One of my favorite posts to share is when I can update our adoption poster to share the happy news, because at Hobbes Haven our ethos is “Every heart deserves a home”.
Feral and stray cats enter a harsh and cruel world from the day they’re born, so being rescued and having a chance for their little hearts to find a home, feels like a miracle and a big win.
Frodo & Fiona come from a letter of five neonatal kittens that were found on the side of the Goldendale Highway where a typical dog walk turned into a life-saving one! A litter of five was discovered just feet from the main highway, where the other person that I found them noted that they were very sadly but clearly dumped. This beautiful group of siblings was one of my first solo ventures with neonatal kittens, where I dove into reading articles, researching, watching videos, and waking up in the middle of the night to bottle feed every single little mouth until they were old enough to start eating food on their own. As I held each one, I would admire their fragility and irresistible cuteness, and ask myself aloud, how there could exist people that could consciously harm helpless beings like this- these little guys had absolutely no chance at survival and if this amazing gal hadn’t gone out of her way to pause her typical day and scoop these little guys out of the tall grass, and then take the time to reach out to organizations and shelters until she finally connected with one that could help her take them off her hands, these five special individuals wouldn’t have had a chance to share their love and joy with this Beautiful Family that opened their hearts and home to a brother and sister. We are already receiving really happy updates of this young dynamic duo, and are excited to share with you guys with an upcoming post!

We have the beautiful privilege and immense responsibility of being able to rescue and host litters and cats from all over the Columbia River Gorge, with all different types of backgrounds and stories. It personally fills my heart to be able to make an impact in each one of these lives, and it would fulfill me to the fullest finding homes for all of these special and loving beings- that’s the goal with each intake and has rippling effects to the cycle of rescue work-
Assess support and help needed> Rescue> foster to domesticate> adoption> rescue> foster> adoption> rescue> foster>repeat…
When adoptions are slow, it halts the process of rescuing because we physically don’t have the space and time capacity
When donations are low, it naturally slows our rescue work because we personally cover this work out of our own pocket and are obviously capped past a certain point.
Over extending in any capacity is irresponsible because it hurts the overall mission and jeopardizes our current fostered rescues- that’s one of the reasons your support is so appreciated and plays a pivotal piece of this rescue work continuing.
Can you help make my work and my mission more achievable by adopting, fostering or donating?

Stray and feral cats learn just like your cat living with you at home- the only difference are those walls that either keep them in or out.

Patience can change everything.

Please be the change you wish to see in the world.

The perspective of a feral cat-
Remember, you can make a difference.
Be the chance you want to see in the world!

Like with so many things in life, when watered appropriately and given the right attention and care, you can nurture something very beautiful and healthy.
Your relationship with your cat or dog is more than that of an owner, but that of a caregiver. It’s your responsibility to give care to that living being, your responsibility to make sure that it is safe, healthy, and happy. I love thinking about the relationship I have with my personal cats and my rescues as that of a caregiver because it opens my heart and mind to the respect and dignity that they deserve. Just because something doesn’t have words to communicate or is smaller or looks different doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve respect and love. Looking at an animal like you are its owner takes away humanity and compassion and replaces it with entitlement and selfishness. I don’t believe we own our partners, I don’t believe we own our children, I don’t believe we own animals, but instead, we are their caregivers and we have the immense privilege of caring for those particular living beings.

Are you ready to extend your heart to a pair of beautiful kittens? Please check out our Petfinder profile!
