Meet Prince Charming. He came from the streets in front of a home that looks like a castle. The caretaker had been feeding him there for 3 years and he’s estimated between 5-10 years old.

He’s the sweetest guy! But he had an eye issue and needed a dental so Kristin and I booked him an appointment and took him to
Columbia Veterinary Hospital in Astoria OR. They even saw he needed BOTH eyes done. He also got a dental cleaning and one tooth pulled.

Prince Charming, bless his little heart, has to wear the cone for 2 weeks but once that’s all over, he will be ready for a home. He’s the sweetest guy, everyone loves him. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, he’s your guy. He gets along with other kitties also. He is just a chill dude - appreciating soft, warm beds instead of out in the rain and sleeping in the cold on hard ground. 💔

Since it was a 3.5 hour commute one way for him, we stayed the day and decided to save washed up jellyfish on the beach. We used a piece of wood to make us a gurney and put them back in the ocean. 😂

Everything deserves to be saved and have a second chance at life. ❤️

Oh my heart. ❤️🥰

Recently I have been thinking about the Siamese litter that almost died because of panleukopenia and (before I knew what they had), I battled to keep them alive. All four survived with intense treatment (SubQ fluids, syringe feeding, anti-nausea medicine, appetite stimulant, vitamin B injections etc).

Yesterday, out of the blue, the adopters for Mr Green and Scarlet (they were named after Clue because of their colored collars since they all looked alike), anyways, the owner reached out and sent pics and an update and I had tears in my eyes as I read the note and looked at the pictures.

I loved these four sooooo much and would have kept them all (they’re just like my Franklin who is my heart kitty) but I don’t keep the adoptable ones, I keep the ones no one wants to adopt).

I have the contact who adopted Col Mustard and Mrs White but I am not sure if reaching out is being intrusive.

Maybe they will see this and share their pics. But look at how big and beautiful Mr Green and Scarlet are. ❤️😭❤️ and they love them so so much and this makes my heart so happy.

They moved out of the bottle feeder’s home today to another foster who had an entire room for them to play in. ❤️🥰

Hello all, Abby here.
I’ve been working behind the scenes doing what I can for the rescue since having a baby (shout out to Misti and the team doing amazing work!).
I’m so excited to take on a project I’ve wanted to do for years — our first annual cat calendar 🐈‍⬛

We are opening a contest to find the best cat photos! Entries are open to all, and voting will be open to all.

One lucky cat will be on the cover and receive a free calendar. Twelve runner ups will be our featured cats of the month and receive 50% off a calendar. Twelve additional cats will be included in the calendar as smaller photo features and receive 25% off a calendar.

Rules:
✅ Anyone may enter
✅ Must be photos of your cat OR a cat you have fostered
✅ Entry is $20 donation per photo. Enter as many as you like.
✅ Photos must belong to you and be real. No AI, no stolen photos.

How to enter:
❗️𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐎𝐜𝐭 𝟏𝟐𝐭𝐡 @ 𝟏𝟏:𝟓𝟗𝐩𝐦(𝐏𝐒𝐓)❗️
- Email us at [email protected]. Include the photo(s) you want to submit, as well as the cat’s name(s) and your name.
- Send donation of $20/photo and put “calendar” in the notes:
👉 venmo -felines (no fees)
👉 credit/debit donation through feistyfelines.org (includes cc processing fee, and the givebutter platform tries to apply an automatic tip at checkout — the tip does not come to us — it goes to the site, so please be sure to change the tip to zero if you don’t want to tip givebutter).
👉 Cash or check to Misti in Rochester (let us know if you need the address, payment must be received before the deadline).

We plan to have the calendar ready in November. They will be available for local pick up in Rochester, Lacey, Nisqually, Tacoma, or Gig Harbor. Or can be shipped anywhere in the US. We will open pre-orders soon.

Please spread the word! 🐾

The “income” hahah… there is none of that.

But it’s the outcome that matters 😻❤️

This big, beautiful boy is available for adoption! His name is Houdini. He came from the hoarder house with the other rag dolls.

He is so sweet! He is just scared and needs a little extra time to get comfortable with his new people. ❤️

Hi peeps! We have been chosen again by a table at a charity event at L&I to be the beneficiary of the dessert table sales.

If anyone wants to bake some goodies that would add to our proceeds, the event is Wednesday Oct 22nd and items would (preferably) need to be dropped off at L&I in Tumwater on Linderson between 7:30-10:30 am or if needed, to me, Misti, the night before in Rochester. 🙂

Let me know if you want to bake or buy some dessert items to donate! ❤️🙏 items will be best single serve, ie cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, popcorn bags etc But we can cut a cake or pie or something and dish up. ❤️

Rescues or shelters local to me:

Anyone have the conjugate (blue liquid) for SNAP combo/triple tests that’s lot GZ368 that they have leftover?

Apparently the conjugate is test specific. Had no idea. Left mine out for a week and it’s trash and I have almost a whole box of tests that I no longer have conjugate for and Idexx is out of that conjugate (and boxes of tests matching the lot number). 🥴

Also 🤯 I had NO idea the tests have to match the conjugate. Also, did you know, when you open the foil, the test has to be used within 2 hours or it’s trash. 🤯😭💔 so tests I opened last night before I found out my conjugate was left out have to be thrown away even though I put them back in the fridge 😞

We also have one solo test for KY359 if anyone has that box and wants another test. Expires Oct 31.
