My 11 rescued munchkins from the kitten mill. The second part about the oldest cat with a tumor. Yesterday we received the cytology results - it is an osteochondroma. On Sunday she is having surgery (if it's not lung-digit syndrome). Cross your fingers 🤞🏻

From dumped on the highway to happy days

I think he should have been born orange bc hes a bit dumb but we love him dearly

Found this little guy in the woods 6 years ago and that’s him now

Moe's Story. One of our  Foster Carers set out to rescue 5 male calves from a dairy. Moe, the smallest, began to deteriorate. After hospitalisation at the vet, Moe was diagnosed with Ileus, Cryptoridium and Pneumonia. All can be fatal for calves. Just look at the  little champ now! 


Our new pup Walter 😍

My grandma (Rose) adopted these two lovely ladies three weeks ago. Blanche (pink collar) & Dorothy are senior pug mixes rescued from Anita’s Stevens Swan Humane Society in Utica, NY. Last photo was taken their first day home.

The Golden Girls!

Simon 🤍 when he was rescued from commercial breeding, when the rescue had to get him shaved due to all the matting, and now 5 months later. Such a resilient little guy!

<div class="md"><p>Now he’s my best friend🥰</p>
</div>

Wasn’t sure if he was going to make it, I’m so glad we kept the faith🤍

727 and 728 tails have been adopted yesterday. Both were left at the door of the vet clinic (25 days ago and 2 days ago). Now they finally found a forever home ❤️🤞🏻

The first picture is their out of the shelter rescue, not the bad place.

Rescued from a bad place. Now tearing up my living room and no guilt whatsoever.

726 cat has been adopted. Amur was asked to be euthanized two months ago (he has epilepsy). We found a proper therapy for him and today he has been adopted 🙏🏻❤️

His name is Winston and he was found covered in fleas and ticks by the highway. Now he is happy and healthy in his home ❤️

Our little guy found in the road

My first born lol. Someone left him on my doorstep. He was so small he didn’t even have ears yet! I never took care of a kitten but my local animal shelter gave me the supplies and I fostered him and then adopted. A year later I needed up fostering 9 more bottle fed kitties and adopted 2 more (the grey kitten and Siamese:) his name is cheesy boy.

My first baby (newborn to 2 1/2 years)

Wren is a papillon that was seized from an animal hoarder. Other than the rainbow tail the physical changes are subtle, but I hope you can tell he is a much happier and healthier boy!

Part 2 of my recent rescue of 11 munchkins from the kitten mill. The oldest male cat. I think that he was the main tom cat. He is still very aggressive to any cat even after spaying.

I picked her up while I was living overseas for a few years. She was one of many street cats living in my neighbourhood in Romania. I had the goal of adopting one of them but I didn't know which. Took me until October that she would come close and let me finally pet her, as she was super skittish. I adopted her in November and she came back to Canada with me in the spring. Now she is a super friendly, cuddly girl who will be spoiled every day!

The very first photo I took of Peachie one year ago today, vs living her pampered life now 

My Willow now compared to when we found her

How my rescue longhair’s coat has changed with proper nutrition & a loving home 

Winnie came to us a year ago. She was less than a lb, Had ringworm, and diarrhea for at least 6 months. I spent weeks sleeping on the couch with her, terrified she was going to die in the night. She’s still itty bitty and still has the CH wobble, but she’s the most magnificent and cuddly cat I’ve ever met. She cannot pass a person place or thing without rubbing her whole body across it. She’s happy to be alive and we’re so happy she’s alive ❤️🐈

It’s been a year!

Street dog scrubs up

On June 26th I rescued 11 munchkin cats from a kitten mill. This is the oldest cat mom. I think that today was her first time in the sun outside.

Someone in r/cats showed me this page and I thought I’d share my sweet girl, Beezle.

She lost 30lbs (14kg)

My sweet Penny.  🌈 She had to take a trip across that Rainbow Bridge 

We adopted our sweet marshmallow about a year ago. The first photo is the picture they used on his adoption flier. 

The day we picked him up he was covered in fleas, matted to the skin, had cuts behind his ears, infections in both ears, his neutering incision was infected, he has severe allergies so his skin was raw and red and he was terrified. He was a rescued Amish puppy mill farm puppy. 

The second photo was a couple months ago. Today he is on daily allergy medication, he eats a special diet and he has undergone positive reinforcement training to help him with his anxiety. 

It took weeks to teach him that grooming tools were not going to hurt him and we were not going to take his blanket and toys. He adores his big sister and is really a sweet boy.

A totally different dog. 

Greetings from Lucky ❤️ We rescued him this March and found a new family really quickly. But we thought that he would be a medium sized dog. We were mistaken 😅

I saw a Nextdoor post where this big fella was having trouble finding a home. 
It was not due to behavior but rather his Healthcare.  It's the best, most beautiful thing having him.

"Jimmy" came pre-bundled with arthritis, a bad back, a bad shoulder, abuse scars [we believe he was a dog other dogs trained on 😔 in one of those shitty backyard dog-fight things] and finally a tumor on his bottom lip that covered his whole bottom row.  In addition, the kennel system was giving him pain management meds (gabapentin and vetprofen) and so amid the litany of health issues, he would require a prescription for a constant supply of these meds.  It was no wonder he was passed from home to home to home after he maxed out his stay at the pound--having him comes w a certain financial responsibility requiring adequate resources one may or may not have access to.  We were, like, his 6th host, I think.   

He's been with us for over a couple years now.  We've addressed a few issues as follows:

1. The tumor on his lip was removed and tested, showing zero signs of malignancy.  Awesome.

2. The pound aged him at 7 but the vet thinks it's closer to 9.  Probably fudged the numbers, did the adoption system, for an easier sale (I can only speculate).  He got a full blood panel and kidney valuation reflecting good general health.  Great!

3.  For the pain, monthly injections of "Librela" are given to him by the vet.  An  interesting detail here is that it is brand new and the only treatment using a NGFmAb (monoclonal antibody) therapeutic focusing on the nerves and arthritis.  


These days, his pill-pop is 1/2 of what we used to give him (the hope is to take him all the way off meds vis à vis Librela) and he flys and spins and carries about care-free like a good and happy ol' boy should.  My Weevenson xoxo

I've been an owner of many pets before but Steve is my very 1st BIG dog.  Dude, he's huge.  Semiotics were a part of my studies at SFSU and the psychology of going to a movie considers the impact of media messaging and imagery and their effect when casted onto very large theater screens.  The sheer size of it all directly affects it's interpretation. I can imagine a similar effect is happening with great, big old, half-lab/pit Stevie as I have never adored any kind of pet as he.  He goes on car rides, shakes hands, knows how to ask for things w body language, loves his tickle spots pet and is a generally friendly and loving dog.  

Lol he's bitten my wife, my niece, my friend, my cousin, my aunt's partner and probably someone I'm forgetting [edit: in my proofread, I remembered I was his 1st victim: I was petting his neck w my feet from behind and he bit my big toe knuckle.  Ouch.]. Each and EVERY instance was when he was pet sleeping w his back turned toward the person.   All warning shots.  Dude has a George Washington-thick, cow neck--he coulda ate your hand if he wanted to.   Delicious.  

I pre-greive knowing I'm gonna outlive his time on earth.  Beyond our general effort, there's nothing to do about that as these are just facts of life and death.  All I can do is give him an awesome comfortable and loving life that he and all my babies (Roo and Huxley) deserve.

Lucky to have him.   Thanks for reading, if you did.

Finally, a "Furever" Home for Stevie

AGAIN my mom who "did not want pets" decided to help a kitten to take to the humane society. But the orange boy she took in 6 months ago made him his little bro...now she has 2
