Funny Kittens

 One of my most favorite pics I've taken of our kittens at the adoption center. It cracks me up!!

Till we meet again sweet boy!

Today I took one of our kittens, Sokka, to the vet and got the worst news. This sweet little guy had cancer and there was nothing that could be done to keep him here. Our sweet vet helped him go peacefully. We have lost too many and it is heartbreaking every single time. Each of our kitties hears from me often, "you are wanted, you are loved". But how many are out there who have never known kindness and love? Rescue is wonderful and rewarding and physically and emotionally exhausting. I am grateful for my daughter Annalina, who has taken on so much responsibility at the rescue. She loves the cats, and me, unconditionally.

Precious moments

Tonight I got in some kitten time. These are 2 of Jade's 3. They are one week old and their eyes are starting to open. Ears are mostly unfolded. They are growing. And they are loud until they snuggle in! I am so in love! I am grateful every day for the opportunity I have to work with so many sweet little spirits. I have to thank my friend Lisa Hoffman for introducing me to this idea years ago, long before I knew I loved cats. I'd have never thought I'd be doing something like this!

Scared New Rescues

 When we first rescue a cat or kitten, they are extremely afraid. They may have been outside on their own for a while. They may have been abused and never felt the love of a human hand. Today, we had an emergency. Cold temps, ice and snow and a pregnant momma with her older litter dumped at an apartment complex. We don't know how far along sweet momma is, but we know her newborns would not make it in this weather. We set the traps and got momma and one of her three kittens. The others were no where to be found, so we left food under the shed they hide under and put a blanket under there too. We will set traps again tomorrow and hope to get the entire family. Tonight's rescues are afraid, and I just want to hug them and tell them life gets better now. But we will give them their space and before long they will understand that they are loved and wanted and will be protected. Just look at them. Mother and daughter look so much alike! And momma is much too little to be on her second pregnancy. =(

Permacat and Foster Bonding

This is Joy. She was sick and so tiny when we got her! Now she is healthy and strong! She goes in for a spay tomorrow, then it won't be long until she is ready for her forever home! We will miss her, even Ahi, who is keeping warm with her today.

Joy, the kitten

Meet Joy! She came in with 8 siblings! Two did not make it, but the rest are all growing and thriving, while she eats constantly but is not putting on weight. She has been dewormed multiple times. I don't like feeling those tiny bones, so we may be headed to the vet. But she is a delight! She loves to snuggle and she will attack ANY food you happen to have. She's got a fun personality and brings us lots of joy! I love her so much!

Momma Bella

These sweet babies came in with momma cat, Bella. They had 6 more siblings who were already given away before I could get them. And they had 3 more who were too tiny to survive. 13 babies in one litter. Bella is a super mom! These guys are just 6 weeks old. They are healthy and beautiful! Bella is a real angel. She is still very young and previous to her last home, lived with people who fought dogs, who left her behind when they moved. As you can see from her photo,  she lost her foot to a dog attack and it will need some medical care. We are getting medical lined up for her. She does okay getting around though. We love her and her babies so much!

They come, they go

So I adopted out my cuddle bug this week. Sweet lil Humphrey has a new home, a perfect home, where I just know he is being adored and spoiled!! Seriously, such a precious adoption experience. I am always sad to let a kittie go, but Humphrey left a hole in my heart. Look at him in that first photo, he's so sweet! Last night I brought home little angel River Tam, who had been with another foster, Second photo. She didn't like the other cats and would run and hide. I finally got her and kept her with me, she was just spayed and very disoriented. She instantly distracted me from my sadness. This morning she is doing great, getting along and interacting with the others, but she really wants to cuddle and she's staying very close to me. She's got an extra toe on each of her front paws. Oh my heart!!! All kitties are so precious. They all deserve so much love!
