Some cats ask for attention. Silky expects it. 👑🖤

Miss Silky has spent all three years perfecting the art of being fabulous. She’s the kind of girl who can walk into a room, settle into a comfy spot, and somehow become the center of attention without making a sound.

She’s a quieter lady, usually choosing a soft little peep over a full meow, and she prefers a peaceful lifestyle filled with admiration, relaxation, and being told how beautiful she is. Silky would be happiest as your one and only feline royalty, but she can tolerate other cats as long as they remember whose kingdom they’re living in.

If you’re looking for a cat who is equal parts sweet, independent, and absolutely convinced she’s a princess, Silky might just be your perfect match.

And honestly? We think she’s right about the princess part. ✨🐾🖤

If those massive, “pleeease give me a treat” eyes don’t cure your Tuesday blues, we don’t know what will!

While we are busy working behind the scenes on our reopening, this little tuxedo charmer wanted to pop in to say hi. Nebbiolo also wanted to remind everyone that adopting is a truly wonderful way to help make space for the endless wave of kitties waiting for their second chance. Currently, we have a growing waitlist for new intakes adoptions and the only way we are able to help those kitties who are waiting. Nebbiolo is still busy getting big and strong and isn’t quite ready for a home of his own yet, but we have plenty of other amazing cats and kittens who are ready to find their humans!

Of course, we know not everyone can open their home to a new pet right now. If you can’t adopt, donating and volunteering are absolutely vital to helping us achieve our mission and making a life-changing impact on rescues just like Nebbiolo. It takes a whole village to keep these sweet souls happy and healthy, and we’d love to have you on our team. If you’re ready to make a difference, just head to the link in our bio to sign up to volunteer! We can’t wait to see you all soon. 🐾✨

Clementine is ready to charm her way right into your heart 🧡

Did you know that only about 20% of orange tabby cats are female? That makes this lovely girl a certified rare gem! At just around a year old, she is the perfect blend of youthful curiosity and gentle sweetness. She has a wonderfully mellow nature, but don’t let her calm demeanor fool you—give her the right toy or a fun playmate, and her playful side shines right through. She also gets along wonderfully with other kitties, making her a great addition to a multi-cat household.

We are so excited to share that we are still slated to reopen this weekend and can’t wait to see everyone from 10 AM to 3 PM on both Saturday and Sunday!

Clementine is officially searching for her forever family, and you can come meet her during our reopening hours. If you are looking for a sweet, balanced, and uniquely beautiful feline friend to complete your home, Clementine is waiting for you. 🐾

Well, bless your sweet, precious little hearts, I am right up here directin’ traffic and remindin’ every last soul that we want everything lookin’ prettier than a peach before we welcome our favorite folks back through the door! I’ve been pacin’ the floorboards, just chirpin’ up a storm and doin’ my absolute level best to supervise this whole shebang. I’m tellin’ the crew that even though our little updates went a wee bit over schedule, this here supervisor wants to make sure every single little detail is lookin’ finer than split-silk!

Now, because things are runnin’ just a hair behind, we are gonna have to keep our doors shut until next weekend, June 20th. I know, I know—now hold your horses, darlings! Don’t you go throwin’ a fit, because I miss you all somethin’ fierce too, more than a turnip green loves vinegar, and that is a whole mess of love!

Thank you so much for bearin’ with us and for always bein’ as sweet as a glass of ice-cold sweet tea on a hot July afternoon. Sending you the biggest supervisor-approved purrs, and we will see you next weekend!

With all my love and a big ol’ squeeze,
💕Ellie Mae 💕

📡 MONDAY UPDATE: SPECIAL REPORT 📡

Radar here, breaking back into your feed because my super-ears picked up a rumor that you wanted to hear from me again.

It’s Monday afternoon now, which means I’ve spent the last few hours alternating between perfecting my afternoon nap and keeping my satellite dishes pointed toward the front door. Every time a car pulls up, my ears do a little 360-degree rotation because I think, “Is that them? Is that the person who’s finally going to pickup my sonar for yummy treats?” But then I heard the news: no one can actually come visit me right now because the shelter is getting some interior updates!

Personally, I think I am the only view this place needs, but I guess a little glow-up doesn’t hurt. I’m just using the quiet time to practice my best “pick me” head tilts and fine-tune my ears for incoming digital applications.

📡 Transmission officially ending now. Catch you on the flip side. 🐾❤️

Cocoa Update 🌺

Because of your kindness, we are officially over halfway to our medical goal for sweet Cocoa! Most importantly, Coco herself is doing amazing. She is responding so well to her medication and getting stronger every day.

To everyone who donated, shared, and sent good vibes: thank you. You made this recovery possible. We are in the final stretch now to fully cover her unexpected veterinary and isolation costs. Even $5 or $10 helps us hit that $1,000 finish line so we can keep saving lives just like hers.

We couldn’t do what we do without your support and see grateful for the community that has come together to help Cocoa’s recovery. ❤️

When a family found this sweet Siamese kitten abandoned outside a cemetery, she was in critical condition - her tiny body was shaking with non-stop, continuous seizures.

While our intake room was completely packed, we knew we had to help. We lost count of how many times she seized in the first few minutes that we met her. We knew that diagnosing and treating the cause of these seizures wouldn’t be cheap, but we also knew we were her only hope.

The diagnosis: Toxoplasmosis. It is a severe, highly contagious infection that attacks the nervous system and can be deadly if not treated immediately. For us, this meant intense medications, strict medical isolation protocols, and protective gear to prevent the virus from spreading to any staff or other animals in our facility. The vet told us the first few days would determine if she even had a fighting chance.

But sweet Cocoa chose to fight. 🥹✨

She has been on her medications for a little over a week now, and her seizures have completely stopped! For the first time, her true kitten personality is shining. She is comfortable, she is playing, and she is talking up a storm!

The Reality Behind the Miracle:
Outcomes like Cocoa’s are the pure joy of rescue, but they put a massive strain on our medical funds. While we are a completely donation-run nonprofit, we do not get veterinary care for free, nor do we receive massive discounts. With rising costs across the board, it only takes one unexpected medical crisis to heavily impact our ability to help the next cat who walks through our doors.

Every single donation, adoption, and volunteer hour directly funds these life-saving moments. If you can spare a few dollars to help us cover Cocoa’s ongoing treatment and vet bills to reach our $1,000 goal, please click the link below.

Thank you for being the village that saves lives like Cocoa’s! ❤️👇

🎉 HAPPY FRIDAY! Looking for weekend plans? 🐾
We have the perfect idea: come fall in love!

Remember the two sweeties we told you about last week? Linny (our handsome black-and-white boy) and Syra (our beautiful tabby girl) are officially settled in and ready to find their forever humans!

These two are a strictly bonded package deal, and they are hosting open adoption hours TOMORROW! 💖

📍 Drop By and Say Hi!
🏠 Location: White Oak Village Petsmart at 4531 S Laburnum Ave
⏰ When: Tomorrow (Saturday) from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Can’t make it during those hours? No problem! Message us directly to schedule a private meet-and-greet!

As an extra awesome bonus, our amazing friends at Li.Feline Resource and Rescue will be there with their wonderful kitties too! It’s going to be a full house of love, purrs, and second chances.

Linny and Syra had their whole world turned upside down recently, but they are proving to be so resilient. While they might start off a little shy when you first meet them, they have so much love to give. They are just waiting for that special someone to walk through the door, look into those big, beautiful eyes, and say, “You’re coming home with me.”

Could that be you? Or maybe a friend of yours?
Come out tomorrow, see all the beautiful cats available, and help us give Linny and Syra the ultimate weekend update, a family of their very own!

🚀 Can’t adopt but want to help? Give this post a SHARE! Let’s use that Friday algorithm magic to find these kitties their perfect match!

We are still in need of laundry sanitizer! But first, a huge, purr-filled THANK YOU to everyone who completely filled our shelves with detergent! 🐾💖

Meet Sparrow and her little family, who are absolute professionals at making their fair share of messes. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are officially all set on soap for a very long time, and those clean blankets are already being put to excellent use!

While our detergent needs are fully met, we are still running quite low on laundry sanitizer (like Lysol Laundry Sanitizer). Keeping a facility full of tiny, vulnerable immune systems means we have to stay extra vigilant against germs, and sanitizer is that final, crucial step to make sure everything is truly sterile for families like this one.

If you have any extra sanitizer at home, see any on sale, or want to drop a bottle off, it would mean the world to us. Thank you all for always answering the call and helping us keep these sweet babies clean, healthy, and safe!

Well butter my biscuits, y’all made it to Wednesday! 💕

That’s right, sugar—we’re halfway through the week. If you’ve been holdin’ on by a thread, runnin’ on coffee, or countin’ down the hours ‘til the weekend, I’m here to tell ya to keep on keepin’ on.

Now, me? I’ve spent my day supervisin’, askin’ for pets, chirpin’ at folks who walk by, and remindin’ everyone that a little affection can fix just about anything.

So take a note from a Southern lady like myself: stretch those legs, hold that tail high, and don’t let the rest of the week boss you around.

Now go get ‘em today, sugar! And hey, if your lookin’ for a reason to smile, I happen to be acceptin’ applications for my forever cuddle buddy. 💗

XOXO,
Ellie Mae

Our mission as a no-kill rescue is to protect every cat in our care but we can’t fight shelter overcrowding alone. As you can see from the statistics below, spaying and neutering is the single most effective way to stop the cycle of euthanasia across the US at overcrowded shelters.

That is why we strictly ensure every cat we adopt out is altered. If you or someone you know needs assistance to fix a personal pet or an outdoor colony, message us! We have a list of local low-cost and no-cost options to help you find assistance.
