The Ranch... Turkey Vulture Rescue? Naaaaah, we're gonna stick to cats but it was fun to help this fella yesterday! I saw them struggling down my driveway with what appeared to be an injured wing and scooped them up. Like ya do. Huge thanks to the Indiana Raptor Center for picking our friend up and getting them the care they need!

Fun things I learned - Turkey Vultures are like 95% wings, 3% legs and like 2% body. It weighed about as much as one of my large chickens, very light for such a big critter! No wonder they can so easily glide on air currents. They have big talons but that beak is like a 4" ice pick, grateful for my protective eye wear for sure!

Look at this absolutely gorgeous group of human beings! Yesterday we got to take a moment and celebrate our volunteer team with a Ranch Hand appreciation party. These lovely people, including several who were not able to join us, dedicate their time to keeping our feline overlords appeased. I will never fully be able to express my gratitude for this team but can make an attempt with silly trivia games, spray-painted trophies, and snacks.

Thank you to each and every Ranch Hand, present and past, who has made our rescue a better place with their time and talent.

Special shoutout to our sponsors and .pathways for helping fuel the fun!

What an amazing community! We're so grateful for the two people that donated window AC units to The Ranch yesterday! Gordon immediately claimed the 8000 BTU unit so we installed that for him on the main floor. A smaller unit was installed in our special needs room and the kitties in there really appreciate it!

We are still looking for an additional two window units. If anyone has one lying around, head over to theranchcatrescue.org/donate and fill out the local pick up form and our volunteer team will scoop them up.

I have an old freestanding unit that I'm going to try and rig up in our downstairs genpop room today. There's a slight logistical problem there as the basement windows only have a 12 inch opening and are mounted near the ceiling, making it so a window unit won't fit in those areas. It's gonna be a big strain on the compressor of a freestanding unit venting it up a 6' vertical run with two 90 degree bends, but I'm willing to risk it and see what happens!

It's never a dull moment over here, honestly, I pray for dull moments!! But I am forever thankful to our community for all y'alls support!! 🫶

Calling all units!! AC units, that is!

The Ranch has been without AC since our central air conditioning unit *lightly* caught on fire in the Fall of 2024. Last year we just dealt with it and honestly, it was miserable and it’s not safe (for the cats, our volunteers, or myself) to do that again this year.

Our amazing HVAC dude will be out in the next couple weeks to assess the damage and see if a repair is possible. More on how all that shakes out soon!

In the meantime, if you have a window AC unit that you’re not using and would like to donate it to help keep our kitties cool we would be forever grateful!

Head to theranchcatrescue.org/donate and fill out our Local Pickup Form and we’ll make arrangements to snag it ASAP. You can also make monetary donations that will go toward purchasing a couple of window units and to fund the assessment of the central unit.

Please help us spread the word! Thank mew!!!

Friends, we cannot thank you enough. Over the last few days you have sent 36 bags of cat food. THIRTY SIX!! That's enough to feed our 150+ residents for the next six(ish) weeks. This support means so much. The shelves are full, food bins are overflowing, and we don't need to worry about the emotional/physical labor of pickups or donation sourcing.

Thank you for believing in our work and helping keep our cats happy. There's never such thing as too much food so if you see this post and are inspired to send a bag as well visit theranchcatrescue.org/donate for all the ways to help our feline army.

❤️❤️❤️
