~ George & Cheddar ~
Sweet seniors George & Cheddar came back to our rescue on June 10th, 2023. We pulled them from our county’s animal control facility (high-kill) on their “last day” in late 2020 where they were surrendered after their person moved to an assisted living facility. They were fostered for several months in a wonderful home & then adopted out in Aug. of 2021. Cheddar (orange w/ white) was recently diagnosed with diabetes & due to a life change event & extensive travel for work their adoptive mom was not able provide the daily care he needs, so she contacted us & as is stated in our adoption contract, we took him & George back. They are now lifetime fosters with us & have settled in great & it’s as if they’ve always been with us! ~ {Sadly we had to help George over the Rainbow Bridge just two weeks after he arrived due to several medical issues he had been suffering from}
Kiki & a feline friend were living on the streets of Charlotte, NC & being fed daily by a kind lady who noticed that both appeared to need medical attention. She caught both & posted a plea for help with costs in a FB group. We saw the post & monitored it to see if anyone offered help, but after a day or two the post never received any offers, so we were able to offer to cover the costs for them to see a vet & receive care. Kiki’s needs were pretty simple, just some bloodwork, combo test (negative), shots, a look in her mouth (she only had 2 teeth left) & a bath. She also seemed to have a skin irritation, so was also started on steroids which have helped. Unfortunately, her friend had more pressing issues & ultimately we helped end his suffering. Kiki is settling in well & she loves pets, treats & catnip toys & is safe for the remainder of her life as a lifetime foster! Many thanks to her wonderful sponsor mom who helps support & spoil Kiki!
Mickey is a black/gray tabby & was born in April 2017 to a stray kitty who arrived already pregnant. He (as well as his brothers) lives in a safe outdoor enclosure with access to a small temperature controlled house. He has adjusted well, has blossomed into a sweet lap cat, & is living his best life, thanks to his amazing sponsor Stacy Borans & all of our wonderful supporters!
Dobby is mostly white with random tabby patches & an all tabby tail. He was born in April 2017 to a stray kitty who arrived already pregnant. He (as well as his brothers) lives in a safe outdoor enclosure with access to a small temperature controlled house. He has adjusted well, has blossomed into a sweet lap cat, & is living his best life, thanks to his amazing sponsor Lisa Durant & all of our wonderful supporters!
McKenzie is a beautiful shade of gray (some might say “blue”). He was born in April 2017 to a stray kitty who arrived already pregnant. He (as well as his brothers) lives in a safe outdoor enclosure with access to a small temperature controlled house. He has adjusted well, has blossomed into a sweet lap cat, & is living his best life, thanks to his amazing sponsor Melba Tarlton & all of our wonderful supporters!
We first saw Jonah (gray/white) in late 2017 when he followed another stray kitty we were already caring for into our yard. He must have realized that he, too, would be taken care of because he kept coming back & it wasn’t long before he eventually became a regular.
Of the many strays we’d seen in, or pass through, our yard up until spring of 2019, we hadn’t ever seen any orange cats. Then out of nowhere, as I arrived home from work one afternoon I noticed a cat face peeking out from under our shed in the back yard. Enter Frankie (orange)! I took some treats down to him to see if he was friendly & could tell he was young, but he was understandably skittish. Over time he warmed up & he, too, decided to stick around.
It took a couple of months of adjusting to each other, but these two became inseparable as they continued to live on the property. Sadly, two other stray cats we had been caring for had disappeared, so it was decided that we needed to do something to keep these boys more safe. Our 2 existing enclosures we already occupied, so we decided to go ahead & build a 3rd enclosure & thankfully our wonderful supporters contributed greatly to help us accomplish this! Both boys are lifetime residents & continue to live their best lives as bff’s thanks to our supporters & their awesome sponsors LuLu & Stella Voorhees (sponsor Frankie) & The Candy-Corn Kittens (sponsor Jonah)!
Sally was living in a colony in the Charlotte, NC area & the caregiver of that colony noticed Sally limping one day. It took a bit to trap her, but she was finally caught in late 2016 & taken to a vet where it was determined that she needed to have her back right leg amputated. She lived in a foster home for a little over 7 years, & then came to live with us as a lifetime foster on Jan. 20th, 2024. She is a sweet, playful girl who loves to be petted. She has warmed up nicely so far & continues to settle in.
