Say hello to Hulk! 🤎 Isn’t he a hunk?
He was rescued by one of our founders and is now looking for his forever home. Please connect with us if you’d like to meet him or may be interested in adoption. And please share 🙏

Remember the abandoned residence off Million Dollar Road where we found 3 of our previously TNR’ed friendly felines still roaming around?
Well, they’ve all been vaccinated and have been setup to find loving forever homes.

Here’s the tabby boy Pumpkin in his new home - clearly, very comfortable around his new large canine siblings!

Keep up with the heat advisories for your area! Recognize that asphalt and the interior of cars can reach extreme temperatures quickly in this hot weather. Take morning and evening walks in mostly shaded areas and NEVER leave your animal in a car without the AC running. Familiarize yourselves with the signs of heat stroke in cats and dogs so that you can act quickly if an animal is in need.

Stay safe, St. Tammany!

Who has thousands of homes in mind where these kittens can go? No one. There is nowhere for them to go! Shelters and rescues are overwhelmed. Euthanasia is happening to healthy animals all the time. We all can help with spay and neuter!

Edit: It's important to understand that these numbers represent a theoretical maximum under ideal conditions, where all cats survive and reproduce at their fastest potential rate. The actual numbers would vary based on individual cat biology and/or environmental factors.

However, the core message remains the same regardless of the precise number. It's clear that cats are very prolific breeders, and unchecked reproduction can lead to significant population growth. This rapid increase in the number of cats often outpaces the availability of suitable homes.

If you feed them, fix them 🙏 (ASAP!)

This kitten is being spayed. She is only 4.5 months old and she was pregnant. She is a baby herself, now thankfully spared the misery of raising a litter on the streets. This is the battle we are up against: babies who can have babies, cats who can get pregnant while already pregnant or as soon as two weeks after giving birth. This is why we implore you, if you see a cat, please fix a cat, pregnant or not. We fix kittens at two months, two lbs, following shelter medicine protocols in our clinic. We are begging you to help us help them. Feeding cats without fixing= breeding. Photo credit: Dr. Erica Unz, DVM.

Everyone loves Mandeville’s Mi Mamacita’s - even the felines!! 😻 Not all at once, but over the course of a couple months, we’ve managed 7 TNRs around the restaurant plus 3 Sign Shop kitties next door.
These two older kittens were our most recent Mi Mama’s TNRs… wishing these purrfect souls a long and much healthier life 🙏

🚨Looking for experienced fosters or fellow cat lovers willing to learn proper fostering!!

A Bogalusa colony we’ve been working to TNR just had two cardboard boxes dropped off, each with a mama cat and 7 kittens inside.

Photos coming soon! But please connect with us if you’d be willing to foster any number of kittens. Thank you 🙏

On this 😻National Kitten Day😻, we wish to celebrate and advocate for these innocent little souls with a few educational facts:

🔸in the United States, around 180 million kittens are born each year, and approximately 1.5 million enter shelters each year
🔸kittens over 8 wks old are among the most adopted animals, while kittens under 8 wks of age are the most likely to die in shelters due to their specialized care needs 
🔸83% of kittens entering shelters are surrendered as “stray” meaning they were found outside due to unaltered pet cats, community cats, and/or feral cats
🔸want to really dive in and learn more?? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/V6YTpsNyq1A?si=bRWaJd18Y6oBHwl6

🤷🏻‍♀️ So, what can be done? How can you help?

➡️ if you feed them, fix them (and ASAP!)
➡️ even if you don’t feed them, fix them!
➡️ volunteer some time and get involved with TNR (trap, neuter, return) in your community 
➡️ volunteer some time and get involved with fostering for local rescues and shelters
➡️ if you’re able, donate your time, supplies, and/or money to local rescues and shelters 
➡️ and if you’re really able, adopt a pair of kittens to bring lots of joy and love into your home
