We're starting the week by introducing you to one very brave kitten: Nicholas Cage.

Just days ago, Nicholas Cage was facing an uncertain future after suffering a severe injury that left him with a fractured hip and a large open wound. When we were asked if we could help, we didn't hesitate. We rushed him to the emergency team at Veterinary Specialty Services, where he underwent surgery to amputate his injured leg. Today, Nicholas Cage is on the road to recovery and learning life as a tripod cat!

The best news? He's doing great, his prognosis is excellent, and a staff member at the clinic fell head over heels for him and is already waiting to adopt him when he's ready.

Giving little Nick the care he needed was an easy decision, but it came with nearly $4,000 in veterinary expenses. Seeing him safe, comfy, and headed toward a loving home makes every penny worth it.

We can't take on lifesaving medical cases like Nicholas Cage's without the support of our community. Will you consider making a donation today to help cover his care and ensure we can continue saying "yes" to cats who need us most?

Every dollar makes a difference, and we're so grateful for your support. ❤️

GOOD BOYS ALERT!!

Bonded brothers Pinky and Shaggy are 2 years old and looking for a home together, forever.

Shaggy's foster family describes him as cuddly and docile, with a silly side! Pinky is a playful, curious, chatty boy. They love to play wrestle with each other, get after the string and mice toys, and get all of the love from their humans. Both take a little time to warm up to strangers, but hey, don't we all?!

Adopting a bonded pair means more love in your home, but also a built in best friend for your new cat! It's a win-win for all. Plus, when you adopt a pair from Tenth Life, we knock 50% off of their adoption fees.

Apply to adopt Pinky and Shaggy today at www.tenthlifecats.org/adopt.

Do you have a bonded pair of kitties in your family? We'd love to see them! Share your favorite pic of them in the comments.

Litter Mates Cub members, Tenth Life's monthly, sustaining donors, make saving lives like Minxy's possible!

You may remember this little lady as we've shared her story a couple of times now. Minxy first came to Tenth Life as a Cherokee Street neighborhood stray who had previously been TNR'd (trap neuter, return). She was timid and unsure of people, but she acclimated to life indoors quickly, and soon learned she could trust the people caring for her.

Shortly after she became acclimated and went to the vet for the first time, we learned that she has heart disease. She was placed on a few medications and did well for many months.

Then, one very scary day, her foster arrived home to her unable to walk and crying out in pain. She was rushed to the emergency clinic, where she was hospitalized for several days. Her heart disease had caused a blood clot, which went to one of her back legs, immobilizing her.

Thanks to sustaining gifts, we were able to provide her with treatment that saved her life and helped her walk again, and ensure that we have the resources to continue caring for her. Last week, Minxy had a check up with the cardiologist and her bill was nearly $1,000. But, because of our Litter Mates Club members, it was paid right away.

And, the good news is that she's stable (her heart disease has progressed, but she has no clots currently, her chest x-rays were clear, and her bloodwork showed no concerns). Minxy is the happiest she could be. She loves life in her foster home, getting all the snuggles and playtime with her foster siblings that she wants. For now, we're continuing to monitor her very closely for any symptoms and letting her live her best life.
