🚨URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨

*** pictures coming soon on a new official adoption post

We are looking for a safe indoor home(or a rescue) for FIVE cats that are about 5 months old.

They have spent their entire lives outside and are extremely friendly!

They will be fixed and vaccinated in the next week to two weeks.

Please ask all the questions I know this is a limited information post but we are trying to close the gap and get these babies out of harms way as fast as possible.

🚨 HELP US HELP THIS LITTLE GUY! 🐾

Raised: $70 Funds still needed: $380

We know we’ve been MIA lately but posting always comes last. Very last to the point we forget 😅

BUT

This SWEET little singleton kitten, who is just around 5 weeks old, has found his way into our care (after being found under a grill crying😭) We want to make sure he gets the healthy start he deserves. ❤️

Because he’s so young, he needs some medical attention, a veterinary exam, and his age-appropriate vaccines before he can continue on to the next step in his journey.

We need to raise $450 to help cover his upcoming veterinary care. Every dollar will go directly toward getting this little guy healthy, protected, and ready for whatever comes next. 🐱💙

As a small TNR project, we don’t have a large budget or a steady stream of funding. We rely on the kindness of people who believe that helping one cat at a time really does make a difference.

Even one dollar makes a difference!

And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post helps us tremendously, too. ❤️

Thank you for helping us give this tiny guy the care he needs. We’ll keep you updated on his progress! 🐾

🚨 PLEASE SHARE🚨

Update. We found a safe place for the kitty to have a forever home. However we’re are looking for a safe in between in the meantime so we can get him fixed and vaccinated! Needs to be an Air conditioned space! (Potentially 2-3 weeks)

Friends! We are desperately looking for placement for a friendly black kitty! We are hoping for shelter placement or indoors!

He has been on antibiotics and was very thin when found, the family that has been caring for him and had some unforeseen circumstances and can no longer care for him.

He is on the right track to getting healthy but needs a new rescue/family to commit to him!

We will of course pay to spay/neuter, vaccinate,and microchip him/her!

💚St. Gertrude of Nivelles is known as the patron saint of cats!!
…..and today we honor the quiet protectors of barns, homes, and communities everywhere.💚

From beloved house cats to the community cats we care for through TNR, these animals have always had a place alongside us.

At Little Sioux TNR, we believe every cat deserves safety, care, and respect — whether they live on a couch or in a colony. 🐾

🐾 International Tripawd Awareness Day

This day raises awareness about three-legged pets — and helps educate people about what life after amputation really looks like.

There are a lot of misconceptions about tripawd animals. But!!!

• Cats adapt incredibly well to life on three legs.
• Most return to normal activity after healing — running, climbing, and playing.
• Amputation is often the most humane and pain-relieving option after severe injury.
• Animals do not experience emotional loss the way humans do — they focus on healing and moving forward.

💙 Lenny’s Story 💙
Lenny was stepped on by a cow as a TINY one pound kitten, and her leg was fractured beyond repair. An emergency amputation followed …

Today? She’s happy, healthy, and SUPER fast. 🐾💨

Her surgery didn’t limit her — it freed her from pain.

International Tripawd Awareness Day reminds us that amputation is not the end of a life. It’s often the beginning of a comfortable, active, joyful one.

If you have a tripawd pet, share their photo below and help us educate others about how resilient these animals truly are.

Today is International Rescue Cat Day 🐾

We celebrate the brave, resilient, and lovable cats who have been rescued — from shelters, streets, and communities everywhere. Every rescued cat has a story: a second chance at life, love, and safety.

💙 Featured Cat: Penny 💙
Penny was an outdoor cat with very fine fur that became extremely matted — a condition that is painful and can cause serious health issues. Thanks to rescue, she is now an indoor kitty and thriving, happy, and completely pain-free! Peep the before and after! 🐾💛

We see it every day: cats who were abandoned, dumped, or overlooked finding care, spay/neuter, and safe spaces — sometimes forever homes, sometimes a safe return to their colony. Every rescued cat is a reminder that compassion works.

💙 Share your rescued cat story or photo in the comments! Let’s celebrate the cats who’ve touched our hearts and remind each other why rescue matters.

✂️ Today is World Spay Day —
And it matters more than most people realize.

Behind every spay surgery is a story that never had to happen.

It’s the litter born under a shed in freezing temperatures.
It’s the mama cat trying to survive while feeding six hungry mouths.
It’s the kitten and puppies dumped on a gravel road when they become “too many.”
It’s the cycle that repeats… and repeats… and repeats.

Spay and neuter doesn’t just prevent kittens.
It prevents suffering.
It prevents abandonment.
It prevents heartbreak — for the animals and for the people trying to help them.

This is why we trap.
This is why we fundraise.
This is why we show up.
This is why we return and rescue.

Because one surgery can change the entire future of a cat.

In Northwest Iowa, we are seeing what happens when prevention doesn’t happen. We see the dumped cats. The surprise litters. The overwhelmed caregivers.

We are choosing to do something about it.

💔 Featuring Baby Greg. Another sweet soul that didnt make it. 💔

Please consider donating to our project. Every dollar goes directly toward spay/neuter surgeries and the care of community cats and kittens. We can only continue this life-saving work with your support.

Northwest Iowa doesn’t have to be known for dumped animals.
It can be known for compassion, accountability, and real solutions. 🐾💙

This Week is National Justice for Animals Week.
(We could really use some justice 🤞🏻)

National Justice for Animals Week highlights the need for strong laws, meaningful enforcement, and proactive prevention to protect animals.

Here are the facts:

• Animal abandonment and dumping are criminal offenses in Iowa — yet rural dumping cases remain common and difficult to investigate and prosecute.
• The Animal Legal Defense Fund publishes annual rankings of state animal protection laws. In multiple past reports, Iowa has ranked in the lower half of U.S. states, with noted gaps in penalty structures, enforcement tools, and certain legal protections.
• An unspayed female cat can have 2–3 litters per year, averaging 4–6 kittens per litter. One unaltered pair and their offspring can result in hundreds of cats within just a few years.
• Nationwide, most cats entering shelters are never reclaimed by an owner.

When laws lack strength, enforcement resources, or preventive investment, communities feel the impact — and so do the animals.

Justice for animals means:

🐾 Strong, enforceable protections
🐾 Accountability for abandonment and cruelty
🐾 Public education
🐾 Accessible spay/neuter services
🐾 Community-based solutions like TNR

We focus on prevention — because reducing unwanted litters reduces abandonment, shelter intake, and long-term suffering at its source.

If you believe animals deserve stronger protections and proactive solutions, stand with us this week.

💔 Featured is Norman. He was left in an abandon home with a broken jaw. He was able to live safely and pain free for a whole year before we lost him. He Is one of our many “whys” ❤️

🐾 Today is International Cat Day 🐾

This day was chosen in honor of Socks, a former Presidents beloved cat, who passed away on February 20, 2009.

Today we celebrate the cats who rule our homes, our barns, our hearts — and yes, our community colonies too. 💙

Drop a photo of your cat (or community cat you care for!) in the comments — we’d love to see the faces that make your world brighter.

And if you’d like to honor your cat today, please consider donating to help us continue caring for community cats and kittens. (Pictured: Janice a sweet baby found with a bot fly in her neck!)
