As a dedicated rescue who practices TNR, this heartwarming video reminds me of the boundless opportunities I have to learn and grow alongside these incredible creatures, especially when it comes to kittens. Kittens frequently exhibit pronounced fear responses around people, which can be misinterpreted as feral or non-social behavior. When initiating a TNR project, I often make assumptions about the kittens' socialization levels, assuming they're not handled or comfortable with humans, but I should never make assumptions. This little one displayed classic signs of fear, fleeing frantically when I entered the yard, hissing and spitting when trapped, and displaying dilated pupils when I approached, but with patience and time, he began to decompress, and I gently encouraged him with delectable treats. It's thrilling to see this transformation and know that this sweet boy has a potential forever home waiting for him, especially considering he came from a large colony of around 18 kittens. Now, my mind is focused on the next challenge: finding ways to rescue the rest of the kittens and provide them with the safety and comfort they deserve.

So many kittens and cats that need OUR help. Fosters are needed desperately. Desperately!!
These kittens need a place to crash. Their parents will be spayed and neutered in the next month but these kittens have a chance at a happy life ...INDOORS! Let's get them safe and sound.
Have a bathroom to spare? I have kennels available to place in a living area or spare bedroom.
Food, litter, toys and basically anything needed would be provided!
Kittens would be vaccinated, dewormed and get flea treatments. Some may need extra care like mixing kitten milk replacement into moist food.
Can you help? Our rescue is in winlock. We love our fosters and appreciate their investment in our rescues.
Please consider fostering. 💖 Please.

It's amazing how daily antibiotics, eye medication, probiotics and nourishing food will change a sick kitten for the better.💗
These 5 kittens are so active and confident. They are now demanding to be held and love attention.
I wish I could create billboard with the saying, "Found some hissy kittens, play with them!".
These kittens are almost ready for adoption. Most of the time, I get calls for help with hissy/feral kittens. Unfortunately, my rescue doesn't have fosters who can socialize. It's a long process to socialize and right now, our goal is to find rescues up north that can accept healthy kittens. Then we can accept more kittens, get them healthy and move them on to brighter futures.
There are so many kittens needing help right now. And the adults that created them also need to be spayed and neutered. Rescue is a process.

We got some new roommates! These sweet kittens are part of our Last Litter program. Their momma, TP, was just spayed and their owner, Shelli, kept these babies safe until we could accept them into our rescue.
We vaccinated and provided some food but Shelli was the Rockstar!
She lives near a busy road and had experienced the heartbreak of losing cats when hit by vehicles. So she reached out and we made a plan to get TP spayed and then once kittens were weaned we would accept them.
I know the time and efforts she made to make this happen and I appreciate her so very much. ❤️.
There are 5 kittens, 1 female and 4 males. Some have mild URI and we have started antibiotics. In the meantime, they are getting used to their new space until they move to a foster home.(video in comments).
Rescue does have beautiful moments. I relish them.
Now let's go save some cats!

My three stunning resident panthers.🖤🖤🖤 I wish I could have a dozen cats of my own, but how would I have the time to provide them with the necessary care and attention? Having three cats in bed every night is already a challenge; imagine having 12? These three goofballs keep me on my toes and provide companionship during both good and bad days. We relocated 1000 miles in 2 days with these cats, and they adapted remarkably well. In fact, when our truck broke down over Grants Pass, we had to camp overnight, and they seemed to enjoy the experience. I will never underestimate the resilience of cats again, particularly in rescue situations and with these three.

When you see posts from rescues, we don't show everything. It's too much. There are simply too many kittens being born and not enough space to help.
We have small victories like sending kittens to places like Seattle Humane or Seattle Area Feline Rescue where they find great homes but the reality is...we don't have resources to help them all.
Today, I spoke with a kind woman who needed help with kittens. I couldn't help personally but I could hear the desperation in her voice...she really cared. Thankfully another rescue stepped up to help. Nine Lives & More Rescue
I also stopped by another residents home to check on sick kittens. Their eyes are at risk but hopefully antibiotics will help. Again, where do we take them? Everyone is at capacity. I am grateful to the neighbor willing to help and house these kittens. ❤️
Change is needed. Rescues like mine cannot sustain the amount of assistance needed in our community. We need collaboration and like minded individuals who care about cats. We can modify our beliefs on community cats. It's just takes intention. 💯

I love this photo of Anders.
We had so much hope for him.
Trapped at a colony as a kitten, he needed more time to trust and then he gained confidence.
Then he tested Felv+ but we found a future for him with an Felv+ Sanctuary...then he tested positive for FIP. 💔
Sadly, the timing was terrible because of holiday weekend. Treatment would come too late. He needed rest from suffering.
Euthanasia is so tough on the heart. 💔 Our rescue always wants the "happily ever after". But today, I whispered in his ear that we will continue to help kitties like him.
Love you Anders. ❤️. Fly free.
