Snuggle Rescue Group

A few nights ago, we welcomed two newborn kittens into our care after being contacted by the Ferguson Fire Department. The two tiny siblings had been found alone, and while we don't know the exact circumstances they were discovered in, one of the kittens arrived with what appeared to be ash or debris in her mouth. We named her Ashley.
Despite our best efforts, little Ashley passed away overnight. It's possible that she ingested or inhaled whatever was in her mouth before she was found, but there are also many other reasons newborn kittens can decline so quickly. Unfortunately, we may never know exactly why we lost her.

Her brother, Phoenix, is still with us and is doing well so far. We are remaining very cautious, as both kittens were found in the same location and exposed to the same environment. Even so, Phoenix is showing us his fighting spirit, and we won't stop fighting right alongside him. Please keep sweet Phoenix in your thoughts and prayers as he continues his journey. We are hopeful, but every hour is critical for a newborn kitten. Thank you for supporting these fragile little lives and for keeping Phoenix in your hearts.
Rest peacefully, Ashley. ❤️

Today is a big day for Scooter! ❤️

He is undergoing what we hope will be his final reconstructive surgery to correct his knee, which has unfortunately healed into a straight position, which leaves him unable to move it in a way that is helpful to him. The goal is to make his leg at least partially functional and have it heal into a more natural position, so he can use it for balance and have an improved quality of life moving forward.
This has been a long journey, and Scooter has remained his sweet, cuddly self, every step of the way. We're hopeful that this surgery will be the final piece of the puzzle for him.

Please keep Scooter in your thoughts today and send all the positive vibes, prayers, healing energy, and well wishes you can. We know he'll appreciate all the love and support as he heads into surgery and begins his recovery 🐾❤️
