The hardest part of rescue is deciding whether we can afford to say yes.

Yes to the injured kitten. Yes to the senior cat who needs a dental. Yes to the special-needs case with a long list of veterinary needs. Yes to the cat who has nowhere else to go.

Those decisions get a little easier when we know what support we can count on every single month.

That’s why our Second Chance Champions program matters so much.

Right now, 89 people are signed up as monthly donors, and we’d love to grow that number to 150. Even just $5 a month from enough people would give us a much more reliable safety net for the cats who need us most.

So we’re asking for a high five. 🖐️

Just $5 a month.

You don’t have to cover an entire surgery or pay one giant vet bill. You can simply be one of the people quietly helping us say, “Yes. We can take them.”

Help us build the kind of steady support that lets us keep saying yes when the next cat needs a second chance. Become a Second Chance Champion: sheridancatrescue.org/champions

Late summer has entered its villain era.

Our A/C motor has officially died, and to make things extra fun, it’s past warranty. So now we need to raise $1,300 for a replacement.

As you can see, Jonas has volunteered to personally attack the situation. Unfortunately, attacking a Churu with maximum chaos energy does not repair HVAC systems. We checked.

If you’d like to help us get the cool air flowing again, we would be so grateful. Every dollar helps get us closer to that $1,300 goal and keeps our cats, kittens, and humans a whole lot more comfortable through the late-summer heat.

Donations can be made at sheridancatrescue.org/donate

Thank you for always showing up for our cats, even when the weather (and our A/C) is being deeply disrespectful. 🥵

It’s Featured Feline Friday, and this week belongs to Mabel!

Mabel is a 6-year-old torbie who is basically made of sweetness, cuddles, and very strong opinions about how much affection she should be receiving.

When Mabel came to us in April, both of her eardrums were ruptured from some kind of past trauma or infection. She appeared to be completely deaf. Over time, though, we’ve noticed that Mabel seems to be responding to more and more sounds. We don’t know how much hearing she has regained, or whether it will continue to improve, but Mabel doesn’t seem particularly concerned about any of that.

She’s far more interested in being loved.

Mabel is gentle, affectionate, litter box trained, spayed, and gets along beautifully with other cats. She would do best in a patient home where she can feel safe and comfortable, especially since she may not always hear you coming.

She's spending the weekend at Petco in Sheridan. Come meet Mabel and see why we’re all a little bit obsessed with her!

We first met Ivy when she and her sister Fern were just a few months old, two little barn kittens who needed a second chance. When Ivy was spayed, the veterinarian found one ovary… but could not find the second. She searched as long as it was safely possible, but eventually had to stop. Maybe Ivy had only been born with one. Or maybe the other was hiding somewhere it absolutely did not belong.

Spoiler: it was hiding.

Ivy stayed with us for a year and a half before she was finally adopted. And for years, she had a home. A person who loved her. A place where she belonged.

A couple of months ago, Ivy’s person moved and couldn’t take her along.

So at seven years old, Ivy came back to the rescue. And she is not doing well here.

Since returning, Ivy has gone into heat twice. We know because Ivy *sings the song of her people* at a volume that could probably be heard from the parking lot. We can live with that. Our phone conversations may be a little interesting, but that isn’t the problem.

The problem is the other cats.

Our neutered males are thoroughly confused by Ivy’s hormones. The females are territorial. Ivy has become a target from both directions, and now she spends most of her time hiding.

She doesn’t understand why the home she had is gone. She doesn’t understand why the other cats won’t leave her alone. She just knows that the safest place is somewhere no one can see her.

Our only way to completely protect her here would be to keep her alone in a kennel, and we desperately do not want that for her.

Ivy needs an only-cat home as soon as possible.

Yes, she will occasionally go into heat. She cannot become pregnant, but because that elusive ovarian tissue remains, she may still have heat cycles. With no other cats around and the stress of shelter life gone, we expect those periods to be much easier for her to manage.

The hardest part is that Ivy is now so frightened that she usually won’t even come out to meet visitors. And it is incredibly hard to get adopted when no one ever gets the chance to see you.

So we need you to see her here.

Please share Ivy’s story. Somewhere out there is a quiet home with no other cats and a person who won’t mind the occasional dramatic serenade.

Ivy waited a year and a half for her first home. We really, really don’t want her to have to wait that long again.

Remember Tiger, the tiny kitten who came through our front door having a grand mal seizure?

Well, Tiger would like everyone to know that she is THRIVING.

We started her on phenobarbital, and she continued having seizures for another three very long days while the medication built up in her system. And then… they stopped.

Tiger has been completely seizure-free ever since.

Even better, she appears to have regained her vision! She can see, she can play, and she can navigate the world around her in a way we honestly weren't sure she'd ever be able to do.

Now, is there some permanent brain damage? Oh, absolutely. There is not much thinking happening inside that adorable little skull. But what Tiger lacks in higher-order cognitive processing, she makes up for with approximately 400% more sweetness than the average kitten. She is happy, affectionate, and still an absolute purr machine with WAY too many toes.

And because every slightly wonky kitten deserves a slightly wonky best friend, we'd like to introduce Squiggy.

Squiggy is about Tiger's age and size and has his own medical challenges. He has chronic sinusitis and potentially a nasopharyngeal polyp, which means he sneezes. A lot.

Tiger, whose standards for roommates apparently do not include "must not blow snot all over the walls," couldn't care less.

The two of them have become quite the adorable little pair, and we're so glad they have each other while they grow, heal, and continue being monitored by our veterinary team.

Neither Tiger nor Squiggy is ready to go anywhere just yet. Both will be with us for a while as we continue treating their conditions and figuring out what their futures will look like.

But considering where Tiger started, we'll happily take a future that includes a seizure-free, seeing, sweet-as-can-be little ding-dong and her chronically sneezing best friend. ❤️

If you'd like to help support Tiger and Squiggy, and all of the other special-needs cats who need a little more time, medicine, and care before they're ready for their next chapter, donations toward their care are always deeply appreciated.

82 toe beans. Zero dignity.

These tiny polydactyl disasters have been blessed with an unreasonable number of toes and absolutely no idea how to use them responsibly.

Their current hobbies include wrestling, causing general mayhem, and waiting until *immediately after bath time* to p**p on each other.

Look at those sweet little faces. Not a single regret among them.

Demi doesn’t ask for your heart. She just purrs, looks up at you, and suddenly she has it.

She is only 10 weeks old, and she is one of those rare little souls who seems to connect with every person she meets. Her purr is tiny and constant, and somehow it crawls right into your soul and settles down like it has always lived there.

Which makes it especially hard to look at what she's been through.

We don't know what happened to Demi before she came to us, but half of her tail has been completely degloved. The vertebrae are exposed, and all of the surrounding tissue is dead. Thankfully, the injury is old, she is not currently in pain, and there is no active infection. The damaged portion simply needs to be amputated.

But Demi is so emaciated that she isn't strong enough for anesthesia yet.

So for now, surgery can wait. Demi's assignment is to eat, grow, and continue charming every person who comes within ten feet of her. She's getting extra meals, extra snacks, and more love than she probably knows what to do with while we help her gain enough weight to safely have her tail amputated.

If you'd like to help this very special little girl, donations toward Demi's surgery and kitten food are greatly appreciated. For the moment, every can of food is one step closer to getting her healthy, strong, and ready to leave that dead tail behind.

Some stories just hurt.

Today, three tiny 2-week-old kittens came through our doors after their mother was found dead underneath a trailer. She had been attacked by a dog.

They are far too young to understand why their mom isn't coming back. They only know that they're hungry, they need warmth, and they're looking for the comfort that should still be coming from her.

So tonight, we're doing our best to be that for them.

Kitten season has stretched our supplies incredibly thin, and these three arrived at a time when we especially need help. We urgently need cans of KMR to keep their little bellies full, and our shelves are also nearly bare of canned and dry kitten food for all of the other growing kittens already depending on us.

If you've been looking for a way to help, this is one of those moments when even something small makes an immediate difference. A can of formula becomes a bottle for a hungry baby. A case of kitten food means we don't have to worry about what we're going to feed everyone tomorrow.

Three kittens lost their mama today. We can't change that part of their story. But with your help, we can make sure the rest of it is filled with full bellies, warm beds, and the chance to grow up.

Thank you for always showing up when the tiniest ones need you most. 🧡

We're LONG overdue for a Cordelia update!

You'll be pleased to know that Cordelia has officially retired from active duty as Head of Homeland Security.

Now that her kittens are grown and she no longer has tiny lives to defend at all costs, Cordelia has moved into our Shy Room, where she has plenty of space, other cats for company, and her very own catio for exploring and sunbathing.

And without kittens to protect or the stress of living in a kennel, we're finally getting to know the real Cordelia.

She's calm. She's curious. She's still a little suspicious of our motives, but she will now very politely eat a Churu directly from a staff member's hand without attempting to remove the hand along with it.

Is she snuggly? Absolutely not.

Does she trust us yet? Also no.

But we're taking things at Cordelia's pace, and so far, no human limbs—or lives—have been lost.

Considering where we started, we're calling that tremendous progress. ❤️

Our tiny airplane-eared momma is slowly learning that she doesn't have to be quite so brave anymore. And we'll happily keep bribing her with Churu for as long as it takes. (You can send her more at sheridancatrescue.org/chewy)
