❤ $7 Sunday for Quesito, an 8-week-old kitten currently hospitalized ❤

Spay and neuter isn’t just about preventing unwanted litters. It’s about preventing suffering, illness, and death.
Behind outdoor cat overpopulation are sick cats and kittens fighting for their lives because they didn’t get help soon enough. Quesito is one of them.

He came to us last night from a Providence location where we’ve worked for years. We’ve rescued over 100 cats from this location, but so many still need help. A good Samaritan we work regularly with (shout out Jolanta!) realized Quesito was seriously ill and contacted our Community Cat Coordinator, Heather, who helped get him to Ocean State Veterinary Specialists.

Quesito was admitted with a 50/50 chance of survival.

Overnight, he was stable, resting comfortably, and eating well. His temperature has fluctuated, and we’re awaiting an update on next steps. We’re rooting so hard for this little guy!

His hospitalization alone is estimated to cost $1,500. And yes, he’s worth every penny.

But Quesito is one of many. Without spay and neuter, more kittens are born outdoors, more become dangerously ill, and more cats suffer. We want to help these cats before they’re fighting for their lives, not just when it’s almost too late.

This $7 Sunday, chip in $7 (or more!) to help cover Quesito’s emergency care and continue getting cats and kittens from this location the help they desperately need. Your donation helps us fight for the cats already in crisis and work toward a future where fewer cats have to suffer outdoors.

Donate:

🐾 On our website: https://tenlivescatrescue.org/donate/
🐾 Venmo: (Ours is the only BUSINESS account. Please double-check!)

Can’t give today? Sharing this post helps, too! We’re rooting for you, Quesito. We’re not giving up on the others still out there.

They’re waiting to come inside. We need your help! Fosters needed.

Behind every photo is a cat who deserves the chance to feel safe, warm, and cared for. Some are still outside, with no safe place to call their own. Others have been brought to safety but are waiting in temporary holding for a foster home to open up. We want to help them, but we can’t do it without you.

Could you be the reason one of these cats finally gets their chance?

Here’s what you need to know about fostering with Ten Lives Cat Rescue:
👉 You must live in Rhode Island.
👉 Resident pets must be spayed/neutered and up to date on routine veterinary care and vaccinations.
👉 You’ll need a separate space to quarantine your foster cat from your resident pets.
👉 We cover the cost of foster supplies and all veterinary care. You provide the space, and we provide the supplies, medical care, and support you need along the way.
👉 No previous fostering experience is required!

Every open foster home means we can help another cat who needs us.

If you live in Rhode Island and have room in your home to help, apply to foster today. The next cat we bring to safety could be waiting for you.

Apply now: https://tenlivescatrescue.org/foster/

Not in a position to foster? Please share this post. You could help us find the person who can change a cat’s life.

Please note: Cats are matched with foster homes based on the best fit for each cat’s individual needs and the foster home’s experience, availability, and capabilities.

🐮 Meet Mr. MooMoo! 🐮

This adorable boy is outgoing, affectionate, and an all-around sweetheart.

If you have a hand available for head scratches, Mr. MooMoo would very much like to claim it. 😻

When he isn’t soaking up affection, Mr. MooMoo enjoys bird watching, playing with his toys, and the occasional bout of zoomies. He’s got that perfect mix of playful young-cat energy and “let’s hang out together” sweetness.

Mr. MooMoo would love a home where he can be part of the action, get plenty of cuddles, and stay close to his favorite humans. If you’re looking for a friendly, fun, affectionate companion, this handsome little cow-cat might just be your guy. 🐄❤️

She loves her cat tree,
Pounces on spring toys with glee
And dreams of a home where she’ll fit in 🏡

Her sweetness is hard to pass by.
With some time, treats, and play
She gets braver each day—

🎉 669 DAYS LATER, AGGIE IS ADOPTED! 🎉

We could not be happier to finally say those words. Aggie has officially found her home, and this one feels extra special.

Aggie came to us in rough shape, with a terrible, chronic upper respiratory infection that we eventually connected to severe dental disease. After rounds and rounds of antibiotics that helped but never fully solved the problem, Aggie had a full-mouth extraction, which made an incredible difference in her health.

But even once she was feeling better, Aggie remained one of those cats who was easy to overlook. She wasn’t the star of the show. She was simply one of those cats who quietly waited while other cats came and went around her.

And now, after 669 days, her wait is over. ❤️

Aggie is going home to a feline sister, Cordelia, and two wonderful parents who understand her needs and are letting her settle in at her own pace.

And she’s already settling in indeed! Her adopter recently shared that Aggie has claimed a hiding spot behind a box, loves running around and watching the closest window when the humans aren’t looking, and is becoming more confident about coming out to eat with her door open. Cordelia was a little nervous about Aggie at first, but is already starting to spend time near her. Aggie hasn’t explored the rest of the house yet, but she’s getting braver every day. 🥹

These are the cats Ten Lives is here for. The cats who have been through a lot. The cats who may not always be the first ones chosen. The cats who need someone willing to give them a little more time and understanding.

If you’re willing to give a cat like Aggie a chance, please reach out. We have many more waiting in the wings who are just like her, still waiting for their turn. 💛

But today, we’re celebrating Aggie. 669 days of waiting, and she finally has her people. We are SO incredibly happy for you, Aggie! 🥹❤️

We’re halfway to our $3,000 goal, but we still need your help to get there!

Our $5 Friday raised about $1,500, which means we have another $1,500 to go. If you didn’t get a chance to donate on Friday, there’s still time! Even $5 gets us a little closer. 🐾

And to everyone who already donated, shared, or helped spread the word: thank you. We’re so grateful for you and for everyone who continues to show up for these cats.
