The final half of the hoarding case from today.

🐈Cats/kittens 38
🐶Dogs: 3

Youngest: 2 days old
Oldest: 5 years old

Total lives saved: 41

We are completely full and closed for intake.

Everyone is set up in a spot and they are warm with full bellies. They have fresh clean litter boxes and clean water.

We are all exhausted and need to regroup not only as individuals, but as a team.

Today was a lot.

But tomorrow, there is hope for these faces and for that - we are grateful and will continue to find strength to push through.

Please continue sharing this story and donating if you are able to. This is a major case and a huge hit for a small rescue and we need all the help we can get. 🫶

Tomorrow there will be a LIVE for more information and Q&A.

We are ONLY halfway.

This is HALF of what we took today.

And this is what we have officially set up done full intake/medical assessment on, so far.

It has been 7.5 hours and it will be another several hours until we are stable and finished.

Please take the time to look at all of these faces.

Now they have names.
Now they have a chance.
Now they have a future.

We will do a LIVE once we are situated and explain as much as we can.

It will be a sleepless night, but these faces and all the others are worth every single minute.

This is the largest hoard we have done.
This will be THOUSANDS of dollars.
We will get a list out of the supplies we need, but right now - monetary is our biggest need.

If you can help in any way, now is the time. Donate, Foster, Share.

Hold us and these animals on your hearts.
The feeling in the evidence room between the volunteers and the animals is the heaviest thing we have felt in a while.

It is sad.
It smells so terrible we need to take turns on breaks every 15 minutes.
The fleas are everywhere.
The worms are hanging out their rear ends.
They are confused and shut down.

They all lived together. In a trailer.
Zero vetting. Ever.

If you are able to foster, please apply at www.castawaycritters.org.

There will be a LIVE explaining what happened here today with the newest case.

This is absolutely the biggest thing we have done here, but also carries more heartbreak than just pulling animals.

We need a few hours to get everything set up, situation and organized. We also need to take a little time to organize our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

We will go LIVE as soon as things are stable here. Thank you to everyone who has sent messages and checked on us. We are looking forward to sharing the new faces we saved.

Rita is here to say...

"GO BIRDS!" 🦅💚

11/06/2026

At this time, we cannot disclose all of the details on how we obtained this creature. When we are able to, we will.
And the story will break your heart.

However, she is entirely too special to NOT share her face.

This is what we call a "Rita."

She could be part bulldog.
She could be part potbellied pig.
She could be part small dinosaur.
She could be part land whale.

She snores.
She farts.
She snorts.
She smiles like she's selling real estate.
She thinks slow feeder bowls are stupid.
She has 1 brain cell in that big ol' noggin.
Hot dogs are life.

The "Rita" is undergoing some medical treatment and working through some emotional trauma.

As we can share more details, we will.

For now, eat your hearts out. 😍

Rita is looking for a foster. If you are interested, please apply at www.castawaycritters.org.

Welcome Tongs & Chopsticks! 🥢🍴

Someone dropped these cuties off at Hershire Animal Hospital and we were able to accept them into the program! 🍼

And yes, Tella is the sitter on duty. 🙄 Growling and barking at everyone and anything in their line of sight. 😂

Yuni Update:

We. Are. Going. Home!

We really needed this win.🥹

His kidney values are remarkable, considering how dehydrated he is.
No foreign bodies in the abdomial cavity that we can see at this time.
Fleas are finally dying off.
Antibiotics administered.
Getting rid of his worms.

He is sweet as can be, and a purr machine. He is so thankful.

Now we build his immunity and weight up slowly.

Yuni, you are such a special little guy.
Only up from here. 💛

Imagine not having a glass of water for 24 hours.

Imagine not having a glass of water for 48 hours.

Imagine not having a glass of water for 72 hours.

Imagine not eating for 24 hours.

Imagine not eating for 48 hours.

Imagine not eating for 72 hours.

Hungry & thirsty yet?

Now, imagine not having one morsel of food or a drop of water for 524 hours.

Impossible, right?

Well, Yuni here did it.
He went 524 hours with no potable water and sustenance because his "family" left him in an absolutely FILTHY & DISGUSTING apartment.

After maintenance came in for an inspection, his little face peered out through a pile of garbage. He ran towards them, DESPERATE for a lifeline. Thankfully, they knew exactly who to call.

He held on for 22 days with a fever, severe dehydration, being eaten alive by fleas, covered in scabs from the incessant scratching, starving, with not even a clean place to relieve himself.

Criminal?
Damn right.

It is time to do better and put consequences with actions. Enough is ENOUGH.

Now, we are at Shores Veterinary Emergency Center, preparing him medically for a future and justice.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, ABHORRENT BEHAVIOR AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
