Meet Sweet Cheeks, who came to us with an a**l prolapse a couple of weeks ago. This tiny baby is in the care of one of our amazing (very patient) fosters, who is doing her best (with the help of our awesome vets) to manage her raging diarrhea and get her well. (it's not all cuddles and kisses!)

Sweet Cheeks is one of the lucky ones- so many kittens like her suffer every year because there are simple more being born than we can rescue our way out of. Your support today and throughout the year helps us say "Yes!" to more kittens like Sweet Cheeks, and allows us to finance more trap-neuter-release to help prevent the suffering.

To learn more about some other cats and kittens that have come through our rescue this year, visit www.cherishedcats.org/profiles. THANK YOU! 😺

Sometimes you gotta air out those freshly removed bits...

We funded the spay/neuter and vaccination of 42 outdoor community cats in November, bringing our 2024 total to more than 385 cats removed from the reproductive roster! THANK YOU to all the amazing people out there doing the hard work of trapping and transporting to make this possible.

Please consider a Giving Tuesday donation today in support of this work! Visit www.cherishedcats.org to donate, and to learn about how to use our funds to help reduce the population of unwanted cats and kittens in our local area!

LAST CHANCE! Donations are doubled by generous matching donors through today: www.cherishedcats.org/catmatch

Throughout 2024, a dedicated volunteer worked with property owners in Union County to address a cat colony of mostly friendly cats and kittens in need of a new place to land. We have pulled at least twenty five cats from the property, the majority of which have been socialized enough to be adoptable. Projects like these require a significant amount of work, including trapping and transporting, and fostering. It’s also taxing emotionally, as it can be hard to make the right choice with cats who are only partially socialized.

In this case we also lost one kitten, who likely had significant flea anemia (I’ve never seen gums that white)- and that's the sad reality for too many kittens born outside. There are too many of them, the dangers are countless and the suffering unnecessary. It can be prevented, or at least limited, by spaying and neutering community cats before they become a "colony," as well as all pets. Please consider helping us help do more of that in our local area! 😺

Stories like Fiona's are made possible by the support of our amazing community of cat lovers. Through tomorrow, 11/4, generous donors will DOUBLE your donation- visit www.cherishedcats.org/catmatch for details.

In August we were contacted about a tiny kitten with some pretty significant eye infection. This is an unfortunately common reality among kittens born outside to fend for themselves. It was initially unclear what her fate would be- these infections can be quite painful, and often these kittens have additional issues. But Fiona is now a healthy, happy, affectionate kitten! While she will never had much, if any, sight, she hasn't known any different for most of her life, and will be just fine! She'll be spayed soon and will hopefully make her appearance at The Scratching Post- Lewisburg Cat Cafe in the next month or two, where she'll learn to find her away around and get into trouble just like any other kitten.

*NOTE: Initial pics will be in the comments- steer clear if you're squeamish!

Thank you to everyone who came to visit the kitties at the Public Library for Union County today! Also, much appreciation to Mary at the library for helping make it happen, and to our fosters for bringing all the great kittens! Even Ariel the escape artist. 😹

There are only a few days left to help us maximize the matching gift funds from our generous donors. Visit www.cherishedcats.org/catmatch to help today! Thank you!

Whoops! We missed sharing our September numbers: we funded 26 TNR surgeries in September, and an additional 34 in October. This brings our 2024 total to nearly 340 cats! This means we've spent more than $17,000 this year working to reduce the population of stray and feral cats in our local area.

Through 11/4, we have generous donors willing to DOUBLE YOUR DONATION- will you help support our continued TNR efforts and the work to prevent kittens from being born to a difficult life outside?

Help us maximize the generosity of our matching donors in support of kittens like Bogey and Bacall: www.cherishedcats.org/catmatch

Current residents at The Scratching Post- Lewisburg Cat Cafe Bogey and Bacall had a rough start to life. We don't know why their mom left them behind in the landscaping soon after they were born, but clearly they needed help. These tiny babies were lovingly bottle fed by fosters until they were eating independently- which when they're tiny means bottle feedings every few hours around the clock. And look at them now!

Your donations makes stories like this one possible- these two ate A LOT of KMR! 😹 We invest hundreds of dollars more than adoption fees can support into each cat in our care, and that's not possible without your help. THANK YOU!

Are they a little bit country? Or a little bit rock & roll?

Hard to believe September is nearly over, but here we are! In August we funded 33 TNR surgeries for stray/feral community cats, bringing the 2024 total to 266 cats taken off the reproductive roster using our financial support. As always, thank you to the individuals doing the trapping work, as well as the veterinary staff who make it possible!

Our fosters had a busy day at the vet yesterday! Li'l Petey Marmalade was neutered, and also underwent a liver biopsy, as his values have not returned to normal with treatment. And Chicken Wing was spayed, and had her previously injured front leg amputated, so it's no longer dragging and in her way. Please join us in profusely thanking the amazing folks at Susquehanna Trail Animal Hospital for providing them excellent care. 😍 We'd also welcome you joining us in covering the cost of these procedures! 😺

Come see us tomorrow!

LEWISBURG — Dozens of adoptable kittens will be available for a meet and greet on Saturday during Cherished Cats Rescue Alliance’s annual celebration of the Nine Miles for Nine Lives

02/09/2024

Li'l Petey Marmalade here showing off how GREAT he's looking now! He now tops at the scales at over four pounds! Hopefully his recheck in a couple weeks looks as good as he does. He wants to remind you that you can meet him and lots of kittens like him this Saturday, 9/7, from 10A-2P at St. John's Church on Buffalo Road in Lewisburg. Along with lots of kittens there will be some fun chances to win and some goodies to enjoy. Please come by and join the fun!

We funded the TNR of 41 community cats in July!

This prevents HUNDREDS of kittens from being born into a life of suffering and helps break the over-population cycle. Want to help? Visit the "I Need Help" section of our website to apply for funding to have the unowned, outdoor cats in your neighborhood spayed, neutered and vaccinated! We also have traps available to loan and can show you how to use them. You can always make a donation to support these on-going efforts via our website. THANK YOU!
