We are very grateful for a $40 donation that we received today as we're very low on food and out of cat litter except for what is currently in the litterboxes. We currently have $46.36 in the nonprofit's bank account and are out now on a supply run to get cat litter. If you'd like to donate to the rescue via PayPal or Venmo, our email is [email protected]. donations are tax deductible. Thank you everyone who keeps this rescue mission alive.

It is our duty as Americans to get out and VOTE!!! 💙
P4P recommends NOT voting for the RxPxOxS!! 💩

Here we go again... another election cycle, another divisive decision to make. If you are ok with a racist running the country? If so, at least you know wh...

We have an anonymous donor that will MATCH all donations up to $1000!
Please help us take care of this little guy and his family. We desperately need these funds to continue our work! Even the smallest amount is appreciated! Every single dollar donated will be matched 100%! If you ever considered giving to our little disorganization, this is the perfect time since every dollar given will be doubled and your donation will have TWICE the impact. 🤗
Major THANKS to all of you who help and support this rescue. We could not do this without you! 💚🩷🙏🏼

At the vet with a kitten named Garth Blackwood, born with possible trauma to his spine or deformities resultinv in limited us of his hind legs. Getting him assessed and x-rayed. Would anyone be interested in fostering him and his one surviving sibling and his mother? We have over 20 cats we need to get fixed on a street in Perris. CA, some with health issues and we are expecting over $3000 in vet bills in the weeks ahead. If you can, please donate via Venmo or PayPal to: [email protected]. Thank you. ❤

Good news tonight! Val, the injured bird who I found earlier today is now in the very capable healing hands of animal rescuer and rehabilitator Conni Chaffin/Conni Lantzy who runs the Feathers 'n Fur Rehab Team and Feathers 'n Fur Animal Sanctuary out here in the desert in Twentynine Palms. She very graciously agreed to take him in and - according to Conni - Val, who is apparently a Eurasian dove, likely flew into something and hurt his head and his eye. He doesn't seem to be too badly beat up in general though we couldn't really tell how serious his eye injury is when I dropped him off. For now, he is in the best possible place where he will receive the best possible care and I am hopeful that he will be able to fly and be free again. I hope he isn't blind in that eye but if it isn't too severly injured, I'm confident Conni will have him seeing and swooping again very soon. Thank you so much, Conni, for helping him and thank you everyone who supports my animal rescue and Conni's as well.

You’re amazing 😻

If you choose to rescue animals, I am going to give you some sound advice - Grow thick skin and don't care what people think of you. I have known people to lose the battle with their minds and we just lost a kind, caring individual in my rescue network. Compassion fatigue is real, but nothing is worth your life. No pet. No rescue. No person's opinion. Nothing.

In rescue, that person that tells you what an angel you are and how wonderful you are every time you pick up a stray pet thrown at their door will also be the first person who tells people how your organization is worthless when you don't have space to pick up the 30th pet thrown off on their property. It's ok.

In rescue, the adopter that leaves you the five star review about how wonderful everyone has been will change that review quick when they return the pet even though you have spent hours trying to keep it in their home. One star reviews are ok.

In rescue, your friend will be your friend until you deny their application for a pet because they are a great friend but a terrible pet owner. That's ok too.

In rescue, you will answer 143 calls in a day (yesterday to be exact). But if you miss 6 calls in a row while you are in the shower, you will be the one who "never answers their phone". It's ok.

In rescue, other rescuers and random trolls will judge everything you do but never have time to pitch in a hand to help when they see something needing more attention. They will, however, have lots of time to talk about how they’d do it better while they harass and judge you. It will be ok.

In rescue, you will have to involve animal control and the police department sometimes. The people who you take pets from will hate you - and I mean REALLY hate you. Trust me, it's ok.

In rescue, pets will be put down and pets will die at the hands of abusers. We can't save them all - and that's ok. We save the ones that we can and pray for peace for the ones we can't.

I have been in the animal rescue world since 2009. I have dealt with every problem and every situation imaginable. I used to take some things to heart, then I realized - I am doing this for the animals, not for any person in this world. I have found my joy and no person will take that. If you are in rescue, don't let anyone or anything take your joy. Find peace that you will never please everyone. Find peace that you will never save them all. Never allow something you love to turn into something that ends your life.
