From Balcony Box to Forever Home 📦
Jack and Jill were living with their mom and littermates in a box on a balcony. No one wanted to bring them inside. Thankfully, one of our fosters stepped up, and his wife was able to secure the mom and kittens and bring them to safety.
Their mom was not adoptable, but as soon as she finished nursing her babies, she was spayed and returned to her neighborhood, where kind people are watching over her and making sure she is fed.
After weeks of care, weaning, and getting them healthy, Jack and Jill found their happy ending. James and his family adopted them, and while his twin daughters were a little shy for the camera and the kittens were much more interested in playing than posing, we could not be happier for this sweet duo and their new forever home.
They even got matching lacy collars — so adorable!

It has been a long road for Julius.
After a week of hospitalization, we finally got the answer to what has been causing so much of his suffering: Julius has a diaphragmatic hernia, with two-thirds of his liver displaced into his chest cavity. This was likely caused by a past trauma, such as being hit by a car.
In addition to that, Julius is also battling dermatitis, FIV, and severe stomatitis, leaving his mouth painfully inflamed and infected.
The good news is that after a week in a 24/7 care hospital, Julius’s anemia was resolved, his appetite returned, and he was stabilized enough to leave the hospital.
He is now in one of our experienced medical foster homes, on cage rest so his appetite and litter box can be monitored, where he is feeling better and eating lots of wet food. He is currently on pain medication and finally getting some comfort.
Julius will still need significant care ahead.
His specialty hernia surgery is scheduled for May 27th, and we want to make sure he is as strong as possible before going under anesthesia. He will also need a separate dental surgery to address his severe stomatitis.
If you are able to give, please consider donating today to help us save this sweet boy, who was suffering on the streets for who knows how long before we found him.

You can also help by sending Julius wet food through our Chewy wishlist, so he has food he can comfortably eat while he continues to recover. The food will be shipped directly to Julius’s foster home.

We are so happy to report that Mr. Pickles’ dental surgery went wonderfully yesterday. 💙
Because his condition was so severe, he did need to have all of his teeth extracted except for his front canines and the tiny teefs between them.
The good news is that he is now home with his new mom, Susan, and sister cat, Winter, resting comfortably and on his way to healing, pain-free eating, and a full, happy life!
Thank you again to everyone who donated to help cover Mr. Pickles’ surgery. We are incredibly grateful that we were able to give him such a complete turnaround and the second chance he deserved. It is all because of you. ❤️
