🐾 Happy Tail: Angel’s Second Chance 🐾
Angel’s story could have taken a heartbreaking turn—but thanks to fast action, compassion, and community, it didn’t.
We intercepted a landlord trying to give Angel and her babies away on social media. Thankfully, we were able to intervene just in time. All were brought into rescue, where they were safe, vetted, and gently socialized.

Angel can now look forward to a peaceful life—no more fear, no more instability. She’ll spend her days relaxing with her mama, not worrying about being handed off by someone who didn’t see her as family.

✨ A gentle reminder: Please respect your landlord’s policies. The cat overpopulation crisis is real, and it’s fueled in part by well-meaning individuals who don’t follow housing rules. Let’s work together to break the cycle and protect vulnerable animals like Angel.

How You Can Help:
Spaying and neutering is key to reducing overpopulation. You can support these efforts with a tax-deductible donation by visiting our donate page.

Thank you for being part of Angel’s rescue story—and part of our mission.

🚨 38-Cat Property Update 🚨
We’ve pulled as many kittens as we could from this large colony. There are still several nursing moms with litters on site. So far, 4 cats have been TNR’d, and 17 are headed to clinic today.

‼️ TRAP URGENTLY NEEDED ‼️
If you’ve borrowed a trap from us—please return it ASAP! Every single trap is in use, and we still have 20+ cats to trap and fix.

Managing nearly 40 cats (with multiple litters) is a massive, moving operation—and we need community support to keep going strong. Here’s how you can help:

🛻 Transport help (to clinics or foster homes)
🧼 Cleaning & feeding (on-site)
🧺 Supplies (kitten food, formula, litter)
💸 Donations (for medical care, food & supplies)
🏠 Fosters (especially for kittens or moms with babies)

Every small action makes a huge difference for these cats. Thank you for standing with us. 💛

📬 DM us or email [email protected] if you're able to help!

These kitties just met about an hour before this video was taken. We should be more like cats! Finn is grooming Banana and they are both available for adoption.

✨ Happy Tail: Tootsie Roll ✨
From Wild to Wonderful 💛
When Tootsie Roll first came to us, he was a wide-eyed fluffball with a wild heart. Life on the streets had left him cautious and curious—but underneath that scruffy mane and wary gaze, we saw a regal little soul just waiting to shine.

With time, patience, and lots of treats (he’s a big fan of Churus!), Tootsie Roll bloomed into a poised, majestic floof with a heart full of purrs. He traded his days of uncertainty for windowsill naps, feather wand chases, and quiet snuggles. He’s not just handsome—he’s elegant, thoughtful, and full of character.

Now living his best indoor life, Tootsie Roll rules his domain like a true tabby prince. He’s proof that even the wildest hearts can find peace, comfort, and a place to call home.

Tootsie Roll, you’ll always be our little street king turned velvet-pawed royalty. 🐾👑

In between TNR, kitten quarantines, and planning adoption events, we’re also caring for the cats still on their journey to adoption — like our charming little pirate, Kyle. 🏴‍☠️

Kyle has been squinting and winking his eye for weeks now. After multiple vet visits with no clear answers, it was time to see a specialist. Unfortunately, specialists aren’t cheap — their consultations can cost more than double a regular vet visit. And of course, the closest one isn’t close at all, so off we go on the Parkway… racking up tolls in the glorious state of “pay-to-drive-everywhere.” 😅

We’re committed to getting Kyle the answers and care he needs so he can eventually find his perfect forever home — but we could use a little help. If you’d like to chip in toward Kyle’s eye exam and care, we’d be so grateful. Every little bit brings him one step closer to feeling his best and ditching the pirate act for good. 🐾💛

🎉 Happy Tails: Clyde & Carolina 🐾

Sometimes, the universe has a plan far better than we could ever imagine.

Clyde came from the tough streets of Atlantic City, while Carolina was found deep in the quiet woods of Dorothy. Two very different backgrounds, two very different stories — but fate brought them together in rescue, and something special happened. 💕

These two formed a bond that couldn’t be ignored. They played together, napped curled up in the same bed, and comforted one another in a way only best friends can. It became pretty clear to all of us: they weren’t meant to be adopted apart.

And guess what? Their perfect family saw it too. Clyde and Carolina went home together — just like they were always meant to. 🏡💫

From the streets and the woods to soft beds, full bowls, and hearts full of love… Happy tails, sweet friends. You’ve got each other — forever. ❤️

🚨 UPDATE: 38-Cat Property – Out-of-Control Colony 🚨

Thanks to some generous donations, we’re making progress — but we’re not done yet. Every single cat on this property needs to be vetted, and we won’t stop until that happens. 🐾

We’ve secured a spot at an out-of-state clinic this Thursday, and we’ll be out there trap training and actively trapping over the next few days.

✅ Here’s what we urgently need: broken down cardboard boxes — lots of them! These will be used during the cats’ recovery process in our climate-controlled facility, where they’ll be safely monitored and assessed for TNR or adoption.

💬 If you can donate cardboard, please comment below, and we’ll message you the drop-off location.

❤️ Thank you for standing with us. We cannot take on cases like this without the support of our amazing community.

🔁 And always remember: Feeding them isn’t enough — you must fix them too.

🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED 38 CATS IN CRISIS🚨

✅As always LIKES,COMMENTS and SHARES are very helpful in these scenarios. ✅

We’ve just been made aware of a heartbreaking situation on a local property that’s spiraled out of control. What started as a few unfixed cats being fed has now turned into a full-blown crisis—with at least 38 cats needing immediate help.

This is what happens when just a couple of unfixed cats are allowed to reproduce unchecked. While our first instinct is always TNR (trap-neuter-return), many of these cats are friendly and adoptable—they deserve a real chance at a better life.

We’ve already pulled seven very sick kittens from the property. They were rushed to an emergency vet visit and have since started antibiotic treatment—but their road to recovery is just beginning.

We’re actively working with several dedicated rescue partners to coordinate recovery space, transport, and spay/neuter appointments. So far, 3 of the 38 cats have been sponsored for their spay/neuter, but we still have a long way to go.

Each cat will need:
• Spay/neuter
• Vaccines
• Flea/tick treatment
• Deworming
• Antibiotics (for the sick ones)
• Combo testing (for the friendly cats)

The estimated cost per cat is $80–$100. With so many in need, we can’t do this alone.

💔 These cats didn’t choose this life—but we have the power to change it for them.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation today. Every dollar brings us one step closer to getting them healthy, safe, and into loving homes.

🙏 Thank you for being part of this fight. Together, we can turn this crisis into a rescue success story.

Happy Tails Delphine 🥹

Delphine’s story is one of love, loss, and a new beginning. After her beloved mama crossed the rainbow bridge, she found herself without the one person who meant everything. But we know her mama is watching from above, smiling and at peace, knowing her girl is safe and loved.

Delphine has found a wonderful forever home—full of warmth, kindness, and all the soft places to land. While their time together on Earth was too short, the bond they shared lives on.

We wish Delphine nothing but happiness in this next chapter. Welcome home, sweet girl. 💕🐾
