DRR friends, could you please do us one teeny, tiny, itsy bitsy lil favor. It's small. I mean really small. Fix your eyes on that little clicky spot that says "Share" then "Share now". That's it. Just 2 clicks. Maybe 5 seconds of work. Isn't Clover worth 5 seconds?

🫶 HOW LONG MUST SHE WAIT ⁉️

Pretty Clover has waited patiently at Boops & Beans Cat Cafe while 60 - 70 other cats have found their families. But please don't feel sad for her. It just means the perfect family or person hasn't found her yet.

This post is about YOU helping CLOVER get some exposure. I need friends that will share her post every day. I wanna flood Facebook with CLOVER ALL OVER until B&B shares with us that her people have arrived for her.

Here's a few deets about Clover:
🍀 Loves people, taller people as in 12 or older
🍀 Not a cat person
🍀 Comes with aftermarket modifications, she's a three wheeler
🍀 Avid bird catcher - no birds harmed, all bird "catching" is done by TV
🍀 The Roadrunner has nothing on her...she's fast
🍀 Six years young

"Clover is proof that sometimes the best things come with a twist, and clovers don't need four leaves to be lucky."
Shamelessly stolen from B&B website

🏠 OOPSIE! 🐈‍⬛️

We are just a little overbooked and could really use a foster family that could house 2 sweet kittens for a bit. They don't ask much, just food and a clean 💩box. They are already fully vetted and just need a foster home until their furrever people find them. If you can help, please send us a PM. And if you cannot, please share.

Rescue is not about helping every single request that comes in at record speed. Sadly, it’s not possible, no matter how hard you try. 😿

❌ It’s not about helping beyond your capacity. Even if the person requesting help doesn't understand that you work 24/7 for free, we do. Sometimes they just have to wait... and don't worry, they'll get over it. 😉

Don’t get the message confused, though; helping a large amount of animals is great! But, it shouldn’t be solely about numbers.

✨ It’s about heart, compassion and proper care of the animal.

✨ It’s about helping when you CAN and how you CAN.

✨ Do your part. Even if it’s just one cat, that’s enough.

Depleting your own energy or resources without replenishing them will eventually lead to burnout, making it impossible to be of service to anyone. Set boundaries and make time for rejuvenation.

👉🏽 Please use this as a reminder that prioritizing your own well-being is not selfish, but a necessary prerequisite for being able to give to others. Love to all the helpers out there! 🫶🏽😻🫶🏽

Blountville, TN

Titus is still missing. Please share. Someone has seen him. I just know it.

Boops & Beans Cat Cafe has planned a WONDERFUL no cost and no commitment opportunity for community members to learn more about fostering cats. For the benefit of all attending, space is limited so please follow the link below to learn how to reserve your spot THIS SATURDAY.

I cannot give a better example of why YOU are needed and the difference you can make in fostering a cat or kitten than the picture below. Hiro was a very sick 300g kitten that would absolutely not have survived without a foster family. Today he is happy, healthy and thriving because someone said, "sure, I will help that lil guy."

📊 BY THE NUMBERS - SEPTEMBER 📈

It's that time again. Time for last month's update. It was another busy month and the kittens just keep streaming in. Some days it feels like we aren't making a dent in the animal welfare crisis but then we remember we made a difference for the cats you see pictured below. We are tired but our hearts are full. And if not us, then who?

🐾 Celebrated 6 adoptions
🐾 Four of those adoptions were thanks to the partnership with Boops & Beans Cat Cafe. We closed the chapter of the last foster with Forever Furry Friends' girl Sugar as well as closing the Wolfpack chapter with Valko's adoption. Yes! He finally went into the right carrier.
🐾 Welcomed 18 new cats in need into foster

Thanks to beautiful partnerships with WCJC Animal Shelter - Judy and Doug Lowrie Spay Neuter Clinic and Operation: Johnson Kitty we:
😮 Helped 21 cats to happier, healthier lives with speuter surgery
😮 10 males that can father an unlimited number of kittens in a year never got the chance to
😮 11 females that won't produce an average of 176-264 kittens in the next year

💉😿 We did receive a heartbreaking diagnosis of FIP for foster Dizi (will add pic in comments). She beat the odds of euthanasia at a local animal control in July and now with the help of Help For FIP she will beat this too! We really could use your financial support to fund the 84 day treatment protocol. So if you could remember her on payday for the next 12 weeks, we would be so grateful.

🔢 Currently:
🫟 96 cats in our foster program with 4 of those cats pre-adopted
🫟 Average number of days in foster 160 days (down 6 days from August)
🫟 Five active foster families + Boops & Beans

We absolutely couldn't do what we do without YOU! Daily we are overwhelmed with the support of donation dollars, supplies, and your engagement on our social media platforms. If you ever feel unappreciated, just holla...we'll be sure to tell you how much you matter to us!
