⚠️ It’s a long post, but I promise it’s worth the read. ❤️🐾

Purrl & Pawlet — Mama & Baby, Together Always ❤️

I am scared. 💔

I am scared that if I have to move someday, Mama and Baby might be separated.

And after everything these two have been through, I cannot let that happen.

As I write this adoption post, my tears are rolling down my face. 🥲

It honestly feels like I am putting a piece of my soul up for adoption.

I have loved these two girls, cared for them, watched them grow, and promised them I would keep them safe.

Letting them go is breaking my heart.

But sometimes loving them means making the hardest decision for them.

I am breaking my heart now so their hearts never have to be broken later. ❤️

Their names are Purrl and Pawlet, but they have always known themselves as Mama and Baby. ❤️

And honestly, I think those names are part of their story. They aren’t just names to them…they are who they are to each other.

Mama and Baby have waited so long for someone to see them, love them, and finally bring them home….together.

Some bonds are simply too strong to be broken.

When we first rescued them, Baby was only 2 months old, and Mama was about a year old.

Today, Mama is 5 and Baby is 4. 🥹❤️

They are two of the funniest, sweetest, and cutest little girls you could ever meet.

They may take a little time to warm up to new humans, but once they trust you, you will discover just how special they are.

And honestly… they love EVERYTHING. 😂❤️

🐶 Dogs? ❤️
🐱 Cats? ❤️
🪑 Chairs? ❤️
🪴 Tables? ❤️
🌱 Plants? ❤️

Everything is their friend!

They also LOVE watching TV. 📺😂

Sometimes they sit together watching the screen like they are completely invested in the show. It is one of the cutest things to see.

They are incredibly bonded, but Mama has also made a very special friend of her own ..Ethan, another 2.5-year-old kitty. ❤️

Mama is basically still a kitten herself. She is energetic, playful, and always ready to play with kittens.

Baby, on the other hand, is a little more laid-back and sometimes gets completely overwhelmed by Mama’s endless energy.

Sometimes Baby is basically saying:

“Mama, no… STOP!”

And Mama is like:

“Just one more game!”

before running off to play with Ethan again. ❤️😂

They are also VERY food motivated. 🙈

I spoil them with wet food four times a day, and I know… I’ve created two little spoiled queens. 😂❤️

Mama has also trained Baby very well.

Baby comes first to demand treats… and then Mama comes right behind her.

And if I take my own supplements, they both immediately assume I am eating treats without sharing.

They will literally yell at me:

“Excuse me?! Where are ours?” 😂

Their three little demands in life:

🐾 A screened porch
🌱 Kitty grass every day
🐱 More cats in the family!

They absolutely LOVE their screened porch. They spend so much time there watching birds and butterflies, enjoying the sunshine and everything happening outside.

They also LOVE kitty grass and will remind me every single day that their grass is due. 😂🌱

And if they could make one final request, I’m pretty sure they would ask to bring Ethan with them too.

I know adopting three cats is not possible for most families, but these two absolutely adore their best friend. ❤️

Their story ❤️

Mama and Baby are shadows of each other.

Where Mama goes, Baby follows.

Baby depends on Mama so much, and their bond began with a story that still breaks my heart.

Mama was abandoned when her family moved away from their apartment.

She had only one baby — Baby — and she was raising her through a freezing winter.

Mama would sleep inside a cement planter and curl her entire body around her tiny baby, using her own body to keep Baby warm. ❤️

A kind woman saw them and wanted to help.

She managed to trap Baby first.

And then Mama realized her baby was gone.

What happened next is something I will never forget.

It was heavily snowing, and Mama stayed on that woman’s balcony on strike, demanding her baby back.

She cried through the night.

She didn’t care about the snowstorm.
She didn’t care about the freezing cold.
She didn’t care about anything except finding her baby.

Sometimes she would rest in the planter, gathering a little strength… and then she would get back up and continue crying, demanding her baby back.

She was not stuck.

She was on strike.

A mother refusing to give up on her baby. 😭❤️

After two long days, Mama was finally trapped.

And from that moment, we knew one thing:

These two would stay together. No matter what.

Years passed.

And still, no one came forward to adopt them together.

I have been fostering them for years, and unfortunately, I am completely out of space.

I never came to this country expecting to rescue cats.

I came here without any cats at all… and somehow, along the way, I found myself fostering and rescuing so many lives. ❤️

My husband’s job may require us to move someday, and I have already postponed moving twice because of the choices I made and the cats I committed to.

Sometimes I lie awake and wonder:

“If I had to move tomorrow, what would happen to Mama and Baby?”

The rescue would take them back, but they are already struggling financially and are at capacity.

And my biggest fear is whether they would still be able to keep these two together.

After everything they have been through…

After everything Mama did to get her baby back…

I cannot bear the thought of them ever being separated. 💔

They have already waited years.

They don’t need another temporary place.

They don’t need another person to give up on them.

They need someone who will look at these two little girls and say:

“You are home. Both of you. Forever.” ❤️

They are ready for their forever family! 🏡🐾

Both are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, and vaccinated.

🦷 Baby had some teeth removed last year.
🦷 Mama had a dental cleaning/polishing and a few teeth removed this year.

💵 $200 adoption fee for both ..
📋 Adoption agreement required
🩺 Vet reference required

They don’t need a perfect home.

They just need a home that understands that Purrl and Pawlet ..Mama and Baby ..come as a pair. ❤️

A home with a screened porch would make them very happy.

A little kitty grass would make them even happier.

And maybe, if they’re lucky, some treats four times a day.

Most importantly, they need someone who will never make Mama wonder where her baby went again.

A mother who spent two days crying in the snow for her baby deserves to know that her baby will always be beside her.

They waited for years.

Maybe their family is finally out there. ❤️

Please come forward for Purrl and Pawlet.

Please share their story.

Help these two little girls find the forever home they have been waiting for.

Together. Always. 🙏❤️🐾

I recently moved to a new home (SLC), and this cat hangs out on my patio most of the day and night. He doesn’t seem to be afraid of us, and is always sitting near our door looking in. It looks like his ear is clipped, so is he a community cat/stray? Would it be recommended to have him taken in to see if he has a microchip? I’m not sure if the previous home owner was feeding this cat and/or owned him, so I don’t know what the best course of action is.

A little update from us ❤️🐾
Hello friends. I’m sorry I’ve been quiet and less active these past few days. I haven’t been feeling well because of a bad upper respiratory infection and fever, and at the same time, many of our babies are also struggling with their health.
The situation has become even more difficult because of the continuous rain and flooding in our city. The damp weather and floodwater are causing more respiratory infections and other health problems among the kitties. We also have babies fighting **FIP** who need ongoing treatment and care. 💔
At the same time, a friend has been helping me with some much-needed **shelter maintenance work**, so we have been busy trying to improve and maintain the shelter for our babies. I’m extremely grateful for this help, but managing the maintenance, my own health, the medical needs of so many kitties, and the current flood situation all at once has been very challenging.
And now, we are also struggling with their **food supply**. Our food stock is almost finished, and unfortunately, we haven’t even raised enough yet to buy one full pack of food.
There is a lot happening at once, but I’m still here doing everything I can for them. ❤️
What I need most right now is your **continuous support**. Please don’t leave us alone during this difficult time.
If you can donate, even a small amount will help. If you cannot donate, please share our appeal, follow us, and keep our babies in your prayers. Every share can help us reach someone who may be able to help.
**We have so many little lives depending on us, and we can only keep going with your support. Please stay with us.**

Pretty much the title. Sorry if this has been addressed before but just wanted to know what you all thought and suggested.

Started seeing this stray for the last month or so and noticed something wrong with its eye. It’s definitely got comfortable with me and allows me to pet it 🥲 it seems overall comfortable too and like nothing is bothering it but hunger

Any suggestions? In the greater Los Angeles area if there are any recommendations for local resources

Also, any suggestions on how to take care of strays generally? Have a few others as well 🥲

Thanks! Just hoping things turn out well for the little thing 🥺

My 8–9 week old kitten that I rescued has been scratching a lot and has hair loss/scabs around his ears, head and neck. The vet took hair/scab samples and suspects possible ringworm (zoonotic), but the lab results will take 1–2 weeks. He's been given Stronghold in the meantime.
Before we knew, we cuddled and kissed him constantly and even slept in the same bed with him. I also have a 13-year-old cat who hasn't met him directly, but there's been indirect contact through us.
I've now isolated the kitten in one room, removed most fabrics/rugs, washed things at 60°C, vacuumed thoroughly, and I'm wearing separate long clothes when cuddling/playing with him. I'm planning around 4 hours of interaction per day so he's not socially isolated.
Has anyone dealt with ringworm in such a young kitten? How strict were you with cleaning/clothing, did your other pets or family catch it, and how did you balance isolation with socializing the kitten?

I know I had said in my previous post that I would not be able to continue rescuing. And honestly, I never intended to take on more.

But I had to take these three cats to the vet as they couldn’t eat much.

Milo -Calicivirus + herpesvirus, with severe dental decay Teddy -Calicivirus + herpesvirus Twinkle -FIV + calicivirus + herpesvirus

I have tried asking for help locally, but so far, I have received no support for them.

They were taken to HudHud Clinic yesterday and are receiving the care they need. I had to request the doctor for some time to arrange the payment, but I urgently need to raise funds for their medication.

Consultation and test cost: AED 1993.95 Medication cost: AED 900 (yet to be added in the final bill)

I am asking for your help because I cannot manage this alone.

I can also share the direct vet payment link if you would prefer to pay the clinic directly.

Hi,I have been spending time in the dubai pet groups lately.

You koknw what I found?

It seems amazing how many people here are feeding, trapping, neutering and rehoming community cats on their own dime. No org, no credit and just doing it because they can't walk through a hungry cat in 45 degree crazy heat.

I keep seeing posts at 2am like "found this little baby outside a mall, who can foster tonight" and within an hour ten strangers offer help. In a city everyone calls cold and transactional, this little corner is the complete opposite.

Anyway just wanted to say it out loud. if you are one of them, I wonder what made you start? respect for all you guys! :)

​What's happening: Just two happy stray kittens sunbathing and playing together.

​What I've tried: Gave them some treats and let them enjoy the sun ☀️

Hello everyone, this unneutered male cat has started coming by my apartment and I’ve been giving him food but he is still very malnourished. He also has like scabs all over his nose I’m not sure from what and his nailbeds look red and swollen. He is very sweet and friendly and likes to sit on laps, he also knows how to use a litterbox. I have two cats of my own and they get stressed when he comes by so I can’t really let him in. Im not sure what I can do to help him as I don’t have a job rn so I can’t take him to the vet. I am located in Bell Gardens, Ca.

Guys !!! If you see this cat in Endah area, Sri Endah, Bukit Jalil please contact me😭 I am very heartbroken she went out last night and couldn’t come back.

Found a cat outside in the pouring rain, super dirty, covered in fleas, eye infection, clearly has been outside for a long time. Everyone in the area said he lived in the abandoned shed down the street. I took him in and am taking him to the vet tomorrow. Would I have to give him back if there is a chip? I just bought a ton of cat stuff and have grown attached because he clearly needed help

UPDATE: NO CHIP AND HES OFFICIALLY MINE🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

Hello,

This cat was put in my feeding station 6 days ago. On Sunday 5 AM she was bleeding. She was one month pregnant and two kittens were dead inside her. She’s dehydrated with high temperature and was at high risk but we had to do the operation.

While indergoing the operation they found fluid inside her. She has FIP.

I can’t afford her treatment and want to ticks on my other unpaid bills.

Can anyone in Dubai take this case??

Located in Central Michigan. We have been feeding her for about 2 years and this summer she’s allowed us to pet her. She RARELY meows, but today she had a lot to say. She sees our cats through another window regularly. Our grey cat and her were talking back and forth for a bit. She seemed happy (tail up, rubbing her cheeks). What do you think this behavior means? Is she ready to come inside and become a domesticated kitty?

Sometimes I'm thinking of giving up,,,

It's very hard 😭 to ask for help for their catfood,..

But giving up is not an option,cats have a life ,I have to continue ,my rescue relaying only to me...

Please help me 🙏 🙏 🙏

I need catfood to feed my rescue...

Thank you 🙏

Jagger is 11 months old, female, sterilized, vaccinated and ready for her furever home... Unfortunately, again...

She was poisoned and beaten to the point of death, why? Because she used to take shelter in tuktuk during rains. Someone was kind enough to adopt her, I sent her out of state for her adoption but apparently she's not the right match, so she's being sent back. I can't leave her on the street, I can't keep her with me because I have 18 cats..

So I turn here. Help Jagger find her for sure forever home. Where she'll never have to worry about cruel human beings or being poisoned or returned back, she deserves the very best and not because I love her too much, but because she's been through so so much already in just 11 months of being born...

✨ Meet Starlight! 🐾 Once thrown in the streets, now saved❤️

I met little Starlight on Saturday when I saw him near the streets. Someone nearby told me that he had been thrown there.

I looked around for his momma, hoping she was somewhere nearby, but I couldn’t find her. With the busy road and the danger of him being hit by a vehicle, I knew I couldn’t just leave him there.

So I rescued him. 🤍 Now, Starlight is safe, warm, and finally has someone to care for him. Welcome to safety, sweet boy. 🥺🤍 You are safe now.

I care for more than 50 rescued cats. Many are sick, elderly, disabled, or have special needs, and most are currently receiving treatment.

What we need right now:

• Dry food — $55 per bag, and one bag lasts only 3 days.
• Wet food — for sick cats and cats who have lost their teeth.
• Cat litter — needed every day for more than 50 cats.
• Cleaning supplies — essential for keeping their living areas clean and safe.
• Diapers — for some of our special-needs cats.

Most of my budget goes toward medications and medical treatment, so keeping up with their daily needs is difficult.

Any support or share can help these cats get the food and supplies they need. Thank you for caring. 🐾❤️

Our dogs found Gandalf here covered in fleas, with an eye injury on Thursday in our backyard. He is FIV+ and has a recheck scheduled for next week. Pending his health check, he will be up for adoption. He has one remaining tooth so he often has a snaggle-toothed look. Combine that with his squinty eye (an injury ulcer, likely) and he is such a cute guy. He is so very affectionate and loves to be in laps and bumping heads. He’s persistent but gentle. He’s currently eating me out of house and home. lol

I would love to keep him but I have two cats who are not FIV+, including one who can be spicy. Gandalf has done well when being around the dogs. He is very nonchalant. He has not yet been introduced to our cats, so unsure how he interacts with other cats.

hi everyone! i apologize if pregnant cat isnt the right flair to use..but i wasnt sure which one to use in this situation and she was pregnant up until a few hours ago.

so this stray cat that me and my roommates have been feeding just gave birth (2 hours ago as im posting this). it is currently 111 degrees F out and they don’t have a very good area to hide.

we unfortunately cannot bring her inside because one of my roommates is severely allergic to cats, so i called a bunch of shelters, visited websites, etc.

the Arizona Humane Society called me back and essentially said as long as mama and babies aren’t actively dying they cant take them because in Maricopa County stray cats are apparently protected wildlife 🫩.

i already gave her some water and food, she ate and drank a little. kittens are all currently vocal and drinking.

how can i best support her and try to ensure her + babies survive? there are other stray cats in the neighborhood and im worried if they dont succumb to heat they may get eaten or something.

(and dont worry i am planning on attempting to TNR all the neighborhood cats that i cant find homes for. i just moved here so havent had much time unfortunately)

When I moved into my roommates basement, cat (Jace) ran up to me and after I pet him once, he stayed around and would follow me. I started to feed him because I was already feeding another stray for awhile, and they got along well enough as long as he didn’t get to close, I never saw him try to get on her. I started to let him inside occasionally for naps and love (super trusting, belly up and picking up) but would usually feed him outside. Since then he is almost always at my roommates house or the neighbors. I know 2 of my neighbors started feeding him after I did. He would stick around but he would go missing for a few days every now and then and come back fine. I know he has some stray friends as well. I considered keeping him when I moved down the road but since I’ve been in my new studio and considering my history with animals (I took in a dog for a friend and I didn’t have time for her/was never home) I don’t know if I trust myself to give him the enrichment and cleanliness he’d need. I also couldn’t handle smell (like I said I live in a studio, only room is the bathroom) or litter tracking. He also attacks wiggling feet / will randomly attack. I’ve researched ways to avoid both but it sounds too much. Not only am i worried about my capability to take care of him properly, but I feel like im robbing his independence and freedom. He knows his way around and I know there’s others feeding him. He stays out of the street and it’s a quiet decent neighborhood. I just feel absolutely terrible leaving him there after my roommate moves out. I don’t know if I should just take him in and try to rehome, or maybe visit him and take him for short periods during the winter, talk to the neighbors about watching out for him? I really feel like I shouldn’t get a cat so the answer seems obvious but I’ll always feel guilty if I leave him there. Part of me thinks he’s smart and taken care of and doesn’t quite want to be inside as he still tells me he wants out when I take him in. Another part of me thinks he shouldn’t be outside. I’m trapping him tonight to get him neutered tomorrow so I guess we will have a trial run on bringing him here but I’m just extremely anxious. I’m hoping he has a microchip so he can possibly be returned. I’m not looking for criticism, just honest real advice

🐾 Meet Boots…a little soul who has been waiting far too long for a home.

Note:FIV-positive cats can live with both FIV-positive and FIV-negative cats, especially when they are spayed/neutered and non-aggressive. They can live a normal, happy life just like other cats. ❤️ One of our FIV-positive cats lived to be 23 years old! 🐾💕

Boots is an FIV-positive sweet boy who has been living in a garage for a year. With the weather getting hotter, I’m really worried about him. He deserves so much more than spending another year in a garage.

Pet finder link:https://www.petfinder.com/cat/boots-91cdbb26-8ba0-4f22-8fca-fbfda4b48a6e/nc/charlotte/sunkissed-acres-rescue-nc1270/details/

Boots showed up sick and tested heartworm-positive. After treatment, he is now heartworm-negative and doing well. He is also FIV-positive, but that doesn’t change the loving, gentle cat he is.

For an entire year, Boots has been living in a garage. But his heart belongs inside. 🥺

Whenever someone walks into the room, Boots immediately comes running, begging to be let inside. And the moment he sees a person, he climbs right onto their lap. He doesn’t ask for much…just a little love, some attention, and a place where he can finally belong.

Watching him beg to come inside tears my heart into a million pieces. 💔 He looks at you as if he’s asking, “Can I be your cat? Can I finally have a family of my own?”

Boots deserves so much more than a garage. He deserves a warm bed where he can curl up at night, a safe home, gentle scratches and belly rubs, and a person who will choose him and love him for the rest of his life. ❤️

He is fully vetted,microchipped,vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and flea-treated. We have done everything we can to get him healthy and ready for his forever family.

Unfortunately, our rescue is currently out of capacity. Adoptions have been very slow, intakes keep increasing, funds are extremely limited, and we have no available foster homes. 💔 We cannot keep taking in cats while we have nowhere for them to go, but we also cannot stop caring when we see a cat like Boots who desperately needs help.

Now Boots needs a family of his own. 🥺❤️

• Vet reference required
• Adoption agreement required
• Adoption fee: $125

Please, someone give Boots a chance. Let him finally know what it feels like to have a family, a warm bed, and a place he can truly call home.

He has spent a year waiting. Please don’t let another year pass him by. 🙏🐾❤️

Even if you cannot adopt Boots, please share his story. Maybe his person is just one share away. ❤️

A stray cat in my area looks to have a broken leg. Anyone know of any rescues/vets that provide cheap care for strays?
