This is not a typical ask, but as someone who has seen hoarding cases with my own eyes and seen deceased cats on a property that aren’t being properly buried, and as a rescue who feeds inside and outside cats, and even as a Rescue in general, these are cats that did not end up passing alone or suffering, and I have respect for everyday citizens who decide to act themselves and do something.

So if you have the means to consider donating anything from the wish list, please consider donating food

I do not know this person. But I do know what it’s like in these photos. I also know it’s a thankless, expensive, never-ending, unpaid job.

Thank you to this person and every rescuer who takes it upon themselves to do something when they see an animal is in need of help.

Warning there are graphic photos in the post, so I am sharing the post and her wish list.

Hoarding cases are always emotional, ugly, and almost always come with sick and or deceased animals. Disease is spread like wildfire, minor kitty colds become deadly due to lack of medical care whether that’s because the cats are not social or they just can’t afford to help, and sadly, the Cat pays the price.

Order cases require a lot of resources and volunteers and even for a large organization they are not easy to handle.

If you see something, say something. If you see a problem getting out of hand., do something before it’s too late. Cats are a species that can multiply fast. You don’t have time to wait till tomorrow or wait for a day off of work or wait for another day. Another day means another litter. Another litter means for suffering. It means more mouths to feed and more disease to spread.

Someone willing to take on a large case like this when large organizations refused, are the kind of people who deserve support because most people would look the other way and try to make it someone else’s problem.

Does anyone have a shed or anything similar we could use to house feral cats this winter?

The rescue saves indoor cats and we also caretake for cats on the island who refuse to live a life indoors.

We already have a concrete slap to put it on, and if we get anything like the winter we had last year, if they’re going to be stuck in a location it should at least be enclosed with everything they need.

It doesn’t have to be a large one! 

I would just buy another small cheap one on Temu again, but we would need someone to build it!

Willow came in May 2025 with a severely injured mouth. We think she had electrocuted herself on accident, as a 3 month old kitten who showed up at a local feeder. This feeder cared for mostly older cats and wanted this friendly bean to have a chance at a good life! At first we were concerned she had mouth ulcers or lesions of some sort so she was on a major quarantine!

Later on since she was completely alone, and had been vetted we decided to house her with mama panda, and all the “P” beans. Miss panda had already taken over caring for our spoiled other loner bean, Louie.

So we thought we’d give it a try! Willow instantly LOVED having playmates and grew to love all the cats and kittens she met in the playroom. She watched all of her friends, one by one, find homes. While she sat and waited 17 months for hers.

And I’m soooo happy to say she finally got a home of her own🥹 Willow is an AVID wheel runner & they already ordered her a new wheel, she has lots of toys and has already had brief meetings with her new companion, Binx. They set her up with bird tv to ease her anxiety with all the changes and that is going well!

I’m so excited for Willow and I know all of the volunteers will miss her dearly. The playroom crew feels very strange without her, but we’re just so happy she finally got her family.

We love you Willow and we hope you have the happiest and best life. It was my pleasure nursing you back to health, and I will always remember how you spread you toes when you’re happy and you start kneading, and all of the love nibbles when you want attention, and your cute curly tail, and I’ll miss your quirky cross eyed face greeting me everyday!

Happy adoption day Willow🖤

We have had so many amazing adoptions! I am so thankful & happy to see so many amazing cats move on to their forever homes! It’s one of the best & most hard things in rescue, as our volunteers are quickly learning.

But ultimately the end goal is to transition to a new life where they get to be so loved and spoiled by new families who will love them just as much as we do!

Happy adoption day to all of our recent adopted kiddos, and congrats to their families!

We have some truly amazing volunteers! We had a whole crew of men and women who all came today and spent a good 3-5 hours helping me deep clean & get some important things done, including two meet & greets!

I really want to give a special thank you to all of our volunteers, including the New ones, and also to the amazing Group we have at our Petsmart location who handle adoptions, meet, and greet cleaning, and all of the craziness of Cat Rescue on a daily basis.

I truly am so blessed to have met the amazing humans who share the same crazy cat lady-ness as me!

These amazing humans socialize with our kitties, help clean up crazy messes they make, help with individual medical needs, and overall take things off my plate so I can focus on something else.

I know it is hard work. Sometimes it’s a little gross.😂 and often times it’s very hectic and even stressful.

But they continue showing up anyways and I truly do appreciate them all.

If you would like to join the crew, please reach out! We have fun as often as we can. We laugh & we work hard!

Volunteering is a great way to socialize and feel good & make a difference!🖤

If you’re looking to adopt a senior kitty, who loves to chat, follows you, joins you everytime you take a seat or a nap, then I have the guy for you!

Walter has earned a very special place in my heart. He showed up at a woman’s house for about a week and a half, and Walter kept attempting to go inside. The finders were unable to bring him in. So Walter made his way to us! And I’m so glad he did!

Walter gets to roam the rescue freely often. He is always napping or relaxing on the rug when I am busy doing chores. But if I walk through, he follows me to every area/floor. If he loses sight of me downstairs he will call out for reassurance!

He’s truly a special guy. I came to sit on my tablet and Walter immediately joined beside me on the bench so I moved over to the comfy chair and I didn’t even finish covering my legs with the blanket before he made himself comfortable!

Now Walter does appear to likely need dental work & still needs some standard vetting since he didn’t come with any information. We do think he’s neutered previously.

I would love to get Walter out of a kennel and into a home as early as possible.

He’s almost finished with his deworming protocol.

If someone wanted to foster / foster-to-adopt / adopt this sweet man, don’t hesitate!

He does good with being picked up, nail trims, other cats.

Walter is not going to grow older in a cage. We can’t let that happen. Let’s give him a real shot at a second life!

But in the mean time, I will give him lots of cuddles & love. He’s finally safe from that horrible time he spent outdoors. It’s a miracle he even survived outside as long as he did.

Help find the puuurfect home for Walter!

Large cat colony had a recent litter of kittens who were not doing so well. We went to the property based on reports of a kitty with an eyeball issue. And noticed that there were multiple sick kittens as well, so we were able to scoop up the sick kitties we seen on the property.

And with Ashley’s amazing help fostering the last couple days, they are all still with us. And seem to be improving a little each day.

We expect around $500 give or take for their medical care.

And huge thank you to Ashley & Leanne for helping coordinate & care for these beans.

Penny is definitely a fighter and has a strong will to stay with us so we’re going to do everything we can to make that happen!

You got this penny🖤

I seen this post in a kitty group. And I want to share some education.

Cats who have lived indoors their entire lives, do not have the skills or ability to survive outside.

The longer a cat spends indoors, relying on humans as caretakers, means they lose their ability to naturally survive in the wild.

Think about it. They’ve had their food supplied to them. Their bathroom is regularly cleaned. They have toys and comfy beds. They have companionship with their favorite humans who would do anything for them.

Indoors they spend their days napping on a comfy bed until their internal clock tells them it’s time for dinner. Then they casually wait and follow you to the food bowl. They eat the food and then they go take a nap.

This means their natural ability to hunt, avoid predators, avoid vehicles, find food, form a healthy safe colony, find shelter, live amongst wildlife, have all been removed from their lifestyles.

So placing an indoor only cat as an outdoor only cat, you can expect a range of issues.

They will likely be skinny and starving.

They will likely be extremely dirty. Especially medium & long hair cats.

They will be covered in fleas, ticks, and who knows what else.

They will be completely terrified & may hunker down for a while or wander until they’ve traveled too far and end up lost.

Lost = death sentence

Inability to hunt = death sentence

In short terms, if you put it in a way for humans to truly understand psychologically.

Humans develop a sense of street smarts when they’re forced or experienced street life long-term.

So people who have never had to live a life on or in the streets has no sense of ability to survive. They’re terrified in that predicament. They don’t know how to find food, shelter, and they may end up making bad decisions that get them hurt.

It’s the same way for cats.

Cats should never be tossed outside, relocated, moved, when they are indoor only cats.

Cats who are outside and have lived outside most of their life CAN be relocated to a new space with a PROPER PROTOCOL.

Relocating even a truly feral cat can have dire consequences because even if that cat has skills, they survived in their territory where they are familiar with and know where shelter, food, and safety is.

A feral relocated with no sense of familiarity is sadly often a death sentence.

Feral cats need two things. To have lived outside previously, and either a familiar territory or a very proper relocation protocol.

It’s never guaranteed the relocation protocol works, but having a group of cats at the same time makes the chances better that they will survive at the very least if they leave, and aren’t alone.

Humans can not solve inconvenient issues with randomly relocating cats. You are doing the exact same thing as slowly killing them yourself. Except out of sight, out of mind. And that doesn’t make you a better person.

It’s cruel outside. For humans and for pets.

Another large colony with very clear suffering.

Tonight was an interesting evening. Leanne & her boyfriend + me all went to check out a colony where there was a report of a kitty with an eye ball issue.

Upon visiting the colony we found a deceased cat, MULTIPLE critically sick kittens, and I’m told at least 20+ more who strangely look very healthy aside from the mom of the critically ill kittens, who has an injured front paw.

We found one kitten with an eye rupture but we’re unsure if there’s only one or if there were two.

I was able to sneak up behind & Nab the eye kitty while he stopped for a drink of water.

The other two were presenting with upper respiratory symptoms and in major need of antibiotics.

We only planned to grab the urgent kitty, but after finding one who passed already, it was clear these sick kittens were heading for the same fate without intervention.

Just these last 2 weeks we have been hit very hard with these serious & urgent cases back to back to back.

Bon was abandoned on a highway.

Dilly was abandoned at Dairy Queen.

Bart is being monitored very closely.

Walter is an old sweet man who wants nothing more than human affection & had no business being stuck outside.

Oakley passed away & we need to finish this colony to prevent more kitten suffering. Thankfully his mom, our second generation dumpster kitten mother, has been fixed this week!

Oakleys two siblings still battling uri symptoms.

The family of free kittens who would have passed without the timely medical intervention we provided.

We tried to triage two critically ill kittens this morning that a foster managed to grab from a “free kitten” person.

These cases require clavamox, azithro, Terramycin, tobramycin, b12 shots, fluids, appetite stimulants, wate powder, high calorie liquid, vitamin supplements, cat rebound, multiple other supplements, so so so many syringes, and needles, thermometer covers & thermometers. Tick removers. Bath supplies.

We are running out of our supplements to care for sick/critical/unwell cats. And we have a few thousand in non standard vet care I’m expecting & there are often surprises we are not expecting when it comes to inbreeding, lack of care, unhealthy colonies, & outdoor abandoned kitties

We are running out of basic supplies like sandwhich baggies, syringes, paper towels, trash bags, nitrel gloves, paper boats, laundry detergent, gentle purina dry food, kitten pate and adult pate wet food, dish soap, bleach.

I am updating our wishlists with our most urgent needs but we are seriously running out of everything.

Gift cards & monetary donations would be extremely helpful at this time!

🎁Chewy, Sam’s Club, Amazon, Walmart all make excellent gift cards for supplies also! They can be emailed to [email protected]

If you can spare anything to help save all of these precious souls who didn’t ask for the suffering they’ve endured due to the Choices of other humans.

Donating & even volunteering won’t erase their pain, but it helps ensure the suffering stops the moment they enter our doors.

Huge thanks to Leanne & everyine willing to work magic to get them help.

We just got updates for chilli & Cori! These were two long term kiddos we adopted out the end of last year.

They spent a whole year in the playroom waiting for the right home, and this man knew they were perfect even though they were both shy.

They are siblings & I am so happy to get this update!
