: Meet Prudence 💛

Prudence came to us a couple of months ago, exhausted and matted, but lovingly nursing five tiny kittens. The note that arrived with her read:

"She is in sad shape, her fur is so matted, big hunks have fallen out… She needs a bath real bad. Someone abandoned her and it is obvious. She is very sweet and a good mother."

And sweet she is. Not only did Prudence raise her own kittens with love and care, but when she moved into our kitten room, she adopted more than 20 other babies—letting them nurse, grooming them, and giving every one of them a mother’s love.

Now it’s her turn.

Prudence is ready to be the baby in someone else’s home. She deserves soft blankets, gentle brushes, and all the love she so freely gave to others.

She’ll be at the Sheridan, WY Petco this weekend—come meet this incredible mama cat and see if your home might be the one she’s been waiting for. 🐾

With her silky black coat and gentle green eyes, Celeste is pure magic. But behind her beauty is a shy, sweet soul who’s just waiting for someone to notice her.

Celeste was born with a condition called radial agenesis in her front left leg, which means she’s missing the radial bone. It doesn’t cause her any pain—she just walks with a delicate little limp and can't put weight on that leg (it curls inward). But don’t be fooled: it doesn’t slow her down one bit!

What does slow her down is stress. Celeste is overwhelmed by the number of other cats at the rescue. She spends most of her time hiding, too nervous to come out even for meals (don’t worry—we bring them to her!). And because she’s always tucked away, adopters often pass her by without ever seeing the loving, affectionate cat she truly is.

Celeste adores people and would blossom in a quiet home where she can finally relax and feel safe. She might do well with one or two calm feline companions, but a bustling shelter is just too much for her sensitive heart.

If you’re looking for a gentle, grateful companion who just needs a little extra understanding, Celeste could be your perfect match. Don’t let her special leg—or her shy nature—make you miss out on this incredible cat.

Come meet her at Second Chance Sheridan Cat Rescue, or message us to learn more! Please share!

Can we get a high five 👋? These little fluffballs joined the Second Chance family on Monday. They are 6 weeks old and need a couple more weeks of growing before they are available for adoption. If you're able to donate $5 today, just one dollar for each sweet face here, we can raise the funding needed to spay/neuter them once they are ready!

It's , so stop... 🛑 ...adopt time!

Fatboy Slim and MC Hammer are hitting the road this weekend for their biggest gig yet — a weekend stay in the adoption area at Petco - Sheridan Wyoming.

These identical twin talents are the last two left from our first big summer kitten crew of 21. That’s right — 19 of their siblings and kitten friends have already dropped the mic into forever homes… and now it's their turn to shine.

Fatboy Slim is the snack connoisseur, nap enthusiast, and belly rub ju**ie.
MC Hammer is the hype man — always bouncing, pouncing, and laying down some serious toe-taps. Together? They’re an unstoppable duo of adorable chaos. And yes, you can’t touch this level of cuteness.

Twin power means twice the mischief, double the snuggles, and a lifetime of synchronized zoomies. Their combined adoption fee is just $100, and they’re already neutered, vaccinated, and mic-ready.

Swing by Petco this weekend and see them in action. Because some duos are just meant to stay together — like peanut butter & jelly, tacos & Tuesdays… or Fatboy Slim & MC Hammer.

"Hi friends, it’s me—Spalding. 💛

A couple of months ago, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get to make a post like this. I was scared, in pain, and unsure if I’d survive. But thanks to the love and care from the amazing team at Second Chance Sheridan Cat Rescue—and all of YOU who believed in me—I’m writing to tell you…

I’m completely healed.

My cheek is no longer swollen and sore. My fur is soft and growing in beautifully. I’ve gained weight, strength, and most importantly—trust.

At first, I was nervous around other cats. I’d been hurt before, and it was hard to believe I was safe. But with time, I realized that no one here wants to hurt me. Now, I coexist peacefully with my feline roommates—and I’m the most affectionate guy you'll ever meet. I love humans so much. I’ll headbutt you, purr in your lap, and remind you every day how thankful I am.

And now… I’m ready for the next chapter.

I’m looking for a quiet, loving home that will give me the same kindness and patience that helped me get here. I’ll need someone to keep an eye on my health just to be safe, but right now—I’m thriving.

If you’ve been following my journey and fell in love along the way… maybe it’s time to make it official. 💛

With love and purrs,
Spalding"

Two days ago, a woman walked through our doors carrying a small cardboard box. Inside were two tiny kittens. One raised her head and looked around with wide, uncertain eyes. The other… didn’t move at all.

For a moment, I thought she was already gone.

The woman explained that three feral cats on her property had recently given birth to a total of ten kittens, but these two weren’t being cared for by any of the mothers. She had tried her best to help, but knew they needed more than she could give. We talked about spaying and neutering the adults and bringing in the rest of the litter once they were old enough. Then she gently handed over the box, and we rushed the two fragile kittens to our hospital room.

Despite being over a month old, both babies weighed only seven ounces each—less than half what they should. When I picked them up, it felt like lifting feathers and heartbreak: nothing but skin and bones. The more alert one, Pipsqueak, showed a spark of life and immediately tried to eat. But her sister, Halfpint, was in critical condition. Her tiny body was ice cold—only 92 degrees—and she was completely unresponsive.

We didn’t waste a second. We started emergency protocol, knowing there was a real chance she wouldn’t survive the hour. Glucose. Heat. Humidity. Subcutaneous fluids. For what felt like forever, we waited and watched. Slowly, miraculously, Halfpint opened her eyes. She held her temperature. Then—she took a bottle.

That night, our incredible SCSCR staff took turns coming in every two hours to feed the kittens. They stayed warm and safe in our incubator, and we cared for them like the precious little fighters they are.

Now, 48 hours later, they’re still with us. They’ve gained weight. They’re eating on their own. They’re playing—clumsy little pounces and gentle nibbles—and they’re finally acting like kittens.

They’re not out of the woods just yet. But they’re alive. And they have a chance.

If you’d like to help Pipsqueak and Halfpint continue their journey, please consider making a donation toward their care. Your support gives kittens like them a second chance—and we can’t do it without you!

Every year we have at least one momma who is an absolute rockstar and cares for every kitten in the building. This year, it's the beautiful Prudence. None of these kittens are hers, and they are definitely too old for this 😹 She loves all her babies no matter what!
