#MutualAidPackage has arrived, another new radiator for the house! We've got slightly warmer weather the next few days, but after that it's going single digits for about a week with some snow in the middle, so this is very timely. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Another #MutualAidPackage, a new litter box for the cats! We've bought a couple of these already ourselves, and for being inexpensive they work great. Just a couple more and we'll have enough for all our cats!

THANK YOU!!!
A two-piece snap-together litter box. The bottom half is a grey pan while the top half is a beige wall to keep litter from flying out. A dip in the wall grants access, and the back corners have slots in them to hold a poop scooper. Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat is on the back of the small couch, looking down into the litter box and checking it for traps.

Huuuuuuuge #MutualAidPackage today! HOLY CRAP, THANK YOU! First package that came in today was a big ol' bag of cat food, while the second batch was a combination of a bunch of stuff for the animals and a bunch of food for us humans! Full list is in the alt text! So very appreciated!
The first package sitting on our front porch. Mister Seamus the Orange and White Stray Tomcat is rubbing up against one edge of it while MJ the Cowboy Corgi is trying to figure out a way past it to get to the front door and go inside. She ended up jumping over it. The contents of that first package, a 22 pound bag of Friskies Seafood Sensations dry cat food sitting on our small couch. The second group of packages, two medium sized boxes, stacked one on top of the other on our front porch. Miss Bitsy the Grey Calico Stray Cat is sitting on top of them with her head turned back over her shoulder. One of our new strays, Pajamas the Stripey Tabby Kitten, is loafed up nearby, aloofly ignoring our presence. My booted feet are slightly in frame, oops. The contents of the two other packages, all lined up on the small couch. Those contents roughly from left to right are: Temptations dry cat treats. Chicken-flavored lickable dog treats. A huge bag of Canine Carry-Outs bacon dog treats. A metal food bowl for MJ. Temptations lickable cat treats. Two bottles of tapeworm dewormer pills for the cats. A box of individually packed Meow Mix wet cat food. A small bag of Meow Mix chicken flavored dry cat food. Three cans of Chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs. Two cans of Swanson chicken breast and rib meat. A thundershirt for Toffee. A bag of Malt-O-Meal raisin bran cereal. A vacuum sealed pack of Cafe Bustelo ground coffee. A vacuum sealed pack of Cafe La Llave ground coffee.

Third day of getting a #MutualAidPackage in a row! Small one but a good one, chicken flavored lickable treats for the dogs! We've had plenty of 'em for the cats, which the dogs have been plenty happy to steal licks from, but it's nice to have some specifically for them now. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The contents of our latest mutual aid package laid out on my side of the bed while Toffee the Chihuahua watches me take the picture. 22 pound bag of Friskies Seafood Sensations dry cat food. Large bag of Canine Carry-Outs bacon flavored dog treats. A spray bottle of Burt's Bees anti-itch spray for pets. A box of like a hundred little catnip mouse cat toys. Five cans of Campbell's Chunky soup in Chili Mac, Chicken Pot Pie, and Pot Roast flavors. A three pack of Swanson canned chicken breast and rib meat. Two vacuum sealed packs of Cafe La Llave ground coffee.

A winterization #MutualAidPackage has come in! A pack of rubber safety treads for our front porch ramp, and a new oil radiator! THANK YOU!

Ran out of screws before I could finish setting up the tread, and we'll need a few more packs of the treads too, but both are on our needs lists (hint hint).
A pack of 12 Rubber Safety Step Treads. Nine of the treads screwed down onto the wooden front porch ramp. An Amazon Basics oil radiator still sitting in the delivery box. Two of our cats are curiously inspecting some of the packing materials I've pulled out. The new oil radiator out of the package and fully put together. Tiny Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat is sitting next to it, tail curled around her feet, despite the fact that the radiator isn't plugged in yet.

Huzzah, the second insulated cat shelter #MutualAidPackage has arrived! THANK YOU!!! Putting this one together was a breeze since I knew what I was doing this time. With these two pre-fab shelters and the makeshift shelter out there, our straybies should be well prepared for the snow hitting us!
The ramp leading up to the front porch of our house. It is covered with a very light dusting of snow, the first of what's to come. Up on the porch itself there is a big cardboard box, the not-yet-constructed cat shelter sitting within. On the left side of the ramp, Miss Fluff the Fluffy Orange Stray Cat is laying balanced on part of the ramp's railing. The shelter out of the box but not yet put together. The various parts are leaned up against our kitchen counter. The new shelter now fully constructed. Its asphalt-covered roof is held up on a folding arm attached to the main body of the shelter so that the inside can be seen. A grey fleece pet blanket with a pattern of paws and bones on it (yet another mutual aid gift) covers the floor of the shelter. Our front porch, covered in a light dusting of snow. It is a square wooden porch with a metal canopy, though every part of it has definitely seen better days. The insulated cat shelters (grey siding with white trim and asphalt-covered roofs) are sitting in opposite corners of the porch while the makeshift shelter (a coffee table wrapped in a canvas tarp) sits next to one of them. Miss Fluff, Miss Callie, Mister Pinkie, Mister Seamus, Miss Bitsy, and Mister Dagger are sitting around, wondering what the silly human is doing taking pictures in this weather.

#MutualAidPackage today! Got hoodie (and an extremely rare selfie of me, trying it on), dry cat food, knee braces for my partner, three pet blankets, and a new set of pet stairs for Toffee the Chihuahua! THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH! As always, this is incredibly appreciated!
The contents of our latest mutual aid package laid out on the small couch. An XL black hoodie spread out on the back of the couch with the arms wrapped around the other items to look like it's holding them. A 2 pack of elastic knee braces. A 3 pack of grey fleece pet blankets with cyan and beige paw print and bone patterns on them. A 6.5 pound bag of Meow Mix Original Choice dry cat food. A set of foam pet stairs wrapped tightly in a cylinder, with instructions that say just free it from the cylinder and let it expand for 48 hours. Neat! A selfie of me wearing my new black hoodie. I'm a middle-aged dude-lookin' trans lady with shoulder length brown hair and glasses. The stray cats' grey and white insulated shelter on the front porch. The roof is opened up so that the new grey pet blanket can be seen spread across the floor for extra kitty comfort and warmth. The new foam pet stairs released from their cylinder and set next to the old cardboard and carpet stairs. Just a few minutes of expansion and the new set is already just as tall as the old and will hopefully end up even taller. They're also longer with deeper steps, which is just what we wanted since Toffee already had a lot of trouble getting up the old steps and has been having even more as she's gotten older.

Got too busy so wasn't able to post about this earlier, but we got another #MutualAidPackage today! Some wet food for the cats which they will absolutely love, and a new kind of coffee that my partner is excited to try out.

THANK YOU!
A 12 pack box of Meow Mix seafood flavored wet food and two vacuum sealed bricks of Cafe La Llave ground coffee.

Oh! Huh! I know I put a setting on my Amazon lists so folks could send stuff other than what's on the lists, I didn't know that might include $50 gift cards, but I guess it does!

Anyway, this will cover the late fee on this month's rent. THANK YOU!

An Amazon Prime bubblewrap envelope sitting in my left hand while Bonny the Tabby Mama Cat watches me curiously in the background. Not pictured is the confused look on my face as, according to the count on our Amazon needs lists, we'd already received all the mutual aid packages that had been sent up to this point. The envelope now sits in the background, where Bonny sniffs at it to make sure it's not food. Meanwhile, I'm now holding the contents, a $50 Visa gift card!

Small but still super important #MutualAidPackage just came in, some ground coffee! My partner runs on caffeine, and since we're a single-income household it is absolutely critical we keep her functional.

A thank you from me, and a big ol' THANK YOU VERY MUCH from her! This is a lifesaver!
My left hand holding up an Amazon pouch package. The package is now open and sitting in the background, and the contents are now in my hand. It's a 6 ounce vacuum sealed pack of Cafe Bustelo espresso ground coffee!

Big #MutualAidPackage for the stray cats today, an insulated cat shelter! And well in time before the real cold and snow hits, thank goodness. Will probably put a fleece blanket inside it for bedding, but overall it seems like it'll keep the kitties safe and warm this winter!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
A package leaning up against the front door frame of the house. Several of the strays are there to check the package out and/or try to sneak inside. In the background on the porch is the strays' makeshift shelter, a canvas tarp wrapped around a coffee table. Decent enough but not terribly well insulated or very sturdy. The various panels and other parts of the shelter, taken out of the box and leaned up against our kitchen counter. The instruction manual has been propped up between two of the panels. A front shot of the shelter, fully constructed. It is grey wood with white trim and a black asphalt roof. The doorway has strips of plastic hanging down to keep the wind out and a small asphalt canopy to provide further weather protection for cats going in or out. Tiny Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat is sniffing around the side of the shelter, specifically where (not visible from this angle) the emergency escape hatch is located. If a cat gets stuck behind a bunch of other cats in the shelter, the hatch gives them an extra exit to get out. Top view of the shelter. The roof has been lifted up on its hinges, providing easy access to the shelter's interior. An attached metal arm holds the roof up while Tina takes a peek down at the inside. The interior is bare, just gray wooden walls and floor, but those walls have insulated cores to make sure the kitties inside will stay toasty during the winter.

THANK YOU!
Contents of the latest package stacked up on our small couch. 6 pack of vienna sausages. 2 cans of yellow cling sliced peaches. 4 pack of Celsius mango peach green tea energy drinks. Two 12 pack boxes of salted caramel protein bars.

Another #MutualAidPackage! More cat food, which is always an excellent donation since we feed 6 inside cats + 9 outside cats so this stuff goes fast fast fast. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
A humble Amazon delivery box, set up on one side at the foot of our front porch ramp. No stray kitties in sight this time, unfortunately. Maybe next package! A 22 pound bag of Original Choice Meow Mix dry cat food sitting on our small couch. No inside kitties in this picture, mostly because they preferred to go after the box that the food came in.

A late night delivery! This #MutualAidPackage is the very first to come from our food list. A whooooooole buncha cereal bars and a jar of Duke's mayo! As the gift message that came with it says, "The heart wants what the heart wants and what the heart wants is some good fuckin' mayo"!

THANK YOU!
Five boxes of Amazon Grocery Apple Cinnamon Cereal Bars, each one an 8-pack, and a big ol' jar of Duke's mayonnaise.

Another #MutualAidPackage, a bag of cat food! And it's the gravy kind, them kitties gonna get spoilt.

A big ol' THANK YOU as always! Cat food is one of the more important kinds of donations we get. With six of our own cats and a small colony of strays that we care for, it goes fast.
A package sitting at the foot of our front porch ramp. Seamus the Orange and White Stray Tomcat is walking up to check it out. A bag of Purina Friskies Gravy Swirl'd dry cat food sitting on our small couch.

New #MutualAidPackage! Today we have dry food for the dogs (just in time, we were almost out) and a fun little bag of toys for the cats (which is already being put to good use). THANK YOU!!!
The new package out on our front porch. Mr. Pinky and Mr. Seamus the stray cats have taken up position on top of and next to the box respectively. Four small bags of Purina Beneful Beef Incredibites dry dog food wrapped up in clear plastic and a Just For Cats Toy Variety pack full of catnip mice, fluff balls, and jingly balls. Tiny Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat has already claimed her favorite kind of toy, one of the fluff balls, and is standing next to some empty boxes in this picture, the fluff held firmly in her mouth. Boos the Chonky Black Cat and Loki the Tiny Black Cat playing with a couple of toys on the small couch. Boos has an orange catnip fish, which cannot be seen because he's shoved it under a throw pillow. Loki has a green catnip mouse, which he is trying to catch as it falls off the couch's edge.

Another absolutely wild #MutualAidPackage came in today, a dishwasher! THANK YOU!!! Cannot stress how much this means to us, especially at the moment with my hand in a cast. Took a bit to set up because of that, but now as soon as we get some proper detergent for it, it's ready for the first load!
The dishwasher packaged and sitting on our front porch. Mr. Pinky the stray cat is helpfully laying on top of the box. The washer out of the package and sitting on the kitchen sink counter. Its tubes are sitting on top, not yet attached. The washer fully set up, the tubes attached to it and the kitchen faucet. The washer's door is open and the dish rack extended, ready to go.

Just received a new #MutualAidPackage! THANK YOU! Our crack team of expert sniffer cats have checked the package over and have declared all items within good to go.

Getting basic necessities like this helps us stay stocked and use more of our own money to pay rent and bills!

The contents of the mutual aid package we received, arranged on our small couch. Tiny Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat is checking them out to make sure everything is in order. 4 pack of Puffs with Lotion. 6 pack of Amazon Basics Toilet Paper. 3 pack of Amazon Basics Flushable Wipes. Bottle of Amazon Basics Antibacterial Hand Soap.
