It's

And we want you to meet Ketta. 🧡

Look at that sweet face — and know that behind it, Ketta is dealing with a lot. She's a little less than 3 years old and came to us this week after her owner realized she could no longer provide the level of care Ketta needs.

Ketta's back legs are malformed, with oblong kneecaps and mismatched bones that leave her with hip dysplasia and very little muscle to support her. One of our vet partners is sending her x-rays out for a specialist consult to figure out whether surgery or physical therapy could help, or whether our focus should be on strategies to keep her as comfortable as possible for the long run.

She also has urinary crystals and a stone large enough that diet alone might not dissolve it, so she's starting a prescription urinary food to see how she responds. And her sweet smushed-in little face, while undeniably cute, makes it harder for her to breathe and is likely contributing to the respiratory infection she's currently being treated for.

We are here for Ketta.

Cats like Ketta are exactly why our Litter Mates Monthly Giving Program exists.

The reality is that many of the cats who need us most don't just need one surgery or one vet visit. They need ongoing diagnostics, specialist consults, prescription diets, and lifelong management. The costs add up quickly, often hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Monthly gifts make it possible for us to say "yes" to cats like Ketta and give them the care they deserve.

This $5 Friday, will you help us care for Ketta and so many others like her?

For just $5 a month (or more), you can become a Litter Mate and provide dependable support for cats with special needs. If monthly giving isn't the right fit, a one-time gift in Ketta's honor will make a meaningful difference, too.

We simply couldn't do this work without our incredible community. Thank you for helping us give cats like Ketta the lives they deserve.

NOTE: Facebook has started limiting the ability of any Page to include more than 2 links in posts per month, so we can't share the link to our Litter Mates page here. However you can still go to the top of our page and click the link in bio to get there.

We asked for kitten food for our little ones, and WOW… did you deliver! 🥹🐾

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, more than a dozen cases of wet food have arrived! That’s a whole lot of full bellies, happy purrs, and kittens who are very, VERY pleased with themselves for typing their request with their back paws. 😹

We’re so grateful to everyone who sent food, shared our post, or helped spread the word. Every can makes a difference—and together, you’ve made a huge one.

And because the adults refused to be left out of the fun… they’re thankful for the turkey and salmon pâté, too. 😉🐈

Thank you for helping us keep our Tenth Life kitties happy, healthy, and well-fed while they wait for their forever homes. We couldn’t do this without you! 🧡

R U kitten me? What do ya mean we're getting low on kitten food already?!

It’s true. Normally we would wait until , but the kittens got together on social meowdia to put out an urgent call, since we are about to run out of canned kitten food and insisted that we ask for more right MEOW!

In fact, not only have we had a surge of several new litters in the past couple of months, but one of our recently acquired adult foster cats is unexpectedly expecting. With so many little mouths to feed, we need your help!

If you’re able, please send a few cans from our wishlists. Every donation makes a difference!

Prefer to drop off a donation? Email us at [email protected] and we’ll coordinate a time.

Thank you for helping us keep these babies safe and full as we look for their forever homes!

PS - the adults asked to get in on the action, so if you can add some yummy turkey or salmon pate to the mix, that would be purrrfect.

It's Flashback Friday at Tenth Life. One of our foster cats, Ruby Red, is back with us, hanging out at the Adoption Lounge, and is already happily exploring his old, familiar habitat.

Ruby Red was featured in a special interview earlier this year with our Operations Manager, Anne. If you can tell from his photos he has a lot to say.

You can read more about this sweet, adorable 1-year-old cat about town in the link in the comments below.

And the best news: he's available for adoption: https://tenthlifecats.org/adopt-cat/?id=211185981

We’re so grateful for veterinary partners like this who help us say “yes” to cats with complicated medical needs. 🧡

Tootles is a perfect example—her fracture required a major intervention, but with the right care, she got her second chance and is now happily settled in her forever home.

We’re incredibly fortunate to work with veterinary teams who meet these cats with compassion and expertise and help us turn challenging cases into happy endings. 🐾

🍌 Going… going… bananas 🍌

A gentle reminder from the cats of Tenth Life: our Savannah Bananas raffle closes TOMORROW at 3pm.

The deal: two premium seats together at Busch Stadium this Saturday — a game that sold out months ago — donated by one of our own amazing fosters. Worth $120--Tickets start at $10. Victory is within reach!

Every dollar goes to the cats curled up in our laps at the lounge and the kittens snuggling up together at foster homes right now, getting their meds, their meals, and a truly unreasonable number of naps. They can't buy raffle tickets. They'd be dreadful at baseball. But they are very, very worth it. It's a win-win!

Closes tomorrow (Thursday) at 3pm 🐾

🐾 Tuesday Adoption Tails: Noodle Finds His Purr-fect Place!

Remember Kimchi? He’s now Noodle, and this big boy is absolutely thriving in his forever home!

Adopted a few months ago by Alex and James, Noodle has grown into quite the handsome (and apparently VERY hungry!) fellow. He’s loving his cat tree, snoozing both on *and* under the bed, and enthusiastically enjoying both wet and dry food. In fact, his adopters say he’s “eating us out of house and home!” 😹

Even better, Noodle is settling into life with his much-older brother, Bean. Bean has recently faced the challenge of becoming blind, but the two are finding their own rhythm—with Noodle occasionally making sure his big brother doesn’t get *too* comfortable.

From a Tenth Life cat looking for his next chapter to a beloved member of his new family, Noodle is exactly where he belongs. This is what adoption success looks like!

We’re so grateful to Alex and James for giving Noodle his forever home—and for sending us this wonderful update. 🧡
