Today is National Check the Chip Day!!! 😺

A microchip is your pet’s silent lifeline if they’re ever lost—but only if the info is up to date!

Today’s the day to:
✔️ Make sure your pet is microchipped
✔️ Check and update your contact info
✔️ Register the chip if you haven’t already

Cats, dogs, and yes—even turtles—can be microchipped! It’s a simple step that can make the difference between lost and found. 😸🐕🐢

A quick check could save a life. 🐾

Check the chip. Keep them safe. Bring them home. 🏡

💔 Gillian Update 💔

After running tests, the vet suspected that my precious foster kitten Gillian Owens had a liver shunt. Her prognosis was poor, and treatment would have required a CT scan and surgery when she was bigger. The cost would have been around $10,000, and even then, we didn’t know if she’d survive. 😞

I drove back to SOVSC last night to say goodbye. 😭 She gave me gentle purrs and knew she was loved until her very last breath. I’m beyond devastated. We all are. Her sister Sally is being closely monitored, as this is likely a congenital issue. A big thank you to Brittney, for meeting me at SOVSC so I didn't have to be alone. 💕

Gillian is at the Rainbow Bridge now, with the three siblings we lost a month ago (failure to thrive). While my heart is shattered, I’m grateful she’s no longer suffering.

The final bill for Gillian’s emergency care was $1,635.10. We’ve received several donations already (thank you so much 💜), but we haven’t yet raised enough to cover it.

If you’d like to help us close the gap, donations can be sent via:

Run free, sweet girl. You will never be forgotten. 🌈🐾

My sweet foster kitten Gillian Owens (character in Practical Magic) is fighting for her life right now. 💔 She’s almost 5 weeks old, and I’ve been caring for her since she was just a week old.

I came home today to find her minimally responsive, intermittently crying, and struggling to breathe. I rushed her to Southern Oregon Veterinary Specialty Center, where they took her back immediately. The vet believes this is neurological, but we don’t know the cause yet — it could be an infection or a head injury. She's kenneled with her sister Sally, but she does like to climb. 🫤

Her temperature is low, her eyes aren’t tracking, her pupils aren’t dilating, she can’t hold her head up, and her limbs are uncoordinated. They’ve started IV fluids, antibiotics, and a hypertonic solution in case she has pressure on the brain. If she responds well, she might be able to come home tonight.

This little girl has fought so hard already — I can’t lose her. Please send every ounce of love, hope, and healing energy you can spare her way. 💕

💳 The estimate so far is $1905.14-2274.52. If you can help with her bill, I would be so very grateful.

Even $5 makes a difference. Let’s give Gillian a chance to keep fighting! 💪

Today we took 5 cats to SNYP for spay/neuter — that’s 5 more baby makers officially out of business! 🎉

Huge shoutout to Liz and Laurie for braving the late-night hours to get these kitties trapped. Your hard work means fewer litters, healthier cats, and happier communities. 💜

Hi everyone! 🐾 I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for the quiet on our page lately. Things have been incredibly busy behind the scenes with a ton of fosters, including several sick kittens and bottle babies (one came to me on Monday weighing just 2.6 ounces 🥺).

The truth is, I’ve been completely overwhelmed trying to keep up with the intense care these little ones need, and I haven’t had the bandwidth to stay active on social media. But please know that your support is still very much felt and appreciated — and even when it's quiet online, we’re still here, doing the work, one tiny life at a time.

Thank you for sticking with us and for continuing to believe in what we do. We’ll be back with updates, stories, raffles, and lots of kitten photos soon. Until then, please keep these little ones in your thoughts. 💕

With gratitude and a lap full of purrs,
~Melody~

🚨 LOST CAT! 🚨

Feral cat managed to escape from a trap, and got loose in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Short hair, all black, and has some sort of injury (based on blood left behind). Unfortunately we don't have a good picture of her. She will not come to humans, but please let us know if you see her. We are devastated. 😭

Location: Medford, near Windgate, Calle Vista, and Canterwood Dr.

🐾☀️ $5 Friday ☀️🐾

It’s hot. Like melt-your-chapstick-in-your-purse hot. 🥵 And you know who still expects breakfast, lunch, and second dinner? The cats.

They don’t care that we’re sweating through our shirts or that the AC is gasping for mercy. They just want their food. Their fancy, crunchy, saucy, “I only eat from this brand or I’ll scream” food.

So we’re asking for $5 – the price of a popsicle… or one of those glorious Drumstick ice creams you’ll inhale in two bites – to help us keep the kibble coming and the wet food flowing.

Because the only thing worse than summer cattitude… is hangry summer cattitude. 😾🔥
