Let’s meet Felix. Felix was at the vet today for euthanasia because he wasn’t using the litterbox consistently. He had a full vet screening ruling out health reasons, & he reportedly was doing well on Prozac, but his owner didn’t want to keep up w/his script. Our vet reached out to us to save him.

This little baby is with @rocketcatrescue.bsky.social and is in the same serious situation as little Zack was. She needs to see an ER vet immediately, and Rocket Cat could use donations to make sure they can cover every avenue of care for her possible. Please consider helping them try to save her.
Got an emergency call from my old boss back at Milo’s Sanctuary about a kitten with dwarfism that was suffering from severe constipation and was declining. I picked her up and I’ll be taking her down to Michele in a few days so for now- trying to make a kitten poop.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Because of his FeLV status, Midnight needs to either be the only cat in the home or live only with other FeLV+ cats. Because of his compromised immunity, he will need to be indoor only from now on. Cats like Midnight can still live amazing, healthy lives even with this disease.

Midnight’s finders were able to get him back into the vet & had his injured leg treated (an abscessed, infected cat bite from fighting other toms). He unfortunately is positive for both FIV & FeLV, a sad result of being left unfixed & living outside. He needs a special home to either foster/adopt—
Cat in Temple Hills MD/Eastern DC area needs rescue placement ASAP.
Midnight was a cat who lived at the same complex as Ellie. The people who were feeding him moved away recently & left him behind. He turned up thin & injured. Ellie’s adopters took him in & got him med attention but he can’t stay—
