EZRA & WILDER are fun loving, happy go lucky, bonded brothers who would be over the moon to find their FOREVER family soon.

They are the last of their litter and have watched their siblings all find homes, except them.

Tabby cats, like black cats, are some of the most over looked, and yet they are some of the most easy going and laid back cats.

Let's make this their lucky month!

Lots of newer fosters accidentally make this mistake. It's an easy fix!

Can You Crack the Kitten Case? This week we have another mystery, but this one doesn’t need a diagnosis.

Here’s the hypothetical:
A new foster is caring for two litters. She knows to house them in separate rooms to keep them healthy. Litter A is in the spare bedroom. Litter B is in the bathroom.

Our new foster is incredibly diligent. She washes her hands before and after she handles the kittens. She cleans the litter boxes every day. The rooms are tidy and the kittens are fed on schedule.

Litter A gets sick, and a few days later, Litter B does too. However, the two litters never met.

Our foster’s daily routine looks like this:
-She scoops both litter boxes with the same scoop
-She weighs both litters on the same kitchen scale
-She jots weights on one clipboard with one pen
-She wears the same cozy sweatshirt for every feeding
-She grabs the medication bottle off the shelf and flips the light switch on her way out of each room

Since our foster kept the kittens separate, how did the illness spread?
Here’s a little secret: there’s a word for the culprit and you may not have heard of it.

Share your theory in the comments. We’ll reveal the answer Monday.

FELIX who is the sweetest boy! It's hard to believe a year ago July a WOW volunteer picked him up with half of his side completely missing! Yep! It was missing and he was suffering. 😿

FELIX was in bad shape and spent over 2.5 months under direct veterinary care working on his recovery. It's taken time for the body to bounce back.

TODAY this handsome tuxedo is healthy, healed and on the look out for his FOREVER family who will keep him safe inside and very, very loved!

Who will win his kitty kisses?

🚨 YOU DIDN'T RESCUE THE CAT. YOU PICKED IT UP.

I'm getting tired of seeing, "I rescued this cat, but I can't keep it! Someone needs to come get it ASAP!"

And then everyone applauds.

"You're an angel!"
"Thank you for saving that baby!"

Hold on a damn minute.

You picked up a cat, immediately made it someone else's responsibility, and somehow walked away wearing the superhero cape.

Meanwhile, an already overwhelmed rescue is expected to find space, pay the vet bills, provide food, arrange transportation, and find that cat a home.

You got the applause. Someone else got the responsibility.

Let me be clear. Not everyone can keep a cat, and asking for help is absolutely okay.

But there's a difference between asking for help and dumping the entire responsibility on someone else while congratulating yourself for being a hero.

Help find a foster. Help with transportation. Help with vet expenses. Volunteer at the rescue/shelter. Stay involved. DO SOMETHING.

Rescues are not magical dumping grounds with unlimited money, space, and time.

Rescue isn't about who gets the credit. It's about who does the work.

So please, stop confusing picking up a cat with actually rescuing one.

You don't get to wear the cape when someone else is doing the rescuing.

If rescue were EASY then magically more people would be doing the hands on hard work. It takes everyone who cares about cats to plug in and figure out how to help those with

Meet NORMAN

This fun loving tabby boy is 2 to 3 years old and a very happy go lucky, confident fella.

By the left ear tip you can see he was trapped while eating at a feral cat colony and soon determined he was not feral...

So he's now with WOW and looking for his happy ever after.

This handsome fella would love a home with another laid back feline or canine buddy. Who is looking for the purrrrrfect new family member?
