Biggie is a sweet, loving, and laid-back kitty who was rescued from a difficult life living outdoors. Sadly, Biggie suffers from a painful eye condition called entropion, which causes his eyelids to turn inward and rub against his eyes. He has already undergone one surgery, but unfortunately, it was not successful, and he now needs a second surgery to correct the condition. He also has limited vision in one eye. Despite everything he's been through, Biggie remains incredibly affectionate and loves cuddles, pets, and attention. After surviving life on the streets and enduring so much pain, this precious boy deserves a chance to heal and live a happy, comfortable life surrounded by love. ❤️ 🐾 🐈‍⬛

“Round-Up” for START 🔃 👀
Did you know that you can donate 💲 to START 🐈 🐕 🐈‍⬛ simply by rounding up on your credit card 💳 purchases? In just 3 easy steps you can be one of START’s amazing supporters! 🎉 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

How Round-Ups Work
1. Connect an Eligible Card 💳
Link 🔗 an eligible debit or credit card 💳 that you'd like to use for your round-up donations.

2. Make Card Purchases 🛍
Purchases made on that card will Round-Up to the next dollar. This is the change 💰 that is donated.

3. Change is Donated Monthly 📅
"Round-Up" change 💰 from your card purchases is donated on the last day of each month.

YOU set the donation target 🎯 amount between $10-$50 for each month so you don't go over your budget. Maximum for a month is $50. Get started today 📆 by clicking the link 🔗 below and getting your account set up. We really appreciate all of the support from our community. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

DISCLAIMER: 🎉 A monthly minimum donation of $9.99 will be charged to your linked card if any of the following conditions are met: (1) If your monthly round-up change accumulation is less than $10. (2) If we lose our connection to your registered card. This can occur if the bank associated with your card updates its security settings or if you change your bank log-in information. For example, if you change your credit or debit card account password, and do not update your account, we will be unable to track the transactions you made using that card to round up your change.

(Pending) This is Chanel. Can you help us save this precious 3yr old girl?

She was trapped three years ago with her siblings and they were all spayed and neutered at Animal Services. Today, she is living at a business in Lacombe, and loves when the volunteers show up to give her a can of friskies and her dry food ❤️🍲. She is friendly and likes to be petted.

She needs and deserves a home.

Her entire colony has disappeared, one by one. She too will disappear. Lacombe has coyotes, bobcats as well as humans will ill intentions.

A safe catio would be amazing for her. In time she will adjust to a indoor home with the right person working with her. Even a foster to socialize her and help her and she could be adopted.

Swap Shop Post!

Do you have a new cat tower 🐈🗼that your cats totally ignore & its real purpose is to hold all of your unfolded laundry? 👗👕 What about your lasagna-loving 🍝Garfield 🐈 that has outgrown his comfy bed that he’s no longer using? Have an extra cone-of-shame 🎉 left over from your cat's spay/neuter ✂day?

Post pics of your gently used (or new) cat 🐈‍⬛ related items to see if someone would like to take them off your hands. Don’t forget to include a location📍where you would like to meet up for the exchange/donation of the item.

We strongly encourage public meetup places to give, receive or exchange items. The parking lot of the Covington PetSmart may be a great place for you to meet up. If you choose this location for a swap, please go in and say Hi! 👋👊 to the adoption available cats! 🐈‍⬛🐈 (Another good location to meet up might be a McDonald's or Trader Joe's parking lot.)

P.S. We don't want to leave the dog 🐕🐶 people out of the fun. Gently used dog collars, kennels, beds, toys, etc. would make great items to swap too!

P.S.S. This is obviously a 'local to the Northshore area' swap post.
Not that we don't love our out of the area group members, it just wouldn't work. 🌎

This handsome older boy has been at one of our feeding locations for about two months, and we believe he may have been dumped. 💔

He’s still very scared and unsure in this new environment, but he’s slowly learning that people can be kind. Our feeders have been able to occasionally pet him, and he actually enjoys the attention! ❤️

We want to give him the care he deserves and get him ready for his next chapter. He needs vaccinations, deworming, a combo test, and other basic veterinary care before we can help him find his forever home.

💗 This is where we need your help!

Donations to START — St. Tammany Animal Resource Team make it possible for us to continue helping cats like him. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps cover veterinary care and allows us to keep saying YES to the next cat who needs help.

If you can donate, please consider helping this boy get one step closer to a safe, loving home. If you can’t donate, sharing this post helps just as much. 🐾

Thank you for supporting START and helping us continue this work🐈‍⬛
