It Black Cat Appreciation Day! We have many loving black cats in the rescue. Black cats get a bad rap and are many times the last adopted. What people don’t realize is that black cats have the best personalities and are so loving 💕

Temporary foster needed for one cat ASAP. Unsure of timeframe. Please see details below. If you can help, please notify us ASAP and we will get you in touch with the owner!

Currently living in a hotel provided by my job. I told my work that I had a cat and they said it was alright. I’m pretty sure they just updated the policy because they just announced that cats are not allowed. I have until sunday to get rid of the cat or I’ll be living in my truck. I’m hoping to just do temporary placement…just not too sure on how long. I’m trying to save up and find an apartment. community action has stated they will help once I get approved for a place. Just trying to find something open. She is a 1 year old black cat named lucy. She was born on 4/20/2024. Can anyone help?

It is fundraising time again!

Our washer and dryer are acting up, so the funds will be used to purchase a new set. I think this will be the 4th washer and 3rd dryer in my 8-1/2 years with the rescue…we work them hard lol.

It is double donation month for Pampered Chef, so if you want to help a great cause please take a look!

Thank you for your continued support!!

This post is a little delayed, but we are so happy to announce that Michael and Callie have been adopted together. Both have sad stories and finally have the happy endings they deserve 💕

TWO different humans failed Michael, and he is one of the most loving cats we have had in the rescue. Loving to people, I should say lol. He had issues with the other males in the rescue, so he had to be in his cage when we were not there. The adopters had decided on Callie but loved Michael as well and just couldn’t leave him behind. They decided to try both and we were hopeful it would go well. We figured since the current feline friend and Callie were both females, he would hopefully behave and have the best home in the world. He has, so I finally dare post this!

Callie’s previous owner passed away and no next of kin was found, so she came to us from the Rugby pound. She is a very loving girl and couldn’t get enough of lounging in her hammock. He and Callie are in heaven in their new home. They now have the two most loving humans, a new feline friend named Libby, a new doggy friend named Daisy, and a turtle friend named Thunder. The best part – all the animals are rescues! We couldn’t be happier for you Michael and Callie…enjoy your new life to the fullest!!!

Great info…all rescues are overloaded and we need to help the animals that are on the street and don’t have anyone to help them.

If you weren’t aware - Rescues and Shelters are in a crisis. Too many animals and nowhere for them to go. Adoptions and donations have decreased. Yet everyone wants us to take their animals for various reasons.

As a responsible pet owner please -
1. Spay/Neuter your pets. Quit breeding and contributing to the crisis.
2. Figure out a way to keep your pet instead of thinking rescues/shelters can take them at a moment's notice.

You would not believe the number of emails, messages and phone calls we have received within just the past 2 days asking to take people's animals. We can not take them all. We do not have the fosters or money readily available to do so.

Everyone wants us or someone to do something. YOU are someone that can do something. You can figure out a way to help an animal or keep your pet, your loved one's pet, an unclaimed stray that you have tried to find the owner for, etc. If you need ideas of how you can keep your animal, please reach out.

If you are absolutely unable to keep an animal and need to rehome it, please do so responsibly and don’t give them to just anyone. Do your best to ensure that any potential owner would be a safe, loving home that will provide medically, emotionally and physically for an animal. You can vet people just like we do.

1. Make sure the animal is spayed/neutered and vaccinated - this will ensure that someone will not use the animal for breeding contributing to the animal crisis.

2. Screen Potential Adopters - Take the time to interview potential adopters to ensure they are a good fit for your pet. Ask questions of anyone interested in your pet - Where will the animal be kept/live - inside? Outside? Do they have other pets or children? Are the children supervised around the animals? If a pet needs a fenced in yard - do they have one and what kind? If the animal requires medication or special food are they willing to continue that?
Etc.

3. Ask for a vet reference for anyone interested in your pet. Call their vet to see if they are responsible animal owners who will provide good veterinary care for the animal and have provided the same for their other pets.

4. Ask for personal references. This will help ensure they can provide a safe, loving home that can provide for a pet.

5. Do a home visit to see for yourself where the animal will live. This will help know if this is a safe home.

6. Ask for landlord information so you can make sure that pets are allowed in the rental.

7. Be honest about the animal you are rehoming to any people interested. Are there behavioral or medical issues?

*Anyone not wanting to provide any of this information to you to ensure a safe home for an animal should not be on the list of potential adopters*

WE ALL need to do something to put an end to this crisis. Not just rescues and shelters!

To help out your local rescue or shelter, please:
1. Donate
2. Foster
3. Adopt
4. Volunteer

Let’s work hard together to make a positive change!
