Is it obvious that it’s kitten season? Because we have FOUR more adorable kittens ready for their foster-to-adopt homes — Eeny, Meenie, Miney, and Moe! Each have their own personality. Moe and Meenie are the laid-back cuddlebugs of the group. They’ll happily climb into your lap and soak up all the love. Eenie and Miney are the busy bodies, always on the move and ready for their next adventure. They’ll all play together, but when you sit down, Moe and Meenie are usually the first to demand cuddles while the other two are still zooming around. They are litter trained and don’t seem to mind their fosters dogs at all.Whether you’re looking for one kitten or thinking about adopting a pair, the link to apply is in the comments below. ...

Yesterday while many of you were celebrating Fathers Day, we were trying to keep our heads above water. In fact, went under a couple of times. The pressure of keeping this 5 day old puppy alive, warm and fed is very stressful. She’s doing great so far but we aren’t naive enough to think that couldn’t change in a hot second. Feeding every 2-3 hours around the clock is a major undertaking. This little girl has a whole team of people working to keep her alive. Yesterday morning we awoke to a happy playful kitten that within hours was having neurological issues and dying. An immediate trip to MedVet to eliminate her suffering was how one foster started her day.Another foster coaxed a very pregnant stray into her home so that she could have a spay/abort. They had planned to integrate her into their home after the surgery. This morning she tested positive for feline leukemia. Another heart breaking euthanasia. All of these things could have been prevented by spay/neuter and vaccines. Things responsible pet owners provide. Things we require from potential adopters. A hill we will die on. Please keep all these folks that are fostering in your thoughts. They have some bruised hearts. We appreciate you and all do for our organization. Thank you for helping us to fight the good fight. ... See MoreSee Less

💔 Sometimes rescue is filled with absolute heartbreak. Yesterday was one of those days. This little one is the sole survivor of a litter of 6. Her mama had an unplanned pregnancy and tragically passed away due to complications. Besides a difficult delivery, mama was Heartworm and Lyme positive. Despite every obstacle stacked against her, this precious puppy has fought to survive when her siblings did not make it. We are optimistic, but also realistic. This tiny girl is only a little over 60 hours old, she is fragile and not out of the woods by a long shot.We are looking for an experienced bottle feeder that can commit the next 3-4 weeks to her until she can sustain herself on solid food. While we assume that her siblings passed from lack of nutrition and temperature regulation, we can’t be certain. Athena needs to be considered a quarantine situation. We are determined to give this little girl the best shot. If you’d like to help support her care, donations, shares, and prayers are always appreciated. Together, we can make sure this little miracle has the future she deserves.This is why we will always require fosters and adopters that spay/neuter, vaccinations that are given by a veterinarian, and the use of regular preventatives. Athena and all the animals in our care are counting on us to choose responsible pet owners. The link to the foster agreement is in the comments below. ... See MoreSee Less
