Update: Although his life was cut short, there is still a great need to cover the expenses that have been incurred! Rest in Peace sweet little man!

This sweet kitten (Rusty) has had to have emergency surgery today for a hernia. We have had a rough year this year with medical expenses. If you can help, no matter how small, we could really use some help. If you have any questions, please send us a message! Thank you for helping us Save Tehachapi’s Orphaned Pets.

Mark your calendars! We are going to have a bunch of kittens that are finally old enough to come and meet their forever homes. We also have some that aren’t so much kitten anymore and some young recently fixed mamas that desperately need to find a home.

Yesterday we were able to check in on a mama kitty and her babies and 2 sets of bottle babies. They are all on the website for pre adoption. The mama, orange and calicos will not be available for about 6 more weeks but the others are close to being weaned.

It has come to our attention that there has been some confusion about our association with Hilary Hamil. While Hilary has been a great cat/kitten advocate, and we have helped her rescue kittens when we have room, Hilary is not affiliated with S.T.O.P. Hilary has always been involved with Fixin Feral Felines
While we appreciate what she continues to do for FFF and to help network for abandoned kitties including ours, she is not authorized to speak on our behalf S.T.O.P.

Tibu is a very large boy! He's about 3 years old and was rescued about 6 months ago. He was very underweight and unsure of the world, but once he realized he was safe, his true personality came through almost instantly. He is incredibly affectionate and just wants to be as close to his person as possible—his favorite place is curled up on a lap, purring nonstop and soaking in the comfort of being loved.
He has shown friendly interest in other cats and seems to want companionship, though he hasn’t had the chance to fully integrate in his current environment.
Tibu is the kind of cat who bonds deeply and loves fully—he doesn’t just enjoy being saved, he shows it every single day . He will make an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion to someone lucky enough to bring him home."
