🐾 Meet Mira. 💕

When we first met Mira, she was at risk of becoming another statistic in the cycle of unwanted kittens. She could have been pregnant right now—and if no one had stepped in, she could have spent her young life having litter after litter.

But Delphi Cat Wellness Project was able to intervene. ❤️

Mira is now on the road to a forever home—and a future where she will never have to be pregnant or raise kittens. Instead, she gets to be exactly what every cat deserves to be: loved, safe, and cherished.

This is why spay/neuter matters. One intervention can change an entire lifetime—and prevent generations of unwanted kittens.

Mira’s story is a success story. 🐱💗

Help us create more stories like hers by supporting Delphi Cat Wellness Project. Every donation helps us reach the next cat who needs us.

Because every cat deserves a chance to just be a cat. 🐾

We have a $200 deficit and more kittens waiting in the wings, so please donate if you can: https://www.delphicatwellnessproject.org/donate

Millie is such a wonderful cat. She just has to be your only cat.

This is Sophia, she is currently fighting an upper respiratory infection (like many other cats and kittens right now). Know the signs and what to do!

🐱 Upper Respiratory Infections in Cats & Kittens: What You Need to Know

If your cat or kitten is sneezing, has runny eyes, or sounds congested, they may have an **upper respiratory infection (URI)**. URIs are very common in cats—especially kittens, shelter cats, and cats living in multi-cat environments.

**👀 Common signs include:**

* Sneezing or nasal congestion
* Runny nose
* Watery, red, or goopy eyes
* Coughing or noisy breathing
* Drooling or mouth ulcers
* Decreased appetite
* Lethargy or hiding
* Fever

**💊 How are they treated?**

Many mild URIs are caused by viruses and will improve with supportive care. Treatment may include keeping the cat warm and comfortable, gently cleaning the eyes and nose, providing strong-smelling wet food to encourage eating, and making sure they stay hydrated.

A veterinarian may prescribe **antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected**, eye medication for significant eye involvement, or other medications depending on the symptoms and underlying cause.

**⚠️ How serious is it?**

For a healthy adult cat, a URI is often uncomfortable but not life-threatening. **For young kittens, elderly cats, or cats with other health problems, however, a URI can become serious quickly.**

The biggest concerns are **dehydration, inability to eat, and difficulty breathing**. A congested kitten may stop eating because they can't smell their food, and very young kittens can deteriorate surprisingly fast.

🚨 **Seek veterinary care promptly if your cat or kitten:**

* Has difficulty breathing or is breathing with its mouth open
* Won't eat or drink
* Is extremely lethargic or difficult to wake
* Has severe eye discharge or swollen/closed eyes
* Becomes dehydrated
* Has symptoms that are getting worse rather than better

**Never give a cat human cold medicine.** Many medications that are safe for people can be dangerous or even fatal to cats.

❤️ Most importantly, don't assume that "it's just a cold." Watch closely, especially with kittens. Early care can make a big difference.

Lots of kitties going to vets for this stuff:

Do you or someone you know want to be a one cat home? There are two adorable cats in foster care right now that need to be the one and only queen in a home of their own.

Millie is a beautiful 2ish year old torti that loves to play. She was likely abandoned/ left behind by her owners and was a very freaked out indoor kitty living outside! She's made a lot of progress and now is very sweet but still needs to be in a home of her own. She's not keen on other animals.

Boo is a lovely mini-panther. She too was a bit traumatized when her owner died and she was plucked from the life she knew. But she has blossomed into a loving and playful kitty. She's very nervous around other animals so again she would also like to be in a home of her own.

Please reach out to My New Cat Rescue if you are interested in adopting either one of these beauties!!!!

FREE KITTENS AREN’T FREE

That adorable litter of “free kittens” can quickly become dozens of cats.

A female cat in heat can attract intact males from surprisingly far outside your neighborhood. Intact males will roam, sometimes miles from home, searching for females. One unspayed female can have multiple litters in a year—and her kittens can begin reproducing at just a few months old.

Luckily that will not be the case for this little one - at only 2.5 lbs (before she started eating kitten chow like no tomorrow) and 3 months old - Nina was likely to become a young mother in the near future. DCWP made sure that was not her fate.

So when someone says, “My cat stays inside,” or “There aren’t any intact cats around here,” remember: cats travel, especially when it comes to finding a mate.

🐾 Spay and neuter your cats.
🐾 Don’t give kittens away without making sure they have responsible homes.
🐾 If you’re feeding outdoor cats, please consider getting them fixed.

Because “free kittens” can become a community cat problem before you know it.

Spay. Neuter. Prevent the next litter. 🐱

Kittens aren't free....we accept all forms of payment. Please donate today: https://www.delphicatwellnessproject.org/donate

It has been a very busy week as we learned about not one, but two, groups of cats in Delphi that were on the verge of exploding due to pregnant females. One of those pregnant cats was Penelope, who you met last week. Both her and at least one of her sisters were pregnant (they are only about 10 months old themselves).

In addition to assisting with these situations, we became aware of an instance in which a cat owner had abandoned their cat outside in anticipation of a move out of town....counting on "someone" to help this cat.

Well, meet Franklin 😽

Once he is comfortable, he is ok with other cats, dogs and people. He has luxurious hair - thankfully, he loves being brushed!

We have gotten him up to date on his vaccinations (he was already spayed) and he is on a path to a furever home.

Boo was so traumatized when I met her and now she's so much braver! Someone needs a boo in their life
