Yesterday, we mentioned that we took on two very special cases from our friends at Kershaw County Humane Society. Everyone, please meet Goldie (Goldilocks) and Aspen.

Goldie is a Golden Retriever pupper dupper who was surrendered to KCHS in rough shape. She is extremely underweight and covered in mats, but the moment I saw her, I asked if we could foster her, get her vetted, get her groomed, and help her become the dog she deserves to be. Thankfully, we got the green light.

While Dr. T from Topgun Veterinarian Service, LLC was busy helping tackle the largest TNR clinic we've ever held, I asked her to evaluate both Goldie and Aspen.

Aspen came into our lives thanks to "the other Tom."

Tom was walking through KCHS to spray out a cat trap when he came back and asked, "Did you see the pup in there? She makes Goldie look fat."

We went to see her.

I honestly don't know how else to say it—it kind of broke me inside.

Every bone was visible. Her body condition score is essentially a zero. She could walk a little, but despite everything she has endured, her spirit was still shining. Her tail never stopped wagging.

We asked the shelter staff, director, and assistant director if the girls could stay together, and everyone agreed there was no reason they couldn't. So both girls came home with us.

Now the real work begins.

Our friend Ariel, who comes out every 6–8 weeks to work her grooming magic on Van, trim cats when needed, and tackle the dreaded nail trims that Tom and I avoid at all costs, has agreed to give Goldie a much-needed makeover and see what miracles she can perform.

Over the next 6–8 weeks, our goal is simple: good food, good veterinary care, lots of love, and a chance for both girls to heal. We'll be working to get them to healthy weights, evaluating their temperaments (which, by the way, are absolutely wonderful so far), and figuring out whether they are destined for amazing adoptive homes or whether they become foster failures.

Honestly, the jury is still out on that last part.

Please stay tuned as we share their journey. We can't wait for everyone to watch these girls transform and finally experience the lives they deserve.

A huge thank you to Dr. T, Clarissa, Christian, Raina, Joe, and all of the Kershaw County Humane Society staff who helped make this possible. It truly takes a village, and we are so grateful for every single one of you.

Now let's get these girls healthy. ❤️

Today was our largest TNR clinic to date, and we are absolutely blown away by what this community accomplished together!

A huge thank you goes out to Kershaw County Humane Society, Turbeville Impact Incorporated, and Topgun Veterinarian Service, LLC for helping make today's clinic such a tremendous success. Because of this incredible partnership, 68 cats and kittens were spayed and neutered today!

The impact of those 68 surgeries will be felt for years to come. Fewer unwanted litters, healthier community cats, and a more sustainable future for both the cats and the people who care for them.

Our rescue also welcomed four kittens from a TNR mama into our program today. They tested negative and will receive the care they need while we work to find them loving homes through our partnership with PetSense in Lancaster.

In addition, we took in two delicate medical cases that needed help. We'll share more about them soon, so stay tuned.

Most importantly, thank you to every single member of our community who showed up today. Whether you trapped cats, transported, volunteered, donated, sponsored a surgery, or entrusted us with your community cats, YOU made this possible.
TNR cannot be done by one person, one rescue, or even three organizations. It takes an entire community working together toward a common goal.

To the residents of Kershaw County: thank you for showing up and showing out. Thank you for believing in TNR. Thank you for being part of the solution.

And thank you x10 for helping make today our biggest clinic yet.

Sometimes the universe has a funny way of reminding us that love sticks around. 💜

Several months ago, our local shelter director asked us if we could take in her mom’s peafowl. Her mom, Joy, had loved these ridiculous little feathered dinosaurs for years. Sadly, Joy passed away after a long, hard-fought battle with respiratory illness before she ever got to see this moment happen.

Here’s the wild part…

To the best of anyone’s knowledge, this peahen had NEVER shown any interest in sitting on a nest in the 5+ years Joy had them. Not once. No babies. No tiny chaos goblins. Nothing.

And then…this spring happened. ✨

Four little peachicks hatched.

Naturally, we had to name them:
🦚 Jazzy
🦚 Outgoing
🦚 Yahoo
🦚 Fabulous

Yep. JOY F. 💜

Coincidence? Maybe.

A tiny feathered sign from the universe? We’re choosing to believe absolutely yes.

And honestly…if you’ve ever met peacocks, you know “Outgoing” and “Fabulous” are less names and more personality traits. 😂

We’d like to think Joy had a hand in sending us a little happiness, wrapped in fluff, tiny peeps, and unnecessary drama. Because baby peafowl already act like they pay taxes and own property.

Welcome to the world, little nuggets. Your grandma Joy would’ve adored you. 💜

Little Adele is feeling loads better!

A little kitten trick we learned, thanks to Casey Maynor, stage 1 chicken or turkey baby food! A lot of the kitten foods have ingredients that may hurt a kitten that has ulcers in their mouths, thanks Calici!

Adele has a pretty decent set of teeth on her and she is tearing ni***es apart, so far, it's Miracle Ni**le x2 = zero and Adele is winning. The Ag ni***es, she's chewed through 2 of them. lol.

The little bowls we have in her soft sided crate, it has a heating mat underneath, there's formula in one bowl, water in the middle, and stage 1 chicken baby food in the other. She is going to town on the baby food!!!

Chesterfield SC, Animal Services, look at the little piggy go!

We have Adele on Azithromycin, and we are also giving her Karo syrup 3 x a day. She's already sounding and breathing better, and she's meowing at us now :-)

We were contacted by our buddies at Chesterfield SC, Animal Services about taking in a semi-demonic, semi-bipolar, occasionally sweet (mostly not 😅) spicy nugget of a kitty — of course we said yes.

On the way there, we also got asked if we had room for an FIV+ cat. Absolutely. We really wish the stigma around FIV+ cats would disappear already. They deserve loving homes too.

Then our friend Casey put out an APB for a sick kitten. We weren’t planning on taking on another bottle/gruel baby… but here we are. Meet Adele. ❤️

With all of that said, we are officially CLOSED for intake for the foreseeable future. No more cats or kittens right now.

Ironically, we’d rather take in 20 chunky adult cats than a handful of kittens. Adult cats can be vetted and adopted quickly, while kittens stay with us for months until they are fully vetted and ready for homes.

Thank you all for continuing to support us through the chaos, the spicy nuggets, and the endless kitten season madness.
