NESTA is over here wondering why she's still waiting in her foster home.

This sweet young lady is about ~7 months of pure tortie delight (and a little sass 😉). She loves attention and playing with toys. She's also fully vetted!

We know her perfect family is out there! Is it you?

I know it's been quiet here on our social media (we're sorry) but it's been BUSY at Tiny Paws HQ.

Adoptions, new Instagram, event planning...
Lots of share soon.

Right now, this is your reminder that Hail Mary is the last of her group to be waiting on a home! This sweet lady is not a tiny kitten, but at around 5 months she has so much energy and love to give!

See her, and everyone else looking for a home, at tinypawsrva.org/available

Meet Salem!

The sweetest little boy was found all alone in a parking lot. 😭 Thankfully, whoever found him brought him to a vet's office, who then contacted another rescue. That rescue doesn't handle bottle babies, so they reached out to us.

So far, Salem is cute and LOUD. He was so mad about the bottle the first few times I offered it, but he finally made the connection that the bottle had nice, warm formula. Ever since then, he's been a fan. 😂

We've checked the location he was found multiple times, as well as let the surrounding business owners know to keep an eye out, but no other siblings or a mom have been found. I hate not knowing what happened to them and if they are safe, but I'm glad Salem is here with us. He'll be available in a couple months.

Welcome to the good life, little one! We're glad you're here! 💙

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Black cats are often associated with bad luck and witchcraft, but around here we love them!

One of my personal cats is a gorgeous black cat, and she's amazing. It's like having a sleek mini panther living in your house!

Are you a fan of black cats? Are you looking to adopt one? Hughes (m), Artemis (f), and Apollo (m) are all looking for homes! You can see more about them and apply at tinypawsrva.org/available

Remember Digit, our little girl with the foot injury?

She's doing AMAZING! After draining the infection, lots of antibiotics, and X-rays, we're happy to say she's doing great! Our vet confirmed she's healing beautifully, and while there's not much toe left, she'll be able to keep the little bit that's still there. She has the tiniest nub or a toe bean and she's lost the tissue and skin on the side of her paw, but that doesn't stop her. She runs and plays hard!

Digit and her sisters aren't available yet, but we wanted to let everyone know how she was doing, especially after everyone helped raise funds for her care! 🩷

🐾 Available for Adoption 🐾
Richmond, VA

🐱Benedict and Mitzi are looking for a home TOGETHER!

Benedict was left on a college campus alone after his mom and sister were TNR'd. Mitzi was found all by herself.

Both of these kittens were shy orphans, but when we put them together, they started to blossom! 🩷

🐈🐈‍⬛Benedict and Mitzi are a perfect pair! They both love to play, and they play hard! They will run and leap, followed by wrestling matches. When they're finally tired out, they love to snuggle up together in a comfy bed or a warm lap to snooze. Mitzi will often be found grooming her brother. Mitzi is a sassy, big personality in a tiny package. Benny is a big boy who is a huge baby at heart, and can be a little shy at first. When he's warmed up to you, he'll talk to you as he waits for his meals! We are looking for a more chill home with no young children, as these guys can get a little overwhelmed in a busy space.

❗While they aren't related, they are best friends, and truly bonded, and must be adopted together!

🐾All Tiny Paws RVA kittens are treated for fleas and parasites, tested for FIV/FELV, receive age appropriate vaccines, and are fixed before going home.
-Kittens must be indoor only and keep their claws.

Last week we not only welcomed our office litter and our group of 3, but we also welcomed this litter! 🐱

🪡 Meet the Sewing Notions Litter! 🧵

Bobbin, Button, Thimble, Ribbon, & Zipper came to us from an overcrowded shelter. Kittens this small are at huge risk of picking up something nasty from a shelter, so we pulled them as fast as we could!

This group is already becoming fast friends with their foster mom, and they're doing great. 🧡

Before anyone asks...
-Don't ask me who is who. 😂
-They have colored collars for their foster mom but by photo it's almost impossible to tell everyone apart... Except for Thimble. I'll let you guess which one he is. 😉
-Ribbon is the only girl, everyone else is a boy
-No one is available and we're not focused on adoption at this time.

Welcome to the good life, little ones! We're glad you're here! 🧡

Meet Phyllis and her adorable office crew!

A friend messaged me a few weeks ago. The homeless cat that kept showing up was now a permanent part of their family... And so were her unexpected kittens!

Phyllis is most likely not even a year old, but she's been a great mom so far! And her little crew is growing beautifully!

We were happy to have the kittens join the tiny paws fam so that when the time comes everyone will be vetted and find great homes. ☺️
In a month or so, everyone will be looking for homes, and Phyllis will never have to have more babies again!
Her kittens are Angela (tortie), Dwight (flame point), Oscar (seal point), Stanley (black), & Toby (orange).

Welcome to the good life, little ones! We're glad you're here! 🩷

*No one is available, and we don't pre adopt. Trying to claim a kitten now is icky. 😉*

You met Digit last week, but we failed to introduce you to her friends!

🐈‍⬛So meet Digit (again) and her sister, Bridget! And then meet Dottie, who we think is a cousin/half sister/relative of some kind. Everyone is from the same property, but it's definitely 2 different litters. Digit and Bridget are about 6/7 weeks old and Dottie is most likely 5/6 weeks old.

They started out in a playpen for the weekend, but today I (once again, sigh) gave up my full bathroom and moved them into it. They're already loving having space to run!

🩺As for Digit, she saw Dr Jones on Friday and got hooked up with some antibiotics and pain meds. She goes back to the vet Tuesday to have her foot X-rayed. He'll be performing surgery, but we won't know the extent until the X-rays are done.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who sent us a little something to help cover vet costs. I appreciate you supporting us more than I can say!

Welcome to the good life, little girls! We're glad you're here! 🧡

‼️ our newest kitten needs your help ‼️

Meet Digit!
(You'll meet her 2 sisters later)

Our favorite shelter partner, Beth, over at southernwelfareanimalgroup , messaged me earlier this week about a few kittens she needed us to take, one of whom had a foot injury of unknown causes.

In a surprise to absolutely no one, I said yes. 😂

During the week she sent me photos of the foot, I gave her some guidance on what to do, and today I met her to pick up the kittens.

(Warning: If you don't want to read gross things, skip the next section between the cat emojis! You've been warned)

🐱🐱🐱🚨🚨🚨🐱🐱🐱

I knew it was going to be a little bad, but it was worse than we expected. As I was looking at her toe and gently trying to figure out what happened, I accidentally pulled the scab off... And the nail and a small part of the bone came with it.

Thankfully, Digit is very sweet and was mostly annoyed, but very calm, during my mild moment of gross out.

As we were cleaning up her foot, we also realized that she has some exposed bone. Injuries like this can affect their whole leg, as well as create a huge risk for infection.

(📷 If you're that weird person who likes to see photos, there's a few photos at the end. Don't say we didn't warn you).

The good news is that the skin is healthy and pink and there's no sign of infection. She's also not messing with it, and she'll put weight on it. All good things!

However, this is a situation that could easily go downhill quickly.

🐱🐱🐱🚨🚨🚨🐱🐱🐱

Squeamish people, you can start reading again!

Tomorrow, Digit will go visit our favorite person, Dr. Jones, to get her started on medications and her a game plan formulated.

Of course, my love for taking in little broken kittens also means they come with a cost. We don't know what those costs will be, but if it comes to it we'd like to be prepared.

❤️‍🩹If you're able to help us make sure we can cover this situation (and maybe start to prepare for whatever Beth calls me with next), we can use your help!

Head over to TinyPawsRVA.org/donate to send us something over Venmo or PayPal to help us!

Welcome to the good life, little girl! We got you. 🩷
