Peep’s medical care took top priority the last couple weeks. ❤️‍🩹

But finally …
We’re ready to introduce the “Folklore Trio”. 🍃🍄🪾

These babies are 9 weeks old and ready to find their forever homes. They are all very sweet, playful and have their own personalities. But they LOVE having playmates! They would do great in homes with other pets.
Spays and neuter will be scheduled very soon.

Windigo - aka Windie - black medium hair female
Krakin - aka Kinny - black shorthair female
and
Choopakabra - aka Choop - seal point shorthair male

They’re all fed up with me because I interrupted afternoon playtime. 😆

Please share to help us find these little ones loving homes!

If interested in adopting, please send us a message providing your email address (we request serious inquiries only).

🧡🐥Peep, Peepers, Peep da Peep, Peepee🐥🧡

My heart is so very broken right now, so this is very hard for me to post. But I have sworn to stay honest, transparent and true.

Peep started to rapidly decline yesterday into late last night. His mentality changed, couldn’t be comfortable for long, was fighting against his feedings and was having a hard time regulating his temperature. Despite antibiotics for two weeks, fluid therapy and intensive home care - I could tell we weren’t making the improvements we were hoping for.
Last night he looked at me almost as if to say, “Ma, I’m so tired. I don’t know if I can fight anymore.” I asked him to hang on for me for one more night, if for anything at least the cuddles.

We rechecked his bloodwork today which showed that despite everything, all of my fears were true. His kidney values were worse as well as his blood chemistry. His quality of life was diminishing.

The look in his tired eyes told me everything I needed to know. I couldn’t prolong any suffering he may be dealing with. Tomorrow couldn’t be a promise. I loved him too much to let that happen. I wrapped him up in my arms for cuddles preparing myself to let him go. I nuzzled his little head that was tucked into my neck, pet him and told him over and over that I loved him, and kissed his little nose as my tears fell into his fur. We were graced to have that time together.
As the vet staff were saying their goodbyes, he began to panic trying to get back into my arms. I was his place of comfort and solitude, my arms is where he felt so very safe and loved. His breathing became irregular and I asked my coworker to please go get his doctor right away, fearing he was painfully starting to slip away as his body was too weak.

With a breaking heart and tears streaming from my eyes, I kissed his little nose one more time and told him how much I loved him a couple more times as we peacefully let him go.

I know I tried so hard and gave him a chance, but I am still grieving with the thought that I failed him. Breaking my own heart was the only way I could make sure his didn’t.
The only thing that gives me any break from my grief is remembering that he never didn’t know how much I loved him from the moment he came into my life.

I will always remember him as he was before he got sick. That playful, ornery but oh so sweet little orangie boy. That’s how I see him being at The Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🐾

Peep says Happy Boom Boom Day! 🎆
He’s having a good day today in spirits but have been having to syringe feed. Crossing our fingers for a Hail Mary to get him headed in the right direction. 🤞🏼

Peep’s bloodwork hasn’t improved so we’re adding in some more medications and preparing for further diagnosis and discussing treatments. 🤞🏼
If he does have what we’re dreading, treatment is going to be quite expensive. We could really, really use some help! Donations go directly to our veterinary account to help us continue to care for these kitten nuggets. Anything helps tremendously.

🧡💛 Peep could use some prayers, thoughts and good vibes sent his way. 💛🧡

Last week he had a rough go after his vaccination appointment. He bounced back after about a day but shortly after his appetite decreased. He was still eating but wasn’t finishing meals like his normal VERY food enthusiastic self. He did get the broad spectrum deworming as well - so we thought it could be due to that. I started some probiotics hoping it would get his tummy back on track.
A couple more days went by and he was sleeping a bit more but would romp and play and was still eating some at meal and snack times. I Panleukopenia tested him just due to paranoia (and my PTSD from last year 😅) which came back negative.
Saturday I thought we were making a turn around with him finishing meals and being even more rambunctious again. Then we regressed again on Sunday.
He got vet checked today and noticed a mild abnormality in his abdomen on physical palpation, so we took some X-rays to rule out GI blockage. Concerned with imaging around his kidneys we opted for an ultrasound, urinalysis and full bloodwork with a Felv/FIV test.
Imaging showed slightly enlarged kidneys. Urinalysis showed a hefty UTI. And then the bloodwork showed his kidneys aren’t happy. He had negative results on his Felv and FIV tests.
I’m really hoping the UTI is just putting strain on his little body which is stressing out his kidneys, but we won’t know for a few days if treating just that is going to be the fix-all or if we need to dive into bigger diagnostics.
Got him started on antibiotics right away and doing fluid therapy at home (weren’t able to make his catheter attempt cooperate for IV fluids). He will be under my constant attention and as long as nothing worsens we’ll likely recheck values on Thursday before the long holiday weekend to track his progress.
Our vet team is phenomenal but I can’t help but worry about him and terrified that we could be battling something that may end up being extensive if the UTI isn’t the underlying cause to his issues.
The added bummer is we were hoping to get Peep adopted out to his new home this week! 🥺 For now his adoption is on immediate hold until we get his medical needs addressed.
Please send him all your well wishes! I could use some too because I’m a worried mama right now! But I will fight for him the entire way.

Constantly catching Mouse playing with her tiny feet! Her paw/eye coordination is improving by the day! Such a mighty tiny thing! 🩶🐭

🩶🤍
This tiny 2 week old weighing in at 0.55lb is our newest nugget making her debut!
I’ve been having a hard time getting her to nurse, but still was making sure she was getting enough food.
Well, today she decided canned food slurries with formula mixed in is the bees knees 🐝 and scarfed down an entire meal, then was MAD when it was all gone.
I’m so elated that we’ve made it past this road block and can’t wait to watch her grow and thrive!
Still trying to come up with a name for her. But for now I’ve been calling her Mouse. 🐭

Peep screaming with excitement that he had a meet and greet today! It went great!
We will continue to accept applications for the next week or two (meet and greets able to be arranged once applications are completed) while we try to select the best home and family for him. But the sooner, the better at the chance of this little man - because I’m pretty sure he stole some hearts today!

We do have some up and comings (currently in quarantine and under veterinary care), and also some older kittens and adult cats also looking for furever families.

To receive an application, all you have to do is message us with your email address, or email us at [email protected]! If you are interested in a certain kitto - please mention in your message or email!

Jason, at it again. 🧡 From the moment he heard the tiny mews when I brought little one home, he’s been obsessed. Jason is my go to resident cat that I introduce to kittens first. He’s so loving and nurturing to the little tiny ones. He’s grooms them, plays with them and shows them “how to cat”.
