When you adopt from us, you are making a lifelong commitment to protect that animal. Our adoption contract is not optional—it is a binding pledge to keep your cat safe, secure, and cared for for its entire natural life.

Let us be absolutely clear: allowing your cat outdoors is not “giving them freedom”—it is negligence. Cars, predators, disease, and countless other risks make it a matter of when, not if, tragedy occurs. There are no exceptions to this.

Today, we learned of yet another preventable loss. One of our babies—just one month past his first birthday—was killed after being let outside. This should never have happened. It is heartbreaking and unacceptable.

Because of this, we are implementing significantly stricter adoption guidelines—just as many responsible rescues already do for this exact reason. If that feels excessive, then this is not the right rescue for you. Our responsibility is to the animals, not to your convenience.

We invest immense time, resources, and care into every life we save. These cats rely entirely on humans for their safety. Failing to provide that is a failure of the commitment you agreed to.

If you intend to allow a cat to roam outdoors, do not apply. Our cats are not “street smart.” They are not equipped to navigate traffic, predators like coyotes and owls, or the many dangers outside. They depend on you to keep them alive.

Take that responsibility seriously—because the alternative is exactly what we are grieving today.

Rest easy Pixel. I’m sorry I failed you. 🌈

Good afternoon and happy Monday! Whew… what a weekend—it’s been kitten chaos over here!

First, the best news: adoption day was a win! Two lucky kitties are officially off the market 🎉 Huge congratulations to Killian, one of our farm boys, and Jasmine, our tiny white princess. Jasmine still has a few stops to make (vaccines + surgery) before heading home, but her new family is already counting down the days. Big Brother Big Sister program for the win!

Now… onto the chaos portion of our programming.

We’ve had a few unexpected new residents join the clan. Apparently, kitten dumping is becoming a trend we’d very much like to unsubscribe from. Four beautiful babies were left at the dump—no momma in sight. My husband’s weekly Sunday visit turned out to be a rescue (thank you to the guys there for keeping them safe until he arrived- I think?😳). At this point, I’m seriously considering putting him on house arrest… because every time he leaves, he comes back with kittens!

And just when we thought we could catch our breath—surprise! A family member showed up with three little beans she found in her yard. Mom is on-site, and we’re working on trapping her so we can get the whole family safe and sorted.

The good news? Our amazing fosters are stepping up and helping us make room for all these little nuggets. The reality? More kittens = more food, more supplies, more everything and most importantly - more homes needed.

Here’s a few shots of our newest foster crew—aren’t they just the cutest little troublemakers? I promise I’ll get photos of the rest of our gang and update you on how they are doing as soon as I catch up on… well… literally everything else in life 😅

Also—thank you to everyone reaching out with adoption inquiries. It truly means the world to us! But please, I can’t say it enough… don’t forget about last year’s kittens. There are still so many waiting patiently for their chance—not just with us, but across all rescues. If you’re considering adopting, think about pairing a kitten with an older kitty. There are so many benefits: built-in companionship, better socialization, and honestly… a much happier home for everyone involved.

Thank you for riding this wild kitten rollercoaster with us—we truly couldn’t do it without you! 🐾💛

Good morning and happy Saturday! I hope everybody is prepared for the weather today!
But that’s not stopping us! Rain or shine!

Today from 11 to 2 is our infamous monthly adoption day! We have lots of beautiful cats with all kinds of striking personalities, waiting for you to come and adopt them and give them the forever love that they deserve.

Mr Mochas Pet Supplies 11-2

We will see you there!

Good morning 🤍

Thank you for your patience while I navigate some deeply personal family health challenges. The truth is, my father is currently fighting for his life, and without hesitation, I’ve put everything else on hold to be by his side where I’m needed most.

This morning, I woke up in an uncomfortable hospital chair to the most beautiful sunrise—quiet, steady, and full of promise. It felt like a gentle reminder that even in the hardest moments, there is still hope… and there is still a new day ahead.

I am incredibly grateful to all of you who have rallied around to help keep things moving while I pause.

Because of your support, our adoption day is still happening! Saturday, May 2nd from 11–2 at Mr Mochas Pet Supplies 🐾 Come by to meet the kitties, choose your new best friend, and fill out an adoption application. We have LOTS of unique personalities, and I’m sure you’ll find your perfect match!

We have so many kitties who have been waiting far too long, watching new litters come in while they’re still without a home. It’s not fair for them to be left behind—they deserve love, stability, and a family of their own.

Help us empty the rescue and make room for kitties still waiting for help. Every one of these babies deserves a loving family.

Holding onto hope today 🤍

Good morning and happy Monday, everyone.

There’s been so much happening lately that it’s been hard to keep you all updated, but I want to take a moment to share where things stand.

First and foremost—thank you. 🙏Truly. To every single person who has sent food, litter, paper towels, and supplies… you are making this work possible. Your support is what keeps us going as we try to keep up with the ever-growing population. You are heroes to these cats, whether you realize it or not.

On a heartbreaking note, we did lose one of the Kittens that the County guys found in a box abandoned in the woods.💔 Cosmo came to us in devastating condition, infested with maggots, and despite everything we did, her little body just couldn’t fight through it. I held her close to my heart until she took her final breath. She knew love and compassion the whole four short weeks of her life. It is incredibly difficult to process the reality that someone discarded these babies like they were nothing. Cosmo deserved so much more. Your brothers will continue to be strong while you watch over us all.

Rest easy, beautiful baby.🌈

Whoever did this—what you did is cruelty, plain and simple. An innocent life paid the price, and that will never be okay. ( I will keep what I really wanna say to myself.)

In the midst of it all, the work continues. This morning, I dropped off six kitties at Sheltering Hands—some for TNR, some for spay procedures. Every step forward matters.

🫂I also want to give a heartfelt thank you to Angel and Christine for stepping up to help with transport while I’m balancing a family member’s declining health. This is exactly what it means when we say it takes a village. I couldn’t do this without you.

I know there are more updates, however, I will catch you up soon. I will be out of town for a couple of days spending time with my family during this difficult moment in our lives.

Thank you all for standing with us, for caring, and for continuing to fight alongside us for these animals. 💛

Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to share a quick update while I had a moment.

Our tiny four-day-old beans we welcomed on Monday—Special K, Froot Loop, and Mini Wheat—have been keeping us busy. Unfortunately, we have some sad news. Sweet Mini Wheat has passed away. We knew from the start that he was weaker than the other two, and we kept his health closely guarded for that very reason. We gave him everything we had, we took him to see a vet, took him to a foster, who is, in our opinion an expert in neonates, but it just wasn’t enough.

Though his time with us was far too short, he knew love, warm meals, soft blankets, and gentle, caring hands. He received the very best care possible, and he was never alone.

This loss is heartbreaking for all of us, especially his devoted foster mama, Lori. Mini Wheat may have been small, but he left the biggest little paw prints on our hearts.🐾

On a brighter note, Special K and Froot Loop are still thriving and continuing to grow stronger each day. We’re holding them close and pouring all our love into them.

Rest easy, little Mini Wheat. 🌈You were so loved.❤️

Good evening! Hoping everyone is enjoying a peaceful night 💫

After yesterday’s adventures, I took a much-needed break from the chaos out on the streets and spent the day focusing on our newest little arrivals.

The farm crew—Nemo, Maizy, and Mango—along with our prissy princesses Fiona and Jasmine, and tiny puffball Cricket, all made a field trip to Sheltering Hands today for vaccinations, deworming, and flea treatment. Cheeto, already up to date, tagged along as moral support (and took his job very seriously).

Little Cricket gave us a bit of a scare with some conjunctivitis, but she’s now on antibiotics and doing so much better—her eyes are open and she can see the world around her 💛

Our tiniest newborns are continuing to thrive, all snuggled up together in their incubator, staying warm and cozy as they grow stronger each day.

We are still a bit guarded with one of the babies, so we’ll be taking her to the vet tomorrow to have her checked over and make sure she’s on the right track.

We’re also still working on names for these little neonates—stay tuned, because we know their personalities will shine through soon enough and help us decide.

And let’s not forget about the other side of Rescue…. ADOPTIONS!! we will be at Mr. Mochas Pet Supplies the first Saturday of the month with some of the most spectacular kitties you’ll ever meet! We hope to see you all there!

Stay tuned for some fabulous photo updates.🤓

‼️We are officially closed for intakes‼️

We are at capacity, and our resources are stretched thin.

And yet… today didn’t get that memo.

Our day started with a rescue alongside the county road crew—but it didn’t stop there.

We answered a call about three abandoned kittens and their young mom. Too young. Too overwhelmed. She tried her best. She left them.
One didn’t make it.
We took the rest.
We will be back for mom Sunday, our next available trapping day.

At just 4 days old, they already know what abandonment and struggle feel like—but today, their future changed.

But wait… it didn’t end there.

While I was retrieving the babies and coordinating a plan to trap mom and dad, I spotted something… something fluffy.
Then I realized—it couldn’t see me. Its eyes were completely crusted over.

And there was no way I was leaving even one behind.

So now, with four tiny babies in tow… we came home and did what we always do—rearranged, reworked, and made space where there wasn’t any… for four more kittens and a 1-year-old cat.

Monday is over.

Attention attention!

Do we have any experienced bottle feeders in the crowd please raise your hand.

UPDATE:
A quick visit to Marion County and it is revealed we have a girl. Shes now vaccinated and microchipped. She’s approximately 1 year old. She sustained a few small injuries during her stay in the roller and a few old scars that I’m sure have stories. At some point she had babies but not recently. It’s unimaginable to think she was dumped at the location, but we will never know! She’s safe now and scheduled for a spay and we will look to place her in a loving home. Thank you Marion County road crew for bringing me YET another cat. (Remember last week 3 kittens 🤔)

Geez, it’s only Monday morning and the week has already started! While dropping off Seven Kats at Sheltering Hands to get spayed and neutered, I got a call from Marion County roads department (my husband‘s crew) telling me that there is a crying cat stuck up underneath their roller and they can’t do their work until the cat is rescued. Needless to say, I made a detour from Sheltering Hands to the location and was able to retrieve the cat who was stuck up above the axle on a roller. We will now begin the journey of getting him the help he needs. So much for a peaceful day of paperwork!

Stay tuned for updates!
