Mama Taco says, "I spy with my little eye someone having their dinner..."

Mama Taco's foster cat room recently lost its a/c which meant that she had to join the main floor resident kitties for the week while it was being replaced. You would never know she hadn't been there all along! She gets along with the other cats like she's one of the family. She loves all the many people in and out of the house (including the repairmen!) and she never tries to go outside. She even switched to using the house litter box and eating from the residents' bowls like it was no biggie. She is such a wonderful, easy-to-get-along with cat who is going to make someone such a great pet! Apply to adopt today! www.cvrrescue.org

Yesterday we picked these two sweet boys up from Charlotte County after Southern Welfare Animal Group reached out to see if we could help.
They arrived at their new foster home last night following a hot and probably stressful and confusing day.
After a little decompressing, meeting new and unfamiliar faces and smells, their new foster mom reports they are settling in quite nicely.
That’s the magic of a foster home. For animals uprooted from their homes and the people who protected them, a foster home provides comfort and safety and can limit the trauma and stress.
For animals coming from a shelter environment it gives them the chance to decompress in a calm and loving environment. Sometimes to learn to trust again, and learn manners. No matter where they come from it’s a safe loving space and somehow they feel that.
Copper is a 1 year old chihuahua mix and as sweet and sweet can be.
The little puppy is his son and didn’t come with a name, but we have decided on Hopper. Because on day 2 in his foster home that is what he has done. Hop around!

These two are not available yet, but will be in the coming weeks. Make sure to follow their journey along with us as we learn more about them and get to know their personalities in order to find their forever home.

While crating a dog may not work for all rescue dogs, to most it can be a safe haven and a place to decompress and rest.
Don’t believe us, ask Cesar Millan.

Let's get FIXED AND FABULOUS 🏥

Greetings fellow TNR Community Cat Supporters! ♥️

If we are to get ahead of the spring kitten tsunami, we need to spay and neuter now. Our goal for our new campaign, Fixed and Fabulous, is 324 community cats spayed or neutered by the last day in 2026. The cost for that is around $20,000.

If you say it fast, it's less scary 😂

We're going to do this like we'd eat an elephant: one bite (or one cat) at a time. There are three tiers of "surgical" sponsorship:

- "The Full Monty" $60: spay/neuter plus an eartip 🥰

- "Solo G***d" $30: one testicle or one o***y 😬

- "Badge of Honor" $10: ear tip

How to sponsor? Easy 🙂 Comment below with your "tier" of choice. We'll follow up with Paypal and Venmo links (PLEASE MAKE SURE you select TNR from the pulldown or type "TNR Fixed and Fab" in the "what's this for" box). Let us know if you need to pay by check or cash. 🙂

We'll provide an update each week with how many surgeries you've covered together with pictures from the latest TNR project. We promise you interviews with trappers and caretakers plus cute photos of adult cats now because we'll have fewer photos of sick kittens later. We may even yodel your name when we release them from their traps 😂 There will be SWEEPSTAKE SPONSOR PRIZES, too ❤

We know you have our backs ♥️ Let's try and snip at least ninety community cats by the end of September...

If you would be so kind as to *please tag* our campaign leader Bunny Goodjohn in your shared post, she can make sure you and your friends and neighbors receive proper thanks for your kind donations for our cat friends ❤️‍🩹🐈‍⬛

Our Fosters are literally our lifeline.

CVRR is volunteer run. This means ALL donations go directly to help save animals.
It also means without volunteers we can’t do what we do and fulfill our mission.

We take in animals from counties all around Central Virginia and beyond, but Foster homes must be available. Foster provide a safe warm bed for them, in a home where they can decompress.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a foster we would love to talk to you. We can answer your questions and walk you through the process. It all starts with an application

https://www.cvrrescue.org/foster-application/

If you would like to speak to someone first and want more information please send an email to [email protected] or drop us a line in our DMs. We will get back to you.

What CVRR provides:
*vet care
* food
* flea and tick prevention
* heart worm prevention
* bowls
* crate and bed
* toys
* leashes and collars/harness
*cat litter
*brushes, combs, sprays and shampoos
And support if/when you have questions.

You provide the home and a safe space.

❤️

As the today comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that today is 🌈 Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. A day to take a moment and remember the beloved pets we have lost, and will always hold a place in our hearts.
So many of us share the heartbreak and grief of losing a pet, and no matter how long it has been, the paw print they left on our hearts will be there forever.
As a rescue, we sometimes have to say goodbye more often than we'd like, but we always try to make sure any animal in our care crosses The Rainbow Bridge with someone who loved and cared for them, even if for a brief moment in time.

Author Deborah Barnes started Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day to give all pet-lovers a day to share memories of beloved pets that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are waiting for us there.

If you'd like to share a memory and a photo in the comments below about your fur baby, we hope you're will.

We will be at the forestfarmersmarket this Saturday, August 29. Come by our booth and have a cuddle with our kittens, and maybe adopt one (or two)!

Our booth is the last one furthest from
the library.

Also- we’d like to give a shout out and thank you to our fabulous volunteer Edie. She is there every week from 8am -12 pm and one of our fosters!
As a volunteer organization we could not do it without people like her and the many others behind the scenes.
Stop by and say 👋🏻 hello!
