Losing Butters really knocked me down hard this week. Thank you to everyone who reached out, messaged, called, texted. It really means a lot.

She had such a huge presence…everything she did was dramatic. Over the top. Loud. And I miss her.

Biggie and Smalls, while definitely not besties with her, are grieving. They know. They really know.

A few days before Butters passed, I would find one of them bathing or grooming her. This had never happened, ever.

On another note, I need to send out a huge “thank you” to everyone that has sent food and supply donations.

If only you knew just how much every bag of dry food helps, every case of wet food, the toys, the kitty huts…I need you to know the burden it eases for me.

When I don’t have to focus as much on supplies…that means I can invest those funds on saving another life…or two - or three.

So thank you - all of you. I know that everyone is struggling, and knowing that you still choose to use your hard earned dollars to help us keep going - there are no words that can adequately convey how that makes me feel.

I will send everyone a personal “thank you” soon - but since this is the first nice day in a while, I have to clean off the disaster that is my front porch. Lol. I’ve been redoing cat trees, quarantine kennels and kitty huts, so I have an Amazon warehouse literally on my porch.

Thank you all - for standing by me and my broken heart. 💔💔💔

If anyone wants to send something from our wishlist, I’ll include it in the comments.

Thank you all again. Thank you for helping me save those that need saving the most.

Butters is on her final journey to Pet Passages of Southbury.

She will be home in a few days and will be forever next to her brothers.

No matter how well prepared you try to be for the grief, the pain and the flood of emotions, it’s never enough.

I’m heartbroken and I miss her. I miss her screaming at the top of her lungs, demanding food. I miss her running in and out between my feet, trying to faceplant me, because she had absolutely no patience and wanted the bowl of wet food now.

I miss my Diva.

I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just couldn’t.

Butters gained her wings yesterday morning at 5:00 am.

My trio is back together again. Himy, Meezey and Butters.

We had been fighting GI lymphoma, as well as kidney failure - giving it the full arsenal, but her little body couldn’t fight any longer.

Now let me tell you - this little girl was a FIGHTER. She gave her all until the end. She demanded food. If you ate dinner in front of her, you better have something in your plate that she could snack on. She demanded her water bowl be full always!

Medicating her was a constant battle - and while we stopped short of targeted chemo - we fought the battle with her for as long as we could.

She was our Butt Butt, Butter Butt, and sometimes a PITA. Lol.

Butters loved Meezey. When he passed, I think a part of her went with him. I truly believe she never got over that loss.

But damn, we loved her and she will be missed.

Butters came to me in 2017 from a shelter in New Iberia, LA. She was terrified, until she wasn’t, then DIVA mode took over and never left.

She was never supposed to “stay,” but the one time I put her in gen pop and tried to adopt her out, well, she went on a hunger strike and we ended up having to have a feeding tube placed.

I brought her in our room with Himy and Meezey to recuperate…and 2 days and 1200.00 later, she started eating again. Butters had no intention of leaving and she was going to make me pay dearly for even trying to adopt her out.

The shelter in 2017 had her listed as 4 years old, so that would put her at 13 to 14, but she could have been older.

All we know is we loved her and we will miss the hell out of her.

Give the boys hugs from momma, Butter Butt. No more pain, my beautiful Tortie Meezer.

I’ve screenshotted photos so that I could leave the captions on there.

🐾 TINY MOUTHS. BIG APPETITES. EVEN BIGGER GROCERY BILLS. 🐾

Apparently no one told the kittens that food costs money.

They just sit there with their tiny faces, screaming like they haven’t eaten since the Great Depression…even though breakfast was approximately 11 minutes ago. 😂

And lately, we have a LOT of mouths to feed.

Over the past few months, Second Hand Siamese has taken in a higher than usual number of owner surrenders, special-needs cats, seniors, kittens, and cats who simply had nowhere else to go.

Some arrive frightened.

Some arrive sick.

Some arrive confused because the only home they’ve ever known is suddenly gone.

But when they come through our doors, we want them to know one thing:

Whatever happened before—you’re safe now. We’ve got you. 💕

And sometimes, “we’ve got you” looks a whole lot like a giant bag of Kitten Chow. 😂

🥣 Our biggest ongoing need is KITTEN CHOW, and Purina Gentle.

Those little growing bodies can put away an astonishing amount of groceries, and keeping our shelves stocked is a never-ending job.

🏠 We’ve also added kitty huts to our wish list!

We use them in our quarantine and acclimation kennels to give frightened and newly arrived cats a cozy little place to hide, decompress and feel secure. We replace them frequently for cleanliness and comfort—because every scared little Meezer or Moggie deserves a clean, soft place to curl up while they figure out that life is about to get better.

If you’ve ever wondered whether donating one bag of food or one little kitty hut really makes a difference…

It does.

It means a full belly.

A clean bed.

A safe hiding place.

And one less thing we have to worry about while we concentrate on the medical care, rehabilitation and love these cats need.

We’ve taken on some difficult cases lately because sometimes the cats who need us the most aren’t the easy ones.

They’re the reason we’re here. ❤️

So if you can help us stock the Second Hand Siamese pantry and fill our kennels with cozy little huts, our cats—and the tiny furry freeloaders currently eating us out of house and home—would be incredibly grateful. 😂🐾

And if you can’t donate right now, please share. A share costs nothing and can put this post in front of the person who can help.

From our tiniest kitten to our oldest special-needs resident…

Thank you for helping us keep saying YES when a cat has nowhere else to go. 💕

Because sometimes a second hand is exactly what they need.

For anyone who was following the Big Bear Eagles, and Jackie’s story…

The saddest of updates from the Ojai Raptor Center.

Jackie, the beloved Eagle from Big Bear, has passed.

Fly high, beautiful Jackie. You were loved by people you never even knew were watching.

And you mattered. So very much. 💔

Your legacy will live on through your babies and the awareness you brought to not just a small group of people, but to the world. One bird, and you captivated the world. 💕💕

Patient Update: Bald Eagle 26-519

It is with profound sadness that we share that Patient 26-519 passed away in the early hours of this morning, following more than three weeks of intensive medical care.

Over the past several days, her condition continued to deteriorate despite intensive treatment and the combined efforts of our veterinary team and consulting specialists. She remained critically ill, receiving oxygen therapy, supportive treatment, and around-the-clock monitoring in our intensive care unit.

Throughout her time at Ojai Raptor Center, every decision was guided by the available medical evidence, her welfare, and our responsibility to do what was in her best interest.

Her remains have been transferred into the care of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

We know this news will be deeply felt by the many thousands of people around the world who have followed her journey, hoped alongside us, prayed for her, and supported the people caring for her.

Our team is heartbroken. It has been an extraordinary privilege to care for her.

We ask for patience and kindness as our staff process this loss. We are working closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and will provide a more comprehensive statement including additional information on her treatments and test results.

To protect our staff and community during this difficult time, comments on this post have been turned off.

To everyone who cared about Patient 26-519, thank you. Thank you for your messages, your prayers, your encouragement, and for standing beside our team throughout these past weeks. We are deeply grateful for the way Patient 26-519 brought people together through a shared love of wildlife.

🚨 We Need Your Help to Keep Saying “Yes.” 🚨

This is one of those posts that’s hard to write… but it’s important. Please don’t scroll by without at least sharing.

Lately, our rescue has been overwhelmed with owner surrenders, senior cats, and cats with medical issues. These are the ones that so many others pass by because they’re older, sick, or simply need more than the average cat.

But they’re exactly the ones we can’t turn our backs on.

Every new life we welcome through our doors means another mouth to feed, another litter box to clean, another veterinary bill, and another promise that they will never know hunger or neglect again.

Here’s where you can make an incredible difference.

Through our Amazon Business account, we’re able to purchase much of our cat food at about 30% below retail prices, but only for a few days, as the sales usually last 48 to 72 hours. That’s an enormous savings for a rescue our size.

Unfortunately, those business-only prices aren’t available through Amazon Prime or our public Wish List, so we can’t simply add the food there for you to purchase.

Instead, we’re asking for donations that will allow us to buy directly through our business account and stretch every dollar as far as possible.

Think about that for a moment…

❤️ Your $25 donation doesn’t buy $25 worth of food—it helps us purchase about $35 worth because of the discounts we’re able to receive during these sales.

That means more full bowls.
More rescued cats.
More seniors living out their golden years in comfort.
More frightened owner surrenders learning that people can still be kind.
More second chances.

Every single dollar saved on food is a dollar we can redirect toward surgeries, medications, emergency veterinary care, and rescuing the next cat whose life hangs in the balance.

If Second Hand Siamese has ever made you smile…
If you’ve followed one of our rescue stories…
If you’ve celebrated an adoption with us…
If you simply believe every cat deserves a chance…

Please consider making a donation today.

Because every bag of food you help us buy tells another cat:

“You’re safe now. We’ve got you.”

As always, thank you for standing beside us. We truly couldn’t do this without our incredible village. You are the reason these cats have hope. ❤️🐾

🧡 Meet Saffron 🧡

Rare Ginger Girl • Sweet • Sassy • Full of Personality

Some cats are wallflowers…

Saffron? She’d much rather be the star of the show.

This gorgeous orange-and-white beauty is one of those rare ginger girls that everyone falls in love with. (Yes, orange females are much less common than orange males, making Miss Saffron extra special!)

Once upon a time, Saffron was found wandering the streets, fending for herself. Those days are thankfully behind her, and she’s fully embraced the luxurious indoor lifestyle. Soft beds? Yes, please. Air conditioning? Absolutely. A full food bowl? She expects nothing less.

Saffron is the perfect mix of sweet affection and confident sass. She’s happy to spend time with her people, but she also knows exactly what she likes—and isn’t shy about letting you know. We suspect she’s pretty smart… well… as smart as an orange cat can be. 😉 (Orange cat owners know exactly what we mean!)

When it comes to food, Saffron is a true connoisseur. Dinner time is serious business, and if you’ve got Churus, you’ve just become her favorite human. Those creamy treats are the fastest way to win this girl’s heart.

Because Saffron enjoys being the queen of her castle, she’d do best in a home with few or no other pets where she doesn’t have to compete for attention. Polite, respectful children who understand cat boundaries should be just fine.

If you’re looking for a cat with beauty, personality, confidence, and just the right amount of diva energy, Saffron may be your perfect match.

🧡 Saffron is ready to trade her life on the streets for a forever throne. Could it be in your home?
