If you love the Cats of Yore account and would like to show appreciation I don't have a Ko-fi or Patreon or merch or anything else but I would LOVE it if you would consider a donation to my winter fundraiser for tiny shelter pals! 🥰 givebutter.com/n5l31M

Right now, you can make 3x the impact on our work to save cats' lives! That's 3x the support for critical emergency surgery for cats like Tallulah to give them the new starts they deserve--and much more.

Make a 3x-matched #GivingTuesday gift now thru December 2: secure.alleycat.org/page/90314/d...

Thank you for helping us help the disabled, different, and 'difficult' kitties of Nottingham and beyond, often when no one else would. Seeing the difference in a kitty who thought there was no hope ...

#Caturday is a great day to get involved in your local community! 😻 So many adoptable pets need you right now… as a foster, a donor, a volunteer, and/or as a forever family.

Please follow all and help boost the amazing work being done by these terrific orgs!

A little loaf and drumsticks in honor of Thanksgiving 🦃

So grateful for YOU and our online community’s joyful love of cats! 🫶🏽

A tiny brown tabby kitten lays in a modified loaf position with his front paws tucked neatly at his chest. But his back leg is awkwardly extended forward so it looks like a little drumstick. So silly! Photo owned by CatCareNetwork

"Prison isn't supposed to be about love, but that's what Fluffy brought to our concrete world. She became our shared daughter ... Fluffy grew fat and sassy on our love and contraband feasts. The most beautiful sound in here became her purr, deep and rumbling like a tiny motor."

May all the kitties have something to be thankful for tomorrow.
A kind hand, a warm bed, a full belly, most of all someone's love.

Eenie here has the best thankful face 🧡

Meet five-month-old Javi! This little guy will start purring as soon as he sees you, even if you’re not petting him. He’ll just sit beside you politely and purr loudly while he waits for love.

Learn more about him at https://ow.ly/tYSX50XxQQC and meet him at ARL Animal Services!

As temperatures drop, our phone lines light up with community members worried about stray and community cats. While it is wonderful that people care, rescues & shelters everywhere are at capacity. However, there are simple ways you can help outdoor cats stay safe and warm this winter.

HUGE THANKS to so many friends of cats! Blew past my goal in less than 12 hours… ya’ll are just too kind! 🥹🫶

I just ordered the cages (plus bonus hammock!), thanks to YOU promoting, sharing, and donating $5-$200 at a time via Donorbox, Chewy, and Venmo 💪

1/🧵
Screenshot of a Chewy.com receipt showing order total $396.31. I got a discount so added an extra hammock to the order! Screenshot of the Chewy receipt, continued, showing purchase of 2 heavy duty cages. This will be so helpful! My heart is full and thankful!
