Ferals and Kittens and Cats Oh My HOW I GOT STARTED
It all started in 2016 when a friend of mine asked me to help trap a mom and three kittens at a restaurant supply warehouse.

It was then that I realized there were several feral cats living outside that needed help. Cat Adoption Interest https://forms.gle/78eDzoq7qf8sDDvo8

Meet Eden—a stunning short-haired tortoiseshell beauty with a heart as colorful as her coat! This sweet 1–2 year old girl radiates joy whether she's playing, eating, or soaking up all the love she can get.
Eden is a people-loving soul who seeks out affection at every opportunity. Her favorite place in the world is right by your side. This devoted girl dreams of a forever home where she can snuggle close on the couch and finally become part of a family to call her own.
Eden has tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV). While this may sound scary, many FeLV-positive cats live happy, comfortable lives for years with proper care and regular vet checkups. FeLV cannot be transmitted to humans or dogs—only to other cats. She's shown some preference for her own space, so a home where she can be the cherished center of attention—or paired with another FeLV+ kitty—would be perfect.
Despite her diagnosis, Eden is brimming with life, love, and playful energy! She has some mild congestion, but it never dampens her spirit—she plays and embraces each day with remarkable resilience.
Eden would thrive in a peaceful household without dogs, where she can share her love with a family that includes children aged 13 and older.
Eden comes spayed, parasite-treated, microchipped, and current on all age-appropriate vaccinations. For an approved adopter ready to give this special girl the loving home she deserves, the adoption fee is reduced.
Eden is waiting for someone who will see past a diagnosis and recognize the incredible, affectionate companion she truly is. Could that be you? If so please complete our online Cat Adoption Form here: https://forms.gle/2gKXbfi2p7ToNrqZ9

Meet Sophie – The Laundry Queen (PLEASE SHARE)

Sophie is a 1-year-old all-white beauty with a heart as soft as her fur and a serious passion for laundry. She’s the ultimate laundry room supervisor—ready to oversee every wash cycle, inspect freshly dried clothes, and make sure everything smells just right.

Sophie must be the ONLY cat in the home, and she’s made it clear that dogs and children under 12 are not part of her ideal staff.
Sophie is looking for a calm, quiet household where she can feel safe, loved, and properly admired for her supervisory skills.

She’s fully vetted , microchipped and ready to bring warmth, purrs, and a touch of feline charm to her forever home.

OLIVE’S Story
When Olive’s world fell apart, she didn’t understand why. One day she had a home and a person who loved her; the next, her owner was gone—evicted and unable to take her along. Alone and frightened, Olive stayed in the backyard of the only home she’d ever known. Beneath a patch of overgrown bushes, she gave birth to four tiny kittens.
Despite her pain, Olive did everything she could to care for them. But a deep abscess had formed on her stomach, right where her kittens needed to nurse. Every feeding brought her agony, yet she endured it, determined to keep them alive. The owner sent me a picture as shown here of her nursing with a wound and asked for help.
When I picked up Olive from the person getting evicted, her kittens were huddled close for warmth. She was rushed to the vet the next morning, where her wound was cleaned and treated. It was so severe that she could no longer nurse, so her kittens were sent to another rescue with a nursing mother. Thanks to that kindness, all four grew strong and were adopted into loving homes.
Olive’s recovery was slow and steady. Each week she returned to the vet for bandage changes, purring softly through it all as if she knew she was finally safe.
When she was fully healed, Olive was put up for adoption. One day, a kind woman met her and saw not just a cat with a scar, but a survivor with a heart full of love.
Today, Olive spends her days curled up on soft blankets, her past replaced by warmth, safety, and affection.
Olive’s story is one of quiet strength and second chances—a reminder that even after the hardest battles, healing and happiness are possible.
This ROC the Day, open your heart to those who cannot ask for help themselves.
Together, compassion can change lives. Together, every cat can be safe, fed, and loved.

Murphy’s Second Chance
When Murphy was first found at one of my cat colonies, he was almost unrecognizable as the majestic cat he would one day become. His fur was filthy and tangled into painful mats, his body frail from dehydration, and his eyes filled with fear. Every movement made him flinch, every human hand made him hiss. It was clear that life had not been kind to him.
We suspected he had suffered abuse. His aggression wasn’t born from malice—it was the language of survival. His mats were so severe we had no choice but to shave him. Beneath the tangled coat was a thin, trembling cat who had lost all trust in the world.
Because winter had settled in, releasing him back outside wasn’t an option. Murphy had no fur to protect him from the cold, so he was transferred to the care of foster mom Kristin. She saw something in his wary eyes—a spark of hope buried deep beneath the fear.
Day after day, Kristin sat quietly near him, speaking softly, offering food, and letting him decide when to come closer. Slowly, the walls around Murphy’s heart began to crumble. The hissing turned to cautious curiosity, and the swats became gentle nudges. For the first time in a long while, Murphy began to trust.
As his fur grew back, so did his spirit. The once-snarling cat transformed into a stunning long-haired beauty with a heart full of affection. He discovered the joy of chin scratches, the comfort of warm laps, and the companionship of other cats. Kristin often joked that he had become a “love bug in disguise,” a far cry from the frightened creature she had first met.
When the time came for adoption, everyone worried that Murphy’s past might make it hard for him to find a home. But fate had other plans. A kind couple met him and instantly fell in love. They saw not the scars of his past, but the gentle soul he had become.
Today, Murphy lives his dream life—lounging in sunny windows, chasing toys, and curling up beside his humans every night. His story is a testament to patience, compassion, and the healing power of love. From a broken, frightened stray to a cherished family member, Murphy’s journey reminds us that every cat deserves a second chance—and sometimes, all it takes is one person who refuses to give up.
Murphy’s story would not be possible without your support. Every donation, every can of food, every act of kindness helps transform lives just like his. Together, hope is restored—one cat at a time.
