👑❤️ A Royal Proclamation from the Throne! ❤️👑

Good afternoon, loyal subjects!

Her Majesty, The Queen of Hearts, has made her decree — and it is most urgent! The royal pantry has fallen bare of the only cuisine worthy of a growing monarch: Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Wet Food. A tragedy of the highest order!

A queen must maintain her strength (and her round, regal belly), and therefore her humble servant has been commanded to replenish the royal pâté at once… lest there be consequences. Off with her head? Let us hope it does not come to that!

For those devoted subjects afar who wish to remain in Her Majesty’s good graces, tribute may be sent through the Royal Wishlist. Your generous offerings of premium pâté shall ensure peace throughout the kingdom and keep the royal litter thriving.

May your kindness spare the servant and fill the royal bowls once more.

With dramatic flair and whiskered authority,
👑 The Queen of Hearts ❤️🐾

❣️ New Intakes ❣️

Momma and three tiny kittens — approximately 3 weeks old — are now safe in foster care! 💕

This little family was put up for adoption because their owner could no longer house them. But kittens this young must remain with their mother until at least 8 weeks of age to ensure proper nutrition, social development, and overall health. So we swooped in to keep this family together and safe. 🐾

✨ Welcome our Manx family! ✨
That’s right — not a tail in sight!

We have:
• 🩵 Two male kittens
• 🩷 One female kitten

Momma is tiny, sweet, and doing an incredible job caring for her babies. She’s attentive, calm, and already melting hearts in foster.

We’re so grateful we were able to step in for this special little family. Stay tuned for updates as these tailless cuties grow! 🐱💛

(As always, donations from our wishlist to help with food, litter, and veterinary care are deeply appreciated — three growing kittens eat a LOT! 🍼✨)

🌟 NAME REVEAL 🌟

Our precious new litter officially has names!! 🥰
Momma arrived with the name Alice, so an Alice in Wonderland theme felt absolutely perfect.

✨ Meet: Queen of Hearts, Cheshire, Mad Hatter, TweedleDee, and TweedleDum

The kittens’ upper respiratory infections are healing quickly, and they’re all starting to feel so much better 💪
However, we did get some tough news about sweet TweedleDum. Once the swelling in his eyes finally went down, we discovered significant corneal ulcers underneath. He had been sick for quite some time before coming into our care, and unfortunately that caused severe damage to the surface of his eyes.

We got him in to see our vet right away, and he’s now on additional medications to treat the ulcers and support healing. While we’re not fully out of the woods yet when it comes to his vision, we are still hopeful for a good recovery and are giving him all the care and love he needs 💙

Please send some extra love and good vibes to these little Wonderland cuties—especially brave TweedleDum! 🐾✨

And a huge shoutout to Georgia S. and her kitty Curie, for donating blood so we could get serum! Blood serum from a donor cat is an effective treatment for corneal ulcers, and we greatly appreciate those two!

We would like to make an appreciation post to our two amazing foster homes in Cincinnati that make everything we do possible! Colleen Colson and Trisha G. are the hearts that hold our amazing cats until they can find their forever homes. These are the only fosters we have currently, and we couldn’t do it without them! Due to our size at the moment, we are not looking for new fosters, but appreciate everyone who wants to open their homes to kittens in need!

✨ Update on Our Sick Kittens ✨

The kittens are hanging in there! 💪🐱 These poor babies hadn’t known a full belly in a long time—when they arrived, their little abdomens were completely flat. After just 24 hours in foster, each kitten has gained 1–2 ounces, and their bellies are finally starting to fill out in that classic, pudgy kitten way 🥹💕

Momma is doing wonderfully as well! She’s happily chowing down on kitten food and soaking up some well-earned rest. She is incredibly sweet and sits patiently nearby while the kittens are bottle-fed—watching closely, trusting us, and clearly understanding that we’re helping her babies. 💛

With lots of TLC and proper medications, the kittens’ eyes have shown huge improvement! Two of them are now opening their eyes and seeing. The last baby’s eye is still swollen closed, but it is improving slowly. We are very hopeful that all of the kittens will retain their eyesight 🤞✨

Please continue to send good vibes our way as we help these little fighters catch up and grow strong 💕

⚜️ Meet Vergil ⚜️

Vergil is a gentle, affectionate young cat who was found abandoned behind a hospital. At first, he was understandably scared and unsure of the world—but with patience and kindness, he’s learned how wonderful love can be. 💛

Vergil may take a few days to trust new people, but once you earn his heart, you’re in for something truly special. He becomes an absolute cuddle bug—purring nonstop, weaving between your legs, and proudly making all the biscuits. 🐾🍞

Vergil’s details:
🐱 Male, 8 months old
💕 Sweet, loving, and deeply loyal once bonded
🏡 Will thrive best in a quiet, calm home
😌 A soft soul who just needs a little patience

Vergil is ready for a home of his own—one that understands that the best relationships are built on trust and time. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will choose you as his person, Vergil might be your perfect match. ⚜️💙

All kittens have the following completed prior to adoption:
✅ Spayed/Neutered
✅ Microchipped
✅ Up to date on Vaccines
✅ Dewormed
✅ Treated for fleas/ticks/earmites
✅ Combo tested

🐰 Meet Hopper 🐰

Hopper was rescued from the bitter cold last weekend, found shivering in below-zero temperatures. 💔 Thankfully, she’s now safe, warm, and ready for her next chapter!

Hopper is a sweet, loving Manx kitten with a playful little hop to match her name. She’s friendly, spry, and already soaking up all the love she can get. 🐾
She is currently underweight but doing great now that she has consistent meals and a cozy place to rest—she’s well on her way to gaining strength and confidence!

Hopper’s details:
🐱 Female Manx kitten
📅 Estimated 6–7 months old
💕 Affectionate, friendly, and playful
❄️ Survivor of the cold, ready for a lifetime of warmth

Hopper is looking for a family who will love her fiercely and keep her warm forever. If you’re ready to open your heart (and your blankets) to this resilient girl, Hopper might be your perfect match. 🧡

🚨 Urgent Intakes – Please Send Well Wishes 🚨

These sweet kittens came to us in very rough shape. They were born to a mother who is still a baby herself—only 7 months old. This poor young mom is severely malnourished; her hips and ribs are visible, and she has been trying to nurse six kittens while still growing herself. She gave them everything she had… and it’s taken a heartbreaking toll.

The kittens are emaciated, about a qurter to half the size they should be for their age, and very sick. They are suffering from severe upper respiratory infections, with eyes crusted shut and little bodies struggling to keep up. 😔

As we arrived to pick up this family, we were devastated to learn that one kitten had already passed. Our hearts are broken. We are grieving that loss—but now our focus must be on doing everything possible to keep the remaining kittens alive.

These kittens will require medications, warmth, close monitoring, and supplemental bottle-feeding to give them the nutrition and strength they desperately need.

🙏 If you would like to help support the kittens’ recovery, monetary donations are deeply appreciated. Additionally, we will need Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) and Royal Canin Mother & Babycat wet food—both of which can be expensive and will go quickly with five kittens and mom. These items can be purchased directly from our wishlist ❤️

🎄 Adopt Charlie Brown 🎄

* Adopted*

Our little snow survivor is ready for a home of his own! We are accepting applications for the most precious little kitten there ever was 😻

Charlie Brown was found in December frozen to a driveway. His finders did the best they could to keep him alive until they found him the help he needed. Charlie was hypothermic and hypoglycemic, but our amazing foster was able to save his life! He was sick with an upper respiratory infection and had parasites. His beginning was rough and we were sure he would make it this far, and now that he is thriving he needs a family that will love him 🫶🏻

Charlie would love a home with another young cat/kitten to befriend! He is good with dogs, and prefers a quieter home.

All kittens have the following completed prior to adoption:
✅ Spayed/Neutered
✅ Microchipped
✅ Up to date on Vaccines
✅ Dewormed
✅ Treated for fleas/ticks/earmites
✅ Combo tested, if old enough

Charlie’s foster home is located in Hamilton OH. If interested please DM to submit an application!

💙 Good Vibes Needed for Merry 💙

Please send some love and healing thoughts to our sweet boy Merry! 🐾
Merry is dealing with a complication from his neuter, and unfortunately the surgical site has become infected. He has a vet appointment this afternoon to determine the best treatment plan and get him feeling better as soon as possible.

Despite everything, Merry is being incredibly brave—you’d hardly know anything was wrong by how loudly he purrs and how sweet he is. 🥹💙

If you’re able and would like to help support Merry and cover the cost of his vet visit and treatment, donations are deeply appreciated and go directly toward his care.

Thank you all so much for loving and supporting our kittens—it truly means the world to us and to Merry. 🐱✨
