Feisty Felines

In case you missed it, we decided to do a SPECIAL EDITION calendar this year 👀

It will feature rescue cats from our prison foster program 💗 Some of the cats are program alumni who have been adopted. Many are cats currently in foster waiting for a home.

…BUT we decided to make it fun (and take the pressure off us because we can’t choose when we love them ALL)!

So we entered a bunch of photos of cats from the prison program. And anyone who wants to contribute can help us choose.

The top 13 cats will be featured in the calendar, and the one with the most votes will also be on the cover 🐱

☕️ For the cost of skipping a latte, you can help us choose the calendar cats, while also helping us feed them at the same time 😉

🔵 $1 = 1 vote. Now through Nov 15th 🔵

WHERE are the cat lover CPAs?! That’s what Kristin asked yesterday (and I concur!!) as I spent 12 hours straight (after Sandy put in days in QuickBooks and I spent hours before also) working on getting federal taxes done by the extension due date yesterday.

Seriously though.. thank God for Google because I definitely had to look up how to answer some questions and how to enter some of our data (like the vehicles we own are listed under the land and equipment section). (To be clear, this year we had to do a 990 instead of a 990EZ because our receipts got so high. The first two or three years I got to do the postcard and that’s like 3 questions. 🤣 The last couple years it’s been an EZ form and this year it’s the full form. Oof)

If there is a cat lover CPA out there who would at least spend a little time with me or Sandy and I, that would be so appreciated. Or be willing to help with some questions. ❤️🙏 I plan to get our previous years’ data into Quickbooks as well and go over things and double check.

Cat lover spouses of CPAs may work also by convincing spouse to help 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

We cannot afford thousands to hire a CPA to do it for us unfortunately. The money it would take would almost be enough for one of the eye surgeries on Calypso or Millie. All the money we have raised for the calendars just paid the credit card off then we turned around and paid another $6k in medical bills. Broken leg cats, dentals for cats with stomatitis etc.
It’s a constant up and down on the card. With almost $200k in expenses last year (and it grows annually), we basically have to do one fundraiser after another or ask for help left and right to pay for all the medical cats we help plus food and litter stuff that doesn’t get donated (which we should really ask for help with food and litter more often tbh). $31k spend on food and litter (supplies) in 2025. So a little donated time from a CPA just to teach me a few things would be AMAZING!! I’m smart, I learn quickly, math is my favorite subject and I did take (just one) accounting class in college. ❤️🙏

Hi, Patty here. Foster coordinator and also the foster mom of this sweet guy.

Scrappy is quite literally the best. He’s a little nervous at first but once he’s past that he wants to be in your lap, your shoulder, your arms. He’s also a drooler when he is super happy. He also has the sweetest tiny meow.

We started this new thing where he will jump into my arms for me to hold him. He enjoys toys and carries springs and mice around.

The reality is I need someone to adopt him asap because I have 5 resident cats and fostering is my priority so please save me from myself. 😂

He is super cat friendly and he is dog approved.

He is Fixed, chipped, combo tested, vaccinated, flea treated and dewormed.

👁️ 😢

We have 4 kittens right now with eye issues being seen at the Eye Clinic for Animals in Olympia.

Jakob and Levi had a severe bacterial infection in their eyes and have been being treated since 9/2.

Millie and Calypso were seen at another vet and got their first appt there today.

Millie had cataracts in both eyes Dr isn’t as concerned on her as Calypso but both eye surgery is $5800.

Calypso has a lens in front on one eye that needs to be removed and cataracts in the other. She’s apparently “never seen eyes like hers”. Said they didn’t develop fully 💔

It’s $1000 to test the retina (?) in the one eye to see if it’s viable for the cataract surgery - which is $5k (not sure if that includes removing the lens on the other eye).

We have already spent about $2000 plus Vickie spend $1500 on Jakob and Levi before the rescue took them in. Jakob and Levi are doing well on their eye drops and may make a full recovery just with the drops.

Millie and Calyspo can really benefit from surgery.

Soooo anyone know someone who needs to donate to a charity before the end of the year to help their personal taxes? 😍🤪🤣 we even have vanguard and take stock transfers!!!

We may try to do some targeted fundraising for these babes.

Maybe we should try to do a gala before year end. I’ve never been to one or run one but if you have, hit us up if you want to be a part of a planning committee and help!!

Binx is still searching for a home! Anyone looking to add a sweet black cat to their family?

(Edit. We found more paid via PayPal or Venmo and givebutter. It’s actually $199k!)

*****

So I’m late getting taxes done because..well work and rescue is 80-100 hours a week as is.

I have an amazing bottle feeder who also does accounting but historically her life has been as crazy busy as mine.

Anyways. She’s helping get all of our 2025 numbers in QuickBooks.

$177k in expenses.

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND - granted this number includes where we help people get their cats fixed/the community runs. But that’s all work. That’s a lot of money that represents (volunteer) work. 🥴

This is why I have to finally have to scale back (not leave, just scale back). We started in 2020 with $32k in expenses and it’s climbed every year. 😅

To all those who support us to make it possible to help alllll the kitties that money went for (because we are alllll volunteers who don’t get paid)… THANK YOU. ❤️🙏🥰 that’s donors, fosters and volunteers.

Also why I teeter on a mental health breakdown 😩🤪😂

I can’t wait for the “income” part. Curious what adoption fees were - you know, for the people who say we make money on cats/kittens 😅 any wild guesses on adoption fees collected? I’m going to guess like $30k.
