For the first eight years of her life, Nessy lived in a hoarder home where she was surrounded by far too many cats and very little safety. Instead of companionship, she endured constant stress, bullying, and repeated attacks from other cats. Living in a state of fear became her normal, and over time, that fear shaped who she had to be in order to survive.

When Nessy came into our care, her physical health was thankfully stable. But emotionally, the damage ran deep. Years of trauma left her with intense anxiety and an inability to feel safe around other cats or in new environments.

A loving foster home opened their heart and home to her and truly tried everything—quiet spaces, patience, routine, and gentle care. Sadly, despite their best efforts, Nessy was unable to settle or feel secure. This was not a setback or a failure, but a reflection of just how deeply her past experiences affected her.

Because of this, Nessy will be returning to our care on 2/10, where we can slow things down and meet her exactly where she is. Nessy needs time, consistency, and a carefully controlled environment to begin learning that she is finally safe.

Nessy is not broken. She is not difficult. She is a cat who spent her entire life in survival mode and is now being asked to learn peace for the first time.

Her journey will take patience, understanding, and compassion—but she is worth every single step. We are committed to giving Nessy the time and support she needs to heal, at her pace, for as long as it takes.

Kristi came to us in heartbreaking condition. She was tiny, weak, and clearly had been through far more than any kitty ever should. Her eyes were badly infected, her body was worn down, and from the moment she arrived it was obvious she needed immediate love, medical care, and patience.

Fast forward to now, and while she still has a long road ahead, she has made progress. Her eyes are looking better than they were when she arrived, but they are not healing the way they should be. There is concern that she may have an abscess forming under her right eye that may need to be opened and treated. On top of that, Kristi is struggling with her leg and is unable to walk well, which is another big concern for us.

Because of this, Kristi will be heading back to the vet on 2/6 so we can get answers and make sure she gets exactly what she needs to heal properly.

Despite everything stacked against her, Kristi is an absolute trooper. She is the sweetest little peanut—full of love, trust, and gentle affection. She melts into pets, just wants to be close, and never complains. She is still incredibly small, weighing under 5 pounds, but her spirit is mighty.

Please keep Kristi in your thoughts as we continue fighting for her comfort, healing, and future. She is so very loved, and we will not give up on her.

As of 2/5 she is back at the vet and staying for however long it takes (minimum of 4 days) to be monitored and treated as she declined quickly here overnight.

2/27 update, she is healthy, happy and ready for her furever home! 🩷

These two siblings have been struggling through the winter and now one has a serious eye infection. We will be taking them to their new foster home tomorrow, 3/25, where they will start their recovery journey! 😍😍
