🚨 EXTREMELY URGENT – FOSTER(s) NEEDED FOR 7 KITTENS 🚨

We urgently need fosters for 7 all-black kittens in Newark, NJ before more are given away. Time is truly running out and we are trying to get these babies to safety as quickly as possible.

🖤 The kittens are approximately 6 weeks old and are already eating on their own.

🧡 The orange kitten seen in the video has already safely gone to foster, but the remaining 7 black kittens still need placement ASAP.

✨ Foster Info:
• Can be split into groups of 3 and 4
• Supplies and medical care fully covered
• Pickup would be in Newark, NJ
• Foster needed until adoption
• Vetting is done in the Nutley / Fairfield / Caldwell, NJ areas, so fosters local to those areas are preferred if possible — or willing to drive for vet appointments when needed.

We are also actively working with the owner to get the adult cats fixed to help stop this cycle from continuing.

Please, if you can foster — even temporarily — message us immediately. Sharing this post could be what saves these kittens.

🐾 Black kittens are so often overlooked, but they deserve safety and a chance just as much as any other baby.

✨ UPDATE – HAPPY ENDING (AND A BIG THANK YOU) ✨

We are so incredibly grateful to share that a foster stepped up just in time for this sweet mama, who has been named Halo 💛

And it turns out… she really was about to give birth.
She welcomed 3 kittens just a few days after on this past Friday, and then 2 more on Sunday, 5 healthy babies total! 🐾

Mama and all babies are SAFE thanks to an amazing foster, and we truly couldn’t have done this without all of you who shared and supported.

This will FINALLY be her last litter 🙏

As they grow, we will need help caring for this family. Soon there will be 6 mouths to feed, plus vetting for mom and all kittens when the time comes.

💛 If you’re able to help, donations would mean so much to support their food and medical care.

Thank you again to everyone who shared, reached out, and helped get this family to safety.

🚨 SERIOUSLY… NOT ONE PERSON? 🚨

We are honestly shocked.

Our last post about this sweet mama cat who needs a foster within 2 weeks has received ZERO offers to help.
No messages.
No comments.
Not a single foster.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking.

Her owner has now told us she must be gone within 2 weeks, and to make things even more urgent, he believes she may be pregnant again and could give birth any day.

That means she could soon be having babies with nowhere safe to go.

💛 About Mama:
• Extremely friendly and affectionate
• Good with dogs
• Currently unvetted (we will cover vet care)
• Possibly pregnant

🏡 What we need:
A foster who can take her ASAP and bring her to our vet in Union, NJ for vetting.

If she is pregnant, experience with mom cats and kittens would be ideal, but we can also guide you.

⏳ Commitment:
• About 8 weeks if she has babies (until they are weaned)
• We already have another foster ready to take mom after that
• Kittens would remain in foster until adoption

This girl has already raised one litter and deserves a chance at safety. Right now, she has no plan, no foster, and time is running out.

Please don’t let this post be ignored again.

📩 Message us if you can foster.
📢 Please SHARE — the right person may not have seen her yet.

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED – TIME IS RUNNING OUT 🚨

We are once again urgently seeking a foster for this sweet mama cat. We now have less than 2 weeks to find her a safe place.

After our original post, we scheduled her for a spay appointment with our vet—but the owner missed multiple appointments and then went MIA. He has now resurfaced and told us he can no longer keep her and needs her gone within 2 weeks.

At this point, we cannot rely on him to get her the care she needs, so we are stepping in—but we have nowhere for her to go.

💛 Important Update About Mama:
• Extremely friendly and affectionate
• Good with dogs
• Currently unvetted (we will cover vetting)
• May be pregnant again and could give birth at any time

🏡 What We Need:
We are looking for a committed foster who:
• Can take her in ASAP
• Is willing to bring her to our vet in Union, NJ for vetting
• Ideally has experience with pregnant cats / moms & kittens

⏳ Foster Commitment:
• If pregnant: care for mom + babies until they are weaned (~8 weeks)
• We do have another foster lined up for mom after weaning
• Babies will remain in foster until adopted

This sweet girl has already raised one litter—she deserves safety, care, and a fresh start. Right now, she has nowhere to go and time is quickly running out.

📩 Please message us ASAP if you can help or know someone who can.
Even sharing this post could save her life.

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED – WE HAVE LESS THAN 1 WEEK 🚨

We desperately need a foster for this sweet mama cat within the next 7 days.

A few weeks ago we helped a man who posted on Facebook asking for help with 4 kittens and their mom. Thankfully, all four kittens were safely fostered and vetted and have since been adopted. The plan was for the owner to keep mom while we arranged to bring her to our vet for a spay appointment, as he wanted to keep her.

Unfortunately, we just found out he is being evicted within the next week and can no longer keep her. He asked if we can take her, but we have absolutely nowhere for her to go right now.

As you can see from the photos, the living conditions are not ideal. There are ci******es all over the tables and the home environment is not the safest place for her. She deserves better than this.

💛 About Mama:
• Extremely friendly and affectionate
• Good with dogs (she is currently living with one)
• Already raised her babies – now it’s her turn to be safe
• We will arrange her spay appointment and vetting

The foster who took in her kittens has since taken in additional cats and is completely full, so we are desperately searching for anyone who can open their home.

🏡 What we need:
A temporary foster to keep her safe while we finalize vetting and find her a forever

📩 Please message us ASAP if you can help or know someone who can.
Time is running out and we cannot leave her with nowhere to go.

Please share to help us find her a safe place.

💔 Ailana Is Still Waiting… And Now It’s Urgent 💔

We are beyond grateful for the incredible amount of shares, comments, and love Ailana’s posts have received. Truly — your support means everything to us.

But despite all of that… we have not received a single application or inquiry for her.

And now, things are becoming urgent.

Ailana’s foster will be moving in May, which means we are running out of time to secure her a forever home. After more than a year in foster care, this sweet, gentle girl deserves stability — not another transition.

Ailana is affectionate, soft-hearted, and happiest curled up beside her person. She loves tunnels, feather toys, and cozy evenings. She bonds deeply, loves quietly, and would thrive in a home where she can finally feel safe and permanent.

We don’t want her world turned upside down again.
She has waited so patiently. Too patiently.

If you have ever considered adopting… if you have room in your heart and home… please consider Ailana.

If you can’t adopt, please continue sharing — but we truly need more than social media love right now. We need a family.

Please message us or email us, [email protected], if you are interested 💕

Let’s not let Ailana face another change without a home to call her own. 💕

How is Pietro STILL available for adoption?!? So many likes, shares and comments and not one single application!

💔 STILL WAITING FOR HER FOREVER HOME 💔
It’s hard to believe, but Jovie is still waiting for her forever family.
Since we first shared her story, so much has changed… except the part where she gets chosen.
Jovie has now spent TWO Christmases in foster care. Two holiday seasons watching life go by, still hoping her person would come. And somehow, this incredibly sweet girl is still overlooked.
Jovie is approximately 4–5 years old, healthy, gentle, and an absolute love. She adores people, craves affection, and gets along beautifully with both cats and dogs. She’s the kind of cat who just wants to be near you, soaking up love and giving it right back.
She was rescued on a freezing night when she had nowhere else to go — and while she’s been safe and loved in foster care in Passaic, NJ, she deserves so much more than “temporary.” She deserves a home to call her own, a couch to claim, and holidays that don’t end in goodbyes.
As another year moves forward, we’re hoping this is the one where Jovie finally gets her miracle.
If you’re interested in adopting Jovie, please direct message us or email us at [email protected].
She’s waited so patiently. Let’s make sure she doesn’t have to wait through another Christmas. ❤️🐾

🧡 UPDATE: ABEL IS SAFE 🧡
We are beyond relieved to share that a foster was found and Abel was picked up TONIGHT. He is out of that environment and safe.
Abel has started antibiotics for 10 days. After he finishes them and has been off for one week, he will see our vet for a urine recheck and further evaluation of his urinary crystals.
For now — he is safe, warm, and decompressing in a calm home.
If you watch the video, you can truly see the relief in him. He already seems more relaxed, more himself, and so grateful to finally be in a space where he can breathe.
A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to for not only opening up your home to Abel, but also driving to pick him up when he needed help the most. This is what stepping up looks like. 🧡
This outcome happened because people shared, cared, and stepped up. Thank you to everyone who helped amplify his story.
Tonight, we are celebrating the words we all needed to hear:
✨ Abel is safe. ✨
More updates to come — but for now, sweet Abel can rest. 🐾🖤

02/04/2026

Update: foster found and Abel is safe and back with us!

URGENT UPDATE – STILL NO FOSTER FOUND 🚨
THIS IS BEYOND TIME-SENSITIVE
We are absolutely heartbroken to share that Abel still does NOT have a foster.
His situation is rapidly deteriorating. He is peeing blood, suffering from urinary crystals (a very treatable condition), and remains in an environment that is causing him extreme stress. This stress is making him sicker by the day.
Abel is at real risk of being humanely euthanized — not because he is aggressive, not because he is unadoptable, but because he is stressed in a home with very young children and has nowhere else to go.
Let us be very clear:
👉 Abel does not deserve to die from a treatable medical condition.
👉 He needs a calm foster home with NO young kids — immediately.
✔️ Around 4 years old
✔️ Indoor-only
✔️ Good with other cats
✔️ Loving, affectionate, and people-oriented
✔️ Will receive veterinary care once safe
🙏 PLEASE stop scrolling.
If you can foster — even temporarily — you could literally save his life.
If you can’t foster, please share. Sharing matters more than you think.
⚠️ Negative comments will be removed.
Right now, the focus is saving Abel.
📩 PLEASE MESSAGE US ASAP IF YOU CAN HELP.
💔 We are running out of time.
