That's a big cat on the other end of that tail!

Well my friends, we're on the back-up page again.... Sigh.... Since we have far fewer followers on this page, do us a favor and share, share, share this post.

Can you spare $25? It would help our sickest kitties. Visit our website, click the donation button or use our Venmo code -

Many of the cats and kittens we take from the shelter have physical challenges. Along with these challenges come extra expenses.

One example is the three kittens below (there's a tabby in there somewhere). They're coming later today.

Bravo, our sweet, loving little black kitten found in the middle of the road with an injured leg, will require an amputation in the near future.

Cannolli, a cute little 1 pound plus tabby that was terribly ill with Calici when he arrived, is having an eye that was irreparably damaged by the virus removed on Thursday.

Join me on the first couple days in the life of a kitten arriving in rescue .

Saturday evening we picked up the kitten pictured below after being contacted by the Rescue staff in Wichita. Due to his size and health status, he needed out of the shelter ASAP.

On Sunday he was weighed and evaluated. He appears to have the Calici virus which often includes eye involvement. He received his vaccination, worming, started antibiotics, antiviral medication, antiinflammatory and antibiotic eye drops. He weighed a whopping 1lb 2oz.

Sunday and Monday he was weighed and observed to ensure he was eating independently and continued his medication. His eyes began to show some improvement.

Tuesday, this evening, I spent some one-on-one snuggle time with him. I noticed what felt like a scab on his head, hidden by his fur. After cleaning and basic first aid, he appears to have an infected wound. He's already on antibiotics and now the wound has been opened up, drained and cleaned.

I also found fleas on him while cleaning the wound. This age is difficult since they're technically too small for standard flea prevention, so at 1lb, they're addressed as needed. So, fleas have been taken care of.

This represents the time, supplies and support just ONE kitten takes over 3 days and we have over 50 in care right now. We are all volunteers and do this as a passion, this isn't our job (that's what we do during the 8 hours a day we have left).

We're entering the time of year where everyone will be looking for donations. Unlike the big non-profits, we donate our blood (literally, bites and scratches are part of the job), sweat and tears daily. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a difference to us and goes to support the cats and kittens we save.

He still needs a name!

Between the page hack and the number of cats we have in foster care (over 60) I've been kind of overwhelmed recently. On top of that, adoptions felt a little slow lately and since we do so many of our adoptions during the last quarter of the year, thought I should run the numbers.

Well, they are so dramatic, I ran them twice!

This time last year, we had done 75 adoptions.

We have done 123 so far this year! An increase of over 60%!

I don't know if we'll continue to hold that percentage through the last 2.5 months of the year, but I'm confident we'll make our goal of 130 cats this year.

A great big thank you to my volunteers!

Below are 2 kittens at intake. We get some cuties and some that need a little work to make it to cuteness. BTW, the baby on the right is healthy now and gaining weight so she can be spayed.

Our 2 Maine C***s were adopted today!

Cassian, a one year old gentle giant who has been very stressed in the foster environment, found a great, quiet home as a single cat with a couple in Kansas City.

Nova, a 5 year old boy with RBF, who also has had a difficult time adjusting to the foster environment, went home with a wonderful woman from Manhattan, KS.

I am so excited for both of them to get their own homes!

If you are one of our adopters, share a photo of your baby to add to our photo collection (and just to show off)!

Here's one I'm considering foster failing on. I only have 1 personal cat and he has a grade 5/6 heart murmur. His name is Talent.

We're starting to get some followers! Some new, some old.

Please share and invite your cat loving friends! Unfortunately, I can't invite our old followers unless we're friends, so I'm hoping to find other ways to reach those that don't find us organically.

But, you know the thing with social media is the reach that comes from reaching out to one another!

1000 followers is the magic number for Facebook to open up additional capabilities, let's see how long it takes us to get there! We're starting at 30

We are Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society. A small, non-profit, 501(c)3 cat and kitten rescue and adoption venue located in Olathe, KS.

Sadly, our page of 3.5 years was hacked and we must rebuild our follower base. For small non-profits like us, our social media base is a large component of our fundraising.

So if you are interested in learning new cat facts, seeing the kitties we rescue, seeing them in their foster homes, finding our events, or just donating, PLEASE follow our page and invite any animal loving friends to follow as well! Thank you!
