Spay and neuter is still THE answer and first priority for us.

We took a breather from surgeries during National Adoption Week but are now back on schedule getting everyone fixed to stop the cycle.

Thursday was surgery day. Everyone is recovering nicely after a great day of care with our amazing vet partner.

Here's a recap:

☑️ 10 surgeries performed with full vetting done
☑️ 6 female spays all adults or juveniles of reproductive age
☑️ 4 males neutered all adults or juveniles of reproductive age
☑️ 3 Mamas retired from the baby making business in our local area
☑️ 2 were pre-adopted and went to their family to recover. A Retired Mama and juvenile male.
☑️ 6 were an abandonment case in very rural Suwanee County
☑️ 4 came to us homeless from Columbia County
☑️ All FIV/FELV negative

We do what we do thru the generosity of our donors and partners. We are grateful!

We receive no state or local government funding.

Our rescue is entirely 💯 percent fueled by volunteers.

On average between surgery transports and owner drop offs we spay/neuter 35-40 felines a month.

We are constantly fundraising to replenish our vetting fund. We don't like to repeatedly ask for funding but these numbers don't happen without it.

Thank you from the kitties whose lives changed this week because good people came together to make it happen.

Catching up on Furever Home news. With heartfelt thanks to the wonderful families who we know will make the next chapters of their lives great ones.

Our awesome foster families work hard and pour in a lot of love to get our rescues ready for that next chapter.

Fostering is rewarding yet selfless. Fosters fall in love over and over again. Then send them on their way to their end destination which is their adoptive family. They are the bridge to their futures. Crucial bridges.

As a foster based rescue adoption does more to help us keep going than give families a new pet. It opens space for the next one that deserves the same opportunity. Space that fills fast because of the never ceasing demand and the cycle repeats.

Our hats are off to both our adoptive and foster families for being the bridge to their futures.

Happy Tails to:

Among those are one Retired Mama no longer having babies in the community as her new family fell in love. No more outdoors as she won their hearts and home.

Two foster failures because well if you know you know! Sometimes it's just too hard to say goodbye so two of our young ladies were already home all along as it turns out.

They each have stories. They are so much more than numbers to us. They take a piece of our hearts with them as we celebrate the start of their new lives.

The cat mobile (actually a personal vehicle 😸) finally landed tonight after a well scheduled trip spanning several stops and two counties.

17 adoptions last week and 3 left to finish adoptions thru a partner rescue.

Meanwhile the calls kept coming. As of today we are back to intake wait list status. We are here to help and support those in the community to find workable solutions. But as of now we are a full house. More on that tomorrow.

Today was a day of:

☑️ Intake paperwork/chores
☑️ Settling them at fosters
☑️ Naming some newbies
☑️ Prepping for surgery day

But just as you sit down to say "what a day" you find this in your inbox.

6 of the most adorable little nuggets living the life with their amazing fosters.

Meanwhile Mama is scheduled for spay and will be adopted by the family who found her.

Priceless!

Tired? Yes! Seeing those adorable little ones safe, warm and happy? Definitely a reminder of why we do what we do.

Please be patient with us at this time.

While our cats and kitties are napping and enjoying this beautiful day we are in constant motion. It has been overly busy and our small crew of volunteers are doing our best to keep up.

Being honest we are trying to get back to everyone who has recently called, texted and emailed. We are doing our best to get to everyone as soon as possible.

We aren't ignoring you. We care! The amount of contacts we are receiving are overwhelming.

The need right now for help with homeless felines is immense. Our phones prove it. We are trying our best and appreciate your support and understanding.

With Gratitude:

Now that it's a new week with everything unpacked and the cats/kittens settled back in after being Adoption Troopers some thanks are in order.

To the Dream Team at PetSmart in Lake City a heartfelt thank you from all of us and every adoptable pet who came thru your doors last week.

We value our partnership immensely and collaborating with you during Fall National Adoption Week was our honor.

Our rescue had a great week with 17 making love connections and finding their furever home and family. And we had a lot of fun doing it.

Thank you to our adopters, cat loving followers and friends, amazing fosters and volunteers. Each of you played a part in making the week successful.

Our local store is amazing to their adoption partners and are making a huge difference in the lives of pets. Please shop their store, support and thank them for their can do attitude and generosity always.

You all rock and we appreciate you!

Sometimes you are the bridge between where they were and where they are going.

We love being a piece of the puzzle that takes our sweet homeless felines to happy endings.

Partnership
Collaboration
Cooperation

A rescue we know for close to two decades had willing, screened and well qualified adopters looking for their purrfect companions that checked all the boxes. Not having a good fit they reached out.

They asked "show us your kitties". Actually two wanted adults and one wanted a well behaved teenager beyond kittenhood.

Once shared to their waiting adopters three love connections were made and futures were changed.

We can't take the credit. Working together with a superb partner made that happen. We are totally comfortable with this rescue's way of operating and their adoption policies mirror our own. We have zero doubt these three will go on to great homes to live their best lives.

The three have made their way to Sunny South Florida to their new families.

Furever home
Happy endings
Rewriting their next chapter

Sometimes that is what it is all about.

Go shine bright Alicia, Zorro and Mocha. Bright futures lie ahead.

With gratitude to the partner rescue who helped make that happen.

Seeking Retirement Home:

A special post for a special gal.

It is an adjustment for any cat to lose the only home they have known for years.

But for a senior set in her ways and routines it can be traumatic and hard to adjust. Older cats can shut down taken out of their normal setting and placed into a rescue environment. We don't want to add adjustments, steps or confusion by moving her around. So we are sharing to find the purrfect place and new family for her to transition easily with one move.

Without going into all the details her human Daddy passed away a while back. The party who has been caring for her is about to go thru some major life changes of her own including not being able to care for this sweet gal anymore. We have offered to help because her caretaker truly cares about her finding a good fit.

We have until mid November to find her the purrfect retirement home. Somewhere stable for her to live her best life for the remainder of her years.

Our goal is to see her go directly from her current caretaker to her new family/home. Less to adjust to making her transition easier.

About her:

She is a tabby 14-15 years old. She is sweet and loving but independent and is an expert napper. Overall just a low key, laid back girl who needs someone with patience willing to help her adjust to changes to choose her.

She's fixed and in good health for her age but not up to date on vaccines. Our rescue will see to it that she has all she needs before she enters her new home with her new family.

She is remaining with her caretaker for now while we work on arranging everything.

Our adoptions are done in person but we would love to speak with anyone who could open their heart and home to a sweet senior girl who needs a new place to nap, live and love.

If that is you please feel free to reach out so we can tell you more!

Our Friday ended with full hearts, cheerful send offs, new connections and lots of feline cuteness.

6 happy adoptions today.

One was a Mama cat where a wonderful family took her in to have her kittens. She won their hearts. Today her 5 little ones went to their amazing foster. Mama is scheduled for spay and being adopted by that caring family.

Every Mama retired and placed in a loving home ends a cycle and means less kittens being born outdoors and homeless.

As 6 left us 6 newbies entered rescue. By their demeanors likely once house cats who were abandoned on a rural road. A feeder and advocate friend and her husband were their angels and set out to trap everyone. They succeeded. They are getting TLC tonight. This crew is sweet as sugar despite fear and abandonment.

Plus a bonus Russian Blue boy kitten whose eyes are a mess and is in need of nourishment.

Full Friday. Full hearts. Busy day.

Thanks to our fosters, volunteers, adopters, adoption partner staff and everyone who made this full day run smoothly as we changed feline lives.

And we will be back at it tomorrow.
