Welcome to the cat house Rosemary 🖤

This sweet girl came to us yesterday from one of the trailer parks we do a lot of TNR at. She is skin and bones, has an upper respiratory infection, leg wound and a horrible infection in her mouth. She will need dental care but for now our goal is to get her feeling better with antibiotics and fluids. If you’re able to donate towards her vet care we would appreciate it!

Welcome to the cat house Billie!

We were contacted by her caretaker at the end of September with concerns about her being pregnant and living outdoors. Unfortunately, she went into labor shortly after arriving and none of her kittens survived. She is around 2 years old and would do best in a home with no dogs. She is the sweetest girl and we would love to help her find a loving forever home!

Last night our goal was to only trap one cat for a TNR appointment. We ended up leaving with 6 new additions to the cat house. When we first arrived we noticed two little kittens running around the property. While trying to catch them we heard newborn kittens meowing under the deck. After crawling through a tiny access hole to get the kittens and patiently waiting for mom to go in the trap we successfully got them all!

We received a message from the caretaker at one of our TNR locations this weekend asking for help. She stated last week she noticed a gal on a bicycle with a cat in a tiny metal kennel. When she saw the condition of the cat and the kennel she approached the gal and asked if she’d be willing to surrender the cat. The gal said no. On Saturday the gal showed up again with the same cat plus a kitten crammed into the tiny kennel. Thankfully this time she left the cats with the caretaker! Both kitties are super sweet and we gladly welcomed them into our care! Also a huge thank you goes to Shelley for helping them!

Luna was transferred to us from another rescue a few weeks ago and since then she has really come out of her shell! She’s very talkative, affectionate and loves every cat she meets! She will want another feline friend in her new home to cuddle with. She would be best with no dogs or young children. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting this beautiful girl please apply through Happy Tales Ranch and Rescue.
