If another kitten arrives, I’ll name them Perry. 😊

A color photograph of two kittens wrapped in gray and purple fleece blankets. With the way they are positioned, it almost looks like they’re stacked on top of each other. Just their heads to stick out from the blankets. The kitten on top, Phineas, is regular orange and white, the kitten on the bottom, Ferb, is buff and white. They may be actual brothers, they may be step brothers, but they love each other just the same.

Say hello to Phineas and Ferb! They’re about 6 weeks old. They’re very cute, medium floofy, and super orange (despite Ferb being buff).

Color photograph of a big cheeked black and brown tabby cat who has a very serious expression on his face. He is sitting on a green and blue quilt and gazing into the soul of the photographer behind the camera.

Fish! I thought about you the other day. There was a cousin of yours at our shelter and I thought about naming him after you, but they named him Mr. Darcy instead. He got adopted today!

This is why microchips are amazing and keeping the information up to date is so very important! Last summer, my shelter had a similar story, cat missing for 10 years reunited due to a microchip. Spay/neuter and microchip your furry friends!!! 😻

A color photograph of a silver tabby tuxedo cat sitting on a light blue towel. He has bands of fur on both of his front legs shaved as a result of his recent operation, which gives him the appearance of having furry leg warmers. He has a partly pink nose with a crooked black heart on it. He has a very serious expression on his face as he gazes deeply into the camera.

Amazing! 😻 Tiptoe sends love to his fellow 3 leggy brother. He is a shelter kitty who is also a recent amputee (left hind leg).

Dougie! I’m always so happy to see you relacksded! Also, a kitty friend at the shelter where I volunteer had a hurt leg, so he’s a much happier 3 leggy boy now. Pretty soon he’ll be ready to find his forever home. I’m hoping he’ll get a mum as great as yours!

Morning everyone. I’m still in need of help to pay for Scotts surgery. I am so thankful for all the help I’ve received so far. ❀️
Surgery is this Friday.

Jack and Annie’s surgeries went well. Annie’s Pectus Excavatum is mild and won’t necessarily require medical intervention, just ongoing monitoring. Here they are playing in their kennel just before Jack went to his forever home.

A color photograph of a sleep rumpled woman reclining on a bed with two gray tabby kittens sleeping on her chest. The kitten directly under her chin, Annie, is a lighter gray than the kitten at the bottom of the picture, Jack, whose tabby stripes are more subtle and only visible at some angles. They are very snoozy and cozy.

These two little graybies are headed in for their spay/neuter surgeries today. Paws in for Annie while they determine if she has Pectus Excavatum (or another condition) and if she needs additional medical intervention. 🐾😻

Back when I was still on the bad place, I had maxed out my muted words and phrases, and had blocked almost 2000 accounts, it was really helpful for my mental health. On here, I have muted a few things, but the block lists have really helped.

More TNR today. I caught 2, but one had been tipped/fixed on a previous visit to this location. A resident at this complex caught a notoriously wiley mamma cat for us. Don’t worry, her kittens are 4 months old…and pretty wiley themselves. πŸ€ͺ A couple of others were caught too. Success!

Do you know someone (perhaps an older person?) who would love a senior cat who needs to be an only pet in a home? This isn't my shelter, but a neighboring rescue. Tiny is a 13-year-old Ragdoll. I believe her owner died. She needs to be your one and only. Hermiston, Oregon #cats

A color photograph of a brown and black tabby cat who is curled up on a fleece blanket. His poor mouth is a little wonky, but he is adorable nonetheless.

This is Skate. He’s an injured kitty that came into the shelter. His profile picture was atrocious, so I took a cuter one.
