We bought this large scratcher for the cats and Bandit has been absolutely in love with it! ❤️

✨Adopt Bandit: Seeking a calm and relaxing home environment in or around Los Angeles, with another feline friend or two! Routine is Bandit’s go-to for making him feel comfortable and secure. Although he does not like being picked up, he adores sleeping by your side, receiving cheek and chin scritches! 💕 His visual impairment does not stop him from having a fun and adventurous time. He loves to scratch on posts and play with toy mice! 💖

With so many cats roaming our community, we put our efforts into providing them with the best and most humane method to living a healthy and happy life…through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)! 🪤🐈‍⬛

From a simple spay/neuter surgery to a wound repair, we get their medical covered before they are returned back to their colony, which they recognize and call home. 🩷 Every community cat is sterilized, vaccinated against FVRCP and rabies, flea treated, and ear-tipped! 🩺 Please consider supporting our TNR efforts by sharing this post, engaging with it, or resharing! 🔁

If you feel inclined to contribute in a different manner, we are always appreciative of donations! Through your generous donation, you help us keep our TNR program free and ongoing! You can visit gatoscallejeros.org/donate to learn how to give! 🔗✨

Happy Friday from Lucy! 🌸🐈‍⬛ She has been doing so well and we are happy of all the progress she has made from just a couple of weeks ago to today! ☀️ We have started on preventative care likes vaccines and flea treatment as we continue medicine for her eye 👁️. Good news is the eye culture we had sent out came back negative and did not detect any resistant infection! So, we are already following best course of treatment for her! 💗

As we continue to bring Lucy into the vet for her follow up appointments, we want to kindly remind everyone that we still have an active fundraiser to recoup veterinary expenses related to her emergency visit 🏥And if you can please consider donating $5, $10, $25 or your preferred amount, we would sincerely appreciate your support!✨

We are so happy to share that kittens Beacon, Bishop, Cardinal, Shepherd, and Priest have been transferred to their rescue Lange Foundation! 💓🐈 We transported them earlier this week and are eternally grateful for their support in accepting these kiddos, so they can complete their vetting and eventually find homes! 🏘️

As a reminder, we still have an active fundraiser online to recoup veterinary expenses related to their care, along with Lucy’s ER visit! 💜 We attached the fundraiser to this post and have raised $1.5k through all donation platforms! 🥹 That means we only have $1,239 remaining to reach our goal! 🙀 Please consider making a contribution of any size so we can get there, together! Thank you so much 💖

Lucy went to the vet today to follow up on her progress and recovery! 🩺🩷

We have great news to share! Lucy is healthy enough to start preventative care like her FVRCP vaccines 💉. Her eye is doing better, but we had an eye stain done to determine how many ulcers she has, so we can be cautious when treating her eye. 👁️ Additionally, we had an eye culture sent out to the lab, so we can determine what kind of bacterial infection is going on in her eye. Once we have the results, the appropriate eye medicine can be prescribed to best treat her! 🌟

Our fundraiser is still going on and we would greatly appreciate your support! We spent $373 today and added our invoice 🧾 on here for transparency. Please, if you can spare any amount, you can make a tax-deductible contribution through:

Guess who hit the one pound club, today!? Little Lucifer! ❤️‍🔥 It has been one full week of supplemental feeding, close monitoring, and medication. Today, she is eating on her own, using the litter box regularly, and running around to play with her toys! 🌟

We continue to chart her weight, supplement 5-6 hours, and administer her medication. 💊 We are so proud of Lucy’s improvements so far. She still needs ways to go, but she is steadily getting there 💖

We have raised $491 towards her hospitalization bill and our fundraising goal of $2,739.38! Thank you so much to those that have contributed so far! ✨ Will you please consider pitching in $5, $10, or even $20 to help us get closer to reaching our goal soon? ❤️ Every dollar counts and we are grateful for your support.

Community cats can get into predicaments that need to be medically addressed and we are here to help colony caregivers, when possible! 💗

Pops lives in Wilmington and was TNR’d through us. 🏘️ His caregiver reached out to us with the first image and we immediately assessed the situation with our vet to provide appropriate treatment and relief for Pops. Two weeks later and we received this updated photo from his caregiver! 😺 ❌UNCENSORED VERSION is in comments, please avoid section to avoid graphic injury! ❌

We do not know what caused the injury. We only know that Pops disappeared for two weeks prior to returning with it. Thankfully, his caregiver knew to reach out to us and together, we have been helping Pops heal. ✨

What a week and weekend so far! From preventative care to emergency care, we have spent a large amount on the kittens under our care! Nearly $3,000 so far 🙀 Swipe to see where exactly all these costs went towards ⬅️

We are putting together a fundraising campaign for our recent expenses. Please, if you can make any size donation, we would wholeheartedly appreciate it. 🩷 You can donate directly through the fundraiser on this post, our zelle or paypal: [email protected], or by visiting our website gatoscallejeros.org/donate! (All easy links can be found in our bio)✨

Kittens Beacon, Bishop, Cardinal, Priest, and Shepherd had physical exams, their first vaccine, and flea treatment. They are currently in foster care with a dear friend of ours until they can head over to their rescue towards the end of May. We had a f***l sent out for previously not named, Draco, the siamese kitten! Our amazing friend took him in this weekend. Follow them to see more of Draco. 🎉

And the one and only, little Lucifer, had us on a rollercoaster this week. Long story short, Lucy was in terrible shape when we picked her up Thursday morning. Our veterinarian recommended for us to immediately take her over to the ER, so we did. Her eyes were crusted shut, filled with pus, and her temperature was so low that it could not be read. We thought we were losing her. But she held on. After speaking with the ER veterinarian, we agreed to have Lucy hospitalized for 24 hours to see if she and her glucose levels could improve. When we spoke to the veterinarian on Friday morning, she gave us hope. Lucy was up and exploring, trying to eat on her own, and her body temperature was back within normal range. We had her discharged Friday evening at 6pm and continue close monitoring to ensure her wellbeing. We are syringe feeding her every 2-3 hours, administering her take-home medications, keeping her warm, and charting her weight, food intake, and litter habits. It is a lot of work, but it is all worth it for little Lucy. We have shared her entire invoice from the hospitalization in hopes to fundraise for it. We will continue to share updates on Lucy and the five Moo-Moo kittens.

If you saw on our stories, little Lucifer (Lucy) was hospitalized the past 24 hours due to her severe upper respiratory infection and hypoglycemia (low glucose levels) that put her near death’s door.

Throughout her hospital stay she made major improvements. She went from a wobbly, cold kitten to a feisty spitfire with a great appetite. We decided to discharge her and continue her treatment plan at home. She is currently on a heat source to make sure her temperature stays within normal range, fed every 2-3 hours, weighed pre and post every feeding, taking her take home medications, and if needed, we have fluids on hand to keep her hydrated. She is still figuring out how to eat due to not being able to see or smell, so we are supplementing as needed, as well. As you can see in the video, she has found her voice again! 🩷

We added a few items to our wishlist for Lucy’s care if you would like to kindly send her a gift 🎁 KMR & p*e pads! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3JWPG97CUERUF?ref_=wl_share

Thank you so much. More updates to come, we just wanted to make a quick update for all of you rooting for Lucy!

Oh my, kittens! 💛 We recently assisted in TNRing a semi-large colony. There were about 15 adults and THREE separate litters. We are happy to report that there are only two adults remaining that need to be trapped (one being Lucy’s mom). 🪤

As for the litters: we have trapped one entire litter so far (Cardinal, Shepherd, Bishop, Priest, & Beacon). They are healthy and chunky babies set to start their FVRCP series this week. They have rescue placement in two weeks. ❤️ The second litter is composed of mostly siamese kittens (No Name’s litter). No Name has rescue placement for this weekend 🎉 His remaining siblings have been a challenge to trap, but they are safe and healthy in the caregiver’s backyard. And the last litter are black little voids like Lucy! Lucy’s litter is sick and needs immediate intervention, fingers crossed we can get the entire litter indoors by the end of the week 🤞🏼

We do not have a list of fosters to call and place kittens when found. We do not have a shelter or facility. So, we incredibly grateful to colony caregivers for opening their home to temporarily house these kittens while we network to find them placement. And thank you to our friends in rescue for partnering with us to find kittens their adopters, when ready! ✨ More updates to come!
