Update Post πŸ€πŸ•ŠοΈUpdateπŸ•ŠοΈWe were unable to rescue some yesterday. They are shown below. Rest well little ones. Please keep comments to this post only out of respect for those lost & the communities feelings on this sensitive matter. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ€πŸ•ŠοΈ

As hard as we try to find rescues to save these kittens & cats it can be nearly impossible when they are all full now. So with very few adoptions there are little to no spaces opening for these poor cats. Unfortunately yesterday was another very sad day for the rescue teams. We even lost very young kittens. Neptune was only weeks old and Pryce only a few months. Not that it matters which ones or how old, none of them deserved this cruel fate. Brighton Talulla Payden & Zuri… were all worth saving! We just didn’t find rescues open. It’s heartbreaking. We need to start finding homes for those in rescues now or it will only get worse. There’s whole families listed now that we have nowhere to place. It’s getting worse and worse, but will still try our best to help them.

Yes fosters help but we need these cats ADOPTED! More than anything else, we need to clear out our rescues. They are FULL of Devore adult cats now with no way to open up more space for intake. We can’t keep pulling more and more adult cats out without a logical solution. At this point more will die from lack of rescue space than anything else. Please continue this discussion on the new post.

Who is bringing these cats in? Are these street cats that people just trapped or cats that humans owned?

It’s trappers that are possibly paid by the city and the shelter and property management in Mobile home parks and apartment complexes mostly u/Cassius_O has driven by some of the areas where many have been trapped so she might have more insight on the situation.

Ugh. Why can't they just leave the cats alone. I truly don't understand. They are natural pest control and stay out of people's ways. Poor babies. My heart hurts for them.

I know. We are trying to make changes. ☺️
