My foster kitty donation wishlist for May! It’s really all food this time. Adoptions are warming up so hopefully I’ll have some of the older kiddos in new homes so I can take babies again soon. Miss Maddie Pryor (the tortie) has an application pending so🤞! Thanks so much to everyone who’s donated food and supplies!
We had another kitten dropped off at the adoption event today -- preplanned this time, not a surprise emergency like the last one. They were a spicy purrito, so I spent some time loving on them. Such a chore, let me tell you.
Dutch was an abandoned cat who started hanging out on a neighbor's porch during the summer of 2019. He had extensive hair loss on his neck, so a Metro Cat Rescue volunteer brought him inside. Thankfully -- as the patches didn't glow under a black light -- the condition wasn't ringworm. Dutch was treated for fleas and mites.
During October of 2020, Dutch had blood in his urine. The vet determined through a number of tests that the condition was a urinary infection, not a blockage. After many days of medication, Dutch recovered from that, but still was very weak. It took a long time for him to regain health completely.
I’ve just spotted the black and white cat who normally sneaks onto my balcony at 3am! I set the trap for #TNR but accidentally left the scissors out which reveal that I cut the tie that holds the trap open. WILL HE CLUE IN?
Also strong possibility that Casper appears instead and walks right inside 🤦🏼♀️
OK, he's on the scene... and he's gone for the dry food which is in the container to the right. I perhaps should have taken that away, or made it mainly empty, but I was moving fast... I'm hoping he smells the wet food in the trap and decides he's hungry enough to go for it...
#NorahNeko was a horrified witness! But she was also pretty horrified when his boy caterwauled in the early hours. I'm always anxious when stray cats start making a lot of noise, as I worry someone less fond of wild floofs than me will take action. However, once this kit is neutered, he should calm and feel a lot less like fighting.
4am and we have not resigned ourselves to our fate 🤦🏼♀️ After investigating multiple crashes around the bathroom, I put him in a large cat carrier. I thought the smaller space might help him settle, but I think it largely just made the indignation more muffled and me slightly more confident that he wasn’t hurting himself!
Had to get up early this morning to vaccinate 16 kittens for the rescue before work, please tell the people in your life to have their cats spayed or neutered. 😭 #CatRescue#FosterKittens
Charlie was born outside 3 years ago. One day he disappeared. A Metro Cat Rescue volunteer searched and found him—very sick. Charlie would have died, but he got to the vet just in time.
Charlie sleeps in my bed. During the night, he often wakes up and hugs me. I think Charlie has nightmares of when he was cold and sick outside.
Metro Cat Rescue continues to care for Charlie and many others saved from the streets.
>📣📣 Do you know anyone in Southern California who owns or works at places like:
🍷wineries
🐐barns
🐎stables
🍺breweries
🚜ranches?
…or even enclosed backyards?<<
Two dedicated cat rescuers from Southern California are working on trapping and rehoming cats from an industrial location,
to become Working Cats or Barn Cats.
These handsome former foster boys are back with me on what their person hopes is a temporary basis while he sorts out some Landlord Bullshit and they are still the Very Good Boys I remember. #FosterKittens#CatRescue#CatsOfMastodon
Jemma was at the vet early Friday morning for a dental procedure. An infected tooth must be very painful and is endangering her overall health. The total cost came to around $2000.

A Metro Cat Rescue volunteer saved Jemma in 2016. A mom living outside, she had given birth in a car about to be towed to the junkyard. Metro Cat Rescue took in the whole little family and continues to care for them.
