💔🌈 Fly High, Sweet Baby Nova. 🌈💔

We have absolutely devastating news to share.

Today, we had to say goodbye to our sweet baby Nova. 😭💔

As many of you know, Nova was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure at such an incredibly young age. Despite the odds being stacked against him, we were determined to give him every possible chance.

Nova was hospitalized after developing pneumonia and was placed on oxygen. Unfortunately, despite treatment and everyone’s best efforts, our sweet boy continued to decline.

His gums were turning blue, and even with oxygen support, his little body just couldn’t get enough air. He was struggling to breathe, and the added stress was putting even more strain on his already fragile heart.

We knew he was suffering. And as much as we desperately wanted to save him, we couldn’t ask him to keep fighting a battle his little body simply couldn’t win.

So we made the heartbreaking but humane decision to let him go peacefully. 💔

We are absolutely devastated.

Nova deserved so much more time. He deserved to grow up, play, be loved, and experience all the wonderful things life had to offer. It’s so incredibly unfair that his life was cut so short.

But we want to give a very special thank you to Lissy, who opened her home and heart to Nova. Because of her, he got to spend a few precious days outside of the hospital, being loved, spoiled, and simply getting to be a kitten. He got to experience what every kitten deserves, even if only for a little while. ❤️

And for that, we will forever be grateful.

Sometimes rescue isn’t about how many lives we can save. Sometimes it’s about making sure that, even when we can’t save them, they know love, warmth, comfort, and kindness before they leave this world.

Nova knew love. He mattered. And he will never be forgotten.

Fly high, sweet baby boy. 🌈🐾

Run free, breathe easy, and let that little heart of yours finally rest.

We love you, Nova. Forever and always. 💔😭

🖤🐈‍⬛ CARBONARA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! 🐈‍⬛🖤

Another one of our precious babies has officially left the rescue and headed off to his forever home! ❤️

And the best part? Carbonara went to join two of our other recently adopted babies, Teriyaki and Shenzi!!! 🥹❤️

For those who don’t remember Carbonara, he’s our sweet little black kitty who came into the rescue with a severely damaged, ruptured eye. 💔

This poor boy had already been through so much at such a young age. Unfortunately, his eye could not be saved and ultimately had to be surgically removed.

But losing an eye certainly hasn’t stopped this little guy from getting his happily ever after! ❤️

While he was recovering, someone fell in love with him and decided he was going to be part of their family!

🖤 IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT OUR OCTOBER BLACK CAT ADOPTION PAUSE! 🖤

As everyone knows, we have temporarily paused black cat adoptions until November 3rd as an extra precaution during the Halloween season.

Carbonara is an exception because he was ALREADY ON HOLD for his adopter BEFORE October began! His family was simply waiting patiently for him to heal enough to safely go home.

Our pause on new black cat adoptions remains in effect!

After everything Carbonara has endured, knowing he is now safe, loved, and getting to grow up alongside Teriyaki and Shenzi makes my heart so happy. 🥹

From a little kitten with a ruptured eye and an uncertain future to a beloved family member with two rescue siblings of his very own.

This is why we do what we do. ❤️

Happy adoption day, sweet Carbonara! You deserve every bit of happiness coming your way!

And a HUGE thank you to his wonderful family for giving not one, not two, but THREE of our rescue babies a forever home! 🖤🐾

📸 PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT an updated photo of Carbonara. His damaged eye has since been surgically removed.

🚨🐾 POSSIBLE SNEEZY SIGHTING AFTER 4 MONTHS MISSING!!! PLEASE SHARE!!! 🐾🚨

I am trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I am almost POSITIVE I saw our beloved Sneezy last night around 3 AM outside our home in the 1400 block of Elwood Road! 😭❤️

For those who don’t remember, Sneezy is our personal cat who has been missing since June 8th! We have been absolutely heartbroken not knowing where he is or what happened to him.

Last night, I spotted a cat that I am almost certain was him, but before I could get to him, he took off running and meowing! 💔

We are going to be setting a humane trap tonight in hopes of FINALLY bringing our boy home!

🚨 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! 🚨

If you live in or around the 1400 block of Elwood Road, PLEASE keep an eye out!

🐾 Sneezy is a gray tabby.

🐾 He was a heavier boy when he went missing, with a very noticeable saggy belly (primordial pouch). However, after being missing for over four months, he may have lost a significant amount of weight and look much thinner now.

🐾 He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

🐾 He is normally very friendly, but when outside, he becomes terrified and runs.

🐾 He may be hiding under porches, decks, sheds, garages, or other structures.

If you have seen a gray tabby matching his description ANYTIME recently, PLEASE let me know! Even if you aren’t sure it was him, I want to hear about it!

If you spot him, please DO NOT chase him! Contact me immediately so we can try to safely get him home.

💰 REWARD OFFERED FOR HIS SAFE CAPTURE AND RETURN! 💰

📞 570-971-6994

It’s been over FOUR MONTHS since our boy disappeared. I cannot even explain how badly I want this to be him. The thought that he could have been so close to home all this time absolutely breaks my heart.

I am praying with everything in me that last night’s sighting really was our Sneezy and that we can finally bring him home. 😭❤️🐾

PLEASE SHARE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE ELWOOD ROAD AREA!

🐔🐾 HELP! WE’RE DOWN TO OUR LAST 10 JARS OF CHICKEN BABY FOOD! 🐾🐔

Since our intake room officially reopened, we have been absolutely BARRELING through chicken baby food like there’s no tomorrow! 😅

Between the tiny babies who are just learning how to eat on their own, our sick kitties who need a little encouragement, and our picky eaters who turn their noses up at everything else, we are going through SEVERAL jars every single day!

And then there’s sweet Miss Invicta. ❤️

If you remember her story, she came to us severely emaciated and starving. After everything she has been through, the only things she really wants to eat right now are chicken baby food and treats.

And you know what? We will take it! At this point, getting calories into that precious little body is what matters, and if chicken baby food is what she wants, chicken baby food is what she gets! ❤️

Unfortunately, we are now DOWN TO OUR LAST 10 JARS! 😳

We could desperately use some help restocking!

🐔 WHAT WE NEED:

* Ge**er Stage 1 Chicken & Gravy baby food
* PLAIN chicken only!
* NO vegetables or other added ingredients!
* Ge**er is strongly preferred over Beech-Nut.

📸 Photo below for reference so you know exactly what we’re looking for!

🛒 OUR AMAZON WISH LIST:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BEQ7OG8Y5APS?ref_=wl_share

❤️ You do NOT have to purchase from Amazon! Chicken baby food can be purchased anywhere it’s sold! Walmart, grocery stores, or wherever you happen to find it!

You are more than welcome to have it shipped directly to our rescue address or drop it off at our address! Every single jar helps!

If anyone would be willing to donate a few jars, or even a case, we would be incredibly grateful! These little jars are helping us feed some of our tiniest and most vulnerable rescue babies.

It may seem like such a small thing, but when you’re caring for as many sick, starving, and fragile kitties as we are, every single jar makes a difference! 🥹❤️

Thank you all so much for continuing to help us care for the babies who need us most!

🐾💙 NEWEST INTAKE — MEET MR. BOBINSKY! 💙🐾

We’re continuing our Coraline-themed names, and this tiny little gentleman has officially been named Mr. Bobinsky! 🐭💙

We received a plea for help for this precious little boy who was found along Route 864, north of the Lycoming Mall, with no momma or siblings anywhere in sight. 💔

And when I say little, I mean LITTLE!

Mr. Bobinsky is approximately 4 weeks old, weighs just 11.2 ounces, and has one of the saddest little cries I have ever heard. 😭

But what broke my heart even more was just how STARVING he was.

Once we introduced him to some wet kitten food mixed with baby food, he absolutely CHOWED DOWN! This poor little guy was so incredibly hungry. 💔

‼️ PLEASE, NEVER ASSUME A KITTEN IS TOO YOUNG TO EAT ON ITS OWN JUST BECAUSE IT’S TINY! ‼️

Kittens can begin transitioning to wet food around 4 weeks old. While some still need supplemental bottle feeding, others are perfectly capable of eating wet food.

This little boy went far too long without eating because people assumed he needed to be bottle-fed, when in reality, he was more than capable of eating on his own.

He wasn’t refusing food. He simply hadn’t been offered food he could eat. 😢

Thankfully, aside from being skinny, having a few tiny ticks, and some crustiness around his eyes, Mr. Bobinsky appears to be in pretty good health!

We don’t know how he ended up all alone, where his momma went, or whether there are siblings still out there.

But we do know that this tiny little boy now has a full belly, a warm place to sleep, and people who will make sure he never has to go hungry again. ❤️

Welcome to Heidi’s Furry Friends Rescue Inc., Mr. Bobinsky! 🐾💙

Our little Coraline family just grew by four tiny paws! 🖤🐈

🎉🐾 SALSA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! 🐾🎉

Remember our sweet little bottle baby, Salsa?! 🥹❤️

Let us refresh your memory!

On August 5th, 2026, we welcomed this tiny little boy into Heidi’s Furry Friends Rescue Inc. after he was found all alone, screaming his little heart out from a bush outside someone’s home in Sunbury. 💔

He was only approximately 3 weeks old!

There was no momma in sight, no siblings, just one tiny, hungry baby crying desperately for someone to help him.

And just like that, we had ANOTHER bottle baby! 🍼😂

Salsa was brought into safety, given a full belly, a warm place to sleep, and all the love and care a tiny orphaned kitten could possibly need.

As he grew, Salsa became buddies with another one of our bottle babies, Alfredo! Remember him? He’s the little guy who was rescued from the mouth of a black rat snake!

These two boys grew up together under the wonderful care of their foster mom, Robyn, who dedicated countless hours to bottle-feeding, caring for, and raising them. ❤️

And now, just a few days after announcing Alfredo’s adoption, it’s Salsa’s turn!!! 🥹🎉

From a helpless little 3-week-old baby screaming alone in a bush to a handsome young boy heading off to his forever home.

THIS is why we do what we do. ❤️

Thank you to the wonderful people who found Salsa and made sure he got help, to Robyn for all the sleepless nights and dedication it takes to raise these tiny babies, and to his new family for giving him the forever home he deserves!

Happy adoption day, Salsa!!! 🐾❤️

We love you, little man! Go live your very best life! 🏡💕

💔🐾 UPDATE ON NOVA — OUR LITTLE HEART FAILURE FIGHTER 🐾💔

Our sweet little Nova just can’t seem to catch a break. 😢

As many of you know, Nova is our young kitten who was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Something that is incredibly rare in a kitten so young.

Yesterday, Nova started sneezing, and this morning, things took a scary turn when he began mouth breathing at his foster home. He was immediately rushed to Rosebird Veterinary Center for emergency care.

Unfortunately, Nova has now developed aspiration pneumonia. 💔

He needs to be placed on oxygen therapy and will require hospitalization for the next several days while the veterinary team works to stabilize him.

And as many of you know, our sweet Dolly is ALSO back at Rosebird, battling pneumonia again and requiring oxygen therapy. 😭

We now have TWO critically ill kitties hospitalized and requiring oxygen at the same time.

Oxygen therapy is incredibly expensive, especially when it’s needed around the clock for multiple days. But these babies deserve every fighting chance we can give them. ❤️

🙏 There is ONE little piece of good news for Nova!

His BNP level, which helps assess the strain on his heart, has decreased from 330 to 301! While it’s still elevated and Nova is far from out of the woods, we are thankful to see some improvement in that number.

Between Nova’s heart failure, his new pneumonia diagnosis, and Dolly’s ongoing battle, our veterinary expenses are continuing to climb.

❤️ If you are able to donate anything at all toward their hospitalization and oxygen therapy, we would be incredibly grateful. Even $5 makes a difference when so many people come together.

🏥 Donations can also be made directly to Rosebird Veterinary Center under Heidi’s Furry Friends Rescue Inc.

We are doing everything we possibly can to give these babies a chance. We just need a little help keeping up with the overwhelming costs of doing so.

Please keep Nova and Dolly in your thoughts and prayers. Both of these babies have already fought so hard, and we desperately want to see them pull through. 🥺❤️

Thank you for continuing to stand behind us and the animals who need us most.
