🐾 SPECIAL MATCHMAKING ALERT: Adoption Fees Waived for Two Very Special Cats! 🐾

Please Share to Help Bruce & Cinderella find their families 🧡

Our primary goal is always to find the safest, most loving forever homes for our rescue babies—homes committed to loving them for exactly who they are, quirks and all. To help two of our precious rescues find their perfect fits, we are waiving the adoption fee for both Cinderella and Bruce!

Both of these sweet kittens are fully vetted (spayed/neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on distemper vaccines, and complete on all protocol meds)

✨ Cinderella
* Siamese Kitten (Rescued April 28th)
* Personality: Pure love! She is a sweet, affectionate, and super friendly girl who adores human attention.
* Special Care: Cinderella has sensitive eyes that may occasionally require eye drops or ointment. She handles it like a champ and just needs a family willing to keep an eye on her visual health!
She's incredibly friendly & so very loving!!

💙 Bruce
* Backstory: Found dumped at Publix when he was only about 5 weeks old.
* Personality: A gentle, fun-loving soul who loves to play!
* Special Considerations: Bruce is timid at first and will need a patient adjustment period in a new home. Once he feels safe, he warms up completely—he has formed a deep, loving bond with his foster mom, and his true sweet personality shines through! He loves laying with you while watching TV & being around his human. He is such a precious kitty too. We are simply looking for families who understands their unique needs and will love them just as they are

📋 Adoption Process:

While their adoption fees are waived to help them find the right match, an approved application is still required. We love Cinderella and Bruce deeply and want to make sure they transition into safe, forever families who will cherish them for life.
If you or someone you know can give Cinderella or Bruce the patient, loving home they deserve, please reach out to us or submit an application today!

🚨 URGENT CRISIS

This is a hard post to make. I knew deep down it was coming but tried to avoid sharing this. My health has made things a little rough lately.

I have always tried to carry the majority load on my own back. From day one, I did whatever it took to keep this rescue running—delivering groceries with Instacart and Spark, working late-night side cleaning jobs, and even selling my blood at Discovery Donor Clinic in Huntsville every few weeks which went directly into my rescue account for these babies.

I never wanted to ask for help unless it was a major medical surgery situation. The day to day and many of the unexpected surgeries, visits, and care, I’ve always fought to handle the financial burden so the animals would never go without and turn to our community only when i exhausted every other avenue. You have been amazing at seeing us through a lot of critical cases and I'm deeply greatful for that.

We have never had a grant or financial assistance. It's been my side jobs that I have depended on.

But right now, life has hit a wall, and I am begging our community to help us survive.

Recently, doctors found a spiculated mass on my right breast, and I had to undergo surgery a couple of weeks ago. I am still recovering from that procedure and have to follow up with specialist in Huntsville all while preparing for another upcoming surgery on my right foot a week from Tuesday. Between the physical limitations, recovery time, and medical issues, I haven't been working as much. What little I have, I've had to cover my own medical bills and copays. Everything is piling up fast. We have a lot of unpaid balances and could use some help!

I hate so bad asking for help but our rescue is in serious trouble. We currently have outstanding balances at both our local vet clinic and our clinic in Huntsville and tons of unpaid charges frpm vet visits on my credit cards. I am at a point where I simply cannot carry this alone anymore, and I am terrified of what will happen if we can't pay these bills, catch up and at least get in the green or close to it. I cannot let this rescue shut down. Things will eventually go back to normal but if we could have a hand from our community, it sure would mean the world!

I am making an urgent, humble plea to anyone who can help.

* If you can donate: Whether it is $5, $10, $20, or $100—every single dollar makes a direct difference in paying off our vet debt and keeping our doors open.

* If you cannot donate: I completely understand. Times are tough for so many right now. But PLEASE SHARE THIS POST. Sharing costs nothing, and it gets our story in front of someone who might be able to pitch in.

Ways to donate:

• Paypal.me/kittiesinthecity
• venmo
• CashApp: $kittiesinthecity

• Direct to Vet: You can also call in a payment directly to our vet accounts at Westside Veterinary Hospital

Thank you all so much for your love, your shares, and for standing by us when we need our community the most. ❤️🐾

Below are just some of the lives we've changed! Endless TNR projects, many sick and injured now have loving homes, and so many more! Thousands of lives have been impacted by our mission and we just pray we can continue to help these precious cats and kittens who need us.

Looking for love or a tiny house panther to rule your living room? You’re in luck—it’s Black Cat Appreciation Day, and our rescue is currently overflowing with adorable panthers waiting for their forever homes! 🐈‍⬛✨

Sadly, black cats are overlooked. They are always the last ones adopted and the first euthanized in public shelters bc their adoption rates are so low.
We've rescued so many solid black litters, year after year and this year is no different. One of my own foster babies, Nova is solid black. She is such a beautiful fluffy kitten and ah so sweet!

Forget the old superstitions. In many cultures, a black cat crossing your path brings good fortune and prosperity. The only thing these sleek beauties are actually guilty of casting is a spell on your heart. Who doesn't wanna be in love?

Why you need to fill a void in your life you didn't know you had:

Monochrome Royalty: They come pre-formatted in high-fashion black. They never clash with your outfit or your furniture. Wink wink

Master Hide-and-Seek Champions: Half your photos will look like a shadowy abyss with glowing yellow eyes, but when the sun hits that glossy coat? Absolutely stunning.

Endless Love & Mischief: From playful, bouncy kittens to calm, affectionate adults, we have a personality for every lap.

We have tons of black kittens and cats available for adoption right now! Come adopt one of these beautiful kittens that will love you a lifetime unconditionally ❤️

Bouns points for this seven year old gentleman who is fully vetted and needs a special kind of home. Adoption fee for him is 100% sponsored. It's a very unique situation. He needs access to a safe outdoor space. Indoor/outdoor would be best for him. If there is any possible way you could consider lending your porch for a cat at risk of euthanasia, please reach out. His days are numbered. I will be happy to discuss this more with anyone truly interested in helping him land his final fovever home! His picture is last, please check this handsome gentleman out!

JOPPA CASE UPDATE

🌟 FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING! 🐾✨

It takes a village, and this story is pure proof of what happens when compassionate hearts team up for a miracle! I'm a little late posting but great news follows.

We took on the Joppa case I shared with you. This was a severe outdoor hoarding situation where multiple cats and kittens were surviving in filth & facing harsh conditions day after day. They were very sick. You could feel Every SINGLE Bone in every cat and kitten. We had a lot of cats to figure out what to do with.

They all had a horrible flea infestations with thousands of fleas bitting them nonstop. They had worms and coccida.

Among them was a resilient Siamese mama who spent years having endless litters, watching her own kittens grow up to have litters right beside her. It was a sad scene.

That cycle has ending now 🛑❤️ whoop whoop!!

Thanks to an incredible team effort, these sweet souls are safe, warm, fed, and living the life they always deserved! Some are still searching for homes!

🏆 THE HERO OF THE DAY:

A MASSIVE shout-out to our incredible Kitties In The City Rescue volunteer, Lisa Jackson! Lisa stepped up without hesitation, drove out to rescue these babies, took them into foster care, and poured her heart into nursing them back to glowing health. Look at those bright eyes and soft coats now! 😻✨

🤝 OUR AMAZING RESCUE PARTNERS:
We could not have pulled this off alone! Huge love and gratitude to:
✨ Debbie at A New Leash on Life (Huntsville) for stepping in and helping us with the spay and neuter portion of their vetting.

✨ Our fantastic rescue partner & friends out of Shelbyville, TN for jumping into action to help make this operation complete by taking a momma who just gave birth to 7 more kittens!
We send our love to A Nutter Cat Rescue ❤️

Some have had to have repeat visits, ongoing medicines, and of course all their protocols, microchips, and vaccines! Lisa stepped up to help with some of those expenses too. Her favorite socks has had a couple of repeat visits. We keep praying for his strength and recovery 🙏

Cases this large are impossible to handle alone! That's why rescue relationships are so vital. We need each other, and this post highlights the incredible difference it makes for these cats when we come together. If we hadn't joined forces, they would have continued to suffer. Some had already passed away, and many of these babies were right on the brink. The cycle would have never ended, but now they have a chance to be the center of attention and live a life they could only dream of before.

🏡 READY FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES!
After getting fixed, vaccinated, and fully spoiled, several of these sweet babies have officially made their debut! You can go meet these gorgeous, playful cuddle-bugs in person right now at Petsense in Hampton Cove!

From filthy grounds and tents to cozy fleece blankets and endless love—their brand-new lives are just beginning. Go visit them at Petsense today or send us a message to apply! 🏠💖

🚨 PLEASE READ & SHARE: OVER-THE-COUNTER FLEA MEDICATIONS CAN BE FATAL TO CATS 🚨

We are sharing this critical warning to address a heartbreaking issue that continues to injure and claim the lives of pets: cheap, over-the-counter (OTC) flea and tick treatments—particularly store-bought "3-in-1" topical products like Hartz.

Just recently, a devastating story was brought to us. A cat was given an OTC 3-in-1 flea product and suffered five consecutive seizures, followed by a final, brutal seizure that ultimately took his life. He was a sweet young orange cat with his whole life ahead of him. This is not an isolated event—it happens far too often.

⚠️ GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING ⚠️
The photo below shows the back of the neck of another cat who suffered a severe reaction to an OTC topical flea treatment. The cat mom had no idea these products were poisonous to her baby. Dr Lauren repeat sessions of laser therapy. Originally her neck looked like raw hamburger meat. This open, raw chemical burn is what the application site looked like after multiple cold-laser therapy treatments—meaning the initial chemical destruction of the skin was even worse.

Why Are Cheap OTC Flea Products So Dangerous?
Many low-cost, store-bought flea drops (often sold at grocery stores, big-box retailers, or dollar stores) contain harsh, outdated pesticide compounds like organophosphates (such as Tetrachlorvinphos) or pyrethroids.

Cats lack specific liver enzymes required to process and break down these chemicals safely. Even when applied strictly according to package instructions, these toxins can absorb into the skin and bloodstream, causing:

* Severe chemical burns, tissue necrosis, and hair loss at the application site
* Drooling, dilated pupils, and extreme lethargy
* Neurological toxicity, muscle tremors, severe cluster seizures, and death
Safe, Effective Alternatives

You do not have to risk your cat's life to eliminate fleas. Always consult a veterinarian or use trusted, prescription-grade products with proven safety records:

* Revolution (Selamectin): A broad-spectrum topical preventive with an outstanding safety track record across thousands of cats, kittens, and rescue animals.
* Capstar (Nitenpyram): A safe, fast-acting oral tablet that begins killing adult fleas within 30 minutes to provide fast relief without topical skin toxins.

What To Do In An Emergency

If you or someone you know has recently applied an over-the-counter flea product to a cat:

* Flush the Site Immediately: Wash the application area thoroughly with mild dish soap (like original Dawn) and lukewarm water to strip the chemical oils from the skin and fur. Do NOT use flea shampoo, as this adds more chemicals to their system.

* Seek Emergency Veterinary Care: If the cat shows any signs of twitching, shaking, excessive drooling, loss of balance, or seizures, transport them to an emergency vet immediately.
Please share this post to help educate pet owners. Choosing safe, vet-recommended flea care can save a cat's life. 🐾

🐾 10 LIVES CHANGED & ONE HUGE SUCCESSFUL NIGHT! 🐾

We have 10 huge reasons to celebrate! Yesterday, we wrapped up a massive trapping run resulting in 10 total spays and neuters—8 TNR community cats and 2 sweet adoptable babies! ✂️❤️

A project like this takes a village, an unbelievable amount of hard work, and... zero sleep! 😴
A huge, heartfelt shoutout to Lauren, who joined me for her very first TNR run! We pulled a complete all-nighter Monday night, running on pure dedication and caffeine. I had the privilege of showing her the ropes, and she absolutely crushed it—looks like we’ve got a natural on our hands! 💪✨

We covered two different locations, and we want to send a massive THANK YOU to the caretakers who stepped up to do the right thing. By taking action, this breaks the endless, painful cycle of homeless kittens born into suffering. That is true compassion in action! 👏

People often wonder what goes into a TNR night behind the scenes. It is physical, exhausting work:
📦 Hand-cutting custom cardboard liners for every single trap floor

🐟 Laying down strategic sardine trails
🚗 Loading traps, unloading them, transporting to the vet, loading again, and unloading for release!
It’s a long process, but every single heavy trap lifted changes the rest of that cat's life forever. 💖
Meet some of our stars from yesterday:

😼 The handsome guy sporting the ultimate chubby tomcat cheeks!

🧡 Our fiery orange friend who decided he was going to attempt to dig his way right through his cardboard liner!

🐾 The sweet little kittens and frosty beauties who are all resting easy today.

We missed a couple of sly ones on our list, but don't worry—we’ll be back for them soon!
If you have stray or community cats in your area, please support and practice TNR. Spaying and neutering is the single kindest, most effective gift we can give these animals.
Check out these beautiful faces from our run! 👇✨

🚨 HAPPY UPDATE: 50/50 IS BACK HOME! 🐾🎉

The power of community awareness is incredible! In less than 24 hours since our last post, 50/50 is officially back home where she belongs!

There are several details I didn't make public and I still won't share everything, but I didn't share how many days she was missing prior to my post, the private efforts we made to find our baby girl, or a few other things like my timestamped and dated text message from Monday showing someone specifically asked about taking one of the cats from this location. (The cat someone asked about taking was a different calico that is not friendly or catchable!) None of that matters now! What does matter and all that matters is she is back! Whoever had her ultimately did the right thing and returned her! Thank you to whoever you are!! We are so grateful to see our precious girl back home! 🙏❤️You literally made our night! Our hearts are filled with joy! Sincerely, thank you!!!

After days of being missing, she showed back up tonight, looking great and so full of happiness. Her tail is up in the air, she’s running around with energy, and you can instantly tell how much she missed her home, her routine, and her family. She was running here, running there, just darting all over the place like she couldn't soak enough of it up. I see a rotisserie chicken and sardine party on the horizon! 🍗🐟 following a wacky catnip and feather wand dance!

We are so deeply grateful to every single person who shared her post, spoke up, and helped bring awareness to her absence. Your quick response made all the difference in getting our girl back safe and sound. Tonight we will rest so much easier knowing our family is complete again!!

Thank you all for having her back! You **ARE** heroes and made a direct impact on her life. ❤️🐱✨

The picture wasn't her best side 🤣 the storm was brewing and I just wanted to snap a quick pic. She ate good and wouldn't get still long enough for good pictures. Hahaha, seeing her again is so fulfilling! 🤗
