My healthy Livie girl really needed a buddy her own age to learn what it’s like to be a kitten. I made the decision to move her and my three little monsters to my wonderful amazing foster queen Brianne’s (Friends of Ralphie Foster) in Graham!

Livie was not a fan of my kids, did a lot of nervous scurrying to hide when the dogs barked or the kids were playing or when the vacuum came out - which is all the time with three dogs and two cats and two kids. I don’t want a cat that’s so nervous that she hides all day and it’s not fair to her to just expect that she deals with the stress of that for her entire life. To be honest, it was never the plan to keep her. Even if she was perfectly fine, I want her to have a kitten bestie she can bond with and be placed with. Shes so so special but if I kept every special animal that came through my home I would have had to quit rescue long ago.

Livie has been an incredible ambassador for TNR and her miracle story has helped fix 8 female cats and 3 males AND continue to feed them every day. That’s thousands of cats in those 8 cats lifetimes that have been prevented from suffering life on the streets. She has made a massive impact in her short life and I’m so thankful I found her. She’s not going anywhere yet. We are still a ways away from spaying her and she will not be leaving our care until after that’s done and she’s healed from that surgery. She’s not available for adoption at this time. Believe me when I say it will have to be the most magical perfect fit ever. I won’t even discuss it right bow though. But it will be somewhere with a great relationship with us where we can get updates often!

Howloween- Mazey Update!

Mazey’s eye is doing wonderful and healing so well! She does have an ophthalmologist appointment on Tuesday and we are hoping for a perfect report.

Once we know the status of her eye, we will be able to post her for adoption! Her brother, Brisket is available and we are currently accepting applications for him!

🐾 Meet Brisket! 🐾

Who better than to write his bio than his foster mama! Here’s what she has to say about Brisket!

This sweet, goofy boy has been our foster for the past couple of weeks, and watching his confidence grow has been incredible! He came to us extremely shy and scared, but thanks to our resident pup, he’s slowly coming out of his shell. ❤️

Brisket has done AMAZING with our kids (ages 3–14), dogs, and cats! He’s a curious, laid-back, lovable goofball who enjoys playing outside, stealing stuffed animals, carrying around his favorite squeaky Pop-Tart, and taking naps wherever he’s comfortable.

He’s doing great with kennel training and potty training, and we’re still working on basic commands and leash walking. Although, selective hearing, dramatic head tilts, and turning into a literal brick during walks are currently his specialties. 😂

Despite his future as a big boy, Brisket is a gentle, quiet sweetheart who loves having a doggy companion. We’d love to see him in a home with another dog to help him continue building confidence, he’s also wonderful with cats and kids!

Brisket is adaptable, silly, sweet, and full of personality. He needs a patient, loving family to help him continue blossoming into the amazing dog we know he is. 🖤🐶

Brisket is about 15 weeks and sweet as absolute pie. He’s going to be a LARGE boy and will need a family committed to training and structure to set him up for success. Brisket is neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, and vaccinated. As a reminder we are not a first come first serve style rescue. We focus on the best match for the dogs and the families interested in adopting them! If you have any specific questions please reach out.

Well today is the best Monday ever!

I went to feed Livies colony after I dropped my kids off at school this morning. I was walking back to my car and saw a little orange!! I haven’t seen him in at least 2 weeks. I was so relieved, so I ran back home grabbed a trap and another can of wet food and set a trap with a spring so I could pull when the correct cat went in!

Thankfully, all of the adults ate the wet food and were full from the first time I came. I set the trap, walked back to my car and I see BOTH orange babies! I haven’t seen the second orange one in almost a month! 😭

I saw an adult go in the trap then I saw the kitten go in and I figured one is better than none so I closed the trap. When I went to look who I got - it was both of the orange babies. I have never been so excited and have never had that perfect of luck to get the last two remaining cats.

They are approx 16 weeks old (not same litter as Livie) and they are not happy at all with me. They are both females I think and they both have extra toesies like their mama! They get spayed this week and I already have a landing spot for them! 🧡

Livie says “Hi”. She also says “yuck what is a puppy”. She met our medical foster puppy and did well! She also found the upstairs and it’s so funny watching her tiny body climb up and down the stairs. Livie’s newest obsessed - with playing and in with our shoes.

Meet Mazey 🥹💗💫🌸

We are currently trying to get her the medical care she needs in hopes of saving her eye and preserving her vision.

Mazey came to us from a site of over 100 dogs. She was supposed to come to us on a fast adventure to a new forever home but a few days after she was in foster, she suddenly became lethargic and wouldn’t open her eyes. Her awesome foster knew just what to do and got her to the emergency vet to figure out what we could do for her!! She did have a fever but her bloodwork came back unremarkable so the vet decided to try eye drops and pain meds to get her comfortable. The following day with no improvement, we were able to get her into our new vet in Lewis County who gave us some additional antibiotics to hopefully help her with the ability to open her eyes - more so the right eye so we could SEE what was happening in there. Fortunately, the new med helped her eye start to open, unfortunately, we see a cloudy eye which isn’t ideal. At this time we are doing everything we can and throwing everything at this to try and get her eye to heal so she can regain her sight. She currently can’t see out of the cloudy eye. We don’t know exactly what the road ahead looks like yet. If she does lose vision in her eye, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there and make sure she has everything she needs to adapt, thrive and still live a BIG, adventure filled, and beautiful life. But for now, we’re putting all of our energy into trying to save her eye. So far, our running total for her bills just under $1000, and we still have a ways to go to make sure we can do EVERYTHING to get this eye back in working shape. We are currently waiting for hear back out when we can get in to an ophthalmologist and that appointment will be $400 to be seen, not including any meds 💫

Wolfheart Fitness and I are raising funds to help cover Mazey’s veterinary care, and if you’d like to be a part of her story, you can donate directly through the Givebutter link 🔗 💗💫🌸

No amount is too small & donating isn’t the only way to help this sweet girl! Sharing this post and getting Mazey’s story in front of more people means just as much 💗

Meet Mazey girl! She came to us after a large spay neuter clinic at a property in Lewis County. A few days after she came into care she started to really guard her eyes and our amazing foster brought her to the ER vet. We did bloodwork and it told us basically nothing. The vet gave her some antibiotic eye drops and pain meds in hopes to relieve some of her pain so she would relax and we could actually even see her eyes.

Fast forward to the next day, she wasn’t improving and her conjunctiva in her right eye started to swell and become very painful. We brought her to our vet out in Lewis County who gave her some injectable antibiotics and oral antibiotics. Thankfully that helped us with her swollen eye and her pain started to subside and her eye opened so we could actually see it the following day! Unfortunately, we see a really cloudy eye - which is not what we hoped for.

We don’t see any obvious signs of trauma so assume that she had an infection that decided to attack her eyes which is so so unfortunate. Her left eye seems to be responding perfectly to the antibiotics. We are continuing her antibiotics but have ointment instead of drops for both eyes now, we also got a different oral antibiotic, a supplement to help her body heal, and corneal repair drops for her right eye. It seems to be improving, but still very cloudy. We are hoping that whatever it is can be reversed and that we can get her sight back. She can’t see anything out of that right eye at this moment - but we are doing everything we can to save her sight!

She’s such a special girl, we are happy she’s with us and can get the care she needs!! We have a fundraiser posted on our Instagram but will post and pin it here next!

Thanks to everyone who has already donated from our Instagram post!

Tongue out Tuesday.

Livie said to tell you her nose is basically fully healed and that her bu****le is all perfect and normal again.

Never did I think I would have to do bu****le checks on the kittens in care every morning but here we are. Little Manx Monster also has a perfect bu****le. All bu****les in this house are well! Yay!

🌟I want to be crystal clear that we did not fund this operation in any way shape or form🌟

When I posted my last post about these dogs and the spay neuter clinic, it was never in an attempt to take credit for setting it up or making it happen. Volunteering for the morning then transporting a few dogs and making by a phone call to a partner group to get some dogs transferred is nothing compared to what Humane Animal Rescue Partners of Washington- HARP of WA went through this past year to get this clinic set up. It’s NOT an easy task in any way shape or form to set up a clinic but a clinic of this size and on this number of dogs was a huge undertaking. Hours and hours and hours went into the set up of this clinic and none of that was my doing. I just showed up for a half day to help.

They funded this operation which when I say was massive, it was massive. They saw a huge need and said, we can and we will figure out a way to make it happen and boy did they!

I’d never met the founder of HARP before Saturday and when I say she changed this owners life, I really mean it. She cares about the wellness of the dogs and their owner and without her this wouldn’t have happened.
