@feederofcats @drstip It's my favorite part of fostering, especially when it's a janky cat. Getting to watch them become happy, well cared for cats

saying that our cats look content and happy despite the situations they've come from, how janky they are or the fact that they're currently living in a rescue environment while waiting to be adopted... will always be my favorite compliment, it means a whole lot ❤️

@feederofcats I'm so sorry. Thank you for loving him

with an absolutely broken heart, I have to tell you all that I put sweet Bluebert to rest today. He had several serious and conflicting issues that came to light in the past few days. I would've done anything for this cat, but the kindest thing to do was to let him go.

@feederofcats Gosh, I love giant tomcat faces

when you thought you were going to die a slow painful death outside as a bad ass feral man with huge balls and a rotting mouth but a small weird girl came and called you hamsome bo bamsome and wrassled you into a carrier

Face of an old man who is currently not very grateful for his full mouth extraction and neuter but will be very soon

@feederofcats Her little peeps are precious

oh she's bonkin' around!!

@Girl_B @oldenoughtosay I guessed luffbro based on Massachusetts town names

@oldenoughtosay The James Acaster bit about tourists pronouncing it looga-barruga will never stop being funny. (And thanks to him, this American now knows it’s luffbro.)

@feederofcats I'm so glad you're able to get her the help she needs. Sweet girl deserves all the love you can heap on her

Thank you all for the well wishes for Wonton and for being patient with an update, spent a lot of time in the car today and just got home 😵‍💫 Wonton did great for her surgery, they stabilized her jaw and closed her traumatic cleft palate

@feederofcats We love a spicy wonton

Wonton is out of surgery for both front limbs 🥹 she did very well and is recovering well! I'll have more info soon, but for now enjoy these bits from her medical records

Wonton was just adopted and one day later is fighting for her life after a terrible, stupid and avoidable accident. Haley is living a rescuer’s nightmare and Wonton needs every bit of help veterinary medicine can give her. Please help if you are able.

If you can help with this gigantic vet bill, please do. Wonton wants to fight. And if she's in, I'm in. We're not ready to give up. Paypal: paypal.com/donate/?hosted… Donorbox: donorbox.org/friends-of-bea… Venmo: friendsofbear ***MAKE SURE IT'S THE CORRECT ACCOUNT, UNDER "CHARITIES"***

I have a lot of privilege, namely coming from a wealthy family. both my parents grew up very poor though & it shows in how good they are to others. today, for example, my Mom casually texted me a baby pic & I was like, whose baby is this? “oh my nail lady we paid for her IVF.”

@blythehawthorne I've never been so glad my dragon tattoo is Smaug over the Lonely Mountain

@PAcat15 @crits4cats I'm involved with a rescue local to me. This girl just reminded us so much of our boy who we lost in December that we felt like we'd be ready to adopt her. We'll likely do a bunch of fostering while we wait to really feel ready for a permanent cat again

@polinium @crits4cats Not to dissuade anyone here, but if you want to share your location, maybe someone can recommend a rescue closer to you ❤️

One of our kitties we haven’t had a chance to talk about yet is Misty! She was a friendly stray who came up to me when I was picking up other cats from one of our fosters for spay/neuter. He said she’d been hanging around for some time, so we scooped her to check for a microchip.

@crits4cats 600 miles

@polinium How far is “so far?”

@mychal3ts Thank you for sticking around. I know how insidious suicidal ideation is. I'm so glad you're still here and sharing your light with the world

@crits4cats <3 this is the hardest part of rescue. We can do everything right, but sometimes it's just not enough. Thanks for all you do for cats in your community, they're lucky to have you

Not every rescue endeavor ends in victory. Not every thread can be followed to a happy & satisfying conclusion. Thanks everyone who stopped for a minute to care today. I’m sorry we couldn’t swoop in & save the day for Layla. We did our best but had very limited avenues to pursue.

@Doctor1Hundred What. A. Cutie.

@Doctor1Hundred Oh no. He looks perfect

@LunaTheMoth This is an improbable number of crashes at this point

@oldenoughtosay @swansabout @RebeccaCNReid I needed to get some baby shirts for my cat when he was recovering from surgery and the person at the consignment shop wouldn't help me until I told her if I had a boy cat or a girl cat. I think the first thing I stammered out was that I had a black cat

This is my strongest held opinion
