💕 Moxie has something VERY important to show everyone… 💕

She got a NEW SWEATER and, obviously, she had to have a whole photoshoot to show it off! 😂🐾

Just look at this little fashionista in her pink sweater with hearts. 🥹💗 She’s cozy, cute, and clearly knows she looks fabulous!

🌈🐾 RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY 🐾🌈

Today, we take a moment to remember the beloved animals who may no longer be by our side, but will forever have a place in our hearts.❤️

They were our companions, our comfort, our family, and sometimes our very best friends. Their time with us may have been too short, but the love they gave us lasts a lifetime. 🐾

Today, we’d love to remember them together.💕

📸 Share a picture of your beloved pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the comments.

💭 Tell us their name, how long they were part of your life, and one special memory that makes you smile when you think of them.

Let’s fill the comments with their beautiful faces, their stories, and the love they left behind. 🌈🐶🐱🐰🐾

Because they may be gone from our arms, but they are never gone from our hearts. ❤️

Happy ! 🐾

Right now, our rescue is bursting with love—and a whopping 42 kittens and cats!
While we adore every single one of these sweet babies, having 42 tiny mouths to feed and spaces to keep clean means our supplies are disappearing incredibly fast.

We are currently critically low on two major daily essentials:
🐈‍⬛ Purina Kitten Chow
🐈 Tractor Supply Pelletized Bedding

If you are in a position to help, please consider grabbing an item from our wishlist today. You aren't just buying supplies; you are keeping these babies' bellies full, their beds fresh, and their hearts happy. Every single donation makes a massive difference for our rescue!

Moxie Update 🐾✨

This sweet girl sure does have a lot of “moxie.” She has slowly continued to improve, and while she's still not eating on her own just yet, she is maintaining her weight and gets so excited when it's feeding time! 🥣❤️

She’s not out of the woods yet, but we're hopeful that starting a new antibiotic and a higher-calorie food will give her the boost she needs to keep gaining strength. 🐱💪

We couldn't give her this fighting chance without your support. Donations are always needed and so deeply appreciated to help cover her medical care!

👇 The donation link is in the comments below.

Thank you for cheering our brave girl on! Drop some love for Moxie in the comments! 👇
