Foster or Adopter Needed – Poe & Pacino Need a Second Chance

Poe and Pacino are two 5-year-old brothers who thought they had their forever home… until they were recently surrendered back to us through no fault of their own. Now they’re confused, heartbroken, and hoping someone will give them the love they’ve always given so freely 💔

These boys are truly something special.

Poe is one of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet—super snuggly, constantly purring, and happiest curled up in your lap. He just wants love and affection and will soak up every second of it. He’s also wonderful with kids and babies, making him a perfect family companion.

Pacino is just as loving, with a gentle, easygoing personality. He adores attention, gets along great with other male cats, and is an all-around wonderful companion.

They share a beautiful bond and would love to stay together if possible—but they can absolutely go to separate homes if needed. Whether together or apart, they each have so much love to give 🐾💛

We are urgently looking for a foster or adopter (or foster-to-adopt) who can open their heart and home to one or both of these amazing boys. They deserve stability, comfort, and a family who won’t give up on them again.

Please don’t let Poe and Pacino wait any longer. If you can help—or even share this post—you could change their lives.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted — our tiny but mighty team has been hard at work behind the scenes doing what we love most: helping cats in need. While we’ve stayed busy with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and our adoption program, we’ve admittedly fallen behind on social media and fundraising. But we’re still here, still working, and still committed to every cat we care for.

Unfortunately, one of our long-term fosters, sweet Miss Bobbi, gave us a scare last week and ended up at the ER vet with a rough case of gastritis. Her bill totaled $800, a huge hit for our little rescue.

Between unexpected medical bills, ongoing TNR efforts, and the costs of flea/tick/heartworm prevention and vaccines for our long-term fosters, our funds have taken a serious hit.

If you're able to chip in to help with Bobbi’s bill or support our TNR work, we would be endlessly grateful. Every dollar truly makes a difference. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this post helps more than you know. 🐱✨

We’re a grassroots rescue trying to get back on our feet — with your help, we can keep showing up for the cats who need us most.

📲 on Venmo and on our website: chesapeakerescue.org for more ways to donate.
🙏 Thank you for supporting our mission.

Miss Iris is looking for a new home!

This black and white beauty has lived outdoors for most of her life but is hoping to find an indoor family before it gets too cold. 🥶 This girl is shy, but has warmed up very well to her current caretaker.

Little Iris is missing one of her front feet. We will have her evaluated by a vet and all shots updated. She has been spayed.

If you’re interested in Iris please reach out to us as soon as possible! We’d love to get her indoors and somewhere safe before the weather changes.

Pm us or email us at [email protected]

Sally (brown) & Lucy (grey) are still searching for their furrever homes!

These two ladies would prefer a home together. Once they get familiar with you, they love to be held and enjoy having a perch on your shoulder while you go about your daily activities.

Interested in these two ladies? Fill out an adoption application at chesapeakerescue.org

Swipe for the cutest BLEP! 👅

BARN HOME NEEDED!

Marcie is a mama kitty who’s done her duty raising her kittens and is now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and up to date on flea/tick/heartworm prevention… Since she has now retired from motherhood, she is looking for a safe/outdoor place to call home.

Marcie is feral. She does not desire to live indoors or be a family pet.

Do you have a barn or a large property where you need a mouser or help with pest control? Miss Marcie would be great at that! We would provide supplies and assistance to help her get properly acclimated.

Interested or know someone who might be? Email us at [email protected]

Remember Suzy Snowflake?

She was our organizations FIRST foster cat and FIRST adoption! This is the girl that started it all.

We get an update from her mom every few weeks and we LOVE it… Her name is now Gracie and she is doing wonderfully. She even has a doggie brother that she has gotten used to. Miss Gracie has the luxury of her dad working from home so she gets all the lovin’s all day long! She spends most of her days watching out the window staring at the birds and squirrels that come by… It’s safe to say she’s living a great life.

Have you adopted from us? We’d love to hear from you! Send us an email at [email protected]

We figured this would be worth sharing again since more and more neo-natal and unweaned kittens are being brought into shelters daily…

This season brings warmer weather, sunny days and PLENTY of kittens! This means you may stumble across some in your yard, at the park, or anywhere really.

Many people do not know what the best course of action is and choose to bring young/unweaned kittens into the shelter because they think they have been abandoned.

This is what we call "Kit-Napping" and we've created a chart below to help you know what to do if you do happen to find some kittens!

Share with your friends! Let's stop kit-napping in its tracks!

Update on our FIP Warrior: Henry 💪

He has had 4 injections of this extremely expensive miracle drug and it has helped exponentially.

His fever is gone, his energy is back, the blood in his eye is slowly reabsorbing, and his appetite is better! These are all signs that this drug is working and needs to be continued.

We just ordered the next week and a half of his medication. It came to $615 dollars. This is just the beginning of his treatment. We need your help now more than ever to save Henry’s life!

If you can help, we have an active Facebook fundraiser going on our page.

We also take donations via PayPal which can be found on our website chesapeakerescue.org

And venmo as well
