Charlie came to us severely malnourished and heartbroken. We believe someone dumped him and he didn't know how to survive outdoors. He came in weighing merely 6 pounds (he should be closer to 12-14 for his size), covered in mats, could barely walk and his eyes were infected. He has gotten so much love, been to the vet twice now, gained weight and is up to 8 pounds, his eyes are clear and full of hope, he's walking, beginning to play and his fur is starting to grow in healthier. He seems to be an older kitty, even though his teeth would say otherwise, and his thyroid wasn't working like it should, so he will be on medicine for that the remainder of his life. He will have his bloodwork rechecked on March 9th in hopes that his kidneys and thyroid are functioning better now. He is such a happy, loving big guy though! I can only imagine what he's been through, but that makes us love him harder 🩷

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.

Patrick has been doing absolutely wonderful! He received his second antibiotic injection yesterday, and we are so happy to share that his abscesses are healing beautifully. What started as a very painful, scary situation is turning into a true success story, and watching his body recover has been incredibly rewarding.

Even better than his physical healing has been his emotional one. Patrick is a total lover. He seeks affection, soaks up every bit of attention, and has shown us just how gentle and grateful he is despite everything he’s been through. He is also quite the little character and has a wonderful personality.

For now, Patrick does need to remain in his own space until 3/11. He is scheduled to be neutered on 3/9, and more importantly, he is currently being treated for tapeworms. Keeping him separate ensures the treatment has fully worked and that he can safely join the rest of the kitty community once he’s cleared.

Patrick is being such a champ through it all, and we couldn’t be prouder of him.
