RESQCATS HAS A LOT OF KITTENS LOOKING FOR HOMES!
I have never seen a year like this...so so many kittens. It has truly been the most challenging season in our 25 years history. Shelters and rescues are on overload. Even good Samaritans are stepping up to take in strays and litters when they are told by many organizations to "put them back." Rescues just can't let that happen so we are all meeting the challenge to help every single one we can.
But I need your help....I am not asking for funding...I am asking for open hearts and adopters of some wonderful kittens and moms looking for homes.
Adoption is a wonderful thing...and it truly makes the biggest difference for all of us who want to help the animals. Each time a space opens because one gets a home...we can help another!
How can you resist some of these faces?! Inquire through Messenger (Jeffyne Telson or RESQCATS) or call (805)452-4185. Or email me through the website: www.RESQCATS.org.

SWEETIE IS READY FOR A HOME!
It's hard to believe but this one year old mother cat is still looking for a home! Over 40 kittens, including her six, have found homes while she continues to wait at RESQCATS.
This beautiful tortoiseshell cat is a sweetheart. She loves to have her back scratched...hikes her entire back-end up in the air and wiggles, wiggles, wiggles. And unlike most cats, she loves a good belly rub.
She is playful, likes toys and is romping up and down the driftwood ramp that leads to an upper shelf in her enclosure while teasing the kitten next to her. I wish she had gone home with one of her kittens, but there were no takers.
Sweetie has been ready to go home for several weeks. Her enclosure is a space that could be saving more cats...and believe me, there are so many that need help this season.
She has had a vet exam and tested negative for Felv/FIV. She is vaccinated, wormed, spayed and micro-chipped.
We think she would prefer to be the only cat in the home.
She is ready for approved adopters to visit her here at RESQCATS! A rare opportunity to see the sanctuary. You can reach out on Facebook in a comment or message Jeffyne Telson or RESQCATS.
Or call (805)563-9424. Or reach out through our website: www.RESQCATS.org

SWEETIE IS STILL LOOKING FOR A HOME!
This sweetheart of a cat is ready to go home. She raised a family of six after delivering them under a house. When it got cold and rainy, the young girl who discovered Sweetie and her family brought them to RESQCATS.
While kittens fly out the door, the moms are often overlooked. But this one is a real gem and should NOT be overlooked. She is a gorgeous tortoiseshell with golden eyes who loves tummy rubs and back scratches. We think she will be the kind of kitty that meets you at the door. She must have had an owner at some point because she is so social. But she wasn't spayed and there was no microchip. RESQCATS took care of that...she has had a vet exam, both FVRCP vaccinations, is wormed, spayed, tested for Felv/FIV and micro-chipped.
Let me remind you, she has a nice enclosure here at RESQCATS...all to herself. And while that is nice for her to enjoy, it is an enclosure that once empty will be a place for me to save others...and many others do need RESQCATS help.
Contact me here or call RESQCATS at (805)563-9424 or visit the website to send an email inquiry. Sweetie and I will get right back to you! Promise!

Like all the cats of House Of Nekko, Mr Cookie is an honorary FIP Warrior who will use his cuteness to help encourage more humans to help end FIP for all cats.
Please consider joining FIP Warriors Club with small monthly donations. We will even send you a free Warrior t-shirt!

A year after saying goodbye, I decommissioned Čhočhó's chair so people can use it again (removed the cat blanket [from ResQcats], cat toys, and gave the upholstery a good cleaning). 🪑 Tiger Lily was the first to insist the people chair should be the cat chair, but it was Čhočhó who ultimately convinced me. Tiger Lily seems happy with her basket in the window, so I think she'll be fine with my decision. 🪑 Neither she nor Mitsou have entered Shark, but he's still swimming around the gallery in case they eventually decide it's okay. 🦈 ̌hočhóinthesharkbed ̌hočhó ̌hočhómeanscute

It's Wednesday, friends! Cheers to halfway through the work week 🍻 Have some kittens to keep you going!

(These babies are adoptable through ResQcats 💕)
It's kitten season! Well, in Santa Barbara, kitten season is twice yearly, but still! ✨

So what is "kitten season?" Kitten season is a catch-all term for the warmer months of the year when feral colonies of cats are producing kittens. ☀️ Because Southern California remains relatively warm throughout the year, our kitten season is bi-annual. A cat can become pregnant at as young as four months old, which is why kittens are often spayed/neutered right before you adopt them (at the 8 week mark.)

This is why we encourage spaying & neutering all cats. We'll be the first to admit that kittens are ✨the cutest✨, but we want to make sure that all kittens have happy, healthy homes to call their own! If you have any questions about spaying & neutering, please let us know. 😊 If you're interested in ways you can help and volunteer for cats & kittens in our community, ResQcats & ASAP Animal Shelter Assistance Program are great places to start! Cheers! 💕
Happy Friday and thank you to everyone who’s donating so generously to our countywide food pantries and through our Amazon Wish List (care4paws.org/drive). A huge thanks to our awesome food-pantry hosts, including Plaza Deli, Dioji K-9 Resort & Athletic Club, Santa Barbara, Advanced Veterinary Specialists, Montecito Pet Shop, La Cumbre Feed, George Pet Shop, Santa Barbara County Animal Services, Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society & DAWG, ASAP Animal Shelter Assistance Program, Foodbank SB, Animal Medical Clinic, Santa Maria Valley Humane Society ResQcats and Healthy Pet. We truly appreciate you!
