Lone Star Kittens

Koopa says thank you to the kind person who sent the canned food from his favorite website! Koopa knows what they are and he’s literally rubbing his cheeks on the packaging and purring while making the best biscuits he can with his wobbly body so I tried to capture it on video to show you how much he truly appreciates it! All he needs now is a can opener or a set of thumbs.

Koopa has been with us for almost two years now and it’s hard to believe he’s been here for so long! He’s currently on the mend from an infected abscess in his back left leg and then he’s finally ready to hit the adoption market once he’s 100% healed from that. We’ve accepted that he probably won’t ever walk or use a litter box again like we were hoping but he’s not bothered by it and he does great with his diapers. Hopefully we will also be able to start taking in kittens again once he finds his forever family. It’s been a very stressful year so far behind the scenes both financially and medically and it’ll feel good to get things back on track. Koopa is a cuddly little love-bug and he’s absolutely worth the special care he needs once you get to know him! He’s the perfect Netflix watching buddy because all he ever wants to do is sleep and cuddle. He’s also a big fan of online shopping but we’ll try to hide his bad habits for now and not admit how much this boy likes to spend on chewy.com 🫢

Baby Bodhi is feeling better, he has truly been blessed to survive this virus with how sick he was. He’s one of the toughest kittens ever born and he never considered giving up even when he was too weak to walk to the litterbox or eat on his own. These last two weeks have been nonstop critical care and stress over him so it’s amazing to be able to breathe again and see him finally healing. He’s currently 7 weeks old and weighing in at 321 grams so it’s a miracle that he’s alive at all but his appetite is back in full force and his digestive system has regulated so all he needs to do now is gain weight and get his energy back. He’s on high calorie supplements in addition to the small meals he eats on his own so hopefully he catches up to his sister in size soon, she weighs over twice what he does so he has a lot of eating to do! He looks a little bit sad in photos but he’s actually a nonstop purr/cuddle machine. He doesn’t have energy to play yet but he sure does love spending all day napping in warm laps and he enjoys wiggling his tail while he watches his sister tackle her new Valerian infused toys.
He will also be getting his promised new cat tree as soon as he’s stronger and ready for it ♥️

Things have been very slow this year on the rescue end.
We had some personal health issues behind the scenes and a very expensive emergency vet hospitalization in April and have been working on rebuilding funds and focusing on the stability of our 3 special needs adult cats. Recently we took on a temporary litter of kittens to help wean and get them big enough for transport but Panleukopenia decided to change those plans and while the last two surviving kittens are still fighting, we probably won’t be able to intake any new kittens for awhile due to the expenses from these and I’m honestly a little bit paranoid that things will never be disinfected well enough so once these kittens are better I will focus on completely replacing most of the blankets and beds/toys in the kitten room.
I haven’t wanted to post about these kittens because I don’t know if they’re going to make it but we have been getting some intake requests this week for bottle babies so I wanted to post a small update about what’s going on and why it doesn’t feel safe for us to take on any new babies at the moment.

Baby Bodhi is a tough ginger man who is still fighting and trying his best to beat this virus.
Baby Buddha is his solid gray sister and she is probably through the worst of it and seems to be in recovery but things can turn fast so she isn’t out of the woods yet.
They are 6 weeks old and only weigh around 1lb so they are tiny nuggets but they are both very tough.
Baby Bodhi has been promised his very own brand new full sized cat tree if he survives so maybe bribery will work, he really likes to climb🤞

Koopa has been doing great with keeping on his diapers but even after being expressed he still sometimes uses 6-7 a day when his tummy is upset and he has been expensive! He had gotten down to his last pack and I hadn’t had any luck finding a human baby size to fit him right and save some money. Well this week we got extremely lucky and found an amazing community on an app called Whatnot and we were able to buy him LOTS of cheap diapers and he even had one kind person on there purchase more diapers for him too! Normally he stays in his bedroom with plastic lined floors and potty pads but having diapers on means he gets to be out in the whole house with the family and it’s a huge quality of life increase for him. He still stays in his room overnight because he can’t stay in a diaper for 8 hours but it’s a huge stress relief to not have to worry about buying them for awhile! Animal people are the best people and he’s such a lucky little man who gets to have a lot more living room time. He would also like to share his recent cat toys! He may or may not share with the other kittens, you never know with Koopa 😅

Derpy Tiger is hoping to find a home for Catmas!
He’s super sweet and silly but he does talk nonstop, he’s very vocal for a ginger cat and he just talks to talk.
He’s a big personality and will bring alot of orange cat energy into your home.
He has even decided to put himself on clearance with a reduced adoption fee for the month of December in hopes it helps him find a home for the holidays.

His petfinder profile will be linked in the comment for more details about him.

Chococat is here to say “eat your fruits and vegetables!”
I’m not sure why he says that because he’s a kitten and eats neither of those things but he might just be loopy and feeling the exhaustion after helping pawtograph some of the holiday cards.
The first round of cards have been mailed out!

If anyone else is interested or if you have a loved one who might enjoy receiving a card with kitty cheer, the link is in the previous post and I’ll be removing it once we run out and will be mailing all remaining cards by the 20th.

Today is a busy day!

4 kittens went in to be neutered today.

Baby Ginger was returned from foster care last night and Koopa is very happy to have his little buddy back, he takes good care of all the small kittens and makes sure they don’t miss any grooming time.
Koopa also finally found some diapers that he doesn’t scoot out of so he’s excited to be allowed on the couch again 😅

Chococat is feeling a lot better! His wounds are healing great, he still has a slight limp but he doesn’t want to slow down.

Another new kitten joining the group!
This is Chococat, he’s about 6 weeks old and was brought to a local shelter after being found in a car engine. He has a small burn on his back foot, a cut on his face, and a limp in his front left leg but he’s doing great so far. He will most likely be ready for adoption in January if all goes well.
He came in at a great time because we got a lot of kitten food donated right after he arrived so he will be eating good! Thank you so much to everyone who supports the kittens here with donations and post interactions, every life matters and it’s a great feeling to have help providing for the little nuggets.
