Most of the time when we post pictures of our pets or kids, we’re looking for that perfect shot. But let’s be real… life isn’t perfect, and neither are we. And honestly? That’s what makes it fun.

So instead of picture-perfect, let’s see the real stuff—the blurry cat mid-jump, the dog with the derpy face, the kid with spaghetti all over their head. Those are the moments that make us smile the most.

Drop your imperfectly perfect photos below(blurry, cropped wrong, eyes closed) if it's imperfect let's embrace it—cats, dogs, kids (yep, they count as pets too 😆).

Love y’all. Have a wonderfully unpolished day! 💕🐾

Just a few pictures of the gang!

✨ Weekly Update from Avenue Katz Rescue ✨

Miss Marsha
Miss Marsha, who was attacked by a pit bull earlier this week, is doing as well as she can right now. Her appetite has returned, and while she tries to walk a little, she mostly prefers to rest. She doesn’t seem to want to put much pressure on her back legs, so we got her a set of little steps to make it easier for her to get up on the bed.

For the first time in her life, Miss Marsha is getting to be a true house cat—lounging in the AC, stretched out on the bed, and even watching TV. Her main focus right now is simply healing and relaxing.

We sent pictures to our vet and are waiting to hear back on how they think she’s healing. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like anything is broken or punctured—so no x-rays are needed. The biggest concern now is preventing infection and helping her wounds close properly. We don’t currently have funds for surgery, so we’re doing everything we can with what we have.

My hope is to keep Marsha inside forever. The truth is, she’s a colony cat—and not just any colony cat. She’s the female leader of the colony. Her little brother and even her “boyfriend” have been wandering the neighborhood looking for her. Today, I’ll take her out in a stroller so she can see her colony—and they can see she’s okay. To some, it may sound silly, but this is colony life: they form hierarchies, bonds, and families. And Marsha is family. 💜

🐾 Kitten Updates
Eugene’s seven kittens are doing much better—they finally have consistent bowel movements again, and the texture is back to normal. The downside? They’re going a lot more now—possibly from probiotics or the antibiotics. They have just two more days of antibiotics left. We also treated them for coccidia, so it’s been a long week of meds—twice a day for seven kittens, plus Marsha’s three times a day. I feel like I haven’t left the house in over a week!

I’m so thankful for everyone sending their love and support. I can’t wait until these kittens are ready to be adopted—there are already some wonderful people interested in them. 🐱💞

🌹 Miss Rose
Miss Rose had some interest, but no one has submitted an application yet. She’s still just a baby—under five months old—playful, loving, and delightfully quirky. She gets along with the older cats and the kittens too. Honestly, she’d be perfect to adopt alongside one of Eugene’s kittens once they’re ready. That duo would be so fun and loving together.

🐾 Mama Hemingway
Mama Hemingway is on the road to recovery. She’s gaining weight, and her spay and vaccinations are scheduled for the 10th. She’s still a little fearful of men and doors closing, but she’s learning. She’s also finally rediscovering her youth—playing with the kittens, enjoying freedom from the cage, and indulging in whatever food she wants, anytime. I’m so grateful Animal Control gave her back to me. She’s safe now, and I can’t wait to help her find her forever home.

💜 Thank You For Your Support
This past week has been a marathon of meds, vet visits, and caregiving—but I couldn’t do it without your love and encouragement.

Meet the Fosters! Since space is limited and I know my limit, I have added some fabulous fosters to help care for the kittens, mom has already been TNRd! Also no stacking cages here, free roaming and daily socializing! We are also prepping a new space for more kittens and adult cats. The calls don't stop so we must grow! Yes the dad's are being TNRd too! If you would like to become a foster please msg me and we can see if fostering is right for you and your family. If fostering isn't an option for you right now and you still want to volunteer, we are looking for volunteers to drive to county animal control Tuesday mornings for TNR drop off and pick up. Send me a message if this is something you would like to help out with. Thank you all for your continued love and support for us and the cats!!

🚨🙏 URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED 🙏🚨

✨ Marsha Update ✨

Last night, after receiving a high initial quote that only covered an x-ray, we knew it wasn’t reasonable to move forward without making sure Marsha got the antibiotics and pain medication she truly needed. After talking things through with the vet and asking a lot of questions, we felt confident in our decision.

Right now, Marsha is home on antibiotics and pain meds until we can see our own vet on Tuesday or Wednesday. Her wounds were cleaned but purposely left open so infection doesn’t get trapped inside. She does have cartilage and bone showing on the back of her ankles, along with a puncture wound on her side.

We’re hopeful that by then we can raise enough to either get an x-ray or, if needed, cover surgery to close her wounds. Thankfully, Marsha is a big, strong girl, and we’re praying her size helped protect her from major organ damage.

She’s still scared and hurting, but she’s holding on. Please keep Marsha in your thoughts and prayers. If you’d like to help, donations are deeply appreciated so we can make sure Marsha gets the care she needs. 💜

**Update: So far she has wounds to the back of her legs and puncture wounds that will need to be surgically closed. They want to do x-rays to make sure her organs and bones are ok, I posted the first quotes this is just for x-rays and meds, if they find more from the X-rays result then we will go from there. This does not show surgery to close wounds either, that is depending on X-ray results.**

Tonight my heart is breaking. Our colony was attacked by a large pit bull, and my sweet Marsha was caught. When we got to her, she was pinned against the fence, bleeding with puncture wounds, and now she cannot stand. She is my shadow, my fat baby, and one of the closest to my heart. 💔

We are rushing her to the emergency vet right now. The bleeding isn’t stopping, and this is very urgent. Please, I am begging for prayers for Marsha’s life and recovery.

This is our second emergency visit in less than a week, and the costs are overwhelming. If you are able, any donation—no matter how small—would mean the world to us and help cover the ER bills. Every dollar goes directly to saving Marsha and continuing care for the others.

I will continue to update everyone on this post and I will post a copy of the bill so everyone can see.

✨ Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support Avenue Katz Rescue and believes in the work we’re doing for the cats. ✨

Your donations for the kittens have made such a difference! They’re full of energy, finally putting on weight, and thriving thanks to your kindness.

Mama Hemingway is also gaining weight and will be spayed in just a week. She’s still a little nervous and has some insecurities after all she’s been through, but the kittens bring her so much comfort. Even though they aren’t her biological babies, she treats them like her own—cuddling, grooming, and healing right alongside them. ❤️

Thank you again for the generous donations of food and toys. They bring so much joy to these sweet souls. Life has been very busy with caring for all the kittens and cats, but I am so grateful for the love and support you continue to show.

Please enjoy the pictures below of the cats and kittens enjoying the gifts you’ve given them! 🐾💝

Meet Rose, a beautiful five-month-old kitten bursting with energy and curiosity. She interacts well with adult cats and adores kittens, making her an ideal addition to a multi-cat household. Rose is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and ready for adoption. To arrange a meeting with Rose, please send a message to initiate the adoption application process and schedule a meet-and-greet in our cat room.

**Update**
Update on Jeanine and the Kittens 💕
Last night we had to rush Jeanine to the emergency vet. She was so dehydrated that they started fluids right away. They also ran a f***l test, but the results were inconclusive—most likely because it was more liquid than substance.

The vet advised that Jeanine and the other six kittens start their first round of Drontal today, along with antibiotics for them all. We’ll re-weigh them before the second round, hoping they gain strength and weight.

Please keep Jeanine and all the kittens in your prayers. 🙏 I couldn’t imagine losing one of Eugene’s babies—or any of my kittens. They are so near and dear to my heart, and every single one of them deserves the chance at a full, healthy, and happy life. ❤️

Thank you all for your love, prayers, and encouragement. It’s what keeps me going through the hardest days.

We have made the decision to seek emergency veterinary care for the kitten in the most critical condition at the South Daytona animal hospital. Although some of the kittens are adapting well, eating, playing, and running around, they are all experiencing some degree of diarrhea. Jeanine, being the smallest, is experiencing the most severe diarrhea, with straight liquid stool. The deworming treatment has caused significant stress on the kittens, as they were infested with multiple types of worms, which their small bodies could not handle. I hope to obtain a diagnosis and treatment plan for the affected kitten, which will allow me to treat the remaining six kittens accordingly, avoiding the need for individual veterinary bills. I pray that the veterinary staff provide guidance, expertise, and compassion in caring for these kittens.
