hiding places! I wake up in the morning and they’re all over the bathroom floor. Or I come into the bedroom in the evening and she has found the hiding places and they’re scattered around the room. It’s really funny and sweet. I can’t wait for them to find their forever family!”

📝If you think you could be the home for them, fill out an application on our website.

🤩 Six of our kitties made their way home this weekend! Did you know that you can also adopt from us if you live within 6 hours of Bethel, CT? This is all possible thanks to our amazing northern partner, .furever.after.rescue and our fantastic transporter .

⛈️Meet one of our newest rescues, Stormy-D. She was found by one of our fosters, stuck at the bottom of a 6 foot storm drain in inches of mud. Luckily, our team is no stranger to storm drain rescues, so we were able to jump in and get this sweet girl out.

🚑She was muddy, has blistered paw pads, and some melted whiskers, but she is in good shape overall. Stormy-D is a little nervous, but is so, so sweet and is making biscuits nearly around the clock.

🎆While many people are planning to enjoy the 4th of July tomorrow, this day brings lots of loud noise that causes anxiety and fear in animals and humans alike!

🚨Did you know there is an increase of 60% in the number of lost pets during July 4th - 6th?!Unfortunately, only 15% of these pets are reunited with their families.

🐈Here are some tips to help keep your pet(s) safe at home and prepare in advance:

💛Make sure to microchip your pet. If your pet is already microchipped, take this time to ensure your contact information is up to date with their microchip company. This is usually done online, not through your vet office.
💛Keep your pets indoors and consider securing them in a crate or room during fireworks.
💛If you know your pet typically gets anxious during storms, loud noises or fireworks, consider providing them with anti-anxiety medications at the guidance of your vet or use other tools like thundershirts or calming pheromones.

🎇We hope everyone stays safe tomorrow and over the weekend!

Happy adoption day to two of our kitties!

💛Wicker Basket

We’re especially excited for Miss Sarah. She was the FIV+ mama we took in from in Ohio. All of her babies had been adopted and we finally found her perfect home! (You couldn’t see her in the picture in her carrier, so we had to get creative. 😉)

Happy forevers!

😅This is the face of a kitten that has been at the ER vet and our regular vet every day since Monday.

👽We are happy to report that little ET seems to be feeling much better today than he has all week! Our amazing vets are working hard to get to the bottom of what’s going on with him.

❤️‍🩹He’s had x-rays, multiple blood panels, IV fluids, tests, meds, and oxygen. All those costs add up quickly and he has informed us that he doesn’t have a job and can only pay us back in cuteness. 😂

🫶If you are able, please consider donating to support ET’s care. You can donate through social media or on our website, missdixieskittenrescue.com.

🎉Please help us wish our Founder & Director, Mary, the HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!

⭐️Mary is our fearless leader, chaos queen, biggest advocate, and a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. She rang in her birthday at the ER vet with a foster until nearly 5am this morning. There’s quite literally nothing that she wouldn’t do to help a kitten (or friend) in need.

🤩On behalf of our team here at Miss Dixie’s Kitten Rescue & all the kittens and cats that you’ve saved, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you!

❓How do we conduct adoptions as a foster-based rescue without a typical shelter location?

⭐️ After receiving an application, we conduct virtual interviews where we talk to our potential adopters about their family, current pets, lifestyle, and the kittens we currently have available for adoption.

🐱 We love to help match our kittens with their perfect families. In some cases, we feel like there might be a few options for a good fit, so we might suggest a meet and greet to help finalize the decision.

🫶 This weekend we had a wonderful family that applied for one pair of kittens that could have been a great match! But we also felt that they should meet Groucho the Churu Monster & Telly the Nervous Nelly.

❤️ After meeting both pairs of kittens, they decided Groucho & Telly were the ones for them! Happy adoption day sweet babies (now Potato & Tomato)!

💞 Foster Follow-Up 💞
Featuring Miss Plum (Pa-dum)

Her amazing mom sent us this update about our favorite girl:

“Miss Plum is truly living her best life. She has a new sister Dr. Party Girl, who she is quite fond of, although she’s even more fond of her slow eating habits (you can see the picture of Plum eating her food lol.) She absolutely adores her brother Rabbi, who she looks to for guidance on how to handle new things like visits to her grandma’s or foster kitties. She’s still insanely food motivated and very vocal about the importance of timeliness with dinner but now she’s got two back up singers. She’s still the absolute goofiest girl there ever was and just so unpredictable. Overall she’s just a happy and silly girl who loves life. She’s such a blessing and just makes my heart so happy, I think her brother and sister would absolutely say the same.”

🤩We love to see our former kitties thriving! If you’d like to give us an update on a kitten you adopted from our rescue, send us a message!

🚑After two weeks of medicine, love, & TLC, some of our newest intakes are looking SO MUCH BETTER!

❤️‍🩹We rescued these kittens from an ourdoor colony where they were suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection. Now, their eyes are bright & clear and they are happy & healthy. Aside from some ringworm we are fighting. (Looking at you, Button.)

😻It’s kitten season and while we have lots of tinies that will be available for adoption soon, we also have several wonderful older cats (aka big kittens) that are still looking for their forever homes! There are lots of reasons to consider adopting an adult cat over a kitten!

🐱they tend to be calmer
🐱they have well-developed manners
🐱they are already trained and require less supervision
🐱they are less chaotic
🐱they still have YEARS and YEARS of love to give
🐱they are still kittens at heart

Pictures 1 & 2: Girl Boss and Grand Larceny. These sweet boys have been looking for their forever home for the longest time. They are cuddly, playful, loyal, and SO CUTE.

Picture 3: Quinn. She is a 3 legged gal who is incredibly loving, cuddly, and gentle. She is the biggest sweetheart and she drools when she’s happy.

Picture 4: Mama Lola. She is a wonderful mama we rescued with her two babies. (And she comes with a bonus: her kitten Molly!) She is calm, gentle, and loves to hang out on the couch with you.

Picture 5: Miss Sarah. This girl did a wonderful job raising her adorable babies and now she is looking for her home. She is talkative, laid back, and oh-so-fluffy!

Picture 6: Tony. 🤌 Tony is such a big, bright personality. He is the biggest a lover boy and always wants to be with you. He is playful and has never met a catnip toy he doesn’t love.

💕Do you think your home might be a good fit for one of these sweethearts? You can fill out an application on our website today!

🚑This week’s TNR (trap, neuter, return) project included rescuing 8 kittens. These 3 were very sick, but have been getting great medical care and are already looking and feeling MUCH better!

📈This is a hard reality of kitten season. The majority of kittens born this summer will suffer and ultimately pass from upper respiratory infections, worms, dehydration and malnutrition.

❤️‍🩹This is why TNR & spay and neuter is SO important in preventing suffering and ending overpopulation.

🧡Foster Follow Up🧡
Featuring our favorite feral-turned-not-at-all-feral boi, OBI!

His wonderful adopter provided us with this update:

“Obi came to us as a (maybe?) feral (definitely!) good boy who showed up at Mary’s door and kinda sorta wouldn’t leave.

When Obi first came home to us he needed some love and support but I’m happy to report he has settled into the posh life of treats and unlimited pets and is now Mr. Obi (aka Obilicious aka Obeans aka Obama the President cat aka Oobi aka the bestest boy!!). Obi has become a loving and curious boy who hasn’t met a feather he didn’t want to murder but also gives the best head butt hugs and co-dependence lifestyle a gal could ever want. He is family now, and we love him so very much. Thank you for making our family complete.”

Have you heard of FIV in cats? Maybe in a negative or scary context?

There are a lot of old misconceptions about FIV due to a lack of research on it in the past. But now we know that FIV is a very manageable virus and should not equal an automatic death sentence for the cats who have it!

FIV+ cats can still live long and healthy lives. They can also live safely in the same home as an FIV- cat without fear of spreading it as long as there is a stable social structure.

We have had numerous cats with FIV come through our rescue that have found their forever homes and are living happy lives. When considering adoption, don’t overlook a perfect cat just because they happen to have FIV. It’s not a scary illness, just something to be aware of when it comes to their vet care. 💛

💌This past weekend, several of our amazing volunteers (and some kitties) came together to help us put together our thank you letters for our monthly donors and Screamies donors. Thanks to their help, we were able to mail out 600 letters!

🤩We love our team and we truly couldn’t do it without them.

✍️If you are a monthly donor and have not received any of the 2 letters we sent out in 2023, please send an email to [email protected]. This quarter’s letter should arrive by the end of April!

Gatekeep, Grand Larceny, and Girlboss are all still looking for their forever home. Share and help us get them to the perfect home!

❤️ Gatekeep, our shy little fuzzy girl, is a lap cat at heart. She’s an independent girlie, but at the same time prefers to be in the same room as her humans. She adores other cats and would do great in a home with feline brothers. Although Gatekeep is shy she has so much love to give. Her ideal home will have at least one other male cat, she doesn’t seem to get on with female cats.

❤️Grand Larceny & Girl Boss:
Grand Larceny (GL) is a confident boy who is super active and plays hard. He is affectionate and loves his toys as well as churu! Girl boss is the most gentle soul to ever exist, and very polite. GL can be very protective and so he needs to be in a home with just Girlboss.

You can find out more about all these babies or apply for adoption on our website https://missdixieskittenrescue.org/adoptions/ or you can click the link in our bio!

23/01/2024

✨ Meet Theo ✨Recently, one of our volunteers was contacted by a concerned friend who said that a cat had shown up out of the blue, parked himself on their front porch and never left. She recognized that this boy needed help - he was always crying and didn’t look to be in great shape.

We took one look at the pictures and saw that they were right - this boy needed help.  We jumped into action and were able to get the cat that same day.  We weren’t sure what his temperament was going to be since no one had tried to touch or interact with him. It took a total of 10 seconds to recognize that this boy was extremely friendly and that he was in very bad shape.  He was severely underweight and dehydrated, covered by fleas, suffering from dual ear infections, and an infected abcess on his leg.  He clearly hadn’t felt well enough to wash for quite a while because his coat was greasy, dirty and matted.

Theo was so sick that on the way home, he actually fell asleep. We like to think that being in a secure carrier, in a quiet car, with a kind person, and a soft blanket, he must have felt he was finally safe enough to sleep. 

Theo was seen by our vet the next morning. He underwent sedation in order to clean and address the ear and leg infections. Theo has a heart murmur, which meant sedation could be risky.  However, we had to try.  We held our breaths as Theo underwent anesthesia. And then: a call from the vet. Theo had made it! He had woken up from the anesthesia without any complications. 

Theo has been in the rescue’s care and in a loving foster home for 10 days now, and we are happy to report that he is thriving.  He’s already gained a whole pound and his abscess is healing nicely.  He’s been grooming himself and his coat is looking and feeling healthier.  His eyes are brighter.  And he loves his snuggles. Theo is 100% a lap kitty.  He will be ready for adoption soon!

Theo’s story is an excellent example of the transformations that we witness in so many of the cats that we take in.  They come to us sick and broken, but with proper vet care and lots of TLC by our incredible fosters, we watch them blossom into an entirely different cat.

Changing the Upstate One Kitten at a Time

Miss Dixie's Kitten Rescue is a 501(c)3 kitten rescue and rehabilitation organization. The rescue was established in February of 2019. At Miss Dixie’s Kitten Rescue, we rescue, provide for and protect abandoned and orphaned kittens. We provide specialized care and attention to sick, injured and orphaned feline neonates and prepare them for placement into loving, forever homes. Our long-term goals are as follows: To create an organization that rescues, cares for and adopts at-risk feline neonates. To help create local TNR (trap, neuter, release) programs medical support to reduce the number of sick, breeding cats contributing to the over-population of kittens needing serious medical care.
