Saturday is doing so well in her new foster home, and we couldn't be happier for this sweet girl that we couldn't wait to share the news with you all.

Saturday has settled right in and is showing her new foster mom just how much of a wonderful companion she is. She regularly plays on her foster mom's bed with her favorite toys, spends time looking out the window, and of course, makes plenty of time for snuggles.

At night, Saturday loves curling up with her foster mom and lies right on her foster meowm's chest as she's dozing off. She's constantly head-butting and rubbing against her, asking for attention and showing just how affectionate she is.

We've always known Saturday was a total lovebug, and it's so nice to see her getting to enjoy all the attention, comfort, and one-on-one time that she deserves.

Saturday is such an incredibly good, affectionate girl. We truly believe she will bring sunshine into someone's life and home just as she has in her foster home.

If you'd like to meet Saturday and potentially make her part of your family, please fill out an Adoption Interest Form on our website today. www.whiskersandtailsfoundation.org/adopt

We have some stinky news to share about our handsome boys, Crispin and Ivory. After 8 months in their adoptive home, they’re being returned to us through no fault of their own. Their adopter is going through life changes and can no longer keep them.

Crispin and Ivory were extremely popular when they were first available, and it’s no surprise. They’re sweet, gentle, friendly boys who love people of all ages. They lived with two children and did beautifully. They’re the kind of cats who thrive in a family setting and soak up all the love they can get.

Now they need a foster home while we work on finding them a new forever home. This is going to be a big transition for them, so we’d love to get them settled somewhere safe and comfortable as soon as possible.

If you can foster these two boys, please email us at [email protected]

We’ve got some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is that out of the three kittens we were planning to trap, two haven’t been seen since the storms on Sunday. We’re still hoping they’re tucked away somewhere safe, and we’ll continue monitoring and feeding at the site. We aren’t giving up on them.

The good news is that we were able to trap the last little kitten who was left all alone. He was scared, stressed, and crying out for his siblings, and hearing such a tiny baby calling for them was absolutely heartbreaking.

He’s only 5–6 weeks old. Just a baby who should be snuggled up with his littermates, not trying to survive outside by himself.

Once we got him safely inside, he got a bath, a little glow‑up, and finally curled up in a warm, cozy bed. After everything he had been through, he was completely exhausted and fell right asleep.

We’ll be doing a kitten naming raffle soon so you can help choose the perfect name for him.

If you’d like to help with his care, donations are appreciated. He’ll need vetting, food, supplies, and everything that goes into getting a tiny kitten ready for his forever home. Every little bit helps.

We simply can't keep up with all the cries for help. We are strapped financially and we don't have any more foster homes. But here we are.

Tomorrow, we're working on trapping these three little ones.

Before setting a single trap, we assessed the area and determined the best course of action to give these kittens the safest and most successful outcome possible. We also received permission from the neighboring property owners for access, so we're all set for the next step.

Tomorrow, the traps go out! Hopefully, it won't be long before we have this little litter safely contained and on their way to a better life.

And if we happen to spot Mom, we'll be working on trapping her too so she can be TNR'd and won't have to keep having litter after litter.

Rowan said these are the only kind of balls we like.

Please consider making a donation to our fundraiser today to help us continue to be able to spay & neuter cats who are living on our streets so we can stop the endless cycle of suffering and cats being born into these horrible situations.

Today’s study: Feline Comfort Preferences.

Subject A (Nebbleton): chooses structured seating with lumbar support.
Subject B (Maisie Moon): chooses… cardboard. Exclusively cardboard.

Conclusion: Cats are weird and we love them. Come adopt our two weirdos.

🚨🚨🚨BOTTLE BABY FEEDER NEEDED🚨🚨🚨

Happy Caturday everyone! We are looking for a Bottle Baby feeder for the next couple of weeks. We want to help these two kittens that were found outside (no mom) and intake them into our rescue. We are estimating they are about 3 weeks old. We need someone who would be willing to foster and bottle feed them for about 2 weeks and then we can move to another foster home. Currently, we have no bottle baby fosters at all.

If you can help foster these two little munchkins, please send us an email to [email protected] right away. Thank you!!!

In an effort to help save these little ones lives, please help share this post far and wide. We are located in Chicago.

For those you who do TNR. We want to know...

When did you learn how to TNR?
When did you start doing it (how long)?
Do you only do TNR in your own yard/community or do you also TNR in other neighborhoods?
What made you want to start doing TNR?

And just like that, Wicker Park Fest is over, and we're back to our regularly scheduled grind!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to see us, stopped by our table, and showed your support. And to our amazing volunteers who showed up with high spirits and big smiles and endured the sweaty high heat and that absolutely brutal, melting-pot humidity to help us out. Seriously, we are SO thankful! We couldn't have done it without you. ❤️

Now, if you'll excuse us, we need about three weeks of sleep to recover. 😴😂

We’re so happy to have been part of Rowan’s journey, and even happier that we were able to get him the specialty veterinary care he needed to make sure he’s healthy and thriving. Rowan is exactly why we show up every single day.

Events like Wicker Park Fest are what make care like his possible. The funds raised at community events allow us to say “yes” when a cat needs medical support,n but we can only do that when we have volunteers willing to stand with us.

We know not everyone is in a position to donate financially, and that’s completely okay. Donating your time is just as invaluable. But we’ve been asking for help for weeks now, and we still don’t have enough volunteers for this Sunday. Without volunteers, we simply can’t raise the funds that make stories like Rowan’s happen.

If you’re able to volunteer this Sunday, please email us at [email protected]. Your time directly translates into care, treatment, and second chances for cats who need it most.

P.S Our little charmer, Rowan, is still available for adoption. If you are interested, we would love to set up a Meet & Greet with you and him.
