❤️🐾 DAY ONE: HENRY IS HOME! 🐾❤️

After everything my sweet boy went through, Henry came home last night and all he wanted to do was sleep. We curled up together and tried, but his siblings didn't recognize him and spent the night growling and hissing. What a night! 😂

But the best part? Waking up with my boy beside me, reaching for my hand and curling his little paw around my finger. 🥹❤️ That moment meant everything.

I also want to say THANK YOU to everyone who donated, shared, prayed, offered advice, and encouraged us. You all helped give Henry the extra care and time he needed at the ER vet. I am forever grateful. To my followers, my community, and my friends—thank you for helping my Henry. ❤️

We're still working through a few things. Henry will eat dry food but refuses wet food, which isn't ideal for his urinary issues. A good friend sent us home with a small bag of Royal Canin Urinary SO dry food, and I'm so thankful because he actually eats it! Unfortunately, it's expensive.

If anyone knows where to find it at a good price, or has a wet urinary food their cat loves, I'm open to suggestions!

Henry is trying to eat, he is using his litter box—number one AND number two—and has enough energy to torment his siblings. 😂

That's my Henry. ❤️🐾

Please keep praying for my boy. We still have a road ahead, but he's home, he's with me, and he's healing—and that is what matters most. ❤️

We fought for Henry together, and I will be forever grateful to every person who helped get him home. Your prayers, kindness, and support carried us through some very scary days. ❤️🐾

And now, as I always have, I will keep fighting for Henry and for every cat out there who needs someone to believe in them, care for them, and give them a chance.

Thank you for helping my boy. Thank you for standing beside us. And thank you for helping me keep saving lives. ❤️🐾

💔 I’m the kind of woman who will bend over backwards to help you, your cat or dog. But right now, I’m the one asking for help.

For the last three years, I’ve poured everything I have into building this rescue to help my neighborhood and the neighborhoods surrounding mine. I’ve helped countless stray and feral cats and tried to be there whenever someone needed help.

But last night, my sweet cat, Henry, needed me.

Henry is only two years old. He was rushed to the ER with a urinary blockage. The blockage was cleared, but he still needs monitoring and cannot yet urinate on his own. The vets recommended 2–3 days of care, but we could only afford 12 hours.

Those 12 hours are up at 5:30 tonight, and Henry needs more time.

The vet cannot accept donations directly. They suggested a GoFundMe, but time is running out, and those funds won’t come quickly enough.

If you’d like to verify Henry’s situation, you can call:

🏥 Veterinary Emergency Center of East Volusia
📞 386-761-1911
Account: Heather Byrne (B-Y-R-N-E)
Patient: Henry

The first estimate was as high as $4,500, but I’m not asking anyone to cover that. I’ve listed the rescue’s Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, and Zelle below. I’ll also post the final receipts, including the $1,182 we paid this morning.

We’ve already maxed out our CareCredit helping other cats, and I still have an entire rescue depending on me.

I know this is a lot, and I’m sorry to have to ask. But Henry is my boy, he’s only two years old, and I need to give him every chance I can.

If you can help, I will be forever grateful. If you can’t, I completely understand. Please consider sharing. ❤️🐾

They don't need to be the perfect cat. They just need to be someone's perfect cat. ❤️🐾

Please like. Please share. Please consider adopting. And if you can, please give. Together, we can give these beautiful babies the happy endings they deserve. 🏡🐱❤️

P.S. see if you can find our huge surprise we found out this week! 🐱

Update: All four have found amazing homes, thank you evryone for helping them!

💔 Four Cats. One Devastating Loss. Four Hearts Still Waiting for a Home.

I’m sitting here driving these four beautiful one-year-old cats to the rescue, and my heart is absolutely breaking.

These babies are leaving the only home they have ever known. 💔

Their mom suddenly passed away on August 2nd, and I was asked to help find them loving forever homes. I promised I wouldn’t give up on them—and I’m not.

Thankfully, I’m partnering with Cat 6 Purricane, who will help me continue the search for their forever families and help care for them while they wait. ❤️

And let me tell you something…

These four cats are AMAZING.

🐾 Pumpkin — Our darker copper-orange boy. He can be a little scared at first, but once he warms up, all he wants is love and attention. Give him a little time, and he’ll melt your heart.

🐾 Skittles — Our beautiful tortie girl and an absolute BALL OF FUN! Give her a toy and she will entertain herself all day long. She’s playful, independent, and full of personality.

🐾 Marshmallow — Our flame-point Siamese boy. This guy is a TOTAL cuddle bug. He loves being petted and just wants to be close to his person.

🐾 Roscoe — Our youngest, fluffy butter-orange boy. He’s understandably scared because his entire world has changed. But do you know what happens once he gets comfortable? Within about an hour, he warms right up. He wants to be brushed, sit beside you on the couch, or curl up in bed with you and watch TV. 🥹❤️

That’s really all these four want.

They want to feel safe again.

They want someone to love them.

They want a home where they can spend the rest of their lives knowing that they are wanted and cherished.

💞 Roscoe and Pumpkin are bonded.
💞 Skittles and Marshmallow are bonded.

They can be separated if necessary, but if we can find homes for either bonded pair together, that would be absolutely wonderful.

I know they will adjust. I know they will eventually be okay.

But right now?

They've already lost their mom.

And now they've lost their home, too.

As I drop them off at the rescue today, I can't help but wonder what they're thinking. They don't understand why everything they've ever known is suddenly gone.

I just want the best for them. I want them to have a soft place to land and someone who will show them that their story doesn't end with loss.

Maybe their new beginning starts with you. ❤️

If Pumpkin, Skittles, Marshmallow, or Roscoe catches your eye—or maybe your heart says two would be even better—please reach out.

And if you can't adopt, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST. 🙏

One share could be the one that puts these four beautiful cats in front of their forever family.

They've lost enough.

Let's help them find home again. 🐾❤️

🚨 BOTTLE FEEDER NEEDED — FIVE KITTENS NEED HELP! 🚨 located in Ormond Beach

We’re at it again, and these five tiny babies need some temporary help. ❤️🐱

We’re looking for an experienced bottle feeder/foster for five kittens who are roughly 2–4 weeks old and are still very much dependent on the bottle.

When the call came in, we were told they were already eating solids. Unfortunately, once they arrived, we discovered that isn’t the case. Two or three are starting to eat a little mush, but they still strongly prefer the bottle, while the other two are still completely bottle-dependent.

We are asking for temporary foster help until we can make space here at Avenue Cats Rescue or one of our partnering rescues can take them in.

We are two rescues coming together to help these five little ones, and right now, we just need someone experienced who can give them the bottle feedings, warmth, care, and patience they need while they transition to mush and eventually solid food. ❤️

If you have experience bottle feeding kittens and transitioning them from the bottle to mush, please reach out to Avenue Cats Rescue.

Even temporary help could make a huge difference for these babies. 🙏🐾

Please share! Someone out there may be able to help these five little souls. ❤️
