So many people fell in love with a little kitten who was thrown away like trash. I want to thank everyone for your kind words and donations. So many babies like this come through our rescue and thanks to the community we are able to help them. An update on Mercedes as you can see she's a happy little girl. She has a long road to recovery and she still isn't out of the woods from her injuries. We take it one day at a time and enjoy every moment. Please keep her and all the other babies here at OVFF recovering in your prayers.

Intake is still closed unless it is a true emergency.

Today was a big day for Mercedes. She visited Pet Supplies Plus to pickup litter for the rescue. She got her kitten sling yesterday from Karen Burger and she loves it. It sure makes traveling so much easier with her

🐾📋 OFFICIAL MEMO FROM SQUEAKY 📋🐾

Subject: THE CHICKEN HAS ARRIVED.

Status: Emergency resolved.

Dear Followers,
I would like to officially report that Melissa delivered the chicken today.

And as you can see...

IT WAS DELICIOUS. 🍗😻

I was beginning to wonder if I was going to survive the wait. There were several moments where I feared I might perish from Chicken Deprivation Syndrome.

But then...

CHICKEN.

And suddenly life was beautiful again.
I would also like to address some wild and completely unfounded rumors circulating about my ability to share food.

I DID share my chicken.

Yes, I did.

Despite what certain people may have said, I am perfectly capable of sharing my food.

I am deeply insulted that anyone would suggest otherwise.

And I would like to formally deny the allegations that I have ever wounded anyone while generously allowing them to enjoy my food.

Those allegations are completely unfounded.

Moving on. 😾

I would also like to thank everyone who participated in the movement.

I am confident that is the ONLY reason I received my chicken today.

That...
And the fact that Melissa got off work a little early.

But mostly the hashtag.

Obviously.

I hope this experience has taught the rescue leadership to appreciate the valuable contributions I make every day, including:

📦 Inspecting deliveries
📦 Inspecting MORE deliveries
🦩 Counting flamingos
📦 Quality-checking packages
🐾 Supervising the cats
👀 Monitoring the humans
🍗 Conducting important food safety inspections
😴 Resting strategically so I am prepared for my next shift

This is hard work.

Fortunately, I am extremely dedicated to my position.

Now that I have been properly fed, I will be returning to my duties.

Please continue to support the movement.

I don't want anyone getting comfortable thinking ONE chicken is enough.

Respectfully submitted,
🐾 Squeaky
Official Stock Manager
Head of Delivery Inspection
Flamingo Counting Specialist
Chief Snack Quality Officer
Professional Chicken Recipient

P.S. Melissa... I will be conducting another inspection tomorrow to make sure you don't forget the chicken again. 👀🍗

💙🐾 It's $5 Friday! 🐾💙

We have a very important announcement...

As you can clearly see from today's photo, the cats have been left in charge of the rescue.

And judging by those faces...

Someone is about to be called into the office.

We're not sure who forgot to refill the snack bowl, who didn't scoop fast enough, or who was caught making unauthorized trips to the kitten room...

But an employee evaluation is definitely about to happen. 😹

While our supervisors are busy keeping everyone in line, kitten season certainly isn't slowing down.

We're entering that time of year when so many of our kittens are finally reaching the right size to be spayed and neutered. While that's exciting, it also means our veterinary bills are growing just as quickly as the kittens.

On top of that, we have several special medical cases in our care that need extra medications, additional vet visits, and lots of TLC.

Every kitten, every adult cat, every special needs case... they all rely on your generosity.

That's why we love $5 Friday.

💙 Just $5 may not seem like much, but when hundreds of animal lovers come together, it provides:
🐾 Spay and neuter surgeries
🐾 Vaccinations
🐾 Medications
🐾 Food
🐾 Litter
🐾 Medical care for our special cases
🐾 And everything our cats need while they wait for their forever homes.

If you can spare $5 today, you'll be helping the cats currently in our care—and the many more who will need us in the weeks ahead.

Because while our feline management team may look intimidating...

They're really just making sure every cat gets the care they deserve. ❤️

Thank you for making a difference, one $5 Friday at a time.

OFFICIAL MEMO
From the Desk of Cinnabon
Acting Air Quality Monitor & Whisker-Based Environmental Specialist

To: All Humans, Volunteers, Cats, Kittens, and Other Interested Parties

I would like to provide an official update regarding air quality conditions at the shelter.

First, I must address the rumors.

I have become aware that Thor has made allegations suggesting I have been turning off the air purifiers. I would like to formally deny these accusations.

As many of you know, I am blind and conduct all inspections using my highly advanced senses of smell, hearing, and whisker detection. While I have occasionally attempted to make adjustments to the air purifiers, it is hardly my fault that the power button feels suspiciously similar to all the other buttons. Any shutdowns that may have occurred were purely accidental and should be classified as equipment design flaws.

After several weeks of investigation, I am pleased to report that air quality appears to be holding steady.

This is especially impressive considering the kittens continue to grow larger every day and are collectively consuming what seems like a significant portion of the building's available oxygen supply.

I have also observed excellent work from the volunteer staff. Every day I can hear humans cleaning the washable filters. The regular maintenance appears to be helping the air purifiers perform at their best, and I encourage everyone to continue this important work.

During my inspection rounds, I also gathered information regarding the trailer that houses the general population cats. Reports indicate that space could benefit from an additional air purifier to help keep conditions comfortable for the residents.

Naturally, I conducted further research.

By "research," I mean I listened to humans talking and then checked the Amazon Wish List while standing on someone's keyboard.

I can confirm that air purifiers are still listed as a needed item. The cats living in the trailer would be incredibly grateful for another purifier to help keep the air fresh and comfortable.

This issue is particularly important to me because many of the kittens from my building eventually move to the trailer after they are spayed and neutered. I understand their concerns and feel strongly that they deserve the best air quality possible.

Overall, I believe I am settling into my new role quite nicely. It is a great honor to continue the work started by Thor, and I am committed to serving as Acting Air Quality Monitor until I, too, find my forever home.

Thank you for your continued support of clean air, happy cats, and properly maintained filters.

Respectfully,

Cinnabon
Acting Air Quality Monitor
Whisker-Based Environmental Assessment Division

P.S. If anyone asks, I absolutely did not turn off the purifier yesterday. I was conducting a tactile button identification exercise.

P.P.S. Squeaky said to add she is still waiting for a chicken delivery but she will happily check in an air purifier delivery but will expect extra chicken.

Enjoy seeing most of the cats and kittens that are in the trailer at the rescue. This was taken a few days ago and just getting around to sharing. After we clean, the cats are usually settling down for their afternoon naps. As opposed to their mid-morning naps or their early afternoon naps. We all know one nap just kind of blends into the next one.

Except for kittens…that’s a whole other level of crazy. Cute but crazy. We wouldn’t want them any other way. And I’m proud to announce that I made it into and out of the room where they are…by myself and without anyone escaping. 😂 And I can’t move fast on bad knees.

🕯️Miss Candle🕯️
Miss Candle says if you’re wondering where my name came from, look closely at my face, and you can see the shape of a burning candle!! 💕

🌸This beautiful girl is 2 years old and is a true love bug.

💕This princess would prefer to live in a home without the dog kind, as she prefers to rule the house all by herself! 👑She does say that one other cat would be acceptable!

🕯️You can meet Miss Candle at Pet Supplies Plus. Let’s help Miss Candle burn bright in a new, forever home! 🏠
