That face when you find out you're FINALLY ringworm free after months!! 😂

We got the call we've been waiting for... Gizmo is officially cleared of Ringworm!!

After months of treatment and isolation, this sweet girl is finally getting her fresh start! She's now spayed, fully vetted, and will be ready for adoption next week once she's healed from surgery! ❤️

Gizmo has been through so much. Along with her battle with ringworm, she lost one of her eyes due to a rupture. But we have even MORE good news! Our vet has cleared her and doesn't expect any long-term complications from her eye injury! 🥹

And let us tell you, this girl has SO much love to give!! She's an absolute lovebug, SUPER playful, and adores attention! After spending months in isolation, she's more than ready for a family who will shower her with all the cuddles, toys, and attention she's been missing out on!

All she needs now is someone to give her the happy ending she's been waiting for! ❤️

Well, apparently we adopt out dogs now too... 😂

Jasper's foster's Blink camera has identified him as a dog, and who are we to question technology?

Jasper says he's more than qualified to fill both roles! After all, he's looking for a home where he can be the ONLY pet, so why not be the cat AND the dog? 😂❤️

So if you've been wanting both but only have room for one, Jasper's got you covered!

And the best part? His adoption fee is a donation of your choosing!

Look who's feeling better and ready to find her forever home! 🥹❤️

Remember sweet Cadbury, who needed an emergency blood transfusion? Well, she's doing AMAZING and absolutely loving life indoors!

She wants to thank everyone who donated, shared her story, and cheered her on. Thanks to you, she has a second chance at life! ❤️

And she's making the most of it! That adorable paw in the first picture? Just Cadbury tapping her foster to remind her that the petting should NEVER stop! 😂❤️

Which bring us to even MORE exciting news! 🎉

Cadbury is spayed, vaccinated, and will be ready for adoption next week!

She's shy at first, but once she trusts you, she's a total sweetheart who LOVES affection, neck scratches, and rubbing against your legs! She'd do best in a patient home as the only pet, especially since she's not a fan of dogs!

From fighting for her life to demanding more pets, Cadbury has come SO far! Now she just needs her forever family!! ❤️

After everything this tiny girl has been through, we couldn’t be happier to share that BRIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 🎉

Her new mom traveled all the way from New Jersey just to bring her home! 🥹 Brie now has new feline siblings AND a little human to grow up with. We have no doubt this sweet girl is going to be loved, spoiled, and absolutely adored!

From fighting for her life to finding her forever family states away, Brie’s journey has been one special little success story.

Happy tails, sweet Brie! Enjoy your new life as a Jersey girl!! 🧡🧡🧡

Update: One of our awesome fosters became available — now Mimi is safe and will receive the medical care she needs 🩷 more updates to come!

Update 10/7: One of our awesome fosters became available — now Mimi is safe and will receive the medical care she needs 🩷 more updates to come!

COURTESY POST — IBKC does not have this cat

Mimi was taken care of by just about the sweetest Mamaw you could ever meet. Sadly, Mamaw recently passed away, leaving behind this beloved girl...

To honor Mamaw and the love she gave Mimi, we’d love to help find this sweet girl a family who will love her just as much. Here's what her next of kin has to say about how sweet Mimi is:

"We’re looking for the perfect, loving home for Mamaw’s sweet girl, Mimi. 🤍🐾

Mimi is a beautiful grey female, and I would say she’s no older than 2 years old. She is an absolute sweetheart and LOVES attention. If there’s an available lap, you can pretty much guarantee Mimi will find it and curl up for all the love and cuddles. 🥹

She is great with kids and other animals and just has the sweetest little personality.

Mimi does have an injured/deformed paw. We’re not sure if she was born that way or if it was broken at some point, but it doesn’t seem to bother her one bit or keep her from being her happy, loving self.

She was Mamaw’s baby, so finding her a safe, loving home where she’ll be spoiled and cared for is incredibly important to us. We don’t want her to go just anywhere. 🤍

If you think Mimi might be the perfect addition to your family, please message me. And even if you can’t take her, sharing this post would mean so much to us. 🐱🤍

📍Location: Chapmanville, WV."

Please share! Mimi's person might be one of your friends! 🤍
