Tomato Alum Spotlight: CLOVER 🩷

A few months ago our sweetest and most perfect tiny tortie girl hit the road with her new family back to their home in Chicago. Due to her PE flying was too much of a risk so her family flew down to spend a few days getting to know her before roadtripping it back home to meet her new.. not just one but two blind siblings! 💓💓💓

As you can see she’s growing sillier and more confident everyday amongst her new sisters, which has made us shed more than a couple joy filled tears seeing her so happy and adored 🥹

Bitty recap: Clover came to us with her brother Sunny after the shelter and vet clinic they were brought to only recommended euthanasia to their finders. We would discover that in addition to their odd little eyes Clover also had a congenital condition known as pectus excavatum and Sunny a congenital heart defect (benign thankfully!) and boy that would have really sealed their fate twice over, but with the luck that comes with becoming a Tomato cat so too comes the community. Clover successfully underwent two enucleation surgeries and proved to us again what we’ve known from those before her that life’s much more fun without a pair of pesky no good eyeballs and her forever fam certainly knows that well!

So you went ahead and found yourself a baby kitten..

Well it’s very likely you need to leave that baby alone. If they’re in a dangerous spot you can move them to a safer location nearby to wait for mom to return. Mama cats are the best chance kittens have of survival so if the kittens aren’t visibly injured, sick or uncared for (dirty + thin) simply wait, from a distance, for mom’s return.

If they do in fact need help because you studied all the materials and used your best judgment and phoned a friend and they agreed well then scoop them up and keep them warm. THAT’S IT.

Do NOT attempt to feed
Do NOT bathe
DO keep them warm

Important! This may not be the advice you’re given everywhere, but we, the ones who know better than anyone, do NOT recommend removing friendly kittens, of any age, from their environment for adoption or healthy kittens for socialization unless they are in imminent danger. Instead, we recommend you TNR (trap, neuter and return) those kitty cats and all their friends.

Yes kitten season sucks, but you can be a kitty cat hero simply by being informed and educating those around you helping to reduce the number of cats and kittens entering shelters and rescues so that we all have the space and resources available to dedicate to the ones that truly need saving 💖

Last month one of our wonderful fosters chose to celebrate her birthday by donating all of her G's Pizza birthday tips to the Tomato Cats with G’s donating another $100 in honor of her foster baby Sidecar! ✨

Together they were able to raise $500, which is just amazing and goes a long way in helping us rewrite stories for littles just like Sidecar (yes he used to be little and very very very troubled ➡️ but that’s all very far behind him now 🫶)! 💖

Sunny is the happiest sweetest most perfect buddy who is unfazed by most everything, but his corrective eyelid surgery ultimately was not successful and that has made his day to day eye care less comfortable than we’re ok with for him longterm so we’ve decided to move forward with a double enucleation for Sunny.

If you’ve been around for a while y’all know blind cats adapt amazingly well. His sister Clover certainly did and we know Sunny will too! 💗
