Kitten Foster Mommas

Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day to these three unique gingers, all available for adoption!

Gingers are known chiefly for their calm, mellow, and very affectionate personalities, and some may even describe them as “Velcro cats.” Adding Scarlett, Fergus, or Tommy into your home will add extra love and snuggles 🥰

📣📣GIVEAWAY RAFFLE📣📣
My paralyzed foster kitty, Theo, has recently begun laser therapy at as a treatment plan for his paralysis to help relieve pain and stimulate the regeneration of injured cells in the hope it will help him walk again. As a result, Theo’s vet bills now amount to a total of $1,738.41! 😱

* Unlimited entries are accepted between August 30th and September 11th.
* The trap will be delivered to local entries in Fresno, Kings, and Tulare Counties; all others must arrange to pick it up.

All the entries will be entered into wheelofnames.com, where a winner will be chosen. The winner will be posted and notified on September 12th at 12 p.m.

Lucy and her favorite toy 😻 Although she tends to be on the initial shy side, Lucy is nothing but super sweet and loving. As a beautiful calico, it’s surprising that she has been in the rescue so long. Will you perhaps be her furrever home?

Figaro has officially been at the rescue for one year 😢 One year of getting overlooked while others get adopted.

For those who don’t remember, Figaro came to the rescue at four months old after his former owners discovered him locked outside for hours in the heat. He was then subsequently thrown out and dumped.

He is a sweet, talkative boy who enjoys playing with other cat friends and snuggling up next to you on the couch. Will you be the one to finally give this adorable boy his furrever home 🥹

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day to the cutest black cats up for adoption soon, Buzz & Woody 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

A community that helps each other creates a stronger and safer place for cats! I have temporarily taken in the first five littles from a neighboring colony to my own while assisting their colony feeder with controlling her colony through assisted TNR. So far, 15 kittens have been pulled from this colony and are on their way to various other rescues so that they may live better lives than they did outside. If we all chip in just a little to help each other, whether through fostering, assisting with TNR, donating items, or contributing whatever money we can, our community can become more resilient for our feline friends! 🐈‍⬛🐈

If you’d like to help in any way you can while we tackle this colony please head to my links below!

Fergus has the most unique and beautiful eye colors, making him extra adorable! Out of all the kittens in the house, he has the biggest personality!! Always one to follow me around the house, he loves being around people and loves playtime with the other cats and lots and lots of kisses 😘

This will forever be Lucy and Violet’s song 😽 After a long wait, these two girlies are officially up for adoption together! If you want to give these two girls a loving home, you can find my adoption form in the link in my bio!

International Cat Day celebrates all cats, even those outdoor colony cats who have been lucky enough to be cared for in a managed colony and TNR’d. As Summer starts to come to a close, I am beginning to amp up my efforts to TNR my two colonies and help out with two more. If you’d like to donate to sponsor the TNR of a colony cat, all it takes is $20! Click the link below to sponsor!

I may be biased as I run a cat rescue, but having more than one cat in your household brings so much joy! Logan and Izzie are two of my bonded pairs that must be adopted together. These two have been together since they first came into the rescue as kittens, and they are now a year old. You won’t find a better, more well-socialized adult pair of cats than these two 😻

Foster Kitten Spotlight of the Day!!
Buzz is the final kitten from the Toy Story Crew, who was rescued from our local In-in-Out Burger. Like his brothers, Buzz is sweet and enjoys laying in your arms while having his tummy rubbed 🥰 Buzz is playful and lives up to his namesake, Buzz Lightyear, by being absolutely fearless!

Buzz and his brothers will be available for adoption in September!

Kitten Foster Spotlight!!
Sweet little Woody is the smallest of his brothers, but he certainly doesn’t let his size keep him from roughhousing with his brothers! He is a little lap cat and loves to be around people already 🥰

Woody and his brothers will be up for adoption in September!

Foster spotlight of the day!
Jessie is one the three kittens rescued from our local In-n-out Burger. He is the biggest lovebug out of his brothers and loves to just sit in your lap for snuggles and cuddles 🥰

Jessie and his brothers will be available for adoption in September!

🚨Raising Funds for Theo🚨
As many know, I recently took in one of my community cats, who is currently paralyzed from a debilitating animal bite and severe nerve damage. He requires a lot of wet food to help with constipation and p*e pads and baby wipes to help express his bladder for quick clean-ups.

I am raising funds for his ongoing care and our vet bills so far. I have also made a separate wishlist for Theo to aid in his care. Taking care of a paralyzed feral is no small feat, but all cats deserve a chance 🙏

Please see the links below to my GoFundMe for Theo and his Amazon Wishlist

Her eyes may be icy blue, but her soul is warm and sweet 🥰

I have a full house here at KFM and have seven new fosters to vaccinate! I’m raising funds to help purchase a pack of vaccines to begin self-vaccinating the newest littles. Any donations can be made through my Venmo or PayPal accounts linked below 👇

Meet Scarlett!!
Hope’s sweet baby girl officially has a name! Although she is still very hesitant about people, slowly but surely, she is opening up and becoming more and more playful! Her quarantine period is officially up, so soon, I will introduce her to Fergus and Elinor. Who doesn’t love a group of kittens playing?

Figaro continues to surprise me every day because he has been in the rescue this long! One of the many comments we get at the rescue is wanting to adopt a kitten to be able to have it its whole life. We respond that even if you were to adopt a young cat such as Figaro, you would still own him for his entire life. Cats live an average of thirteen years, and Figaro, being only one, is at the prime of his life! If you’re interested in adopting Figaro or any of the young cats we have for adoption, head to the link in our bio or check us out on Petfinder!

Violet FIP observation update!
Violet is on day 36 of her observation period post-FIP meds and continues to do great! She has a great appetite and spends her days soaking up sunbeams 🌞 I do not doubt that Violet will continue to succeed and be fully adoption-ready come September!

The Toy Story Kitties are ready to celebrate the Fourth of July 🇺🇸 However you are celebrating, remember to keep your pets safe and indoors!

“I’m Abraham DeLacey
Giuseppe Casey
Thomas O’Malley
O’Malley the alley cat”

Tommy boy might not be an alley cat, but he certainly has the personality of one of the most beloved Disney cats!

I can’t believe how big Fergus and Elinor have gotten!! In just a few short weeks, these babies have turned into cats! One of the joys of fostering orphaned bottle babies is seeing them blossom and develop their instinctive cat behaviors. They’re just as fun as they are cute 😻

Sometimes, we all need to take a break and rest 😌 All cats deserve to be as peaceful and rested as Lucy lounging by the window. 😌

If you haven’t already, I am still asking for donations to help with the treatment of Theo, my community cat, after he suffered an animal attack and was left in paresis. No donation is too small! 🙏

On Tuesday, while feeding one of my colonies, I noticed one of the cats appeared to be injured, wobbly on his back legs and dragging them behind at times. As a rescue team, we deal with sick and injured cats almost daily, and I knew I couldn’t leave this community cat behind. I jumped into action, trapped him, and immediately called upon the Kirkland Foundation for help determining his injury and treating him.

For those that don’t already know, the Kirkland Foundation does fantastic work in the valley, providing reasonable and low-cost spay/neuter and medical services to those in need. I am raising funds for the treatment of my colony cat, Theo. He had puncture wounds from an animal and an infection at the base of his tail. While being treated with antibiotics, he got neutered and received a rabies shot. Please consider helping me pay for his treatment through the amazing Kirkland Foundation! I am raising funds for his treatment. The total is $285, but feel free to donate more to this beautiful organization. Be sure to make note the donation is for Theo! Thank you!!

Logan and Izzie are the two best friends you will ever meet! When you think of your ideal, perfect cat, Logan and Izzie are just that. These two are going to be hard to let go when they get adopted, as they’ve been with me for over a year now! But I know the purrfect family is out there waiting to adopt them!
