She was giving heckin’ headboops and making biscuits, purring and flopping for belly rubs. There’s a spark of life in her that wasn’t there a few days ago. She is giving it everything she’s got to stay and I’ll be damned if we aren’t going to do the same for her.

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

There’s a cat for everyone, and every cat has its day, and for Elena, today was that day. She has been in the rescue for just over 1 year, and even was adopted and returned once (the original person adopted two cats then decided they could only handle one). But today, it was a perfect match!

Until she’s fully recovered she’s just hanging out in my office b/c of quarantine. She really wants to be with people. She hates the kennel. All our fosters are full with young adults & kittens, so we’re grateful our partner had room for her & her beebs. Another cool fact- she has a bisected nipple!

Mama Rainy is soaking up some attention for herself now that her little ones went off to our partner rescue for their next chapters. Rainy developed an acute case of GI distress, probably pancreatitis, probably from the stress of having kittens demanding milk & too much new nutrition too soon.

I’m so sorry mama Rainy to have to squish you in the kennel with your very large & fat, greedy babies but it’s only for 24 hours ;-; I did sit with them to make sure she remembered & accepted them & that she didn’t seem too stressed to be stuck with them all. There’s still one left to trap.

When you work at a horse vet and you have to weigh a tiny kitten in a hurry because she needs FIP meds ASAP, you get creative. Any port in a storm, I always say. (The kitten’s name is Hazel & she belongs to our partner rescue, but was up for adoption near my work so I picked her up for them).

Two more (please dear gods let these be the last) kittens from the Spice Rack colony, a little girl who was easy to hand-scoop & a little boy who took 48 hours to trap. We got mom first day but unfortunately the boy was too scared & suspicious to come out again, so we had to be patient & persistent.

Step one was introducing touch w/the wand, because she hissed at reaching hands (& had seriously bitten her first foster who tried to handle her w/o her consent). To create positive association w/the wand & encourage her to seek contact, we bribe w/churu. She did well, so I also offered hand & churu
