Little Goblin ended up in the emergency room last night. 😭💔

Goblin and Ghoul, the six-week-old brothers we brought into rescue almost two-weeks ago, have been struggling, and these tiny boys have us worried sick. They are trying their best to un-alive themselves.

We are throwing the kitchen sink at them in the hopes that something works. They have been getting syringe-fed every 2–3 hours around the clock because they have stubbornly decided that eating is apparently optional. According to these tiny goblins, food is just a suggestion. 😭😭😭

Jokes aside, we are doing everything we can to help these babies turn a corner. We just want to see them feeling better, gaining strength, and discovering that eating on their own is actually a pretty great idea!

Please send Goblin and Ghoul all the love, good vibes, prayers, and healing energy you can spare. We desperately want whatever is going on inside their little bodies to resolve so they can start thriving and grow into the happy, mischievous little goblins they were always meant to be. 🥺❤️‍🩹🐾

The day we have been waiting for is finally here! Or rather will be tomorrow. 😆

We did not want to release Peanut Potato Baby and Co. from their bathroom until they were officially litter box trained. After weeks of bottles, endless laundry, questionable bathroom decisions, and tiny dictators making demands, we have finally arrived!

Tomorrow, PPB and Co gets to meet Dolly Pawton!!! 🥹💕

We are keeping our fingers and paws crossed that these babies become the best of friends! We have been waiting so patiently for this introduction and we cannot wait to see what happens when these tiny personalities finally get to mingle!

Will there be friendship? Cuddles? Chaos? A tiny kitten gang plotting to overthrow the household?

Honestly, all of the above seems likely. 😆💗

Send all the good vibes for tomorrow’s introduction! 🎀🐾💕

Peanut Potato Baby and Co are FINALLY ALL LITTER BOX TRAINED! We are so thrilled and so thankful. Our laundry machines might finally get a tiny break and our laundry bill might go down by approximately $3. 😆

These tiny dictators are STILL demanding a bottle a couple of times a day because apparently growing up is optional when you have staff willing to cater to your every whim. 🙄🍼

But that is okay! As long as the p**p is where it belongs, we are happy! 💩👏

After 11.5 LONG weeks, Dolly Pawton has FINALLY reached 2-pounds!!! 🎀

Do you know how long we have been waiting for this little peanut to grow?! We have been cheering on every ounce of this tiny bottle baby and this milestone deserves a standing ovation! 👏🏻

And guess what?! Dolly Pawton officially has a spay date at the end of this month and will be available for adoption on November 1st! 🎉

This adorable little girl loves kitties, loves her hoomans, and loves her pink couch. And by her pink couch, we mean Potato Baby’s pink couch that Dolly has apparently decided belongs to her now. 😆

Dolly is looking for a forever family who will adore her, spoil her, and appreciate the fact that two-pounds of Chihuahua can somehow take up an entire couch. 🐾

Mr. Ghost 👻 has officially overcome his fear of toothbrushes! 😆 His foster mama successfully brushed last tonight without losing a limb or having his claws permanently embedded in her skin!

We ended up leaving a random toothbrush out for him to investigate for the day so he could get used to it and learn that toothbrushes are not, in fact, terrifying torture devices. Apparently, he has decided to cooperate with the dental hygiene program! 🪥😆

This handsome boy also INHALES his dry food without chewing. We suspect this may be a learned behavior from surviving outside where food was not guaranteed and sharing was probably not high on the priority list. 💔

Hopefully, with time, patience, and a full food bowl, Mr. Ghost will learn that he never has to worry about from where his next meal is coming. There will always be food and nobody is going to take it away from him! 🖤

From surviving outside with a serious injury to learning that toothbrushes, full bellies, and loving humans are not so scary after all, this boy is making progress!

Ghost is a total love bug and we cannot wait for the day he finds a family of his very own. We have a feeling someone is going to be incredibly lucky to call this sweet boy theirs. 🖤🐈‍⬛

Potato Baby loves to bribe people with her cuteness. 🙄🙄🙄

Look at this girl draping her paws over one of her hooman’s legs in an attempt to score some treats! The strategic paw placement. The adorable little face. The calculated manipulation. 😑

This girl KNOWS exactly what she is doing! Why beg for treats when you can emotionally blackmail your hoomans with your cuteness? 😆

Never underestimate a tiny calico with a big personality and absolutely ZERO shame. 😆👑🥔

Ghost settled in surprisingly well for his first night inside a home! 👻🖤

He has already decided that drinking water from a running faucet and letting said water run ALL OVER HIS OPEN, FLESHY WOUND is the superior hydration method. Let us just ignore the perfectly good standing water bowl AND the automatic pet fountain sitting in his bathroom. 😆😆😆

Apparently, toothbrushes are also things that must be swatted at. Even if there is a hooman hand attached to them. You know, the SAME hooman hand that fed him TWO Churus last night! The audacity! How dare we attempt to brush our teeth in his presence?! 🙄

Now, let us be honest. This boy is currently dropping pieces of dead skin all over his surroundings and his open wound is still oozing as he continues to heal. He is, objectively speaking, a bit of a biohazard right now. 🤢😆

BUT…

He PURRS. He HEAD BUTTS. He LOVES getting pets. And he has apparently decided that rubbing his open, oozing wound all over your hand and arm as he walks past you is an entirely acceptable love language. 🥹😂😬

Ghost, you are absolutely GROSS right now, sir. But you are also precious, loved, and finally safe. And we will happily love you through every gross, crusty, oozy step of your healing journey. 👻🤢🖤

Welcome to the good life, Ghost. You are home. 🏡🐾

GHOST IS HOME! 🖤😭🤍

Ghost is home and eating happily while curiously exploring his new bathroom, which will be his safe little sanctuary for the next two-weeks while he completes quarantine!

HE IS NOT FERAL! 😭😭😭

We are crying tears of thankfulness! After everything this poor boy has endured, seeing him safely indoors, eating, and beginning to explore his new surroundings is such an incredible relief. We are hopeful that as his wound continues to heal we will also be able to earn his trust and show him that he is finally safe. ❤️

Ghost is officially FIV/FeLV negative, neutered, dewormed, flea-free, microchipped, and vaccinated! He has had quite the medical makeover and we will be keeping a very close eye on his wound as he recovers. Fingers crossed for a smooth and speedy healing process!

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who donated toward Ghost’s care. Your generosity helped give this boy the chance he deserved. And to our incredible veterinarian and her amazing staff, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to get Ghost cleaned up, treated, and set up for success. We are so incredibly grateful for you! 🖤🤍🖤

Knowing that Ghost is finally home, safe, and will remain indoors for the rest of his life brings us so much peace. This poor boy suffered for far too long before help finally came.

Now, he gets to heal. He gets to learn that humans can be kind. And when he is ready, we hope to find him a forever family who will give him all the love, comfort, and safety he should have had all along. 🖤

Welcome home, Ghost. Your hard days are behind you, buddy. We are rooting for you every step of the way! 🐾

For those wondering… YES, that IS a blue cat bed. It is simply one they used when they were much tinier. 😆😆😆

Peanut Potato Baby would like to thank everyone who told her foster mama to upgrade her accommodations. She appreciates having her demands validated by the public. She is learning that if she complains loudly enough, the management team may actually listen. 🙄😆

Her foster mama will wash the tiny bed and pass it along to the next smallest kitten, who JUST opened her eyes today! 🥹❤️

Now, this video is also evidence of their ability to scale literally ANY mountain placed in front of them. No obstacle is too tall. No summit is unreachable. These tiny climbers have absolutely ZERO respect for gravity or their foster mama’s blood pressure. 😆

And for the record… THEY ARE NOT STARVING. THEY JUST THINK THEY ARE. 😆

They have unlimited wet and dry kitten food available, plus they get a bottle 1–2 times a day when their foster mama finally caves to the tiny terrorists.

And THIS was one of those times.

Unfortunately, Peanut Potato Baby and Co have decided that 1–2 bottles a day is a violation of their constitutional rights. They would prefer their usual 7–8 bottles a day, thank you very much. Their current plan is to scream, climb, riot, and generally make their demands impossible to ignore until management restores their preferred feeding schedule.

Weaning is going GREAT. Absolutely GREAT. Send help and sleep and laundry angels. 🤣🤣🤣🐾
