She is safe at home!! 🙌😻😑

🚨 LOST KITTEN ALERT • WEST POINT / MAIN ST 🚨

I am absolutely heartbroken writing this. One of my foster kittens that was supposed to go to her new home TODAY has somehow escaped overnight and I need all eyes on Main Street please. 💔

📍 Last seen near: 177 Main Street, West Point (right in the middle of Main St.)

I believe Mama Pickles escaped through a locked kitten door window area during the night and this little girl likely followed her out. I have searched for HOURS outside and inside and cannot find her anywhere. Mama returned immediately when called, but the kitten has not.

This kitten has NEVER been outside before and is likely terrified, hiding silently under something, inside a shed, woodpile, vehicle, porch, bushes, or crawl space.

🐾 Approximately 8 weeks old (8 weeks tomorrow)
🐾 Small female kitten
🐾 Picture attached
🐾 Very scared and may NOT come when called

PLEASE check:
• Under porches
• Sheds/outbuildings
• Wood piles
• Vehicles/engine compartments
• Bushes
• Garages
• Barns
• Any small hiding places

If you see her OR hear tiny meows anywhere near Main Street, PLEASE call or text me immediately:

📞 562-332-8764

I have never lost a foster kitten before in all these years and I am beyond upset. She was supposed to meet her new mommy today. Please share and keep an eye out. Thank you so much. 🙏💔

🚨 FOUND CAT? WISELYVILLE / RAILROAD FLAT RD AREA !
Posting for my friend Brenda. This kitty has been showing up the last 3 nights in a row and appears very hungry, so they’ve been putting food out. 💔
Does this cat belong to anyone nearby? Or does anyone recognize him/her?
📍 Location: Near Railroad Flat Rd / Wiselyville area
🐾 Estimated age: Around 1 to 2 years old
🐱 Appears to be a young tabby, somewhat cautious but coming around for food
🌙 Has been returning nightly, which makes us wonder if someone is missing their cat or if it may have been abandoned
If this is your kitty, or you know where it belongs, please comment or message. We'd love to reunite it with its family if possible. ❤️ Please share so local people see this. Small mountain communities work magic when posts travel. 🏔️🐾
(Brenda is keeping an eye on the cat and making sure it gets food for now.)

UPDATE: ADOPTED TOGETHER!!! 😻☺️💕🙌

😻🐾 Pickle’s babies are unexpectedly looking for homes again…! The adopter who was planning to take BOTH of these babies together unfortunately had to back out, so Kosher (female) & Butters (male) are available again and ready to go home NOW! ❤️ These two have been raised completely inside with tons of love, chaos, a dog in their faces 😅, other cats, people, and all the normal rescue craziness… so they are VERY socialized, playful, confident little kittens.
😺😸 About Kosher & Butters: • Male + Female sibling pair...

• 8 weeks old on Saturday 😻
• Healthy their entire lives, thriving and growing beautifully
• Fully weaned for weeks now
• Eating Fancy Feast kitten food mixed with goat’s milk + pumpkin puree (perfect poops)
• Free-fed Nulo kitten kibble and doing great
• Excellent water drinkers
• Using litter boxes perfectly for weeks ✔️
• Raised around BIG dog and do very well with them
• Extremely affectionate, playful and curious
• 2 siblings have already gone home and are doing AMAZING with their new family's ❤️
And a warning… Butters has become a professional escape artist. 😅 He now vaults over my baby gate following Mama Pickles right out of the kitten room. The tiny potato stage is officially OVER.
📅 IMPORTANT:
These babies already have June 4th appointments scheduled in Diamond Springs for:
✔️ Spay/neuter
✔️ Vaccinations
✔️ Paperwork provided
I ask for a $100 adoption fee per kitten, which I hold toward their scheduled vet appointment. This helps ensure adopters follow through with bringing them back for their appointments and covers their medical care.
These kittens deserve homes that are committed to doing things the right way ❤️
Please message me with:
🏡 Your location
🐶 Other pets in the home
👨‍👩‍👧 Household info
😻 Which kitten you're interested in (or hopefully BOTH!) I’d absolutely love to see these two stay together if possible. They’ve grown up side by side and are a tiny furry tornado duo. 🥹🐾 Text me directly if interested since Facebook is still giving me issues as usual 🫠

Update: All kittens are gone! 😻

🐾🏡 4 KITTENS LOOKING FOR LOVING HOMES!
(Located in Wilseyville area)
These sweet babies will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and come with paperwork before going to their new homes. ❤️ Because vet care is required before adoption, there is a $100 adoption fee to help cover their spay/neuter & vaccine costs. Please remember: fixing kittens prevents countless homeless litters and helps rescue groups continue saving lives. 🙏🐱

😻😻😻😻Available babies:

🩷 Jelly (Female)
Playful, affectionate, and loves being held. Sounds like she’ll be somebody’s little shadow. 🥹
💙 Glaze (Male)
Playful, friendly, enjoys people and likes relaxing in laps when he’s in the mood. Orange boys usually steal hearts fast. ☀️
💙 Fritter (Male)
The quiet sweetheart. More timid, loves naps, and goes with the flow. Perfect for a calmer home. 😴
🩷 Bean (Female, runt)
Tiny but mighty! Very smart, feisty, independent, and not really a lap cat. Bean has big personality packed into a tiny body. 🌶️

🙏 These babies deserve safe indoor homes where they’ll be loved for life. Please be ready for the long commitment that comes with adopting a cat.
📲 My Facebook Messenger is unfortunately still acting up, so please TEXT or CALL me directly if interested: 562-332-8764
Please share! 🙏 The orange babies may go quickly, but every kitten deserves the perfect match. 🩷🐾💙

🌞🐾 Hopeful Paws Project Morning Update 🐾🌞
After the heartbreaking loss of little Cookie, I know a lot of people have been worried and checking in on the babies. Thank you all SO MUCH for the love, prayers, support, and kind words during the last couple of days. ❤️ I wanted to give everyone a positive update this morning. The other kittens are doing WONDERFUL. 🙏🐱
They are:
✨ Playing nonstop
✨ Eating great
✨ Drinking well
✨ Using the litter box
✨ Full of energy and curiosity
The first 24 hours after losing Cookie were honestly terrifying for me. I was extremely paranoid and watching every tiny movement, barely sleeping, and trying to make sense of what happened. But thankfully, it truly seems like it may have just been a tragic one-off situation. The rest of the babies are thriving. 💕 I also decided to move the littler kittens back into the playroom because they were absolutely miserable being isolated after having freedom and the bigger kittens around. The amazing thing is... once I put them back in, they immediately started acting happier and more confident. 🥹 And this morning I caught ALL the babies eating kitten food together from the same plate with the older kittens! 😻🍽️ Big milestone! 💪
I’m also starting to think the smaller babies may actually be a little older than we originally thought. Their eye colors are already beginning to change, and outdoor kittens often stay tiny longer from poor early nutrition and rough starts in life. Mama Pickles has also been incredible. Pickles doesn’t nurse anymore, even her own babies, but she keeps a close eye on everyone, cleans them constantly, supervises playtime, and honestly acts like the little daycare manager of the room. 🧼🐾 I TRULY believe having a calm mother cat around helps these orphan babies emotionally and socially SO MUCH!! ❤️‍🩹
Thank you all again for caring about these babies as much as I do. The rescue world can be emotionally brutal sometimes, but mornings like this feel like little rays of sunshine after a storm. ☀️🐱💕
