🖤 $5 FRIDAY 🖤
We have babies just days away from new beginnings! The 3 black beans + 1 abandoned graybie.
Graybie Fancy is headed in for spay & vetting today to get all ready for forever. She made the journey all the way to the low cost clinic Wednesday, only to find the vet was out sick. Thankfully we were able to get her in somewhere else, but double the distance and for double the price. 🫠 Whatever it takes!
We have a $300 goal today to cover the rest of these kids' vetting. It shouldn't cost money to save babies, but it sure does. We stay so covered up in helping adult cats, we just don't have the resources for itty bitties. Still, sometimes we gotta make it happen for them & that means we need you! 💞
Here's how to help! ⤵️
🤎 $5 FRIDAY for Finn & FOOD 🤎
Finn (as in Finland) is from our worldly colony. He showed up there limpy with painful feetsies, a swollen nose, and a painful mouth.
At the vet, he was found to have pododermatitis (aka pillow foot), an ulcerated tongue, crackly lungs, and a nasty infection and rhinitis causing his swollen, bloody nose. His prognosis was a little guarded, but he is feeling so much better with meds. He is most likely going to be one of the ongoing-needs type with chronic issues. (Show us a cat without ongoing problems and prove they exist!! 😅)
Finn is a very feral boy and a difficult patient, but he's making progress. He is due for a recheck next week and we still owe a balance on his last visit, so today's focus is our vet balance + Cat Chow, which we are all out of.
Can you spare $5 today to help care for these babies? I'll share a current view of Finn later today! 💕

🩷 $5 FRIDAY 🩷
For our medical fund! Up next for pricey medical is this pretty girl's dental. Her name is Sierra Leone and she is from our worldly colony, where each cat is named after a country. She showed up there in rough shape-- thin, dirty, drooly. She looked so bad that someone who saw her asked if they could shoot her to "put her out of her misery." 😓
She's super smart and independent, so it took a long time to catch her. We don't give up though! The vet called her a little old lady and said she has severe dental disease. She is already missing most of her teeth, but the remaining ones need to be taken care of. She has been patiently waiting for her appointment and it's finally time!
We actually have FIVE cats scheduled for dentals in the coming weeks-- all in urgent need of extractions for painful teeth. 😬 Needless to say, we need your help!
Donations can be called in directly to the vet on our account at Fayette Vet at 304-574-4838, under Loved at Last.

⭐️ $1,000 DONATION MATCH ⭐️
For vet bills and food! Donate now and your gift will double thanks to an amazing friend! 😍
FeLV+ Floyd is in for his dental today. Giselle also went in for exam and testing. She IS FeLV+, as suspected. She is in good shape though and had a good exam, so hopefully she'll be healthy for a good long while. She did really well with all the poking and prodding. 🧡 She'll get to reunite with her old friend Tofu now. He's no brother Tater, but he's his own special kinda guy.
Donations can be called into the vet directly today until about 5pm EST for today's patients. 304-255-4159, account under Amy Christian, client ID 78331. Call in donations count towards the match, too!
I've also finally wrangled Fig Newton 🙌 and will have to get him in at the vet tomorrow or Friday. I suspect dental disease with him, so he'll be another $500-$700ish boy.
If you'd rather not give $$, you can always send food from Amazon or Chewy. Food senders are great big heroes! 😍😍😍
Benjamin first wants you to know that all he *really* wanted was to nap without interruptions, but he will begrudgingly be the face of today's Christmas in July🎅 wish! 😹
Today we seek PAPER TOWELS! This is a rarely received need, but something we go through like crazy to keep things clean and disinfected. Certain boys 👀👀👀 with tummy troubles sometimes require us to use more paper towels than others. There is a great option on our Amazon list for just over $7, so if you have Prime you can send a pack with free shipping! If you don't have Prime, we can order them if you'd like to sponsor a pack.
Paper towels aren't cute or fun, but they are very much a necessity in our feline filled world. 🐈⬛🌎

We're going to kick off our Christmas in July fundraiser with a $5 Friday! Each day for the rest of this month we'll ask for a prezzie that the cats need. At the end of the month, everyone who has given the beebies a 🎁 will be in a drawing to win a prezzie too.
Today, we need $$ to help cover vet bills and day to day survival. We started the month in the hole after not hitting goal last week. Can you do a mini splurge for the 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ today? $5 is all we ask.

Festie is out here living his best life, taking dirt baffs, and soaking up the sun! 🌞 He feels so good since his dental last week.
THANK YOU to everyone who donated for last week's vet bills! We hit goal, got everything paid in full, and last week's patients are doing great. 🙌🥰

It's that time again and we have to get our vet debts paid! We have a $500 goal today to get April's bills covered.
This handsome feller is Marshall. We found him hungry, crusty, dirty, itchy, and sicky last month. After a long course of antibiotics and lots of TLC, he is feeling so much better! He's good to get neutered and vaccinated now, which he's scheduled for soon, and then he'll be ready to find his very own home. 🏡
Marshall's vet bill is one we need to get paid. Can you help?

Thank you to everyone who donated! 💕 We got just over halfway to our $500 goal.
This past weekend was spent trapping and rounding up cats, cats, and more cats. We were able to take 38 cats for spay & neuter on Monday! 28 girls and 10 boys, all from local colonies. 💞
Here's the whole gang! And today is a good ol' fashioned $5 Friday to help cover the costs of these babies' needs. We need your support to be able to do this important work.
Giving just $5 helps us to keep saving lives! 💓

🎃 13 cats of Halloween 🎃
Look at our very own little pumpkin Dave! Dave has been dubbed the leader at his colony, which we call Dave's colony. This is the new colony we took on this summer. Dave was thin and hungry, but look at the little porker he's become since he lucked into being a LAL boy. Getting neutered and being fed every day changes everything for wild guys like Dave. 🥰
Dave's day today is all about $5 FRIDAY! We have an amazing friend matching up to $100 today. We have a $544 balance at the spay/neuter clinic to pay and Pokey is headed back to the vet this afternoon, so this is all for our medical fund.

🎃 13 cats of Halloween 🎃
In the days leading up to Halloween, get ready to meet 13 of our Halloweeniest black and orange cats & learn about something they need!
Tater Tot is a wild boy from a colony we call "the hungry colony." The cats there were some of the hungriest cats we've ever met when we found them. He sticks close to his sister Giselle & they are always eagerly awaiting breakfast together. He's also become good pals with Gale, a colony original, and sometimes I catch them snugglin'. He's a good wittle boy and doesn't start trouble or try to pick on anyone. The same can't be said for some of the rest of us! 😹
Tater Tot's using his big day to ask for straw for winter shelters! We had our first snowflakes fall yesterday. All of our shelters need to be refreshed and more need to be made for our newest colonies + for others in the community.
We're hoping for just 10 people to give $10 today towards this need.
🖤🧡🖤
How to help ⤵️
Pokey goes back to the vet tomorrow! He has been doing really well. He was extra miserable in his cone right after surgery and he had lots of drainage keeping it dirty, so I took it off to give him a chance without it. He has been the perfect little patient, not messing with the wound at all. 🤎 His blood work was out of whack last week, so he has to have that repeated tomorrow and get his wound checked.
Helping injured adult cats like Pokey is one of our biggest passions. (Especially the super feral ones, which ain't this guy though.) Many of the injuries we see aren't immediately life threatening, but the slow effects of pain and infection take hold over time and can lead to a painful end without intervention. Medical care, TLC, and down time to heal = the magic they need to keep on catting. 🥰
We need your help to cover Pokey's vet bill tomorrow so we don't go any further in the hole! Please see comments below for how to help! ⤵️
Morgan's not sure why he's being filmed here, but we figure it pays to be suspicious! 😹
THANK YOU to our friends who came out and donated food today! We ❤️ you!
We fell short of our goal for the day, but we collected enough food & monetary donations to cover about 5 days worth of feeding. Our Fall food drive will continue all month with hopes that we can stock up a bit for the winter months. We'll be at Pet Supplies Plus again on 10/14 at Operation Underdog's Tricks & Treats 🐾🎃 event!
You can send food from Amazon or Chewy any time through our wishlists.

🆘️DONATIONS NEEDED🆘️
**today's bill was $552. $30 for meds for Lewis, who has cancer, and $522 for Pokey. Only $160 has been received to cover his vetting**
Pokey is at the vet with a gnarly wound and we need help to cover his bill! (See previous post more info.) I hope that money never forces us to say no to helping injured cats from the colonies we've worked on. 🙏

HELP! 🚨
Pokey is part of a colony we helped spay & neuter in the spring. He disappeared for a few weeks and made his way back home this weekend with a nasty wound. (You can see it in the video, but watch at your own risk.)
Thankfully he is in good spirits and appears to be in good shape besides this wound! We obviously have to help him, so hopefully we can rally the troops and make it happen. He is headed to the vet this morning.
The best way to donate is PayPal or by calling the vet and making a donation on our account. The number is 304-255-4159, account under Amy Christian, client ID 78331.
We can only help with injuries like this with your support! ❤️❤️

Let's talk about one of last week's medical kitties, one of our current patients getting extra TLC. This is Gretel. 💟
Gretel is from a colony we've been working on. They have a big hearted and loving caretaker, but she is a senior who can't offer much more than love and food. She does great at covering those 2 bases! The fixin' and vetting is where we come in. Parasites and not being spayed/neutered can be enough alone to wreak havoc on a cat's health, but Gretel was found to have a big ol polyp in her throat that was dragging her down too. It was removed and she is feeling much better! She was also spayed and has been treated for all the parasites. She's definitely on the mend, but still has some healing to do.
We still desperately need to get last week's medical expenses covered. We still have $650 to raise to cover last week's medical needs. We do a lot of begging, even more lately it seems, but it isn't for personal gain. It's for these babies. If we don't beg for them, they will not get the care they need. They deserve to feel good and be happy. Please be part of making that possible. 💓
