Our dear dear friend Haley at @friendsofbear.bsky.social has a very sick, sweet geriatric kitty who is in the hospital dealing with some stuff. She posted on her IG that all she’d like for her birthday today is some donations for his care: linktr.ee/friendsofbear

friendsofbearcatrescue one of my favorite little FoB sanctuary buddies Mr. Peaches is currently in the hospital
no pressure but it's my birthday today
and I would love nothing more than if you could donate toward his hospital bill so we can give him the best chance
our donation links are in our bio!
Peaches came to us at the end of May after 13 hard years on the street. His time outside definitely showed, he was in horrendous shape and weighed 5
Ibs of mostly fleas. Since then, we have been managing his various conditions. He's dealt with anemia, congestion, gastric ulcers, kidney disease, horrible dental disease... the list goes on. We've been slowly chipping away at these issues and he was actually starting to feel pretty good! A couple weeks ago, he started backsliding and I've been trying to figure him out. This weekend, it became clear he was declining and what I was doing at home wasn't enough, so I had to admit him to the hospital.
Peaches is dealing with an infection, dehydration, another gastric ulcer, pretty awful congestion and a mild hit to his kidneys. Thankfully, after 24 hrs of fluids, he's showing improvement. Through all of this, he continues to have the loudest purr and best headbutts for everyone who helps him
I feel hopeful that we can get Peaches back on track and give him more time to feel loved and cherished, something he missed out on for his first 13 years of life. If you're able to pitch in $1 or $5 toward his care, we would all appreciate it more than you know.
Everyone who has met this little guy knows how special he is and how much he wants to stick around
thank you all as always for the ongoing support for these gross cats, they are my heart and soul and your donations and kind comments mean the world to me

I have a Big Ask from our community. Many of you will remember our graduates Pikachu and Eevee, who were adopted together. Eevee had dealt with some very challenging chronic diarrhea while she was a kitten, but before adoption, we figured out a food that worked for her & she was all better (thread)

Eevee, a soft dilute torbie cat, hunched over looking uncomfortable and thin.

Human is not doing too well mentally right now, so I am working overtime! Today I did a very difficult but effective manuever: petting their face with my tail. It made them smile so much!

I did not do a Clee Sit yesterday, so to make up for it, I have two photos!

For my 5th birthday, human got me some fancy cheese! I like to lick human’s plate when they eat cheese stuff, but human said it was not safe cheese. I sniff sniffed the cheese and then lick licked it, but still did not eat it! It is still a good birthday, because I’m spending it with human 🥰

Some sad news, friends. Blair, one half of @blairandbabka.bsky.social, has gone over the rainbow bridge

Screenshot from blair (abolishun type)/sweetfirecat on Twitter. Text reads “We’re heartbroken to share that Blair has crossed the rainbow bridge. She fought hard against hyperthyroidism, kidney issues, and diabetes and we are so, so proud of her. She will always be our forest fire survivor. Our sweet fire cat. Thank you all for being her friends 💙”
Attached are two photos of Balir, the black and white cat. One has her curled up in a crescent shape, the other has her peering over a tub of yogurt or ice cream with her paw perched on the rim and staring at the camera

Our sweet Shoyu is still looking for her very own home. She has never had a single application in the 19 months she has been in our rescue. She is shy and unassuming, but extremely cute and willing to show affection if you have a patient and soft way with her. www.petfinder.com/cat/shoyu-37...

Last night, the Animal Protective League shelter in Springfield, IL had the roofs ripped off both of their buildings by a tornado. Thankfully, all animals & staff are safe, but both buildings are a total loss. Fosters for displaced pets & donations needed! www.instagram.com/p/DZcjW9DlHQ...

A building lies in splintered ruins with pink insulation and particle board strewn everywhere, including up in a shredded tree.

Volunteers work to remove animals from one of the shelter buildings which no longer has a roof. Trees sheared completely off are visible in the background.

Destroyed chain link dog runs are stacked on top of each other from where they were thrown together by the tornado’s vortex.

Good morning! I have a new nightly routine! I come over to human and make biscuits on them while I get my head rubs. Then I attend to some business downstairs. Then I come running in and out of the bedroom while singing my special song.

(I would like to take this moment to demonstrate how Calypso is just a small girl. The pics I post here are always close up or zoomed in, but this gives a better idea of how small she is.)

Kittens are everywhere and we can’t help them without foster homes to get them safe and socialized and ready for adoption. If you’re in the Newark, DE/Northeastern MD area and you want to be a loving temporary stop for some kittens (or adult cats!) who need a little TLC, DM us!

Update! My eye is still a little squinty, but I always take the full two weeks of medicine to get better. I have been very good about medicine time (even though it’s no fun) and even come when called for it. Human says I’m a good patient!

Our wonderful older kitten Laguna had a meet and greet yesterday, but ultimately they chose to adopt another cat from a different rescue who they felt would fit their current cat better. And we support that! But it means Laguna still somehow looking for a family. www.petfinder.com/cat/laguna-f...

I’m putting out a call for a short term foster for Sir This Is A Wendy’s (Dave for short). He’s ear tipped but we don’t have any way to trace who had him fixed or where his colony is, I don’t have any foster space for him currently, & the local SPCA protocol is to turn him back out after stray hold.
