🐾 UPDATE ON WHISP! ❤️

Whisp made it through surgery! 🥹❤️ His eye was successfully removed, and he was also neutered. He is estimated to be about 9 weeks old.

Unfortunately, we also received some difficult news about his remaining eye. There is a significant amount of scar tissue growing on it, and he is already approximately 80% blind in that eye. The damage is permanent, and there is a possibility that Whisp could eventually lose the remaining vision in that eye and become completely blind.

Our vet is prescribing a steroid ointment to try to help his remaining eye and hopefully preserve the vision he does have. ❤️‍🩹

But despite everything this tiny baby has been through… he is doing AMAZING. 🥹

Whisp is back at his foster home and acting like he didn’t just have major surgery! He’s eating, playing, and being his normal sweet self. He is such a happy, loving little kitten despite everything life has thrown at him. ❤️

Once Whisp is fully healed, he will need a very special forever home, one that understands he may eventually become completely blind and is willing to give him the love and patience he deserves.

And one thing is especially important: Whisp LOVES other cats! 🐱❤️ We would love to find him a home with another friendly cat who can help guide him and be his companion.

We also want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. We have received an overwhelming amount of love and support for Whisp, and we are so incredibly grateful for the army of supporters standing behind us. ❤️ Your donations, shares, messages, and encouragement mean more than you know.

Whisp’s medical journey isn’t over, and we currently have other medical bills and animals in our care who need help too. If anyone would like to continue donating toward Whisp’s ongoing care and our other medical expenses, we would be incredibly appreciative. Every dollar truly makes a difference. 🐾❤️

Thank you for helping us give Whisp the chance he deserved. We can’t wait to see what his future holds. 🥹❤️‍🩹

🚨 URGENT: WHISP NEEDS YOUR HELP 🐱💔

Meet Whisp, a tiny 3-month-old kitten who has already been through more than any baby should.

The first photo is Whisp the day he was found and surrendered at a veterinary office. The second photo is Whisp now, one month later. ❤️‍🩹

He was so small and fragile, with his eyes in terrible condition. We immediately took him in and started treatment with eye medications and antibiotics.

His eye has improved, but unfortunately it is still severely enlarged and his pupil remains extremely dilated. Our vet has determined that eye removal is now the safest option for him.

🏥 Whisp is scheduled for eye removal AND neutering this We desperately need your help to get Whisp through his surgery. ❤️

🐾 $5 helps.
🐾 $10 helps.
🐾 $25 helps.
🐾 Every share helps.

Our goal is $500 by Thursday. If you are able to donate anything at all, we would be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate, PLEASE SHARE! Getting Whisp’s story in front of the right person could make all the difference.

We promised this little boy that we wouldn’t give up on him. Now we need your help keeping that promise. 🥺❤️

One year ago, Eve’s world changed forever. 💔

After her owner unexpectedly passed away, Eve and her brother were surrendered to the shelter. Thanks to Eve’s microchip from our rescue, we were able to bring them back into our care. What we didn’t know at the time was just how much pain Eve had been silently living with.

She was suffering from severe stomatitis and was unable to eat comfortably. After months of veterinary care, love, and healing, Eve underwent a full-mouth dental extraction.

Today… she’s a completely different cat. 🤍

✨ Healthy
✨ Pain-free
✨ No medications
✨ Fully vetted
✨ Around 5 years old (still just a baby!)

The only special care Eve needs is an all-wet, soft food diet—and trust us, she doesn’t mind that one bit. 😻

Now all that’s missing is a family of her own.

Eve is a gentle, beautiful girl with striking blue eyes who deserves the peaceful life she was denied for so long. Her ideal home would be:
🤍 A quiet, calm environment
🤍 Someone patient who will let her settle in at her own pace
🤍 A home with calm cats or mellow dogs
🤍 No young children, as she’d truly thrive in a quieter household

After everything she’s endured, we know the perfect person is out there. Someone willing to give her the time, love, and understanding she deserves. Once Eve knows she’s safe, we have no doubt she’ll reward you with a lifetime of love.

📍Eve is being fostered in Nutley, NJ.

Please help us share Eve’s story. Her happy ending is still waiting… and we know it’s only a matter of time before the right person falls in love with those gorgeous blue eyes. 💙🏡

💕 SPRITE UPDATE 💕

We have some wonderful news to share… Sprite is doing really, really well! 🥹🐾

The past week has been a roller coaster. Sprite’s bloodwork was very concerning, and she was even leaking stool, leaving us and her veterinary team searching for answers. Thankfully, after receiving intensive veterinary care and lots of TLC, this little fighter has made an incredible turnaround.

We are so relieved to say that Sprite is on the mend and is expected to make a full recovery! ❤️

A huge, heartfelt thank you goes to her amazing foster mom, Emma, for never leaving her side and providing the love and care Sprite needed every step of the way. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better advocate for this tiny girl.

We also want to thank every single person who donated, shared our post, sent kind words, or kept Sprite in your thoughts. Because of your generosity, we were able to say “yes” to the emergency care she desperately needed. You made sure this little girl got the chance she deserved.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Sprite. We can’t wait to watch her continue to grow, get stronger, and enjoy being the happy, playful kitten she was always meant to be. 🧡🐱

🍄 Portobello. 🥓 Prosciutto.

No, we’re not sharing a fancy brunch menu, we’re introducing two adorable orange kittens looking for forever homes! 🧡

These handsome little boys are about 2 months old and packed with everything you could want in a kitten: playful, affectionate, curious, and endlessly entertaining. They spend their days zooming around, wrestling with toys, and reminding us why orange cats have such a legendary reputation.

The best part? You can take home Portobello OR Prosciutto (or both if you’re feeling extra hungry for kitten love 😉).

🚨 URGENT DONATIONS NEEDED FOR SPRITE 🚨

We need your help for little Sprite. 💔

Sprite is only about 5 weeks old. She was found outside with her sibling, and unfortunately her sibling was given away before we were contacted for help. Thankfully, we had an amazing foster step up immediately and take Sprite in, giving her a safe place to grow and thrive.

Last week, Sprite became lethargic and was taken to the vet. She seemed to be improving, and we were hopeful she was on the road to recovery. But today, everything changed.

Sprite suddenly began yelping in pain and became unable to walk. She was rushed to VEG emergency hospital, where doctors determined she needs extensive testing to figure out what is causing her condition. The estimate for her diagnostics and care is attached.

The heartbreaking reality is that we simply do not have the funds to cover these unexpected emergency expenses. Donations have been at an all-time low, and we are struggling to keep up with the medical needs of the animals already in our care.

Please, if you can spare even $5, it would make a difference. Every dollar gets us one step closer to answers for Sprite and the treatment she desperately needs.

If you’re unable to donate, please help by sharing this post. Sharing is free and could help us reach someone who can help save this sweet baby’s life.

Do it for Sprite. 🐾💕 She deserves a chance to grow up healthy, loved, and pain-free.

🚨 EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED BY TOMORROW 🚨

These two tiny kittens were found outside and urgently need placement by tomorrow. The finder can no longer keep them, and we are desperately looking for a experienced foster.

💔 The one kitten is very sick.

* Severe eye/nasal infection
* Not eating or drinking on their own
* Will require someone experienced with sick kittens, syringe feeding, medication administration, and close monitoring
* Immediate help is needed

🐾 The second kitten appears brighter and healthier, but should remain with their sibling if possible.

📍 Location: Fanwood, NJ

⏰ TIME IS CRITICAL. These babies need a safe place to go by tomorrow. The sick kitten especially cannot remain without experienced care and support.

Please share widely. If you can foster, know someone who can, or are affiliated with a rescue that may be able to help, please reach out immediately.
