Exactly three months after being released from the veterinary hospital, this morning we had to rush Angel back to the emergency vet, where he has once again been hospitalized and placed on IV fluids. This was completely unexpected, as Angel had not been vomiting and actually maintained quite a healthy appetite. However, over the last […]
As the years go by, we’re seeing a big shift in our rescue. Many of the cats we once took in as kittens or young adults are now seniors and with that comes a whole new level of care, commitment, and cost. Older rescues need more than just love and a safe place to rest. […]
This morning, we had to rush Chloé (11) to the emergency vet after she suddenly became very unwell. She experienced severe vomiting and she had liquid diarrhea with a large amount of blood. The vets are running all kinds of lab tests. Please keep our sweet Chloé in your thoughts and prayers 🙏 as we […]
Last night we had to rush Vito (14) to the emergency vet! After he began vomiting repeatedly, we noticed he was also having trouble swallowing and was unable to eat. It escalated quickly so we rushed him to the emergency vet. At the hospital, they evaluated and stabilized him. Based on his symptoms and biochemestry […]
After 24 hours of round-the-clock intensive care — going through absolute hell as Angel’s metabolic system kept crashing and made us fear the worst — our minds simply could not accept that we might have to face the most heartbreaking decision. For five days, despite laxatives, he still could not poop… We tried everything and […]
Angel was discharged in the afternoon and is finally back home with us. To manage the severe constipation, he received two enemas. Post-enema X-rays showed that although he passed stool, not everything came out, so he will be taking a laxative for the next 3 days while we closely monitor his bowel movements at home. […]
Angel is stable tonight, but he is not out of the woods yet. He has started eating small amounts again and is drinking water, which are encouraging signs. He looks exhausted, but as soon as he sees us during visiting hours he starts purring away. New X-rays showed a large amount of dry stool stuck […]
For the past few days Angel hadn’t quite been himself, but there were no obvious signs that made us think something serious was happening. This morning everything changed. Angel woke up vomiting and then began straining to poop — large amounts of mucus mixed with blood came out, and he cried in pain. We rushed […]
After almost two months of settling in, Vinny’s long-overdue first veterinary checkup is finally here. Over the past few weeks, he has made incredible progress—learning to trust again, discovering how to play, and slowly growing more confident with each passing day. Because of this progress, we truly believe Vinny is ready for his first trip […]
Early this morning, we rushed Gigi to the emergency vet, where bloodwork showed that IMHA had eaten away at her red blood cells, depriving her vital organs of oxygen and causing a sudden deterioration. Despite the severity of her condition, Gigi fought until the very end—even the vet was amazed that she was still standing […]
After a long and exhaustive vet visit, it’s been confirmed that Cheeky has come down with Calicivirus. However, it’s still unclear whether this is the cause of her nausea and poor appetite. The vet explained that the ulcers are mainly on the outside of her mouth, and her throat is not that red or swollen, […]
Poor Vinny has endured more hardship than any animal ever should. Jackie first spotted him about two months ago, abandoned just a few blocks away from the feral colony she feeds. At first, he was terrified, hiding under parked cars, trembling at the sight of anyone. But as the days passed, he slowly allowed us […]
Cricket won’t be needing more antibiotics— his eyes have fully healed, his upper respiratory congestion is gone, and he’s even gained a little weight over the last two weeks! He’s still just a baby with a sensitive immune system, so stress affects him easily and he’s now taking a supplement to help boost his defenses. […]
Last-minute rescue! Meet Cricket — a very tiny feral tuxedo kitten, about 8 weeks old, suffering from Rhinotracheitis (FVR). His eyes were full of green discharge, and his inner eyelids were halfway closed. The infection had been worsening day by day, and untreated, it could have led to blindness or worse; FVR can even cause […]
Last Friday, on his way to church, Paul noticed a very sick cat wandering the streets all alone. She looked so weak and in such obvious pain that he couldn’t get her out of his mind. From that day on, Paul has been making the 45-minute drive each way from the sanctuary just to check […]
Our 9-year-old Mimi went to the vet today after not feeling like herself. The tests so far show some concerning results: For now, Mimi is starting on a special renal diet. Once all the tests are completed, the vet will decide on the best treatment plan and any needed medication. Mimi has always been such […]

This video, shared in loving memory of Toby, features Paul speaking about what we went through in our efforts to save his life and the importance of hospice care. Watch Video Toby’s rescue story: […]
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the sad news that early this morning, around 5:30 am, our sweet Toby crossed the Rainbow Bridge — held close and surrounded by love. Toby was rescued last Monday (08/25) and rushed to the vet clinic where he began his treatment right away. We knew […]
Toby (10) was rescued on August 25, 2025. Abandoned, rather docile but very scared and stressed, painfully thin, injured and unable to walk. We rushed him straight to the vet clinic, where he was hospitalized and received urgent care. The vet has confirmed several serious health problems: X-rays showed that Toby suffers from severe arthritis […]
On August 25th, late in the afternoon, Toby’s journey with us began in the most heartbreaking way. He was found abandoned, malnourished, and injured — unable to walk, his frail body showing the weight of years of neglect. It was clear he had been left behind at a time when he needed care the most.
