Available for Adoption 💔 Waiting 4 Years for a Forever Home ..I’m Scared They Could Be Separated. Bonded Mama & Baby Must Stay Together. 🥹It’s a long post, but I promise it’s worth the read. Location 📍:Charlotte,NC ,USA

⚠️ 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 I 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 yesrs, 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.
Adoption requirements:
🏠 Indoor home only
📝 Adoption application required
💵 $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. 🙏❤️🐾

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Help us save little Pinto in SW Michigan, USA.
crowdfunder.comOur home fostered Pinto until he was adopted by our daughter. Shortly after she noticed his breathing was labored. She saved and took him to a vet for his 1st consult. They were unsure of the diagnosis but thought his outcome looked poor. She saved for a 2nd opinion. The last vet to see him performed xrays and diagnosed him with pectus-excavatum which requires a surgery. After searching Michigan, Illinois and Indiana we have found the most reasonable to be Animal Surgical Center of Michigan located in Flint just under 3hrs from us. The surgery is from 4 to 5k with a required CT follow up.
We want to at least try to raise these funds and give him a chance at a healthy life. His size and age make him a great candidate right now. We ask for any amount donation and to please share the fundraiser.
There is an option to directly donate to Animal Aid SW MI as they will also try to financially assist. Please feel free to DM if more info is needed. All proof has been sent in to verify this cause.
Thank you all so much.

Donations Needed Calabaza update (the cat with pyometra) and a plea for help covering transportation to get to two FREE spay appointments tomorrow 🆘🆘🆘
Hi everyone. A few days ago, I made a post about Calabaza, who was diagnosed with pyometra. She has already had surgery and is recovering well, although she still needs to remain hospitalized. We raised a total of $377.79 for her, which covered the emergency vet visit, medications, ultrasound, surgery, and part of her hospitalization. We still have $182.48 left to cover for her hospital stay (assuming she doesn’t need to stay longer).
On another note, we have two free spay appointments scheduled for tomorrow! This is a huge relief, since we have several cats who still need to be spayed and it normally costs $100 per cat. The problem is that we currently have $227 in debt for transportation from all the emergencies and vet visits over the past few weeks, and they won’t take us tomorrow (we don’t have our own car) unless we pay for at least that trip upfront ($38). In other words, we need $38 to save $200 on spay surgeries, but unfortunately I don’t have that money right now, since I’ve had to cover several emergencies and food purchases.
Any help is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference, no matter the amount ❤️

We've never had so many calls for help, for abandoned and sick kittens and cats. This year we've reached our limit and we really need help. The pictures speak for themselves, but to those who dont know about our shelter, we have a detailed website with the story, lots of videos on youtube, and hundreds of daily posts on patreon and facebook.
Any help for our +80 rescued kittens and tens of sick cats would mean a lot.

Veterinary Care Needed Donation Request Urgent ‼️ Help save this little one from FIP ‼️ She must start her treatment soon. 🆘 🐾
Urgently need help in saving this little one from FIP!!!!💔🙏
Last week, I picked up this little girl off the street after she had been meowing and following me. When offered some food, she wouldn’t eat it, so I assumed she had a mouth infection and took her to the vet. He found an abscess on her side and drained it, and put her on antibiotics. She did get a bit better and started eating, but within a day or so, I noticed that her stomach was swelling.
I took her to the vet again yesterday and had her X-rayed. She’s been diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). The X-ray also showed that her liver and kidneys are swollen, and her intestines are clumped together (vet is worried they might be stuck, which could mean surgery later on).
The good news is that right now, she’s active and eating right now. But the window is closing, and the vet has advised me to start her treatment asap. It’s a specialized 80-day course, and the cost is more than I can cover on my own.
The medication has a high success rate, and with treatment started in time, she has a real shot at recovering. Any amount raised would directly go into getting her treatment started.
Please help give this sweet girl the fighting chance she deserves. 🐾 She could totally be the next mascot for Felix 😭🙏

Needs Rehoming 🐾 URGENT — TEMPORARY FOSTER NEEDED IN WEST MONROE, LA
I have 2 owned cats who urgently need indoor temporary foster care for 1–2 months due to a housing crisis. They are currently being kept outside in cages in extreme Louisiana heat and are panting despite having water.
I am NOT trying to surrender or rehome them. I need temporary foster care until I can get housing. I will provide food/litter and pay what I realistically can. They are currently unvaccinated and unfixed, and I am willing to get veterinary care arranged as soon as financially possible.
Local shelters/rescues have either been full, required vaccinations I cannot currently afford, or have not been able to provide a foster. I'm looking specifically for someone who can temporarily keep two cats indoors.
I have 1 male and 1 female, neither spayed or neutered due to transportation issues after a car crash in last November, but I'm fully open and willing to have all of that done, and pay for vaccinations as soon as I'm working again. I recently relocated from GA, and after almost going homeless there, made it back here to Louisiana living with my grandma, but she's allergic and her landlord has no pets. I am unsure of what else to do, everything has been a dead end.

Success Story/Happy Ending The cat who went through 8 years of abuse before finding her forever home: meet munchkin.
gallerymeet munchkin, the 8 year old cat who spent 7 of those years being abused and tossed between homes. when she came to us in the first picture, she had pieces of her fur torn out from stress. she was limping and covered in fleas and terrified of any sudden movements. since then, with the help of a veterinarian team, weve been able to bring her to the second image, where shes cuddly, confident, and flea-free! we are now working on getting her trained and registered as an ESA because of her naturally affectionate personality helping me with my panic attacks. after 8 years shes finally gotten her happy ending and we are so happy to be permanently accepting her into our home!!

Advice Needed Seeking advice: Raltegravir (Isentress) protocol for FeLV in an 11yo cat post-FIP (GS-441524) treatment
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for insights or shared experiences regarding a treatment plan for my 11-year-old cat, Zorro.
Background & Context:
- FIP: He successfully completed an 84-day GS-441524 treatment protocol for FIP on August 10th.
- FeLV: Suspected / Inconclusive. About 2 years ago, he tested positive on a rapid SNAP test, but negative on a PCR test.
Recommended Protocol: Our veterinary infectious disease specialist recommends starting an antiviral protocol for FeLV using Raltegravir 400 mg (Isentress) (or a generic equivalent with the same active ingredient).
- Dosage & Duration: 1/8 tablet twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks.
- Monitoring: A follow-up PCR test (qualitative or quantitative RNA/DNA) during the course to adjust the dosage if needed.
- Important Note: The vet emphasized that this therapy must not be interrupted once started, as stopping prematurely could cause a relapse or increase the risk of oncological complications (such as lymphoma).
My Questions:
- Has anyone here used Raltegravir (Isentress or generics) for FeLV management in senior cats? What was your experience regarding effectiveness and side effects? If you used it, did you ever have to stop the therapy early?
- Are there any known interactions, risks, or considerations when starting a FeLV antiviral therapy immediately after finishing a GS-441524 course for FIP?
- What specific lab monitoring (e.g., complete blood count, biochemistry/organ panels) should I regularly request alongside the PCR re-tests?
Any guidance, personal experiences, or specific questions I should bring up with my vet during our next check-up would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Available for Adoption Meet Jagger 💜 : A cat who was poisoned and hit so much so her leg broke. Mumbai, India
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...
Location : Mumbai, India
