🧡 AMBER: THE BEST KIND OF "FAIL!" 🧡

We have the most beautiful update on our girl, Amber.
Her foster mom, Sue, spent countless hours teaching Amber that humans can be trusted and that she is finally safe. Sue did her job so well that Amber decided she never wanted to leave!
Amber fell head-over-heels for her foster mommy, and Sue’s family was equally smitten with the tiny wisp of a kitten who blossomed into a confident, loving girl under their care. They couldn’t bear to part with her, so they’ve made it official... Amber has been adopted by her foster family! 🥳
In the rescue world, we call this a "Foster Fail"—and we are just so incredibly happy that this precious girl has found her forever home. Amber, we wish you the best life ever!

🚨 STOP SCROLLING: WHY IS NO ONE CALLING? 🚨

We are heartbroken and baffled. Daisy and Buttons are two incredible kittens, yet they have become completely "invisible." Since being listed, we have had zero interest.
💔 The Heartbreaking Silence
While other pets are being noticed, Daisy and Buttons are being scrolled past over and over again. They are sitting in a room in a foster home right now, watching life go by and wondering why no one has stopped for them yet.
• Daisy (black and white girl):
A brave little survivor and a total sweetheart. She was hit on the head when she was tiny, and although she is perfectly healthy, she has been left with the most endearing permanent head tilt. Because of her past, she must be an indoor-only princess to keep her safe and sound.
• Buttons (Tortoiseshell girl):
A happy, high-energy "busy body" who is always on the move! She has the most unique, adorable "Pikachu" tail that wiggles whenever she’s excited (which is always!).

Available individually or together! You don’t have to take both to save a life—you just have to give one a chance.

📢 WE NEED AN URGENT BOOST
We know their perfect families are out there, but they won’t see them unless YOU help us spread the word.
1. SHARE this post right now.
2. TAG someone looking for a kitten.
3. COMMENT "Boost" to help others see this.
Let’s get the phone ringing today. They’ve waited long enough for their life to start. 🐾📞

HE PACKED HIS OWN BAGS! 🐾📦🐈‍⬛

We always knew Koda was a smart boy, but today he proved he was more than ready for his forever home! ✨ After waiting so long for his perfect match, Koda didn’t even wait for an invite—as soon as the carrier came out, he stepped right inside! 🚙💨

It was his way of saying, "Okay, I’ve seen enough, let’s go home!" 🏠❤️

Have a wonderful life, Koda! 🥂 We’re going to miss your purrs and head-boops around here, but we are so thrilled you finally found your people. 😻🐾

Happy trails and lots of treats, sweet boy! 🐟💤

🌿 Phoenix is a little pause in a busy world -

Calm, soft, and full of quiet affection, she may not announce herself loudly — but she gives love in the gentlest, most heartfelt way. A perfect companion for someone who appreciates quiet moments.

🧡 ALUMNI-OPDATERING: WORTEL LEEF SY BESTE LEWE! 🧡
Onthou julle nog hierdie klein oranje spruitjie? ’n Paar weke gelede het ons vir Wortel gegroet toe hy na sy vir-altyd-tuiste vertrek het, en ons kry die heerlikste hartverblywende nuus! 🥕✨
Wortel se nuwe gesin vertel dat hulle halsoorkop verlief is op hom. Hy floreer behoorlik en geniet elke bietjie aandag en liefde wat hy kry.
Dit is opdaterings soos hierdie wat ons herinner presies hoekom ons doen wat ons doen. Om te sien hoe ’n katjie van "reddings-diertjie" na "bederfde koning van die huis" gaan, is die beste beloning waarvoor ons kan vra! 🐾👑
Lekker speel, Wortel! Ons kan nie gelukkiger wees vir jou en jou wonderlike nuwe gesin nie. 🥂😻

"The Morning Sand-Trap: A Foster Mom Survival Story" 🚩

They said foster kittens would be "magical," they didn't mention the midnight beach parties in the litter box! 🏖️🐾
Our tiny roommates are officially outgrowing their "baby" setup. I woke up this morning to a room that looked more like a sandbox than a bedroom. It’s officially time for the Big Kid Box upgrade! 🚽✨
Being a foster mom means celebrating the milestones—even the messy ones. Grow, babies, grow! (Just maybe keep the confetti inside the box from now on? Please?)
