Rogue (and every other blind cat I've owned or fostered) has never needed any special accommodations. They do the same things as cats who can see, even getting onto high spaces and back down. Don't be afraid just because they're a different, you're missing out!

Meatloaf 🩷 Meatloaf has hypothyroidism and started medication earlier this month after being enrolled in the pediatric hypothyroidism study at UC Davis. I'm happy to report that he has started growing! Okay, I'm also a teeny bit sad about it because he no longer fits in my pocket 🤭

Honestly, Meatloaf is amazing. He runs and plays all day long, has learned his name, keeps up with the big kids without issue, and yesterday he cuddled with me for the first time ever!

Since today is Friday, I'm asking you to consider a $5 Friday donation. Your $5 helps keep Charlie's Army going by covering the cost of medications, supplies, special food, unexpected vet visits, and daily operating costs (I know, boring [but necessary] stuff!).

Who remembers Eden?? My sweet little baby went to foster after weaning from the bottle and now she's back with me and all grown up 🥹😍

Rolo meets a different species 🩷

No, I didn't position them like this; I was taking photos of Rolo when my dog came over.

Yes, my dog wears a muzzle when in the cat area.

No, my dog is not cat aggressive.

Safety first, 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨, no matter how well you think you know your animals.

Sprinkles 🩷 It's hard to believe that Sprinkles turns 4 years old next month. I saved Sprinkles and her mama cat from the shelter in December of 2022. Sprinkles was already paralyzed at just 4 weeks old and she was a little spitfire from the very beginning. We made the decision to amputate both of her hind limbs and tail because she was mutlitating herself 😩

Sprinkles has always been a very grumpy girl and she has hyperesthesia. She's on a high dose of gabapentin daily to help keep her a little bit happier, but I'm still the only person who can handle her without any sort of retaliation. Honestly? She's my girl and I love her... She's pretty much a forever foster (my unofficial 7th tabby) 🥰

I'm just a baaaabbbyyyy

JuJu 🩷 This beautiful (blind) girl is ready to find a home to call her own. She's around 5/6 months old, spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative, and microchipped.

JuJu is shy around new people and loud noises, but warms up beautifully once she gets to know you, your voice, and her surroundings. A quieter home without young children would be the best fit for her. She gets along well with other cats, is playful, and once she knows her space she masters it — you'd never know she was blind!

JuJu is not a cat who seeks a ton of human affection at this time, but as soon as I pick her up she snuggles into me and starts purring. She can be sensitive and become overstimulated by too much full body petting, but loves her head and chin rubs.

We are located in Philadelphia, PA and accept out of state adoptions as long as you can come here to pick up.

How has no one adopted my beautiful baby Rogue (aka RoRo)? Actually... how has no one adopted ANY of my babies? Even my PetFinder listings have under 10 views per cat. No inquiries. No applications.

This is a really difficult situation for rescues to be in and it's going to make the overpopulation cat crisis that much worse. Without adoptions, we can't intake new animals, which means they stay in shelters with a high euthanasia risk or they stay on the streets continuing to procreate.

I understand a big reason for slow adoptions is likely that a lot of people are struggling to put food on the table, and adopting an animal is another mouth to feed along with other expenses like vet bills...

So what do we do?

Hello friends! 🩷 Cutie Patootie Rolo was wondering if around 293 of you would be willing to donate $5 today to help cover the almost $1,500 in vet bills we paid this week... while foster mom took some time away from social media, rescue didn't stop — Rolo had another bandage change, 6 kittens were spayed/neutered/tested, one kitten was sick and needed to see the vet, and we had to pay off a couple of prior vet visits.

$1,500 is a huge amount for a small rescue for Charlie's Army and our bank account is scarily low. Simply put, I can't do this without your suport.

If you can help, please know it is SO appreciated and allows me to ensure that all the kittens in my care get whatever they need.

I also updated our amazon wishlist if you'd prefer that instead! bit.ly/caaramazon

Happy Friday from Scarecrow, who refuses to give up his bottle and be a big kid.

Today is $5 Friday and I'm hoping we can raise $500 to order vaccines, microchips, and medications. Please consider a $5 donation to help me reach this goal!
