Spring has Sprung!

Well, it sure has been a BUSY last week and weekend with cats 🐾—injuries, pregnancies… and SO many kittens!

Lois spent countless hours searching endlessly for kittens. We are always so grateful for her expertise in trapping—she is truly amazing!

And a huge thank you to Pitty Love Rescue and Tara for all your help and support—we couldn’t do this without you!

Now for an interesting (and additionally exhausting!) story…

Last week, neighbors reached out about an outdoor-friendly cat named Piper. We were sure she was pregnant and thought we had about 1–2 weeks before she would give birth…

Well… of course we did, right?

WRONG!

We quickly got a foster set up (thank you SO much to Erin Gwara and her wonderful family), and returned the next day to bring Piper in—but she was NOWHERE to be found. This was completely unusual, according to her very watchful neighbors.

Fast forward to Saturday—we FOUND her! We brought her to Erin and her excited family.

Then Sunday… plot twist!

An expert vet tech, Natalie (thank you!! 🙏), let us know that Piper was NOT pregnant… she had actually given birth very recently—like within the last day or so.

Cue the urgency!!

We quickly brought Piper back to her neighborhood and (after a very serious conversation with her about NEEDING her to show us where her babies were), we let her go…

And within MINUTES…

We heard the sweetest sound—tiny crying kittens!

She had her babies safely tucked away under a concrete staircase with an opening about the size of a small plate

With the help of the amazing homeowner, we were able to break a basement window and carefully scoop out all FOUR kittens into a carrier

Piper didn’t hesitate—she quickly followed and joined her babies

Everyone is now safe, healthy, and together

And us?

We are EXHAUSTED!!!

But oh… so incredibly grateful and rewarded

Also since March….38 kittens helped…..also special thanks to Gail Marie Koch and Larry and everyone that helps us keep our little rescue operational!!!
