~ 6/13/18 ~ An award presented by my employer for my work with Paws4Life, Inc. What an honor to be recognized! This is for all the kitties and everyone who has supported us and our mission!!
Please visit our Facebook page and Like us so you can stay up to date on all of the kitties.
~ We've been holding onto some exciting news but are now ready to share! One of our longtime supporters, Stefanie Comerford, has opened up her home to take in Holly as a lifetime foster & her new journey begins today ~ Welcome, sweet Holly, to the P4L family!! 🎉
For those who don't know her story: She was a kitten living in a yard with other stray cats & in late 2024 a concerned feeder saw she was doing poorly & had begun declining rapidly, so she reached out on social media for help. A "group" of us came together to help miss Holly, as she was very sick (only 3 lbs at 6 months old & had begun dragging her hind legs), our part being that we offered to cover her immediate medical costs. Another person in the group had a foster lined up & others helped with transport and/or sharing the plea for help on other social media pages.
Holly had some initial vet visits & close daily monitoring & care but wasn't really improving, so it was decided to treat her for FIP. This medication is expensive but life-saving & thanks to her foster mom who helped her through the daily dosing, & our wonderful supporters here, Holly was able to have that treatment. She completed it in mid 2025, & today she continues to do well (she is a "FIP survivor")! Since being rescued, she's also had a few ear infections & had to have a polyp removed from one of them & all seems to be good there for now as well (though she may have more ear issues pop up throughout her life).
We look forward to this new beginning for Holly & Stefanie, & to be able to share their journey. And of course will share updates as Holly settles in over the coming days 🐾🩷
~ {We're also happy to say that Holly is sponsored by Lisa Williams} ~
~ Monster wants to know if you've purchased a 2026 calendar yet!? If not, we have 3 of ours on hand & will sell each for $10 + $8 shipping (original price was $18 + shipping). Please comment below if interested, first come, first served 🐾

~ It's not for lack of trying that Dottie hasn't found her forever home yet 🐾 We believe because she's a special girl, there's a very special home for her & it just hasn't come along yet.
Dottie is 7+ years, fully vetted, & what makes her special is her little periodic head wobble & sometimes head tilt. This is due to having been diagnosed with Bilateral Vestibular Disease, for which she has been treated & is doing well. With proper introductions, Dottie seems to get along ok with other non-dominant cats, or if you work from home we bet Dottie wouldn't mind being your constant companion.
Located in the Charlotte, NC area, please reach out to us if interested ~ {video courtesy of her rescuer/foster mom} ~
~ Some highlights from 2025 that we were able to do because of your support ❣️
~ Held our spring auction
~ Built another addition onto the enclosure
~ Made modifications to one of the existing enclosures
~ Held our late summer auction
~ Helped cover medical expenses for 4 community cats
~ Covered major medical expenses for Holly (FIP treatment & ongoing ear issues) & Dottie (neuro issues; MRI) ~ Both girls are currently in foster homes
~ And in between everything, we covered spay/neuter surgery costs for 38 community cats (which includes Annie who is now in a foster home & Grumpy Pants (FIV+) who lives in one of the enclosures)
Without all of our faithful followers & generous supporters, we wouldn't have been able to do any of this, so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us help them 🙏🐾
~ Someone's got his freedom back 🇺🇲🐾
~ {If we had unlimited space he'd stay, but we just don’t} ~
~ Little Miss Annie seems to be adjusting pretty well since being inside. No real surprise since she has a wonderful foster mom helping her along 🐾🩷
~ UPDATE: Timmy is back home & will no doubt sleep good tonight. Thank you for all the thoughts & prayers ❣️
We were able to get Timmy a neuter appt sooner than we had originally scheduled, so he's going in later today to have that done ✂️🏐🏐 Please send good thoughts 🙏🐾😻

~ Annie has been such a good patient since her spay this past Wed. She's rested well in the crate & has been eating great & her surgery site looks nice & clean & healthy. And we have some exciting news to share....Aunt Shelly (Monster's sponsor mom) has offered to take Annie in as a trial foster to see how she does living indoors! Let's all cross our fingers & paws that maybe Annie's "outdoor" days are behind her 🐾🤞
~ Is it "winter weight" or could it be that he now has not one, but TWO homes that feed him!? ⚖️🐾
