Hi everyone, it’s us—the crew of rescue cats currently safe, loved, and waiting for our next chapter!

To be completely honest with you all, things have been a little tough behind the scenes lately. Between a few recent medical emergencies for some of our friends who needed extra care, our rescue funds have gotten pretty depleted. On top of that, donations have slowed down quite a bit over the past few weeks.
We know there is so much going on in the world right now, and everyone has a lot on their plates. But right now, we can’t take in or help more animals in urgent need until we can rebuild our safety net.
Every single dollar truly makes a difference. Whether it’s enough to help cover a bag of food, a round of medicine, or put toward our next vet bill, your support means we can keep our doors open for the next cat who needs us just as much as we did.

Thank you for always standing by us, believing in our second chances, and making sure we are never forgotten. We promise to keep purring and waiting patiently for our families!
With so much gratitude and tail wags/purrs,

All of the Rescued Cats & the Team 🐾❤️

Hey everyone, it’s Buddy here... 🐾
I wish I had better news to share with you all today, but my heart feels pretty heavy. I've been trying so hard to get better, but my latest bloodwork and urinalysis results are still not normal. Because my little body is still fighting so hard, the doctor says I have to keep going back for bloodwork and urinalysis every single month.
As a rescue kitty, I never wanted to be a burden, but staying alive and fighting this takes so much. Between my recent check-ups, specialized tests, and medications, my medical care has added up to $1,348.50 across just my last 7 invoices. And on top of these new bills, we are still struggling to cover the remaining balance of over $2,000 from our original $2,600 fundraiser.
It gets so scary wondering if we'll be able to afford the care I need to keep going. But knowing I have my rescue family looking out for me gives me a little glimmer of hope. If you can help me stay in this fight—whether by sharing my story or chipping in toward my mounting medical bills—I would be forever grateful. Thank you for not giving up on me... 💙🐱

Xoxoxoxo, Buddy

Hey everyone, it’s Nala!

I wanted to let you all know that my seventeen-year-old body finally started shutting down, but it happened gently and peacefully, surrounded by the kind of love every rescue pet dreams of. Even though I didn’t quite make it to my permanent adoptive home before it was time to go, please don't be sad for me. I spent my final chapter with my foster meowmmy, Laura, who took such incredible care of me and made sure I felt deeply cherished every single second.

I want to give the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to Laura, and to all of our amazing fosters who open their hearts and homes to us. You are our absolute heroes, holding our paws when our forever families haven't found us yet.

From up here on the sunny side of the bridge, I'm looking down at all my friends still waiting here at United Paws Rescue—especially our travelers who made the long journey up from Central Florida and all across the country looking for a fresh start. They are waiting for their turn to find their forever humans just like I was.
If you want to honor my memory, please don't let it stop with me. Open your home to foster, support rescue pets, and give a home to someone who is still waiting.

Rest easy, everyone. I'll be keeping watch from up here. 🐾✨

Hi Everyone!

Does anyone have any contacts in San Antonio?

I was contacted about a Super Sweet Kit Kat needing help.

shhh... Biggie's in the quiet zone! 📚🐾

I might have a bit of a resting stern face, but don't let that fool you—I take my job as Head Librarian at Biggie’s Books very seriously. I've spent plenty of time thumbing through the stacks here at , and let me tell you, I've read some incredible stories.
My absolute favorite genre? The kind where a lonely protagonist finds their forever family. You know, like The Velveteen Rabbit, where a sweet soul is loved so fiercely they finally become "real," or The Runaway Bunny where someone is searched for, cherished, and brought safely home no matter what.
I’m ready to turn the page and start a brand-new chapter with a family of my own. I promise to be a quiet companion for your reading nooks, an expert lap-warmer, and the best plot twist of your life.

XOXO Biggie

🐾 Biggie’s Story: The Gentleman Waiting in the Shadows

Hi friends... it’s me again, Biggie.
I see them all come and go. Every weekend, cages get emptied, carriers click shut, and happy meows echo down the hallway as another cat finds their forever family. I watch from my spot, giving them a polite little nod and wishing them well. But then the room goes quiet again, and I’m still here.
People look at my face and my big old tomcat cheeks and sometimes they walk right past. They don’t know that beneath this rugged exterior beats the heart of an absolute romantic. I don't ask for much—just a soft bed, some gentle head scratches (which make my tail point straight up in the air, as you can see!), and a human to call my own.
Our rescue friends even brought in a professional photographer to try and show everyone how handsome I am. They dressed up the room, brought out the good treats, and told me to look my best. Did it work? Did my prince or princess see me yet?
It hurts a little bit to feel invisible, especially when you have so much love left to give. I might not be a tiny kitten anymore, and I might have a face that tells a story, but I promise you won't find a more loyal, loving gentleman in all of Central Florida.
Could you please share my story? Or better yet... could you finally be the one who chooses Me?

Love, Biggie

Hi everyone, it's Tiffy again! 👑🐾

I am still waiting for my royal decree to be answered, so my humans and I decided to try something a little bit fancy. They let me experiment with some AI photo generators to see if giving myself a regal digital makeover might finally help catch my future subject—er, adopter's—eye!
Not gonna lie, some of these AI portraits make me look like a majestic feline queen ruling over a grand estate. While I'm normally a humble, sweet-natured lady who is just looking for a cozy lap, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do when she's trying to find her proper castle!

Let’s review my royal qualifications:
* Current Status: Officially ready to move into my forever palace and completely recovered from my past struggles.
* Royal Demeanor: A total sweetheart who loves making biscuits, soaking up endless affection, and purring up a storm.
* The Royal Decree: I strictly prefer to be the only princess in my realm, meaning I'm looking for a kingdom where I don't have to share your undivided attention with any other pets.
Check out my fancy new AI portraits attached, and if you think I'm the missing crown jewel in your life, send in an application so I can ditch the digital styling and come rule your heart in person! ❤️

🚨 BUDDY'S BIG BILL & A PLEA FOR HELP 🚨

Hi everyone, it's me, Buddy. You might remember me from just a few days ago when I finally left the shelter behind. I’m such a good boy, and I was so excited for my fresh start, but getting to safety has been a rocky road health-wise.
Shortly after I was rescued, my tummy started causing me massive, painful issues, and I had to be rushed to the Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Central Florida. Let me tell you, that place is amazing, but the life-saving care I needed isn't cheap. That first emergency stay alone cost $2,397.00.
Since then, I've had to go to two more hospitals just to get the medications and follow-up exams I need to stay on the road to recovery. That included a prescription from Pharmacy on the Park for $175.00 and an extended exam with more diagnostics at Polo Park Animal Hospital for $255.00.
That brings the total for my emergency care and follow-ups to $2,827.00. 🐾 Once I am feeling better I also have to go to the Kit Kat Dentist! I have 4 fractured canine teeth and grade 3 dental disease . But I know before I know it my teeth with be pearly white!
My new rescue family stepped up without hesitation because they believe I'm worth it, but that's a huge bill for a small rescue like ours. It really cuts into the funds needed to save other kitties who are still waiting for their miracle.
I know times are tough, but if you have even a few dollars to spare to help chip away at my veterinary bills, it would mean the world to me and the rest of the United Paws crew. Every little bit helps get us back on track to save more lives.

Here is how you can help:

🙏 Share: Please share my story so others can learn about my journey!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me. I'm fighting hard to be the healthy boy I was always meant to be. 🧡

Love,
Buddy

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Buddy is Home and Fighting FIP! 🐾❤️

"Hi everyone, it's Buddy again! I wanted to let you all know that after my scary ER visit and getting admitted to the hospital, I received the absolute best care from the doctors.
We found out I am fighting FIP, but my amazing rescue family didn't hesitate. I've already started my 12-week FIP medication protocol, and I am officially back home and recuperating safely with my foster Meowmy!
My life-saving initial hospital stay came out to around $2600, and while I'm resting up and getting stronger every day, my rescue family needs a little help covering these big medical expenses so they can keep saving others like me.
I fought so hard to leave the shelter and find a real home, and thanks to you, I'm getting my second chance. If you can chip in anything at all toward my care—or share my story—you are helping me win this battle. Thank you for loving me!"

Sweet Buddy Needs Us Now! 🚨🐾

Hi everyone, it’s me... well, my new friends at the rescue are calling me Buddy now instead of Paul, because they say I deserve a cozy, brand-new start. But I’m the same sweet, shy 5-year-old boy who was waiting for a month at the shelter, hoping someone would finally look past my rough edges and the scars from my severe scabies.
I thought I had finally made it out. But right after arriving at my wonderful foster home, things took a really scary turn. My foster mom noticed my tummy was feeling very hard and swollen, and it seemed to get even more distended just after I ate a tiny bit of wet food. Knowing something was terribly wrong, they rushed me straight to the ER late last night, and I’ve officially been admitted to the hospital for close monitoring and care.
We are still waiting on results and official estimates from the doctors as we learn more about what's going on, but I know I am fighting as hard as I can. The amazing people who pulled me from Central Florida didn't hesitate to get me the emergency help I needed, but hospital stays and diagnostics add up so fast, and our rescue fund is stretched thin.
I didn't survive a month of being overlooked just to give up now. Please, if you can help contribute toward my care, know that every dollar helps Buddy and others like him in the rescue. Even just sharing my story gives me a fighting chance to heal. Please help me get through this."
