I say this with love, compassion, and honesty: I am CLOSED for intakes. If you are on my wait list, I have made a commitment to you and the animals, so I will 100% honor that. But the reality is that I am only one person, I have extremely limited resources, I have many cats relying on me, I need to reserve some of my strength to continue to care for my current rescues, and I am struggling. I looked around the lounge today at all of my amazing, perfectly adoptable cats, and faced the reality that there just aren't enough good adopters to maintain my current intake. I have taken in over 100 cats this year so far, and I do this by myself. I have to make sure I am doing everything I can to give them the love and care they deserve, so I cannot take on any more kitties. Adoptions have been slower, donations have been down, lounge visits are waayyyy down. I just don't have the financial means, the time, or the space to take any more cats in. I will continue to offer guidance and support to those that call me asking for help. But others need to step up. If you are able to donate food, litter, or money, that is wonderful. If you can foster or hold a cat for a week or more, that is also incredibly helpful. If you are willing to learn how to use a trap, I will gladly teach you and guide you. I'm always here for support, to answer questions, to give guidance, ALWAYS. But I am getting calls every day from people who find cats and are not willing to do anything, they simply want me to come "rescue". I have no magical powers, I do not have endless amounts of money, space, or time. I knew NOTHING about rescue when I started on this journey: if I can learn, then anyone can. You don't have to do what I do, but you can do something. If you don't have the financial means (most of us don't these days), call your local government officials, tell them about what you are seeing. Complain that your city shelter (HARP) offers zero support, and that is what your tax dollars are paying for. That costs you nothing. But it HELPS. We all need to do our part. There is no city funding for small rescues 🫤
Thank you for your support and love 🫶
