Its seems like the messages are all the same.
"A dumped cat had kittens in yard/barn and they are sick and I can't keep them."
How can I express to our communities that rescues are not the answer to our cat overpopulation situation?
Yes, we volunteer to be caregivers, fosters, shelters for these cats BUT we cannot sustain this.
Rescues do not get discounted veterinarian care.
We spend untold amounts of time caring for kittens like these. Up late cleaning kennels, washing bowls, disinfecting areas, administering medications, bathing kittens, socializing timid cats, and so much more. This is a full-time job.
Please don't misunderstand. We choose to do this because it's necessary.
But I secretly hope that more people will see the need to help and accept the responsibility to care for/their cats.
Spay/neuter. Provide veterinary care. Just do something instead of doing nothing. 💔
It's too soon to know if a couple of these kittens will have their vision or lose their eyes.
I have a lot of faith in antibiotics, nourishing food, and a warm bed.
Let's all encourage one another to be brave and do more for our cats. ❤️
Now please go out there and save ONE cat.🙏

“Anita the kitten here! I’ve got a few things to say and these toe beans can’t type so good, so my pals at SAFe are writing it for me. Meow that I have your attention...

First thing’s first: Adopt me! We’ll have so much fun together, me and you and the other kitten you adopt with me (pawsibly my littermate Kayanetta?) You can find me at SAFe’s Adoption Center 12-6PM this weekend through Sunday.

Second: SAFe’s online auction is happening NOW! As I brought up before, my paws aren’t great with keyboard buttons, but I’ve got my eye on a few items such as a bed, a toy basket, various paintings made by my kitty friends……There’s also some stuff in there for human people, I guess you can bid on that after my presents. All funds raised go to caring, sheltering, and finding homes for cats like me!

But hurry, because the auction closes at 6 PM on Sunday, September 21st. That’s also when the Adoption Center closes! So set your alarm, because you don’t want to miss out on taking home me OR these pawsome items that support Rescue kitties!”

Your future if you dont spay and neuter! It can even happen faster than this chart says since KITTENS can get pregnant at about 5 months! We need to stop kittens from having kittens! Fix by five!

This is Liam.
💔
We scooped him up last Friday at a recent site.
He did not look like his siblings. He was tiny, slower, and had no energy. Since he and his litter were all starving, we suspect their Mom abandoned them or was killed.
Sadly, with the very best care, he passed.
Thank you to Nine Lives & More Rescue. Shelley stepped up to help this litter. It's hard and exhausting work.
There are some who dislike TNR (trap, neuter, return). For kittens like Liam, I DO NOT understand how they can feel that way.
If Liam's parents had been tnr'd, he would NOT have suffered.
We have no idea how long he and his siblings were without food.
I am devastated by the loss of this one tiny kitten. He was sweet. He wanted to live but the cards were stacked against him.
Let's not forget kittens like Liam. They are out there waiting for help. We must make it a priority to spay and neuter our pets. Just because we don't see the suffering, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This IS something we CAN change in our communities.
In rescue, we constantly have our hearts shattered. We cry, we vent, and then we find more to help. We don't like this cycle but the work we do is necessary.
I once had a conversation with someone who didn't support TNR because they thought it would cause cats to go extinct. If you had a true glimpse of the serious cat overpopulation in our country...you know like I do...that's nearly impossible.
Remember Liam and TNR one community/ stray cat. You will have saved many Liams. ❤️
He IS THE REASON I TNR.

New roommates to Whiskers Hope! The brother and sister duo were found in a yard where there are numerous cats. They were helped by a neighbor who syringe fed them until we found a foster. They are safe and sound now and we are making plans to spay and neuter the cats in the neighborhood.
Welcome little ones...❤️

Yesterday was another exciting day in rescue. While picking up the last cat to at a colony, the resident informed us that another litter of kittens was found in one of their unused buildings. It seems that one of the cats we trapped and returned had a litter of kittens before we trapped her. 😞 So grateful the kittens survived without her for a couple of days. Always a fear when trapping a colony of cats is leaving nursing kittens behind.
This litter of 7, was spotted playing just inside the door. One very tiny kitten seemed slower and less mobile. We grabbed him immediately and got him back to start him on food and getting him warm. Then we went back with more "tools" to grab the kittens. They were starving so it didn't take long to get them. One was so spicy, definitely "habanero" level of spiciness!
Today is spay run to Renton, so we would be gone most of the day. What was I going to do with 7 tiny kittens needing care?
I reached out to Nine Lives & More Rescue and they accepted these babies. So grateful!!
So we are currently on our way to Renton with 10 cats and kittens for spay appointments.
Kitten season doesn't seem to be letting up. If you see/find kittens, started getting them used to humans. Play with them. Feed them from your hands. This will give them the best opportunity to find indoor homes. Outdoor life for cats here is difficult and dangerous.
AND at the very least make plans to spay the parents of the kittens.
Want to help us continue our mission? Every donation makes a difference in the lives of these cats.

🍂🐾 Let’s talk about keeping food dry and water clean in the fall & winter! ❄️💧

We love these DIY feeding stations, made from a large clear tote. They’re easy for you and the kitties 😺 to access, while giving cats a safe spot where no predators can sneak up. 👀✨ The plexiglass overhang (look closely 👇) is genius—keeping rain out so the kitties and food stay dry! 🐈‍⬛🛡️
