💐This Mother’s Day, we’re thinking about the mothers no one celebrates enough — the mama cats living on our streets.

While many of us spend today surrounded by comfort and family, community cats are out there fighting to survive while caring for their babies. They search endlessly for food, hide their kittens from danger, dodge traffic, harsh weather, predators, and sometimes even cruel people. Despite it all, they protect, nurture, and love their babies the best they can.

But no mother cat should have to suffer through litter after litter just to survive.

That’s why spaying and neutering matters so deeply. It prevents suffering, reduces homelessness, improves the health and safety of both pets and community cats, and creates a more compassionate community for everyone. Every surgery means fewer kittens born into hardship and fewer animals struggling to survive outdoors.

At Second Chance Kitty, we work tirelessly to help end the cycle of overpopulation through rescue, education, and spay/neuter efforts in our community. Every cat fixed is a step toward fewer homeless animals and healthier, happier lives for cats everywhere.

💐This Mother’s Day, you can honor mothers of every kind by supporting spay and neuter efforts in your community. Because being a mother shouldn’t mean struggling just to stay alive. 🐾

Hello friends and supporters 🧡
We want to share Boggs & Haller’s story with you. Boggs and Haller’s journey began when they were discovered on a doorstep when they were just 8 weeks old - two tiny orange kittens who quickly grew into big 12-pound sweethearts and who’ve always been inseparable.

Two years ago, Haller became critically ill with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). Our rescue took a leap of faith and funded his treatment, and today he is completely healthy and thriving.

Next it was his brother Boggs’ who needed a miracle. Last week he developed a severe urinary blockage caused by crystals. These can be life threatening because they physically cannot urinate.

Boggs spent four days at a veterinary hospital fighting to recover. He finally came home... but the following morning he was blocked again and had to be rushed to Sylvan Veterinary Hospital.
The veterinarians had to perform a Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) - a procedure that creates a new, wider urinary opening to prevent life-threatening blockages from occurring in the future. The surgery saved his life.

Boggs is already feeling better and showing us the same sweet, loving personality everyone adores. But emergency hospitalization, surgery, medications, and follow-up care have created a large veterinary bill for the rescue that dipped quite a bit deeper than we were anticipating. All veterinary bills combined for Boggs were a little over $3k.

If any of you feel moved to donate to our rescue it would be appreciated. Even $5 or $10 - truly helps. If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this post-can help Boggs reach someone who can.

This rescue is dedicated to ensuring the cats and kittens in our care receive the treatment they need to thrive. Thank you all for listening and if you can help us replenish some of the funds used to give this sweet orange boy the future he deserves and a third chance, we’d be grateful.

You light up my life ❤️

We just LOVE getting amazing adoption updates like this!!

“My partner and I adopted Wendell about a year and a half ago, and just wanted to send a little update on how he’s doing. His name is now Kuiper, and he has truly been the perfect addition to our family.
Kuiper is incredibly patient with his two lazy, less social siblings. He always respects their space, but still tries to get them to play with him - and every once in a while he actually succeeds!
He’s the biggest sweetheart. We started fostering kittens last year, and Kuiper has turned out to be the best big foster brother.
He’s the first cat we introduce the kittens to, and he seems to teach them how to play, be confident, and trust. It’s really special to watch. He’s also very active and sooo smart - sometimes almost frustratingly smart because he figures out toys and brain teasers way too quickly! And he’s a huge mama’s boy. He’ll cuddle with dad, but only if I’m already cuddled up with him first.
We always joke with family and friends that if anything ever happened to us, Kuiper would be the one everyone would fight over taking home. He just has that kind of personality that makes people fall in love with him instantly.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. Because of your rescue, Kuiper found his way to us, and we couldn’t imagine our home without him.

Thank you again for bringing him into our lives.”

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know this!! We appreciate you and thank you for loving him so!!
