Before and after. Jolly as a kitten last year, and at her new home now.

Jolly the kitten. She's gray and fluffy.

Jolly the young adult. Still gray, slightly less fuzzy, but she has the same curious stare.

Offense seems harder to score highly with in this one. Got a bunch of 99 Def scores before but it took 3 MVPs and more to get a top offense.

One week and an emergency spay for pyometra later, and Cindy seems like she's doing much better. She just needs to put on weight. For a cat who was on the verge of starvation, she's shockingly picky. She has bougie tastes and loves people food, but doesn't want to eat wet cat food.

Got the skinniest rescue cat I've ever seen in yesterday. She must've been dumped because she's too friendly and too unafraid of being indoors. The poor thing is anemic and has an ulcer from starvation. But a day later she's already discovering toys and loves to be loved.

Ash and Abraham are still looking for their forever home. They're not brothers, but they've been inseparable ever since they met. Anyone in the southeast US looking to add some joy to their family, get in touch. They're good with other cats, haven't been around dogs or small kids. Fixed and chipped

My mom bought this hideous bloody fangs cat bed and I'm kind of disappointed mama cat chose to keep her kittens in it even though it's a very practical shape.

Thought I was done with fosters for this season, but there are always more. Names tbd, but there are 3 kittens. Mom is only about 7 months old, so still a baby herself really.

A fun before and after. We rescued little Mochi in spring 2021, and his adopters sent some pictures of no longer little Mochi (now called Nacho) today.

I need everyone to see the angry eyebrows on this kitten I'm fostering. I think they'll fade over time, the fire is thinner where her whiskers are growing in, but it's the funniest thing.
