I can't get over that adorable head tilt. It's the only sign of her CH and just makes Honey even more adorable. Reach out to find out more information and adopt Honey.

She's currently living with many dogs and cats.

Honey is being fostered for

This is Chester! I really think he would transition well into a home and while his colony is well-tended, I'd love to get him off the street. To do that, I need fosters! Please reach out if you would be interested in helping Chester or any other cats/kittens that come into the rescue.

We're looking for foster homes so that we can help more animals. We get requests every day and would love to be able to say yes. Vet care is provided by the rescue and any supplies you may need. Please reach out if you can foster. Cats are our biggest need right now, but I can also use a dog foster.

Probably a bad call to have the sweetest cat ever live in Em's room for a while. I keep reminding her that they both have move-out by dates. 😂

Cat Dad even said that it's too bad we have too many cats already and you know that's saying something about this girl.

Honey gets spayed Monday and then will be ready to move to her permanent home.

I have 3 nice Styrofoam coolers for community cat shelters. Let me know if you want one!

Colony feeders - I have a ton of donated food. Let me know if you need any!

Fosters or adopters are needed for 3 spicy babies. Mom and the older siblings were TNR'ed this weekend, but we'd love to give these babies a chance for homes. Please let us know if you are interested in fostering or adopting.

Two more cats out of the breeding game! These gorgeous babes will be heading to Atlanta Humane Society in the morning for TNR.

Making up some trapping kits and thought I'd share how we use the items:
Zip-ties and carabiners - secure traps so we don't lose a cat away from it's home base
Paper bowls/food - trapping enticement and feeding while in recovery
Plastic silverware - attempting to keep hands clean while sleeping with stinky bait 😂 or feeding colonies
Sharpie/tape - identifying animals in traps so they aren't mixed up during big TNR days
Can opener - we'll take all donated food/bait - no pop-tab needed

Look at this sweetie! FIV+ cats can live with FIV- negative cats.

***ADOPTION PENDING***
Poor, sweet Frank is sad. We’ve posted him at least a dozen times over the past few months and he’s never received a single adoption application. Can you please help him find his happily-ever-after by sharing this post?

Frank is a special kitty who needs a special home. This handsome, blue-eyed boy (who is NOT deaf, by the way) is about two years old. He came to us from one of the most overcrowded shelters in metro Atlanta. The staff reached out to us because Frank was in dire need of both medical treatment and TLC. He was filthy, flea-ridden and had what at first appeared to be a large mass inside his mouth. His mouth was gaping open, making it difficult for him to eat and he was pretty miserable. After closer examination, our vet determined that Frank’s problem was actually not a mass but a degloving injury where his bottom lip had somehow been peeled away from his gums. The injury was surgically repaired and Frank is looking and feeling much better now.

Frank has one other medical issue that seems like a big deal but it’s really not. He tested positive for FIV. This article from the Cornell Veterinary School explains more about FIV: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv. Frank is quite healthy overall and he very well may live a normal lifespan. He is a magnificent boy and we are hoping that someone will see past his slightly imperfect features and appreciate the many wonderful qualities he exhibits. Frank is one of the most mellow cats we’ve ever cared for. He is relaxed and easygoing and highly social. He isn’t phased by dogs, large or small. We have not exposed him to other kitties yet but he would likely get along with other cats just fine. Frank is an incredible boy and someone is going to enjoy his company so much.

You can apply to adopt Frank at the link in the comments below. Please share this post if you cannot adopt him yourself. Let’s get this awesome kitty the forever home he deserves. 💙

Gomez is enjoying a nice catnap in the sun

10/24/2024

Gomez loves to be in the middle of everything his foster family are doing! Even when that is showering 😃 He's ready to find his own family with another cat friend. Gomez also gets along well with dogs in his foster home. He's neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and litter-box trained. For more information, please message us.

The water-loving boys were at it again this morning. Pugsley even fell in the shower at one point this morning. They are clean and ready for their new homes! PM for more information.

10/06/2024

Aunt Fester is enjoying the new window view, but she'd love her own window! Message us for information on adopting her.

Wednesday and Pugsley are the sweetest siblings! Both are fun-loving and cuddly sweethearts that will keep you laughing. PM for more information and to adopt these cuties!

Gomez and Aunt Fester would love to come live with you for a long time!

Did you know that black cats are generally healthier than other cats, and may actually live longer? In the early 2000’s, Scientists at the National Institutes of Health discovered that the genetic mutations that give black cats their black fur also protects them from certain diseases, like feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). This doesn’t mean mew shouldn’t take precautions around cats with FIV, though. While the rates of contraction are considerably lower than with their lighter cousins, black cats can still get it.
