Here's an enraging story I wrote about today: A lady currently incarcerated in Texas has been taking care of a stray cat. It got sick. Her daughter started a fundraiser to pay for the vet. The prison now has put her in solitary confinement. thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/15/p...
After a Prison Cat Fundraiser Went Viral, Texas Officials Put His Caretaker in Solitary Confinement
“She was crying when she called me,” her daughter told The Barbed Wire. “This is not a place my medically challenged mother should be.”

As the year comes to a close, we need your help.
Many of the cats who arrive at Shadow Cats require hands-on medical care, daily monitoring, and long-term support.
Your end-of-year gift helps make this care possible, not just to survive, but to live with comfort and dignity.

As we approach our 30th year, we’re reflecting on what your support has made possible, from TNR and community cat care to giving special-needs cats the forever homes they deserve.
We invite you to read our holiday letter and celebrate a year of second chances with us 💚

Caring for community cats is something I’ve been doing for over a year. For a long time, I paid out of pocket to keep the cats in my neighborhood fed while helping TNR more than 20 cats.

Kibble’s one of our funniest, sweetest cats—but also one of the most medically fragile. After a tough year of surgeries, he needs another to help him live comfortably. 💚

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Tiny is 7 weeks old, FeLV/FIV negative, and full of love 💕 He was likely abandoned, but now he’s ready to bond with his forever family. Could that be you? 🐾
Please reach out to me if you or someone you know is ready to welcome this little guy into your home.
