We’ve been so busy between the rescue, TNR, and the holidays that we almost forgot to share our most recent week of TNR. We set another high record and TNR’d 18 cats in just one week! We also rescued two kittens along the way.

One of the locations we did TNR at (trap, neuter, return) was a new colony in dire need of help. They had reached out to every organization in our area unsuccessfully trying to get help. Luckily, we were able to get all 15 cats at their location TNR’d and they are so relieved! We will also be making contact with a few of their nearest neighbors who also care for some colony cats to make sure all the cats in this neighborhood are totally spayed and neutered so no more kittens are born outdoors to continue the cycle!

Early on in the week one of our foster kittens Wolvie came along for the TNR adventure because he needed to go from his foster’s house to the director’s house so she could take him to surgery to remove his blind bulging eye. He got to see the TNR location he was rescued from months ago and we think it’s safe to say he likes being with us much more. 🥰

It’s #blackfriday and we don’t haveany holidays deal, we do have some AMAZING black panthers up for adoption this holiday season!

In order: Boris, Clank & Jojo are all looking for their forever homes right now! Boris and Jojo must be adopted into a home with another cat, and Clank must be adopted with her brother, Ratchet (not pictures).

Our adoption application is linked in our bio!

(And Little Danger bringing up the rear. He’s still too small and not ready for adoption).

Clank (tuxie) & Ratchet (tabby) are a brother-sister duo up for adoption!

This bonded pair will bring a lot of purrs, love and chaos into their new home.

If you’re looking to grow your family, look no further than handsome boy Ratchet and floofy Clank (seriously, look at the poof on that girl)! ...

What do we mean when we say “full circle TNR?”

✨Kittens don’t just magically appear. Where there is one kitten there is usually a colony of cats. If we were to only take in the kittens and we didn’t take any more action, in just 4 months, another litter of kittens would likely be born in that exact same location. Then we’d be right back to where we started.

♻️🐱Full circle TNR (trap, neuter, return) means we focus on returning to the colonies where our kittens were found to prevent future kittens from being born and suffering while also managing the health and population of the current colony of cats. TNR is truly a win-win!

rescue kittens ➡️ find colony & TNR ➡️ no more kitten suffering & lower the population of cats outdoors 🎉

Ezra & Kanan are two sweet & silly bonded sisters that have been in our care since June. They are still on the search for their home together!

Here’s a little kitten glow up for this rainy Thursday evening! When Storm & Wolvie were rescued they were in terrible shape. They had upper respiratory infections, ringworm, coccidia, giardia, and worms. They have been the best little troopers with getting multiple medications everyday to get them healthy.

Storm does have permanent damage to her eyes that has left her partially blind. Wolvie also has damage and blindness in his left eye. Despite this, they are just a typical pair of active kittens! They are both extremely sweet and loving and they are on the search for their forever home!

This week, while returning four freshly TNRed ferals to their colony, we happened upon a litter of sick kittens.

These guys were making their way to the road and were in danger of being hit. It is likely their mom was one of our TNRed cats, and they came out of hiding to try and find her or find food.

Thankfully they are all eating wet and dry food on their own, so mama was able to be released back to her colony and these guys are safe in one of our foster homes.

As always, than you for your support. Without donations we would not be able to take on emergency cases, like these guys.

If you are able, please consider becoming a monthly donor by heading to our website (and while you’re there, check out our brand new design). Thank you, and happy Sunday. ...

✨Swipe to see the transformation on these hissy kittens.

🐱These kittens were rescued during a TNR mission when they were about 10 weeks old. While this is still an age where they can be tamed, it is nearing the end of what we call the window of socialization. It is much harder to gain the trust of a kitten that has lived without human interaction for over 2 months than it is to win over a kitten that is just 4 weeks or even 8 weeks old.

🙈These babies were terrified at first and wanted nothing to do with us. After two weeks filled with lots of patience, love, and treats, we finally won them over.

😻Now Ratchet (the tabby) and Clank (the tuxedo) are ready to start the search for their forever home. These babies have purr motors that never seem to stop and they love getting pets. Ratchet loves to flop over on his side when he is getting scratches and Clank has a bit of a jealous side and never lets Ratchet get all the love.

✨Adoption Alert✨

Last week we said goodbye to three of our kitties!

😻 Link & Kirby were found very sick and barely alive. After some quick TLC, they began to recover.

Well now the boys get to spend forever together in their new home with their other feline and dog companions!

😻 Beans was found at a local colony after being attacked by something. Thankfully she was uninjured, but we quickly noticed her eyes were worse for wear (swipe to the end to see). But after some medical intervention, her eyes healed and she was adopted into a home with another feline friend that she will get to spend forever with!

💜Happy loves little ones💜

🌟We set a TNR record for ourselves this week! We TNR’d a total of TWENTY cats and rescued 4 kittens along the way.

🐈We caught 14 cats at a new colony that really needed our help. Now these cats have all been spayed/neutered, ear-tipped, vaccinated, and returned to their caretaker who loves them very much. The caretaker told us the colony started with just one cat and quickly got out of control, a story we hear all the time. Cats reproduce quickly, which is why it is extremely important to spay/neuter them!

🎉The other six cats that we TNR’d were at a colony that we have been working on since the beginning of the year. This colony is officially finished now! All the cats that live there are spayed & neutered, which means the cycle of overpopulation & kitten deaths have ended!

👀We are still looking for more people to join our TNR team or help with the transport of the cats. If you are interested, please let us know or fill out our volunteer form!

Meet our little detectives: Inspector Clouseau, Magnum PI and Mrs. Marple!

The little investigators were found with their sibling covered in maggot. While their sibling didn’t survive, these three have thrived and are ready to find their forever homes!

Their foster tells us these three are incredibly affectionate and absolutely adore human companionship.

If you’ve been looking for one (or two) cuddle buddies, these guys might just be perfect for your family!

✨Please give a warm welcome to the 7 newest kittens of Miss Dixie’s ✨

Every single one of these babies were rescued from colonies in Pickens and Anderson county.

And every single one has either an upper respiratory infection, ringworm, intestinal parasites, fleas or all the above!

We will be working to get all these guys healthy & adopted, and to get every single adult in their colonies spayed/neutered and vaccinated to prevent future kittens from this suffering.

If you would like to make a donation to their care, do so on this post or using the link in our bio. 💜

Tuesday night our TNR team headed up to Easley/Pickens.

We have a few colonies up there that we have been working to get all the cats fully vetted. This means every cat is trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear tipped and returned to their colony where they can live out theirs lives without contributing to the population.

However, while we were there, we came upon 4 kittens that needed rescuing.

Two were older and a little hissy, but would be excellent candidates for our foster program. There they can be tamed and taught how to accept human affection, and will eventually be adopted out.

The other two are bottle babies whose mother no long had any interest in feeding them. Initially there were four kittens in the litter, but without proper nutrition, they did not survive.

Normally we advocate for keeping mom and babies together. However, in this specific case, their mother was not interested in her motherly duties.

So we trapped her (picture one), and she was spayed and released back to her home where she will never have to be a mother again. And her babies were taken to one of our experienced bottle feeders where they are getting treated for an upper respiratory infection.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers and fosters! Without you all, we wouldn’t be able to help these guys. And thank you to our donors. Without your support, we would have no means to vet our colony kitties and get immediate treatment for our foster kittens.
