A little Chloe + babies update 🐾🤍

Overall, Chloe and her five babies are doing okay! We did have a little bit of a scare recently when a few of the kittens suddenly began limping on their front paws, and Stache — our little possible CH baby — developed an obvious mouth ulcer.

Because those symptoms can be consistent with calicivirus, we’re treating everyone preventatively and providing supportive care to be safe. Thankfully, everyone is still eating, acting like themselves and fever-free. Even better, the kittens who were limping are no longer doing so! 🤞🏻

Mama Chloe also had a few days of an upset stomach, but she’s doing much better now. We’re hoping that was simply a side effect from the antibiotics we started.

The babies are still nursing from mom, but they’re officially starting to eat more on their own! 🎉 And because these kittens apparently have expensive taste, their current favorite is Tiki Cat Kitten Mousse. 😂 Of course it is.

We’ve attached a wishlist for Chloe and her crew with some of the food and supplies their foster mama is going through while caring for this little family. If anyone is able to send them something, even one item makes a difference and helps us keep these bellies full while they grow. 🥹❤️

Thank you for continuing to root for Chloe, Stache and the rest of this little crew. Hopefully our next update is nothing but growing babies, full bellies and kitten chaos. 🐱💕

Scoots and her sister still seem pretty convinced I’m only good for room service. 🍗😂

Their brother, though? He’s coming around surprisingly fast. We’ll take every tiny win we can get. Until then, I’ll keep showing up with snacks and patience… and they’ll keep being ridiculously cute. 🐾❤️

Scoots is also using both of her back legs, but she didn’t want me to tell you that….

Scoots Update 🩶

Yesterday Scoots had a sedated exam, X-rays, and was evaluated by our urgent care vets. The good news is that there were no obvious fractures or breaks seen on her X-rays.

While that’s encouraging, it also means we still don’t have a definitive answer as to why she’s having trouble using her back legs 😩

After consulting with a neurologist, the plan is to treat her conservatively for the next week with pain medication, anti-inflammatory medication, antibiotics, and medication for nerve pain. Our hope is that if her injury is due to inflammation, bruising, or soft tissue trauma, she’ll begin showing improvement as she heals.

We’re already celebrating the little victories. Scoots is eating well, she’s been standing, taking a few steps toward her food, and tonight we even saw her stretch one of her back legs and spread her tiny toe beans. They may seem like small moments, but they’re the milestones we’re holding onto🎉🤞🏻

If she doesn’t improve over the next week, the next recommendation may be an MRI to look for injuries that don’t show up on X-rays, such as damage to the spinal cord, nerves, or soft tissues. Unfortunately, an MRI and any additional specialty care can be very expensive😅

We want to thank everyone who has donated, shared her story, and sent kind words. Because of your support, Scoots has been given the chance to heal instead of suffering outside.

Please continue to keep this sweet girl in your thoughts as we take this one day—and one tiny step—at a time. 🩶

Scoots Update 🐾❤️

Less than 72 hours ago, Scoots was just the injured kitten we couldn’t stop thinking about.

Today, Scoots ate in front of me… and even took a Churu from my hand. It might seem like a small thing, but for a terrified kitten who has every reason not to trust people, it feels like a huge victory. We’re taking everything one tiny step at a time so they don’t become frightened and risk hurting themselves any more than they already are.

Tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, Scoots will head to our urgent care vet for a sedated exam and X-rays. Hopefully we’ll finally get some answers about what’s going on with those back legs and what the road ahead looks like.

When I moved Scoots from the trap into a crate, I was able to briefly check them over. I found one healing wound on a foot that thankfully doesn’t look too concerning, but I didn’t want to push my luck. Scoots was scared, likely in pain, and I wanted that interaction to end on as positive a note as possible. Today they’re resting comfortably after pain medication, and we’re just letting them breathe.

And because we apparently can’t help ourselves…
The siblings will be moving in for a bit too. The plan was always TNR but after seeing how tiny they are and knowing they already went through surgery and vaccinations, I just couldn’t bring myself to put them back outside without trying to find them something better. Maybe that makes rescue harder on us, but it also feels like the right thing to do. If another rescue has room after this week and would like to help them, we’d be so grateful. We will work with them as much as we can to get them moving in the right direction hopefully 🤞🏻

Tomorrow’s visit is expected to cost at least $500 for the sedated exam and X-rays, and we truly don’t know what comes after that. If you’re able to donate, we’d appreciate it more than we can put into words. Every dollar helps us make whatever decision comes next based on what’s best for Scoots—not on what we can afford.

We’re hoping tomorrow brings answers… and maybe a little bit of hope for this tiny fighter. 💛

We went to Cherry Hill with one goal: save an injured kitten.

Today, we accomplished that. ❤️

But as we worked to trap the injured kitten, we also trapped two siblings and dad. And then we were faced with a question…

Who would we be if we left mom behind?

We have always said : never leave mom behind, always go back from mom. We couldn’t preach that and then walk away from this family.

The truth is, we never budgeted for this.

We stepped outside of our current TNR projects because we couldn’t leave an injured kitten to suffer, even though we didn’t have the funds for that either. Now we’ve found ourselves responsible for an entire family that deserves the same chance.

This isn’t in Maple Shade. It’s in Cherry Hill. We even tried reaching out to the local community for help, but unfortunately our fundraiser post wasn’t approved. So we’re turning to the people who have always believed in what we do.

We can’t, in good conscience, release this family without getting them spayed and neutered. If we did, we’d be right back where we started a few months from now with even more kittens born outside.

Now we need your help.

If you’ve ever wondered why we do what we do, this is it. Rescue isn’t always convenient. Sometimes one injured kitten turns into an entire family that needs someone to care enough to change their future.

If you’re able to donate—even $5—it truly helps. If you can’t donate, sharing this post may help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for always standing beside us, even when rescue takes us somewhere we never expected to go.

🚨 It’s $5 Friday! 🚨

What can $5 do?

☕ Skip one coffee…
🥤 Skip one fancy drink…
🍟 Skip one fast food stop…

…and instead help a cat who has no one else.

Just $5 from a handful of amazing people can help us buy:
🐾 Kitten food
🐾 Wet & Dry food
🐾 Litter
🐾 Dewormer
🐾 Vacines
🐾 Cleaning supplies
🐾 Microchips

People often think, “It’s only $5—it won’t make a difference.”

But that’s exactly how rescue keeps going. One person gives $5. Another gives $10. Someone else shares the post. Before we know it, we’ve covered another vet bill or stocked up on supplies for the week.

If you can spare the cost of a coffee today, we’d be so grateful. ❤️

If donating isn’t possible today, sharing this post helps just as much. Every share gives our cats a chance to reach someone who can help.

Thank you for believing that every little bit adds up—for us, and for them. 🐈🐾

Adorable & Adoptable Cardi says thank you!!!

Today was heavy.

I spent hours trying to catch an injured kitten who appears to have a broken pelvis, broken back legs, or some form of paralysis. Despite the injury, this little one was quick, and I wasn’t able to catch them. I went back with a drop trap, but by then they had disappeared.

I made a public post hoping someone had seen the kitten. Instead, my inbox filled with messages about all the other cats being fed in that neighborhood.

The hardest part wasn’t hearing about more cats—it was hearing, over and over again, “I can’t help.”

And I get it. Not everyone can rescue. Not everyone can foster or donate.

But every one of us can choose not to look away.

We can report injured animals sooner. We can help monitor a trap. We can offer transportation. We can support TNR before colonies grow out of control. We can speak up instead of assuming someone else will.

Because that’s the reality…

Rescue isn’t supposed to belong only to rescues.

Communities save animals.

Rescues are simply the people who decided they couldn’t keep saying, “Someone else will handle it.”

This kitten has likely been suffering for days. The colony they came from has likely been left to reproduce for years. None of that happened overnight.

We didn’t catch this kitten today.

But we’ll be back.

We don’t have the space. We don’t have the funds. We definitely don’t have the time.

But we also don’t have it in us to walk away from an animal that’s suffering.

If there’s one thing I hope people take away from today, it’s this:

Please stop waiting for rescues to be the only ones who care.

If every person did just one small thing to help, there would be far fewer animals waiting for someone to save them.

Sometimes in rescue, you have to take a leap of faith.

When one of our fosters said “yes” to this little family, we knew it was our turn to say yes too.

We didn’t have all the funds raised yet. We still don’t. But we’ve learned that when our community believes in what we’re doing, amazing things happen.

So Chloe and her five babies are officially safe. ❤️

The kittens are settling into foster care and, thankfully, everyone is doing well. They’re all a little underweight, which is exactly what we’d expect after spending their early weeks outdoors without them and their mom receiving consistent nutrition. The good news is they’ve all started eating on their own, have a soft place to land, full bellies, and every opportunity to simply be kittens.

And then there’s Chloe.

We’ve named this sweet mama Chloe, and we think she’s only about a year old herself. Despite being just a kitten in so many ways, she’s done an incredible job raising five babies. Watching her care for them has been so special, but we’re also excited that she’ll finally get a chance to rest while her little ones continue to grow stronger each day. She’s under weight by a few lbs which can easily happen because caring for 5 babies is tough on her body.

For now, our goal is simple: food, weight gain, and lots of love. If everyone keeps progressing like they are now, they’ll receive their first vaccines next week.

When we first shared their story, we hoped to raise enough to responsibly bring them into rescue. Because of you, we felt confident enough to make that commitment.

Now we’re almost there.

We’re only about $200 away from fully funding their care. That will help cover vaccines, deworming, testing, microchips, and eventually their spay and neuter surgeries.

Every donation. Every share. Every encouraging comment has helped get this family to safety.

Because of this community, Chloe’s story—and her babies’ story—is going to have a much different ending than it could have.
And we can’t wait to share that ending with you. ❤️🐾

We need your help. ❤️🐾

Our goal this year was to only intake kittens from our TNR locations here in town. But rescue doesn’t always go according to plan.

Earlier this year, during a snowstorm, we were asked to help a cat just one block outside of our town. We got her healthy, had her spayed, and found her an amazing home. But she wasn’t the only cat there.

When we commit to a colony, we do our best to make sure no one gets left behind unfixed.

Now, that same location has a mama cat and her five kittens who desperately need help.

A kind neighbor brought them inside after seeing mama struggling during the dangerous air quality days. Since then, we’ve been searching everywhere for placement. Every rescue and shelter we’ve contacted is overwhelmed, and we completely understand why. Kitten season has been incredibly difficult for everyone.

Thankfully, one of our amazing fosters has stepped up and offered to take them in. 💕

Before we say yes, we want to make sure we can responsibly provide everything they need. The finder has generously offered to sponsor mom’s care, but we still need help covering the kittens.

Our goal is to raise $500 to provide:
🐾 Vaccines
🐾 Deworming
🐾 Spay/neuter surgeries
🐾 Testing
🐾 Microchips

Every dollar brings these kittens one step closer to a healthy future.

We truly cannot do this without our community. If you’re able to donate, sponsor a kitten, or even share this post, it would mean the world to us.

Together, we can make sure this little family gets the chance they deserve. ❤️

Over the last few weeks, I’ve intentionally stepped back from social media to focus on my mental health. Sometimes the best way to continue helping others is to make sure you’re taking care of yourself first. Even though we haven’t been posting, we absolutely have not stopped working. We’ve continued trapping, transporting, recovering, and helping cats behind the scenes.

Lately we’ve been fortunate enough to receive several last-minute low-cost TNR appointments. Because those appointments come with very little notice, we’ve been using them for colonies where the cats are on a consistent feeding schedule. That gives us the highest chance of successfully trapping and ensures those appointments don’t go to waste.
We know we’ve bounced around our waiting list a bit, and we understand thats frustrating. But with limited appointments, we have to make decisions based on where we’re most likely to be successful. We can’t risk losing a last-minute surgery slot on cats that may not show up that day.

We also want to gently put things into perspective. If you have 4 cats that need to be fixed, that can feel overwhelming and we get that. But right now, we’re trying to help more than 40 cats across multiple colonies. Every decision we make is based on how we can help the greatest number of cats with the time, volunteers, and resources we have. Please remember that PPAR is run by just the two of us. We both work full-time jobs, we don’t get paid to do this, we are solely donation funded.

If you’re unable to assist with trapping at your colony, your request may have to wait until we’re able to do it ourselves. Many rescues actually require feeders to trap their own cats before the rescue steps in for transportation, surgery, recovery, and return. We understand that trapping isn’t easy, but we’re already doing as much as we realistically can.

Finally, a friendly reminder:
📧 Email is our only form of communication for TNR requests.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient, understanding, donated, volunteered, trapped with us, or simply cheered us on. Your support is the reason we’re able to keep doing this work, and we truly couldn’t do it without you. ❤️
