As Summer arrives, so does kitten season!

The kitties whom are growing big and strong to be able to progress on to adoption are doing great! I really appreciate all the support and love that has been shown!

Today we went on a rescue mission and got 3 new babies, whom are only a few days old. They rode in the engine of a rental vehicle from Yukon to Moore. They are eating great and are all nice and warm. One baby was given to someone else and I hope that baby is doing good. I will do all I can to raise these 3 so that they can be adopted into loving homes.

Today is a day that is hard for me. So many of yall have been a part of this program for years and knew the amazing lady who taught and helped me so much in growing this program into what it had become.

Pam Sansbury was one of the best people I could ever hope to meet. She had so many things that she had taught me, we celebrated the wins and mourned the losses. When our seizure kitty came into the program, she had no problem stepping up for Apollo and later adopted him herself. She pushed me to do better, to learn more, and to become the best person and rescuer I could be.

While I miss Pam everyday, I am so proud to have considered her my best friend. Fly high sweet lady and continue loving on all of the furry babies who come your way. You are missed daily and I still have moments where I grab my phone to call you to either bu****it or ask for advise and that pain that you are no longer here hits again. I love you and miss you my dear sweet friend!

I found this on the front porch this morning! The babies are all happy and thankful (as am I!)

Absolutely love the amazing people that follow, and help, and help keep me going to be able to help the babies!

(There was no gift tag with the package, and that is why there isn’t a pic to thank them!)

Are you ready? Are you ready to see who all I have been helping and kinda hiding from yall? Lol

All of these babies came off of an EOD list. Ready for their reveal? lol. Beware! We have 2 with eye infections and all 12 need baths!

No one has names yet, and we go thru a case(24 cans) of fancy feast kitten wet food a day already! These kids love to eat!

I will also post their shelter cards after their pics!

Here is their wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2ZFFF3TCKD3NL?ref_=wl_share

Some of yall are also followers of the various animal shelter pages, and most all of us are softies when it comes to our 4 legged friends. There are 3 letters on a shelter post that crush my heart every single damned time I see them…. EOD…. the same 3 letters that, especially for the babies that are too small for adoption and need specialized care, suck! EOD means End Of Day…. For my closest largest shelter, that means at 5pm these tiny babies who need help, who don’t belong at the shelter, will lose their lives if someone does not step up.

I am someone…. I also have too big of a heart sometimes and most times definitely should not be the one in charge of making decisions! Lol! But, and I tend to forget this sometimes…. I am simply 1 someone! I can only do so much, and to even do that much, I do need help and support! That’s where those of you reading this are so critical to those of us who are able to open our homes, our hearts, and our dust lined empty wallets to contribute our drops of water into the overflowing bucket. My home state is in an animal crisis, and I would rather lose sleep, stay broke, and have my heart broken daily by doing what I can do to help, then have plenty of sleep, a little extra money, and free time. At the end of the day, I would go back to having an empty heart and be sick at my stomach knowing I have the skills to help these babies, but it wasn’t convenient…

Anyway, I am going to spend some time resting my knee before I try to get up and moving to try to make some money tonight. I should be finally posting a wishlist and pics of each of the absolutely adorable little lives that now have a chance at forever since I tend to lead with my heart! Stay posted as we embark back onto a journey that likes to try to take my sanity some days!

I know I said that the rescue was closed…

I still have no adoption center, no fosters, and we weren’t receiving donations which made it really hard to continue fighting to keep things going.

What I did (and still do have) is the knowledge, love, and time, as well as a couple of friends who are awesome at relieving me so I can work. This allows me to try to help the neonatal kittens that my heart has always driven me to helping. It has been exetremely hard on my heart now having babies for almost 2 years now. I feel like I also gave up a huge part of myself.

That being said, it is just me. A whole one woman show! I will have to seek out a larger rescue I can work with for when any babies I raise are weaned and getting ready for shots and vaccinations. Once I find a partnering rescue I will announce that. No, I am not opening intakes. Trust me, babies always find me!!! And because it’s been a while, I am not looking to take on the tiny bottle babies I have always loved just yet. There will be a post begging for supplies as any perishable supplies are long gone due to having expired.

But, let’s get this show back on the road! I will make a post later showing what I have held so close to my chest for over a week now!

As we get closer to the New Year I honestly get more heartbroken. This rescue has been my life for the last few years, and as we all know, goodbyes and loss are hard. Thank you for everyone who has commented and shown me your “glow ups” of babies that my team helped you find. Those have meant the world to me!! I am so grateful for the lives we changed, even with the losses we suffered.

I still think the funniest follow up we had over the years was an adopter who thought their female kitty was pregnant! Sometimes things slip thru the cracks, especially in high volume clinics! I did have to send another thru that his neuter was not done, lol. Anyway, I explained to the adopter that we can do the spay now and stop the pregnancy or we can wait, sterilize the kittens and momma and adopt out the kittens. He chose to wait. So I checked in a couple of times with this family, and realized that hey, we should have babies…. I called to follow up and asked and when the story started with “yeahhhhhh, about that…” I knew it would be a good one! Turns out that the kitty WAS actually spayed and she had been soaking up the royal treatment until her Vet finally realized it and ruined her game!

Anyways, I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year!!

It is absolutely breaking my heart to write this post

In 2019, I along with a former friend, got the bright idea to start Okie Kitty Kisses Rescue. We had both fostered for other rescues and are passionate about helping animals. As the last of the stimulus money was distributed, I paid all of the state and federal fees to get the 501(c)(3) to both make OKKR official and legitimate. The 501 was approved in April 2020.

The last 5 years have taught me a lot. I have met some incredible people that I am honored to call friends, but I have also met and dealt with some people that even if they were on fire I wouldn’t do a damned thing to help them. While I will always feel that I didn’t do enough because of the constant issues of not enough donations and the never ending struggle of not having space to bring in anymore animals. Due to this, I have fought Compassion Fatigue for quite a while.

I honestly feel that I made a huge mistake by trusting some of the wrong people in the last couple of years, people that would smile in my face about how much they loved me and valued my friendship, while sinking a rather large knife into my back. Sadly I didn’t realize this about them for quite a while, which is my fault.

I have lost quite a bit over the last five years. While at times it felt like I was losing my sanity, I lost a lot of sleep, damaged personal relationships that about destroyed me, and I put my own health on the back burner for way too long. I have had a minor stroke, had people call me everything but a white woman when they were told I wasn’t in a position to help with an animal, and I have watched my blood pressure rise higher as time went by. I have also developed a very strong dislike of the human population in general. Oh and I have one hell of an outstanding vet bill that I get to figure out personally coming up with the money to pay.

It breaks my heart to have to announce that as we say goodbye to 2025 and ring in 2026 in the next couple of weeks, I am also having to say goodbye to Okie Kitty Kisses Rescue as I close the door to that dream.

I wish I could have done more. I wish I could keep my rescue going. I wish the events that have happened for me to make this decision hadn’t happened. But sadly, wishes rarely come true. Thank you to everyone that has stood there with me to keep my dream alive and to help me help as many animals as we did. Thank you for being a friend!
