What do you do when you’re a mama with little ones on the street? Seek help from a samaritan, of course!

Ami found help by showing up at a kind stranger’s house with her 3 kittens in tow. There, they had found safety on his back porch, with food and a comfy box to lay in. The gentleman reached out to us, and a search for a foster home began!

Sadly, one of the kittens passed away before we were able to help. The other two - Mimi and Bibi - had upper respiratory infections, which are being treated with antibiotics, and they are doing well.

Ami, Mimi and Bibi are settled in their foster home and will be available for adoption in the future. Their story, like many others, underlines the necessity of foster homes. If you have ever considered fostering, now is the time - email us at [email protected] and we’ll provide the next steps!

It’s Fantastic News Friday! 🍾

Our gorgeous Ham Sandwich used his best charming skills to make his foster home a forever home! 🤭 Ham is living it up with his new siblings, Obe and Luna, and we couldn’t be happier for him!

A huge thank you to all of our dear fosters, adopters and supporters - you make our (and our kitties’) world go round 🌎

Callista and Luna need a new foster home! 🏡

Earlier this year we rescued Callista, who had just given birth, and Luna - the only one of her kittens to survive. A temporary foster home was instrumental to our ability to help, and we are forever grateful to one of our fosters who stepped up.

Now, the time has come for Callista and Luna to move again. Callista is a wonderful mom to her son (yes, Luna is a boy!), who sometimes needs just a little bit of extra help. Luna has Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or wobbly kitten syndrome.

Despite the lack of balance, Luna is living his best life - CH is non progressive, and does not significantly affect his quality of life or life expectancy!

Are you ready for a new adventure? Foster Callista and Luna, and help us save even more lives this kitten season! 📧 [email protected]

Looking for a dynamic duo to add some feline charm to your life? Eleanor and Miss Lizzy are the pair for you! These sweet sisters are ready to find their forever home together. 🏡

Eleanor, the brave and brainy one, is always up for an adventure and loves a good game of chase. Lizzy, the gentle soul, enjoys quieter play and loves to cuddle up next to her humans for a cozy snooze.

While they have their own unique personalities, these two share a special bond and would thrive in a home where they can continue to play and cuddle together. Could you be their happily ever after? Email [email protected]

They did it! Neve and Tippi have been adopted! This adorable and affectionate duo has found their forever home together.

From surviving on the streets to snuggling on a comfy couch, their journey has come full circle.

We hoped they'd get along when we paired Tiger Lily and Duffi in the same foster home. What we didn’t expect was that their best friend status would be unlocked.

Tiger Lily is a golden retriever in a cat body—ridiculously affectionate, always purring, always in your lap (or trying to be). She’s already squirming into a cuddle position if you blink too slowly.

Duffi is a cool, curious observer. She’s been bounced between foster homes through no fault of her own, but this time? She found her groove—and her bestie.

They’ve made it clear: they’re sticking together. They nap together. Play together. Supervise every human activity together. They’ve got a system, and they’re not looking to change it.

All these BFFs need now? A forever home—together. Interested in meeting them, email [email protected]

Our sweet bonded sisters, Miata and Patsy, are still hoping to find their forever family.

Miata is convinced your hand was made for back rubs and purrs louder than your vacuum cleaner. She will be the first to greet you and loves to lean in to be petted. Patsy might be a little more reserved at first, but this playful girl loves perfecting her ninja-like pounces on her wand toy and enjoys a good catnip cigar.

They come as a set – the snuggle bug and the stealthy hunter! Won't you give these entertaining sisters their forever stage? If you're looking for two wonderful companions who adore each other, email [email protected]

🚨 Kitten Season Alert! 🚨

We’re already getting multiple messages a day about kittens being found outside—so we thought it was a good time for a refresher on what to do (and not do) if you spot a litter of cuties:

🐾 Don’t scoop them up right away!
Most kittens aren’t abandoned—their mom is likely nearby. Watch for 8–12 hours to see if she returns. If they’re in danger (by a road, etc.), move them a short distance to a safer spot and monitor from a distance.

✨ Sprinkle flour near the kittens and check later for pawprints—Mom might be coming when you’re not looking.

🐱 Under 8 weeks = they need mom.
She feeds them, keeps them warm, and helps them go potty. Neonatal kittens need round-the-clock care—and no one does it better than mom.

🌧️ Bad weather or kittens look sick/injured?
Bring them in and reach out. They may need urgent help.

👀 Only see one?
There are probably more, or Mom is just in the middle of moving them.

⏰ 5–7 weeks is the best age to socialize outdoor kittens and get them ready for adoption.

💬 questions? Have you found kittens and are unsure what to do? Send us a message—we’ll help however we can!

📣 Share this post to help others know what to do if they find kittens!
