Bookman would like you to see his perfect pink toebeans.

These two babies, along with two other siblings, were left behind in an apartment when a family moved out.

The landlord discovered the kittens a couple of days later during a walk-through of the apartment and started caring for them to try and save them.

Our friend, Elaine, heard about the kittens and reached out to the landlord to offer help. But four kittens this size is A LOT to care for and our foster, Karen, offered to take two of them. Thank you, Karen!

All four will be available for adoption in about two months.

🆘 URGENT: Help Us Save This Young Cat’s Leg 🐾💔

We were tagged in a Facebook post about an injured cat limping badly in Waynesville. We rushed over, and thankfully, we were able to catch her and get her to Asheville Veterinary Associates West for X-rays.

The diagnosis? A severe and painful break just above her knee.

She’s young, and we believe she deserves every chance, so we’re moving forward with surgery to save her leg, scheduled for Monday.

But we need your help.

Her surgery will cost around $3,000, and we’re already overwhelmed with injured and sick community cats and kittens who need urgent care.

This girl’s story is just one of many. Every donation helps us say yes to animals in crisis.

Your gift today will directly support her surgery and help us keep responding to the next emergency.

👉 Please donate now and share her story.

Together, we can give her the second chance she deserves.

Thank you for being there when it matters most. ❤️

Fill out an adoption application at sisterkitten.org for these perfect boys.

Meet Bookman! Bookman is one of three kitty siblings who came from a family in McDowell County that was seriously impacted by Hurricane Helene.

It's Wishlist Wednesday and we've been rescuing kittens left and right and are running low on kitten wet and dry food. If you could send us some from either our Amazon or Chewy wishlists, we would be very grateful! Thank you!

We picked up this friendly, pregnant cat yesterday in Hendersonville with the hope of getting her to the spay clinic ASAP.

When we got her and saw how very pregnant she was we knew it was unlikely we'd be able to spay her before the "miracle" happened.

She went into labor sometime overnight and currently has four babies but we're guessing there's a few more to go based on how enormous she was yesterday.

Thank you to Asheville Veterinary Associates West for giving this gal a safe, quiet place to give birth.

We didn't need more kittens but we're grateful she didn't have to give birth outside somewhere with all the dangers that presents.

We took this beautiful semi-feral gal to spay today and she went into labor at the clinic. We didn't even know she was pregnant.

At the time this video was taken she had a single little black kitten that she was VERY protective of. By five this afternoon she had a second kitten but won't let anyone see them.

Probably a first (and last) time momma but seems to be a good momma.

Did we need more kittens? No. But she had other plans and here we are. 🤷

We got a call over the weekend about this boy. Someone was trapping for a female cat and trapped this big, handsome fella instead. We met them Sunday to get him.

On Monday, when we were cleaning and feeding him we noticed this HUGE gash on the side of his front leg. It was really awful and we knew he'd need a trip to our vet rather than the spay/neuter clinic.

Today, he was sedated for exam and the wound was much, much bigger and worse than these photos show. He had a big mass in his elbow believed to be cancer and we made the very difficult decision to let him go.

That's never easy and probably even harder for folks who do TNR who see the potential in every cat.

We named him Tony. We were hoping for a different outcome for him but we're glad he's not out there still suffering. Rest easy, buddy.

Our buddy, Tatanka, had his surgery today to remove what remained of his front leg and is recovering well.

Thank you very much to everyone who donated to help with his surgery and care.

Have you been to The Love Cats store in downtown Asheville yet?

They have the coolest selection of cat themed tchotchkes and gifts.

They also sell some of our tshirts and we just resupplied them with our Feral AF and Tiny and Bitey shirts.

If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend stop by the store in downtown Asheville at 80 N Lexington Ave.

Another litter of bottle babies that came in this week. These guys were found without mom in Brevard. Thank you to foster mom Lauren for fostering these wee babies.

We started our day with a phone call from the Haywood County Animal Shelter. A cat was brought in to them this morning with his right front leg torn off and his microchip came back to us.

His name is Tatanka and he was adopted from us in May of last year. He's one of the four kittens in our Facebook header photo.

We don't know exactly what the hell happened to him and cannot imagine what he's been through. We contacted the family who adopted him and they've surrendered him back to us.

We're not going to get into specifics here.

All we can do is work to get him better.

He's going to need emergency surgery to remove the rest of his leg and close the wound. That will cost around $1500. If you can help with his surgery, we would be very grateful.

We took in these two very squirmy babies today who were found in a concrete mixer in Hendersonville over the weekend. A neighbor rescued them then realized she was in way over her head trying to care for them.

Huge thank you to our foster, Karen, for taking these two babies so quickly.

Our buddy, W***y (black), joined Randi at Petco. These are both the sweetest cats. Randi is more reserved but such a sweet girl. W***y will come right out to greet you.

Stop by and say hello to these two sweet babies!

That first girl couldn't wait for her close up.

We received a late night call a few nights ago. Someone had found kittens in the crawlspace of their home. They'd left them for as long as they felt safe doing so hoping mom would return but she never came back.

They brought the kittens inside and were doing their best to feed them but one had already died and the other two weren't doing great.

I called our foster, Angel, who dropped everything and rushed to get the kittens. She got them home, fed them, pottied them and put them in her incubator to warm them up.

They are doing much, much better. Say hello to Jelly Bean and Bunny.

Growing like weeds! Their foster mom, Jada, reports their eyes are opening. Momma is a trooper.

Our buddy Shale showed up at Veteran housing back when it was super cold. A very nice guy living there started feeding him and bringing him into his room at night to get him out of the cold.

He wasn't supposed to have a cat in his room and was worried he'd get into trouble and reached out to us for help. We went and picked up Shale, got him vetted and held onto him for adoption because he's such a sweet, lovable cat.

Today, he went home with an awesome family!
