Our tournament is Oct 24th at TJs. If you would like to make something or SEVERAL of your favorite somethings please comment below, reach out to Courtney or Ashley and let us know! Or just drop something by that morning!

As always thank you for your continued support for our little project!

There is no such thing as a free cat. They should be vetted and fixed. At all times :)

The adoption fee is one of the best deals around, and most people only find that out from the vet bills they never got. 🧡

A typical shelter cat arrives already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested and treated for fleas and worms. Bought separately at a private vet, that list often comes to several hundred dollars, against a fee that usually sits between fifty and a hundred and fifty. What is left over helps the next cat through the same door.

He came with the paperwork done. 💛

Send this to the friend who is thinking about a kitten. 🐾

The reality is, breeding is a problem. Please adopt don’t shop.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a VERY busy day!! We will be at Norris Park with our booth and the weather is looking like we can bring kittens!! Also we are joining in the parade with Renegade Removal, you won’t want to miss what has in store for a float! Then I’m personally headed to the b**r garden after Norris Park, to serve everyone food from Lucy's Bakery & Cafe. The staff has been working hard this week!! So while you’re out and about enjoying Heritage Days this weekend, stop by and say hi, we’d love to see you!!

Hey guys. Just wanted to clear a few things up about who we are and HOW we run.

First things first, we are run strictly on a volunteer basis. Courtney and I both hold jobs that many of you see us at on a daily or weekly basis. We are frequently doing things behind the scenes to keep this going and it takes a LOT of out time. We also have families and our children also take up a lot of our time. Our helpers are also not compensated and do what they do out of the goodness of their hearts. We are so lucky to have them and we will not tolerate any disrespect towards what they are able and willing to give. SO. With that said please know that when you reach out that we may be busy and we will get back to you in a timeframe that works for us. We literally receive many many messages a day and our resources are finite.

Second, the matter of what it is that we do. While we would LOVE to help rescue EVERY single animal that comes across our paths here is the realistic view. Many can not be saved and we are NOT currently a rescue. That comes with a lot more work, rules etc that we can not address or follow at this time. We have animals of our own and can only take so many into our care especially when it risks our homes and fur babies as well. One of our major goals this year is to work on a proper way to quarantine cats on arrival. Right now we are a TNR, we trap, fix and RETURN. There are several reasons we can not straight up remove cats from properties the number one reason being it does not work except in very specific instances. So please know that when you reach out about rehoming or surrendering a cat that we are not quite built for that at the moment. We are happy to make a courtesy post and help with our reach and other networks but sometimes that is ALL we can do.

Please know that we are trying our very best to grow and help our community as fast as we can with what resources we have at the moment. This is not a business this is a SERVICE provided to the community.
