Whoops I'm new to live and my phone died 😹 Adam aka Binx took a little time to work up the courage then darted out of the carrier straight under the tarp and then under the porch. I think he will come around in a year or less. Glad he's neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and chipped now and has nice people willing to feed him twice a day. ❤️

Look at those beautiful eyes!! 🤩

A little update on our sweet (and sassy😅) Scar! He’s continuing to heal beautifully after his bilateral entropion surgery, and the difference in his eyes is incredible!

He’s been enjoying more time out exploring, rolling around, and showing off his goofy little personality. It’s hard to believe this is the same formerly feral boy who could barely open his eyes just a few weeks ago! He seems sooo much happier.

So great to see him feeling better and getting more comfortable with indoor life. ❤️🐈‍⬛

A few before-during-after photos because his progress deserves to be seen!

If you’d like to help me continue giving cats like Scar the care they deserve, wishlists and other ways to contribute are below. Between vet bills, food, and supplies, every bit of community support is so helpful.

Scar had his surgery on Tuesday to correct the entropion in both eyes, and he is doing AMAZING!

For those who missed his story, Scar is a formerly feral colony cat who came to us with severely swollen, infected eyes. We learned that he had bilateral entropion, a painful condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing the fur to constantly rub against the eyes.

He’s recovering beautifully! When we’re out working in the garage, he gets some supervised time to explore, and he absolutely loves it. He’s been rolling around, being goofy, and showing us more of his sweet personality. 🥹 It’s pretty incredible to see how far this formerly feral boy has come!

Last week, we trapped 10 cats and brought them to Purple Cat for spay and neuter. Almost all of them have turned out to be friendly, so we’re currently working on securing rescue placement for them rather than returning them outdoors.

We’re currently caring for 15 cats, so things have been pretty nonstop around here!

On Saturday, we also took in a ~10-week-old kitten named Victoria with a severely degloved tail. We were able to start meds to stabilize her and get her the care she needed. Yesterday, she was transferred to Pet Haven, where her necrotic tail was surgically removed. We’re very grateful that Pet Haven was able to take her in and provide the surgery and continued care she needed. ❤️

It’s been a busy stretch, but seeing cats like Scar feeling better, coming out of their shells, and getting a chance at a different life makes it worth it.

Pete came to us from our actual neighborhood last night. He had stayed throughout winter in heated shelters but I hadn't seen him lately. A neighbor a block away befriended him and was able to secure him. He's been through it and has multiple infected wounds he's now receiving treatment for 🥺

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared posts, or helped support these cats!

Any help with supplies would be super helpful ❤️😅

🌙 Moonlight Update 🐈‍⬛❤️

⚠️ Graphic photo warning: I will add photos that show Moonlight’s healing skin and the severity of her wounds at her initial veterinary visit on September 9th, compared with today, October 14th in the comments.⚠️

Our sweet 19-year-old Moonlight has been through a lot lately, but she’s making some wonderful progress!

Some of you might remember Moonlight from last month when I asked for help covering her vet care. She had extensive areas of raw, inflamed, and damaged skin, which I suspect is the result of severe flea allergy dermatitis.

She was transferred into my care this past weekend after a family member was no longer able to keep her due to a move. Unfortunately, I found a significant amount of flea dirt on her, which has raised concerns about the environment she had been living in and the possibility of her returning there.

She’s been to the vet several times since her skin issues began and has been healing really well! She’s also been receiving laser therapy, which seems to be making a big difference in her recovery.

Unfortunately, Moonlight also got into a scuffle with another cat prior to coming into my care, leaving her with a deep wound that became infected. She was seen by the vet again today to address that, so we still have some healing ahead of us.

Despite all this, this little old lady has been such a trooper! She’s sporting her cone like an absolute champ and tolerating all her treatments incredibly well. She did swipe me once when my guard was down but I prolly had it coming 😹

A huge thank you to everyone who donated toward Moonlight’s veterinary care last month! That helped get her the initial care she desperately needed, and I’m so grateful for everyone who stepped up for her.

With multiple visits, continued wound care, and laser treatments, she does have a balance at the clinic. Her treatment is still ongoing, and any additional contributions toward her care would be greatly appreciated.

At 19 years old, every day matters, and she deserves to spend her remaining years feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m so happy to see how far she’s come. She is so sweet.

Scar needs surgery ASAP on both eyes 🥺

I’ve been working on a colony in Phillips neighborhood in Mpls where about six new cats have recently shown up. While trapping for TNR appointments, I also caught a familiar face — Scar.

Scar was one of the cats previously trapped, neutered, and returned to the colony. He basically hasn't left the property for the last 3–4 months, and his caretaker gave him his name.

When I saw him a few days ago, I knew something wasn’t right. Both of his eyes were very swollen and filled with thick green discharge. I thought there was something more going on than a common feline herpes flare-up, so I brought him inside and took him to the clinic to be seen.

Unfortunately, Scar has entropion in BOTH eyes and needs surgery to fix his eyelids to help him see.

Entropion is a condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing his fur and eyelashes to constantly rub against the surface of the eyes. I can't imagine having something scratching my eyes each time I blink. It’s very painful and eventually causes permanent corneal damage.

Scar’s caretaker believes he was born outdoors, and he was incredibly feral when he first showed up and was originally trapped for his neuter. But over the last year or so, he’s transformed into the sweetest guy, and is very affectionate and chatty. He deserves to live without constant pain.

I'm hoping to raise approximately $500 to cover his surgery and follow up care. Thankfully, the condition is correctable, and repairing his eyelids should give him a lot of immediate relief.

I want to send him on to his new life indoors in better shape because he's hardly able to open his eyes right now.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing his story helps a lot. The photos aren't the best because he's a very busy boy lol.

Two more happy endings 🩶

Gracie and Joyce were both adopted in the last few days — both by the people who originally found them.

Both girls are now spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworm.

No more struggling outside. No more wondering where their next meal is coming from. They’re safe, loved, and officially home.

Welcome home, Gracie and Joyce.
