Trash2Treasured Animal Rescue Inc.

Behind the foster scenes ….
PHEW .. listen … we have been busy on the cat side of the rescue ….

Let’s break it down …

Picture 1- TUCKER was adopted and tucked into his new home recently. He is living his best life telling all his fur brothers and sisters what to do! Super spoiled and very loved ! That’s what we love to see 🫶🏻

Picture 2- Fred and George our twins that were connected by umbilical cords to one placenta have been doing home visits with their future k9 siblings . Slow introductions are best for homes where dogs have not lived with cats. You don’t want curiosity to lead to overzealousness where someone gets hurt. Small sessions of exposure over time takes out all the surprise and things are going VERY well. They are set to go home next month ✌🏽

Picture 3- Sigh lol We welcomed bob tailed Finn to the crew. My son likes to walk when it’s not too hot and he called me with loud meowing in the back ground to tell me a kitten was following him home ! 🫠🫠🫠🫠 Flea bath first and off to vet he went for shots when we discovered he was not microchipped. He will be scooting his little nub north next week on the bus.

Picture 4- Elvira and Monroe are both still here .. very much still bonded and very much still doing most things together. It’s been beautiful watching their bond blossom and her especially coming out of her hermit phase.

Picture 5- Ginger Snaps got SPAYED through our local TNR program with Troup County Animal Coalition, one of our local partners. She has taken the FLUFF them kittens oath of having no more litters. Be sure to tell her that her tipped ear is GORGEOUS! Lol but I was finally able to touch her and pet her while she was recovering for the first time in three months . 🥰 She’s very special to us. 😍 We have a soft spot for the untamed.

And last but not least picture 6… Mr Dorian Gray .. the last kitten of the Ginger Snap crew that needs to be placed … He’s a bit of a Momma’s boy hiding behind Ginger Snaps behind quite a bit lol but he has had to grow up since they have been separated while she recovers from spay. He’s been advancing well with kitten play and I know he will find the perfect home eventually.

We couldn’t do this without support from our village ! Thank you for all that you do!

Please see ways to donate below to support our cat fosters …

Litter, gloves, squeeze treats ( for Ginger Snaps in recovery), and wet food would be GREATLY appreciated.

Behind the foster scenes .
Phew the last 48 hours have been a whirlwind for the cat side of our lovely little rescue 🙌🏼… but here’s the back story ..
For the last two months I have been monitoring the stray cat population in my direct neighborhood… gauging a game plan on how to TNR… a ginger female showed up VERY pregnant but so skittish she kept jetting off .. I sat in my car watching the foot traffic on my porch and after seeing her goat belly decided it was time to dust off my trapping skills again ..
We just DIDN’T have anymore time to spare .. I baited my trap .. asked for some divine providence ..
and boom .. trapped her first night .. stashed her at my besties next door … Next day of course all the vets closed early but managed to find one for shots in AL .. my cousin trucked us out there since my car is heading to the shop . All adult fosters coming in MUST have rabies shots before entering my house bc of the multiple cases lately here in Georgia. My son prepped the cubby and we moved our other foster down a cubby … after shots Ginger Snaps came back and yelled at me from the corner .. I started the decompression phase … back scratcher for pets .. grabber for squeeze treats .. I got a look at her lady bits and knew we didn’t have long …
THE NEXT DAY … I checked on her after work and there were two kittens … then three … she is for sure a first time mom … I geared up .. birthing gear .. head lamp ... welding gloves... paper towels ... latex gloves ... Lysol wipes ... back scratcher .... "grabber " to ease snacks to her in between births ... not my first rodeo with a feral mom can you tell lol
A fourth kitten … then as I checked I saw placenta .. and a fifth baby born sleeping 😢 and finally by almost two AM the final sixth baby was also born sleeping ..
while losing two is very heartbreaking 💔 it is to be expected in a brand new confused mom of her size .. and her station as a community cat … reality is many of these babies probably wouldn’t have made it this far or out there lived to four weeks old …
Ginger Snaps slept in the box overnight then she and her newborns (two and a surprise set of twins still connected to one placenta) were moved into the freshly laundered welping bed this morning .. while Doula Miki worked a shift at her virtual regular job running on espresso and hopes and dreams lol
Momma and babies are resting and well .. and Ginger Snaps didn’t even hiss at me when I checked on them after work …
The food she’s eating .. came from our donors ..
The wipes, gloves and paper towels used to clean up also from our donors …
AND the squeeze treats ALSO from all of you !

Sit back and take in that YOUR donations helped Ginger Snaps 100 percent with this delivery of her kittens ..

Thank you so much for all you do !!!
