Last week, I was contacted by one of our local councilwomen regarding a family who had found a cat outside, brought him into their home to help him, and then reached out to her because they realized he needed medical attention. He was straining to urinate and had blood in his urine, so there was concern that he could possibly have a urinary blockage. Councilwoman Terri Briggs-Jones connected me directly with the family, and I was able to get the kitty into one of my vets to be seen.

At the time of his examination, it did not appear that he was blocked. The doctor felt he was dealing with cystitis/bladder inflammation and a suspected urinary infection, so he was treated with Convenia, buprenorphine and Cerenia and started on a specialized urinary diet. The doctor did make it clear that if the medication did not help, or if Mitha continued straining, stopped urinating or his symptoms returned, he needed to come back immediately, as a urinary blockage would still be a concern and further treatment would need to be discussed.

So far, so good!! Mitha is urinating normally and seems to be doing really well. He’ll be going back for a follow up, and once the doctor feels comfortable that everything has cleared up, we’ll move forward with getting him neutered and vaccinated.

Even better news, the family has decided to keep Mitha. They’ve definitely taken a liking to him, and I’m glad everything seems to be working out.

As I mentioned last week, the family covered Mitha’s initial vet visit themselves. The donations received for him will now go toward getting him neutered and vaccinated, and I’ve let the family know that I’ll continue to help however I can.

Thank you so much to Councilwoman Terri Briggs-Jones for connecting me with the family to help Mitha, and thank you to everyone who donated.

I’m really glad things are looking good for Mitha so far, and even happier that the family has decided to keep him. Now we’ll get through his follow up, make sure he’s medically cleared, and then get his neuter and vaccines taken care of. ❤️🐾

Happy Thursday. A little reminder for everyone in rescue..what you do matters❤️.

There are so many different ways to make a difference in rescue. Some foster, some do TNR, some transport, some care for colonies, some donate, and some help by networking and connecting animals with resources. Every one of these things plays a part in making life better for animals.

No matter what your role looks like or how small your part may seem, you’re still doing something that makes a difference. Every contribution counts, and every effort has value❤️

There are so many different pieces that go into helping animals, and each one plays an important part. I appreciate and celebrate what each person brings and the value that every contribution adds. Thank you for what you do. ❤️

If you’re doing something to make an animal’s life better, you matter. What you do matters. Every effort counts, every role has value, and together it all makes a difference. ❤️

And because every post is better with a cat picture… 😂 for those who remember Teddy, one of the kitties from a new colony I recently took over, well, Teddy isn’t a boy after all. Teddy is a girl, so a name change was definitely in order. Everyone, meet Taco Bella. 🌮🐾❤️

Sometimes TNR doesn’t go exactly as planned, especially the return part.

A new cat recently showed up at one of my colonies. I didn’t know anything about him, and because he kept his distance and didn’t appear social, I assumed he was feral. As I do with any newcomer to my colonies, the goal was to get him trapped, neutered, and returned.

Well… Mango had other plans. 😂

During his assessment after being trapped, it became clear that this guy was actually friendly. Whenever that happens, I always try to find a safe indoor placement so the cat has the opportunity to stay indoors rather than being returned outside.
And thankfully, Mango got that opportunity.

This is Mango now, sitting comfortably on his foster’s lap like that was the plan all along. 😂❤️ Sometimes they make the decision for us, and Mango made it pretty clear that he was not interested in the “return” part of TNR.

I absolutely love this for him. 🐾

Update on Julian, the cat who was attacked by another animal last week and suffered two severe bite wounds.

I am truly in awe of this boy. Julian showed up at a new colony I recently took on, the same colony I’ve spoken about where the cats were being fed raw chicken scraps from a nearby business. We don’t know anything about his life before he appeared there, but when he showed up, he was in really bad shape.

My friend/volunteer discovered Julian and quickly realized that he was seriously injured. He had been viciously attacked by something and had two extremely deep bite wounds on different parts of his body. The wounds were badly infected and oozing pus, and he was not doing well.

As many of you know, Julian was rushed to the hospital last week, where he underwent surgery. He had sutures and drains placed, and yesterday he went back to have his drain removed. He’ll return in about two weeks to have his sutures removed.

I’m so happy to say that Julian is doing absolutely amazing. ❤️ So far, so good. After everything this boy has been through, it’s incredible to see how well he’s doing.

I also want to take a moment to thank my amazing friends Grayson, Yustina, Deana, and Nathalie for everything you’ve done to help Julian, from making sure I was aware of him and getting him where he needed to go, to helping care for, comfort, and give him a safe place to recover. It truly took a team, and I’m incredibly grateful to each of you. ❤️

I wanted to give everyone who has been following Julian an update on our boy. He’s doing absolutely amazing, and I’m so happy with his progress. 🐾❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday! Between the calls, texts, messages and Facebook wishes, I truly appreciate all the birthday love. 💕

And a special thank you to everyone who donated to my birthday fundraiser for the colony cats. I chose to dedicate my birthday fundraiser to raising money for their food, and I’m so grateful to everyone who contributed and supported it. Every donation means so much and will go toward helping us continue feeding the colony cats we care for every single day. 🐾

I’ll be keeping my birthday fundraiser open for anyone who would still like to contribute toward food for the colony cats. Every bit of support helps us keep their bellies full and makes a difference. Link below

Thank you all for making my birthday a little extra special. ❤️

🐾 Queen City Kitties Food Drive at the South Plainfield Public Library! 🐾

This month, the South Plainfield Public Library is hosting a food drive to support Queen City Kitties Rescue! ❤️ If you’re in the South Plainfield area and would like to help, please stop by the library and drop off a food donation in the Queen City Kitties donation bin.

We currently feed 11 outdoor cat colonies every single day, providing food for dozens of cats who depend on us. Keeping all of those bellies full takes a tremendous amount of food, and every donation helps us continue caring for them. Whether it’s a few cans of wet food or a bag of dry food, it all adds up and makes a difference.

Please consider stopping by, donating, and helping us keep those bellies full and those kitties happy! 🐾❤️ A huge thank you to the South Plainfield Public Library for supporting Queen City Kitties and the cats we care for!

Since I shared an update on Dahlia, I couldn’t leave out her beautiful mama❤️. Many of you may remember Sweet Pea. She was put outside by her owner in the middle of winter. I was told by the owner’s boyfriend that one day she simply opened the door and put her outside because she no longer wanted her.

When I found Sweet Pea, she was out in the freezing cold, just trying to survive. One thing that’s always been important to me is making sure the moms have a safe place to go too. They deserve the same chance as their kittens.

My amazing friend Margaret welcomed Sweet Pea into her home and gave her the love, care, and safety she deserved. Before long, Sweet Pea found the perfect home with one of Margaret’s dear friends.

Today, Sweet Pea has a new name, Misty, and she’s absolutely thriving. Margaret recently shared Misty’s Instagram with me, and it was so amazing to see how well she’s doing. Seeing her happy, loved, and completely settled into her new life is exactly the kind of update we all hope for.

A special thank you to my dear friends, Margaret and Will, for always opening your hearts and home to cats in need. Thank you for giving Sweet Pea the chance she deserved and helping her find the perfect forever home.

Happy life, sweet Misty. ❤️
Check out her IG below ⬇️it’s too cute🥰❤️

The photos below are of Tank and Bobby, two cats who came from completely different situations but somehow ended up exactly where they were meant to be.

Some of you may remember Tank. I was driving down the street when I noticed a pet carrier sitting on the side of a busy road. It looked so out of place that I pulled over to check it out. Inside was Tank. Someone had abandoned him in that carrier and left him there.

Thankfully, that day I rescued Tank from the side of the road, and he was later placed into an amazing foster home. Before long, his foster fell in love with him and officially adopted him.

Then there was Bobby. He showed up on my porch one day looking a little confused and unsure. He was skittish at first, but I had a feeling he just needed someone to give him a chance. That same foster who welcomed Tank into her home also agreed to foster Bobby.

Before long, it became clear that Tank and Bobby were the perfect match. They bonded, became the best of friends, and she decided to make it official by adopting Bobby too.

The other day, she sent me these photos, and they were just too good not to share.

Tank and Bobby have become the best of friends. They sleep together, play together, eat together, and are pretty much inseparable.

From a cat abandoned in a carrier on the side of a busy road and a cat who showed up on my porch looking for help, to two best friends living their best lives together, this is what rescue is all about.

Thank you Kelly for opening your home to these two boys and giving them the happy ending they both deserved. ❤️
