On a hot summer day, not long ago, a stray cat was hit by a car…a common story in South Texas. Three days later her 6 orphaned babies, only 2-3 weeks old, crawled out from under a shed crying desperately for help! The kind homeowner scooped them up and brought them in to safety. They gave them food for their empty bellies and reached out to the local kitty orphanages (aka local rescues)…because these babies needed help!

We didn’t really have the space for 6 babies that age…but we are suckers for little orphans and planned to make it work since the report from the finder was that they were eating wet food. Upon intake it quickly became apparent that they needed to be bottle fed…and 6 bottle babies is a lot to take on! We had needed to hold a mama from another litter for an injury, and she took it upon herself to move in with these little orphans. Miss Masque was an amazing mom to her babies, and apparently, she decided she wasn’t done mothering quite yet.

Between mama and bottle feeds 3 times a day these little orphans are thriving in the orphanage! Meet Pip, Peter Pan, Oliver Twist, Heidi, Cosette, and Anne (of Green Gables)…The Orphan Library! We cant wait to read more about their adventures.

Time for some cat rescue Q & A!

Q: I have an indoor cat that never goes outside. Do I still need to get it fixed?

A: Yes, yes, yes…a thousand times YES. Female cats as young as four months old can go into heat. Once they begin their heat cycles they can mate and become pregnant. It happens really early, so your kitten could literally end up having kittens! Kittens having kittens is dangerous, and our rescue has seen very serious complications from this.

Female heat cycles can also become very annoying for the cat’s owner. The female cat will be VERY vocal, obnoxious around other pets, and often she will do absolutely anything she can to try and get outside to mate (we have even heard stories of cats breaking out of screened in windows and patios). Their biological instinct to mate is very strong, but spay surgery reduces your female cat’s desire to roam in search of a mate.

Another reason to spay a female is for health reasons. Spay surgery reduces the cat’s chance of pyometra (infection in the uterus), mammary cancer and urinary tract infections. All of these things can be very serious health complications and even fatal.

An unneutered male cat is even MORE obnoxious. Unfixed male cats spray or urine mark their territory (which is very smelly!) They also have a tendency to fight other cats over territory and females, and roam. Neutering a male cat tends to have very positive effects. The cat’s disposition typically becomes much friendlier and more calm. Neutering also reduces the cat’s chances of testicular cancer and other disease.

If you feed any outdoor cats and they are not fixed we highly recommend making arrangements to get them fixed at a local low-coat spay/neuter clinic. And if your indoor cat is not fixed because you think it’s not that big a deal, PLEASE reconsider. Spaying and neutering is the only way to prevent cat overpopulation and suffering, and it is the kindest thing you can do for the animals you care for. ❤️🐾

Most of the time one, if not all three, of the resources below offer low to no cost discounts due to grants for spay/neuter/TNR. Here are a few of our local groups links.

After a few unexpected detours, this little crew has officially reached their final destination… GRADUATION DAY! 🎓

Tollway, Turnpike, Freeway, and their little detour buddy, Roundabout, have come a long way since we first introduced them.

These four started their journey together, and while we had plans to keep them all on the same road, Roundabout had a little unexpected pit stop along the way. He is being held back from this graduation since he is still being treated for ringworm and finishing his quarantine.

All three have made it through their milestone—and now they’re ready for the biggest milestone of all…. finding their furrever homes!

We’re so proud of how far these little travelers have come. What started as a journey with their mom turned into an unexpected four-kitten adventure, complete with a few a detours, but plenty of fun and adventurous pit stops along the way.

If you would like to meet or adopt either Tollway, Turnpike, or Freeway please email the Cattery at:

Warm welcomes to the newest family in our rescue, meet Momma Wisteria and her four little girls: Honeysuckle, Moonflower, Bougainvillea, and Jessemine!

Sometimes the sweetest little families are found in the most unexpected places. This beautiful momma and her four kittens were discovered living underneath a local restaurant, where they had been doing their best to stay safe and survive on their own.

A kindhearted lady noticed the little family and knew they needed help. She had not seen them there in prior days so our guess is that the momma and her babies were most likely dumped. Being that momma is so friendly and her kittens are just as sweet they probably were being cared for. It’s an all to common issue we see every year.

We heard through the kitten vine that these four little twisted sisters are as sweet as can be! The entire family have adjusted well in foster care. They will only be with us long enough to treat them for fleas, deworm them, and give them their first vaccines.

We are very grateful to the person who saw them and cared enough to ask for help. 🥰

🍀Meet the Lucky Charmers🍀

These four handsome little guys are about 5 weeks old and have already had quite the adventure. Wishbone, Buddha, Seven and Fortune were living in a fire pit in a kind woman’s backyard. She had been watching over them, but became increasingly worried that the neighborhood tom cats might hurt or even kill them. So, she reached out to our rescue and asked if we could give these babies a safer place to grow up.

They were in luck! One of our fosters that loves to teach little kittens how to socialize and become fun loving cuddle companions had just taken in her previous fosters that had graduated over the weekend to the Cattery so she could make room for a new group. We are only a small group of fosters and just like all other rescues are currently full but we try our hardest to make room as quickly as possible for new kittens and to help our community.

Our work with this family isn’t finished yet. We’ll be heading back soon to help spay their momma and another female from her first litter, so hopefully they can rest easier not having to worry about kitten season anymore.

For now, these boys get to forget about fire pits, tom cats, and the dangers of outdoor life. They’re going to be going through our foster program where we de-flea, deworm, and de-soot these babies. We will keep you posted on their progress.

New Momma & Babies! 🐾🐾

08/20/2026

Well it’s official, Metaphor and Alliteration have graduated foster care and we couldn’t be more happy for these two!

Meta and Alli have been with us since birth and if you have been following their story then you will remember that originally there were 5 other siblings that did not make it. Meta and Alli went through so much together for the first few weeks of their lives but since have only continued to thrive. They brought so much joy to all their fosters and they are truly just the sweetest most cuddly playful kittens. They also take some of the cutest photos together. 🥰

We would love to see them both adopted together as a pair so claws crossed it will happen! Either way we know both Meta and/or Alli would make a purfect addition to someone’s family and home.

If you are considering adopting either Alli or Meta… or both… and would like to meet them please reach out to the Cattery at:
