💕 TWO BEAUTIFUL PERSIAN GIRLS NEED A FOREVER HOME — TOGETHER! 💕

Meet Ella and Bella! These two beautiful girls are just one year old and have spent their entire lives together. They share a special bond, and we will not separate them! ❤️

They are currently living with twin sisters who love them dearly but, unfortunately, are no longer able to provide the care they need. We would love to help find these girls a wonderful home where they can spend the rest of their lives together.

We have been told they are purebred Persians, although there are no registration papers.

Both girls are spayed, fully vaccinated and litter-box trained. They are shy, especially around new people, but also playful and independent. They will need a little patience, lots of love and someone willing to give them time to settle into their new surroundings.

We are looking for a loving, permanent home with someone who understands the grooming needs of Persians and is ready to welcome BOTH girls into their family.

💕 If you are interested in adopting Ella and Bella, please complete the adoption application linked in the comments.

And please SHARE! You never know who might see this post and turn out to be the perfect family for these two beautiful girls. 🐾❤️

🎃🐾 TRICK OR TREAT… WE’VE GOT SOMETHING SWEET! 🐾🎃

Forget the candy! We’ve got five little treats that are guaranteed to steal your heart! 🧡

Meet five of our adorable bottle babies at Storybook Rescues!

These tiny pumpkins have been lovingly hand-raised, bottle-fed, and spoiled with lots of TLC. Watching them grow from helpless little babies into curious, playful kittens is one of the sweetest parts of rescue.

And here’s the exciting news…

🎃 In approximately four weeks, these little pumpkins should be ready to find their forever homes! 🎃

For now, they’re busy growing, playing, and perfecting the art of being ridiculously adorable.

We thought we’d give everyone a little Halloween sneak peek at what’s coming!

❤️ Which little pumpkin stole your heart?

Happy Halloween from all of us at Storybook Rescues! 🐈🧡

10/30/2026

If you’ve been wondering what we’ve been up to at Storybook Rescues lately, the answer is… a little bit of EVERYTHING!

We’ve been trapping feral cats, arranging spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinating animals, making endless trips to the vet, transporting animals, and celebrating some wonderful adoptions.

At one trapping location, we discovered four kittens we hadn’t planned to take in. Thanks to our wonderful veterinarian at Oak Grove Vet Clinic all four were spayed or neutered. And thanks to a grandson who stepped up to socialize them and help find them homes, those kittens now have a chance at a different future.

That’s what rescue is all about. People stepping up and doing what they can.

Back at the sanctuary, our four pigs had their routine hoof care, the farrier made his rounds, and hay was delivered thanks to the generosity of our financial supporters.

Our incredible partner Walmart also made it possible for us to distribute pallets of horse feed, cat food, and litter to people caring for animals in our communities.

This is especially close to our hearts. Sometimes rescue isn’t about finding an animal a new home. Sometimes it’s about helping an animal keep the home it already has. ❤️

And then there’s our beloved Sterling. What we initially believed was asthma or COPD turned out to be a serious airway problem requiring surgery. He’s still hospitalized, and we’re anxiously awaiting the day he can come home. Please keep our beautiful boy in your prayers. 🙏🐴

There have been heartbreaking losses, too. Not every story ends the way we hope.

And perhaps one of the hardest realities of rescue is knowing there are more animals needing help than there are homes willing to take them. We’re a foster-based rescue, and when our foster homes are full, sometimes we have no choice but to say no.

But there has been so much GOOD!

Beautiful adoptions, happy families, and animals beginning entirely new chapters. We’ve been so busy that we didn’t even manage to photograph many of them!

And today, sweet Oscar finally boarded transport with Freedom Run Express to his forever home in Connecticut! After battling ringworm and waiting patiently for his opportunity, his new family is beyond excited to welcome him. ❤️

Through all of this, one thing remains clear.

Rescue isn’t just about the animals we bring into our care. It’s about preventing suffering, helping people find solutions, supporting those who are struggling, and giving animals a chance they might not otherwise have.

We cannot save them all. No rescue can.

But imagine how many more lives could be changed if everyone did just one small thing.

Foster. Adopt. Volunteer. Spay and neuter. Help a neighbor. Donate supplies. Or simply lend a hand when someone needs it.

You don’t have to save them all to change the world for one.

To our fosters, volunteers, veterinary partners, adopters, donors, and everyone who continues to believe in what we do—THANK YOU.

Every life touched is a reminder of why Storybook Rescues exists.

❤️🐾 Because every animal deserves someone who cares.

❤️ STORYBOOK TREE OF HOPE ❤️

Look at our tree! And more importantly, look at all those empty paw prints just waiting for a name! 🐾

We wanted to find a special way to recognize the people who make what we do at Storybook Rescues possible. Not just those who give once, but the wonderful people who support us month after month, year after year, the businesses that step up when we need help, and those who make donations in memory or honor of someone they love.

Every name on this tree represents someone who has made a difference in the life of an animal. Some of those animals needed medical care, some needed a safe place to land, some were tiny babies fighting to survive, and others simply needed someone to care enough to give them a chance.

And behind every one of those stories are people like YOU.

I wish everyone could see what we see. The animals that arrive frightened, hungry, sick, or completely helpless. The hours spent caring for them, the vet bills, the heartbreak, and thankfully, the wonderful moments when everything we’ve worked for finally comes together.

We could never do this without the people whose names are already hanging on those branches. And I can’t begin to tell you how grateful we are.

But take another look at our tree. See all those empty paws?

They’re waiting for YOU! ❤️

We aren’t asking you to give a certain amount. Every donation, regardless of size, helps us continue doing what we do. Whether you give once, every month, in memory of a beloved pet, or simply because you believe animals deserve a second chance, we’d love to add your name to our tree.

And as the donations come in, we’ll keep adding names and sharing our growing tree with everyone!

🐾 Help us fill those empty paws! There’s always room for one more on the Storybook Tree of Hope!

You can make a donation through our Giving Fund here:

http://paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/4257288

PLEASE be sure to include your name with your donation! We receive anonymous donations and have no way of knowing who to thank or whose name to add to the tree. If your donation comes through anonymously, please message us so we can recognize you!

If you prefer to mail a check, make it payable to Storybook Rescues and message us for our mailing address.

🎃🍂 DON’T THROW AWAY THOSE PUMPKINS AND STRAW! 🍂🎃

It’s fall festival season, and before long, all those wonderful scarecrows, pumpkins and bales of straw will be coming down.

But what happens to everything afterward?

What might be trash to someone else can be a treasure to an animal! ❤️

Straw makes wonderful bedding and helps keep outdoor animals warm and dry during the colder months. And chickens and pigs absolutely LOVE pumpkins!

I’m hoping some of you might have connections with pumpkin patches, fall festivals, churches, schools, businesses or anyone who puts on these wonderful autumn displays.

If you know someone who will have leftover straw, hay or pumpkins when their events are over, PLEASE reach out!

We could certainly put some of it to good use, and if there’s more than we can use, I would love to help connect it with other local farms, rescues and animal owners who could benefit.

Of course, everything needs to be clean, free of mold and safe for the animals.

Rather than filling dumpsters, let’s put some of that fall fun to work helping animals!

Please share this post! You never know who might have just the connection we’re looking for! 🐷🐓🐴❤️

OH. MY. KITTEN. 😻 Meet Walter & Whopper.

These two little guys are only about 6 weeks old, and yes… they really are this cute.

🤎 WALTER is the sweet, sensitive one. He is very cuddly once he feels safe, but he’s a little shy at first and needs a minute to decide you’re worthy of his affection. 😂 Walter is going to be perfect for a calm, patient person who will give him the time to settle in and then enjoy all the snuggles that follow.

💙 WHOPPER is… well… Whopper. 😂 He is INSANE, loving, attention-driven and absolutely convinced that the world revolves around him. He wants love, he wants attention, and preferably he wants it RIGHT NOW. Those bright blue eyes and that longer fluffy coat don’t exactly hurt his chances either. He is going to make somebody an absolutely wonderful, entertaining little companion.

They are still too little to be neutered, so it will be a few weeks before they are ready to go home.

BUT HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART…

Walter and Whopper are not the only ones.

Not even close.

We have LOTS of kittens. Lots. Different colors, personalities, ages and levels of kitten insanity. 😹

So if you have even been thinking about adding a kitten to your family, GET YOUR APPLICATION IN NOW.

An approved application does not obligate you to adopt anyone. It simply means that when you see the one and fall hopelessly in love, you’re already approved and ready.

Because please don’t get mad at us when somebody else gets the kitten you wanted because they already had an approved application on file! 😂

Our kittens go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed and with age-appropriate vaccines.

So go ahead… zoom in on those faces one more time.

And then fill out the application. 😻

Because Walter and Whopper are adorable—but trust me, we have plenty more where these came from.

This picture should be a greeting card.
But the story behind it is the stuff rescue nightmares are made of.

Look at those five little faces. Warm, safe, fat-bellied and piled on top of each other without a care in the world.

These are five of the bottle babies being raised by our infamous bottle feeder, Jerri. ❤️

They’re adorable.

They’re also five tiny examples of a problem that is completely out of control.

Right now, Storybook Rescues has 15 bottle babies and more than TWO DOZEN other kittens in our care.

And here I go, climbing back onto my soapbox…

PEOPLE, WE HAVE GOT TO SPAY AND NEUTER. PLEASE.

I am inundated with requests every single day. Kittens found under houses. Kittens dumped on roads. Pregnant cats. Nursing mothers. Litters in barns. Cats that “just showed up.” Cats people can no longer keep.

And we have reached the point where I cannot take in any more animals — EVEN WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO FOSTER THEM.

Why?

Because fostering is only the beginning.

Those babies eventually have to be vaccinated, dewormed, spayed or neutered, advertised, taken to adoption events, cared for week after week…and ultimately, they need somewhere to go.

And right now, adoptions are painfully slow.

Some bottle babies Jerri raised last spring only recently got adopted. Think about that. Tiny newborn kittens that required round-the-clock feeding grew up in our rescue and waited well over six months for homes.

Meanwhile, another litter arrives.

Then another.

Then another.

We are not running out of love.

We are running out of homes. Space. Fosters. Money. Hours in the day. And places for these animals to go.

So when you look at this beautiful little pile of kittens, please see more than an adorable Facebook picture.

See 15 bottle babies.

See two dozen-plus other kittens waiting behind them.

See rescuers who are exhausted and still answering the phone.

And please understand that rescue cannot fix this problem simply by taking in more animals.

The only way we ever get ahead of this is to prevent the next litter.

Spay your cats. Neuter your cats. Fix the barn cats. Fix the neighborhood cats. TNR the community cats. Help your neighbor get theirs fixed.

One unplanned litter may look like five precious babies curled together for a photograph.

But multiply that picture by the calls we receive every single day, and suddenly it isn’t cute anymore.

Spay. Neuter. TNR.
Please help us stop the next litter before it is born.

Was today’s adoption event successful?

We adopted ONE kitten.

And we saved EIGHT.

That probably sounds like terrible rescue math. 😂 We worked all day, packed everything up, came home exhausted, and somehow ended the day with seven MORE kittens than we started with.

But this is exactly why I don’t measure the success of these events by how many cats leave in carriers.

A huge part of rescue is networking. It’s meeting people. Educating people. Building relationships. Making people aware of what we do. Finding fosters, bottle feeders, adopters, donors, volunteers, and sometimes simply meeting the exact person you are going to desperately need a few hours later.

Today we met a woman who bottle feeds kittens.

Thank God we did.

Because after I left the event, one of our volunteers contacted me about THREE approximately two-week-old kittens she had found.

Then a family brought us FIVE kittens only about 3½ weeks old.

Eight tiny lives.

Every one of our regular bottle feeders said no.

And I don’t blame them one bit. They are exhausted. We are ALL exhausted.

Bottle feeding is around-the-clock work, and the people who do it over and over again are absolute warriors. There eventually comes a point where your body and your brain simply say, “I cannot take another one.”

But somehow, once again, the pieces came together. Our wonderful vet, Dr. Rachel, helped us find someone willing to take the five babies, and we found help for the others.

Sadly, I didn’t even get pictures of the eight kittens. We were too busy figuring out where they were going and making sure they were safe. The photos in this reel are simply moments from today’s event.

And honestly, that almost proves my point.

What you see at an adoption event is only one tiny piece of rescue.

So yes, only one kitten was adopted today.

But eight more kittens are alive tonight because people connected, talked, helped, shared resources, and figured it out.

That matters.

Could we adopt more kittens if we made them free or almost free?

Probably.

I’m not going to do that.

These animals have already depended on humans to save them once. I want to do everything I reasonably can to make sure their next home is the right home. I will never turn rescue into a numbers game just so we can say we had a bigger adoption day.

And here is the bigger problem we all keep dancing around:

WE CANNOT ADOPT OUR WAY OUT OF THIS.

There are simply too many kittens being born.

The only way we ever make a meaningful dent in this crisis is SPAY AND NEUTER.

That is why TNR matters.
That is why affordable veterinary care matters.
That is why education matters.
That is why networking matters.
And yes, as tired as we all are, that is why these darn events matter too. 😂

So was today successful?

One adoption.
Eight lives saved.
A whole bunch of conversations.
New connections made.
People educated.
And hopefully a few more people understanding what rescue actually looks like behind the cute kitten pictures.

I’ll take that as a win. ❤️

And now I’m going to sit down before somebody hands me another kitten. 😂
