The same figure but instead of black, it is bright blue, glowing in the dark.

A fellow cat rescuer spotted a homeless group kindly sharing their lunch with a starving, matted senior cat under a highway. Now named Expresso, this 12+ year-old deaf dynamo is thriving despite kidney disease and past injuries. She’s in our Special Adoption Program—fee waived, care covered.

We held a Kitty Customizer Contest over on our Discord earlier this month and we saw some purrfectly a-meow-zing results!! We loved seeing the side by side comparisons of people's beloved kitties, both current and past. Here are some to start with! ❤️😻

Archie, formerly Jorts Junior/JJ, was totally shut down and untrusting of humans after being surrendered at 4 months old. Look at this amazing, sweet and loving boy now!!

🚨folks…Archie just jumped up and made himself comfortable in my arms for the very first time. I’m crying, and obviously screaming internally. I have been waiting for this moment 😭💗🥹 @crits4cats.bsky.social

We also took in this very friendly stray, a fluffy young calico who showed up so thin and hungry at Sunflower colony. No chip, but thankfully it doesn’t look like she’s ever had kittens. She’s so totally sweet. We didn’t really have room but with the impending nor’easter, we didn’t want her outside.

We just had a 10 year old tortie reclaimed who came in yesterday, microchipped. She went missing when her owner moved 3-4 years ago. ❤️

Microchip your pets! And just bc a pet is left behind when a neighbor moves, it doesn't mean they were purposely abandoned.

Found out a few days ago, this little one actually wound up being adopted by his foster family. ❤️ He's even made friends with their dog, it's legitimately so sweet. 🙂

Gryph @lfgryph.com · Aug 15

Special little boy who got his feeding tube out today! (It's out of place in this pic.) He had an unfortunate run in with a dog, but is going to a foster home soon where he'll hopefully recover well. He's a little purr and biscuit machine, who this morning tried to get up on my shoulder for hugs. ❤️

Solid black kitten around 4m old. He is sitting up straight in his shelter kennel, looking at me with big eyes and his head tilted. He has a bandage around his neck, and a red tube that he's actually pulled somewhat out of place of where it should be. There is a soft red ball next to his feet, and some smeared canned food on his nose.

Can you tell which one I made at the cat convention, and which one @porkbuns.bsky.social did?

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑

A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.

Coal thinks the noise from me brushing my teeth is UNDIGNIFIED. 😾

practically heard him clearing his throat behind me to let me know he was there and monitoring my activities.

Coal, a black cat, stands on his back feet on a light wood floor. he has his front paws, with claws out, on a white doorframe, and is looking around the doorframe at his mom in the bathroom with a slight look of reproach.

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here.
