Please share! 🌹

Rose is a 2 month old, long-haired kitten who is ready to find her forever home! This little girl is the perfect combination of adventurous, spunky, playful, and absolutely adorable. She has a big personality packed into one tiny, fluffy body!

Rose is the kind of kitten who wants to know what's happening around her. She loves exploring, investigating new things, and getting into all the fun kitten adventures!

She has been spayed and fully vetted. All she needs now is the most important thing of all: a family who will love her for the rest of her life.

Rose would need to be adopted with one of her siblings or into a home that already has a friendly, playful cat. At this age, kittens thrive with companionship, and we want to make sure Rose has a kitty friend to play with, learn from, and snuggle with so she never feels lonely, plus life is always better with a friend!

Congratulations to Dez on his adoption day! 🥹 We love all of our cats and they are all very special in their own, way but Dez is a little extra special.

His previous owners opted for euthanasia when he developed a urinary blockage, most likely from stress due to changes in the home. Thankfully he was surrendered, to one of our Veterinary partners and the amazing Dr Thornton performed a urinary unblock procedure and saved his life. We then took him in to our rescue. He is the sweetest soul we are so happy his life was saved!

Today Dez was adopted by his wonderful foster family. ❤️ We could not be happier for him!

Edit- Poor guy was dehydrated and hes lost weight. They gave him a cerenia injection to help him feel better and sent bloodwork out. Thank you to everyone that donated and thank you Shelby for transporting him back to us!! ❤️

Ever been in a volleyball game where, no matter how hard you try to dodge the ball, every single ball somehow ends up hitting you? That’s exactly what this month has felt like for us and Gus.

Just when we think we can finally catch a break, something else happens.

Yesterday, Gus suddenly started having really bad diarrhea and vomiting—and not just once or twice. He was throwing up A LOT. We gave him anti-nausea medication and hoped it would settle his stomach, but it made no difference.

So here we are, sitting at Rivers Veterinary Urgent Care trying to figure out what is going on with our poor Gus. If you’re able to help us with the cost of his visit and any treatment he may need, please consider donating.

🐾 To donate straight to his bill, Rivers Vet Urgent Care is 412-998-9030. Gus is under the rescue.

Clover is an adorable two-month-old kitten who is ready to find his forever family! This little guy is everything you could hope for in a kitten—sweet, curious, confident, and incredibly easy to handle.

Clover loves exploring his surroundings and is always interested in what’s going on around him. He’s not a shy kitten and happily interacts with people.

Clover is healthy, fully vetted, and ready to start the next chapter of his life. All he needs now is a loving family who will give him the safe, happy home he deserves.

Courtesy post!

A local rescuer who does TNR on her own trapped and fixed this sweet boy who turned out to be very friendly! We agreed to post him and put him through our rescue. 🐈‍⬛

Meet your new best friend, Elmer Budd!

This guy has it all and he is quite a character! He loves to be where the people are, whether that's hanging out on the couch or helping to supervise a project you're working on. He enjoys having other friendly cats for companions and to play with.

He's also a champ at playing by himself, just give him any type of ball or track toy and he'll go to town. He also enjoys quite a time and lounging on the windowsill gazing at the birds out of the window.

Elmer's got a lot to say and he doesn't keep it to himself. He'll gladly carry on a conversation with you and may give you an earful for being away from home too long, after all he needs love and attention!

Elmer is approximately 4 years old, is neutered, and is up to date on vaccines.

Please complete application at the following link if interested in meeting Elmer:

Just a video of Pearl relaxing and enjoying life. 🥹 Somehow, we always manage to rescue the best cats in the whole world. How did we get so lucky?!

Patty was back at Rivers Veterinary Urgent Care again today. She had not eaten since Saturday and was hiding under the bed. Even though she cannot be handled, she is always out and about in her foster's apartment, so we knew something was wrong. 😞

She had X-rays, which this time showed pneumonia (in addition to her chronic asthma). She also has a bit of an enlarged heart. Poor girl can't get a break!

She was sent home with an antibiotic to address the pneumonia. We will continue to monitor her quality of life too. With asthma, generally the treatment is steroids, which is contraindicated in the presence of an enlarged heart.

For now we are hoping the antibiotic, doxycycline, will resolve the pneumonia and help a little bit with her lung inflammation. Please send positive thoughts and vibes for Patty. 🙏

We need your help.

We have a friendly kitten named Paris who has been looking for her forever home for TWO MONTHS… and she has gotten zero interest. Nada. Nothing. Meanwhile, we are finding homes for adult cats who have medical issues, special needs, and complicated histories while this happy, healthy, adorable kitten is still waiting.

So… why is Paris being overlooked?

We think its because she’s black.

I’m convinced we could post a one-eyed, three-legged, 15-year-old orange cat whose organs are failing and he’d get adopted before a black kitten. 🤦‍♀️

Black cats deserve just as much love, and Paris is a gem. She’s friendly, playful, healthy, fully vetted and ready to be someone’s best friend.

How can you help?

🐾 Share Paris’s post
🐾 Look through her Petfinder profile and tell us if there’s something we should change:

Please share to help our buddy Charlie find his forever home! 🏡

Charlie came to our rescue after being found outside as a stray. He is the kind of cat who has never met a stranger. Friendly, outgoing, and full of love, he'll happily make friends with anyone who walks through the door. If you're looking for a cat who enjoys attention, loves being petted, and wants to be part of your daily life, Charlie is your guy!

Charlie gets along well with other cats and would also do fine with a small, calm dog. He's about 7 years old and is FIV positive, which simply means he has a slightly weakened immune system. He also has chronic herpes, so you'll hear the occasional sneeze—but it doesn't stop him from being the affectionate, happy cat he is.

Charlie is neutered, up to date on vaccines and is microchipped.

If interested in meeting Charlie, please complete an adoption application:
