November, 2024: This beautiful girl is 9 year old Bluhm. She’s our most recent happy tail from Red Rover. Bluhm had a broken tooth that got infected and needed to be removed. Her parents are in their 80s with their own health concerns and on a fixed budget. Through the On-Call Angel program, Bluhm was given the treatment she needed and remains with her loving family. It’s such an honour to be able to help Bluhm and her family stay together. ????
October, 2024: Happy Sunday everyone, I’d like you to meet Mimi‼️She’s our most recent happy tail from Cat Adoption Team, isn’t she beautiful?! Your donations help make this possible!
“Bree and her cat Mimi were just starting over after a tough time when Mimi developed a life-threatening hairball obstruction. Surgery was going to cost thousands, and even with a generous discount from her veterinarian, Bree couldn’t afford it without risking her housing. Thankfully, Bree found the Keeping Cats in Homes Fund at Cat Adoption Team. Through this fund, CAT was able to help cover the cost of Mimi’s care. Mimi got the surgery she needed, and Bree has peace of mind knowing she and her kitty can stay together. Bree shared, “Mimi is healing up beautifully… and is full of joy to be feeling well again.”
Thanks to donors like the Jamie Brianna’s Legacy Fund, we can keep families like Bree and Mimi together. ❤️”
October, 2024: We had the opportunity to donate towards the 2024 Wellness Clinic put on by Feeding Pets of the Homeless in Carson City, NV, where 114 pets were helped; 66 Spay/Neuter Vouchers; 65 Dog Licenses; 66 Microchips; and 25 pet parents got Flu Vaccines. So happy to be part of this amazing effort!
August, 2024: Today we have a happy tail about a dog…????
Our first On-Call Angel case from RedRover: “Sassenach is a stunning Siberian husky who needed urgent surgery to treat terribly infected pellet gun fragments under her skin that had created a huge abscess pocket. Her mom, who had adopted Sassenach only two months earlier, reached out for help affording the lifesaving procedure.“
And the update from her mom: “Hello! I just wanted to send a quick update on our Sassenach girl— she is doing great! The drains came out and there has been no new swelling or other signs of trouble. She is clearly feeling so much better! She is her usual energetic, mischievous self again, getting the zoomies every day. The staples are still in, so we are careful to keep her activity to a minimum, but we are all very excited for the day she’ll be able to do all the running and playing she wants. Thank you for your help in getting us here!”
July, 2024: Here’s another Happy Tail from CAT’s Keeping Cats in Homes fund; what a beautiful kitty!
The Keeping Cats in Homes fund (KCIH) at Cat Adoption Team offers advice and resources—including financial stipends in some cases—to support people in caring for their pet cats. Here’s a note from Nicole, who recently worked with KCIH to get urgent medical care for her cat, Kittan.
“My name is Nicole and this my kitty, Kittan. She’s one of my three cats that I absolutely adore. Unfortunately Kittan was pregnant and went into premature labor… This resulted in her needing emergency surgery, which I’m sure we all know is an astronomic expense—especially when you aren’t prepared for it. I reached out to the Cat Adoption Team… They were gracious enough to cover a huge portion of Kittan’s surgery. She is alive. She is recovering well. And it would not have been possible with their help. Thank you so much.”
Cat Adoption Team is ever-grateful to funders like Jamie Brianna’s Legacy Fund for supporting the Keeping Cats in Homes fund and helping more people and pets have happy, healthy lives together.
June 8 and 19, 2024: We partnered with Valley Animal Haven to provide free microchips to pets in our community, just in time for the 4th of July. The first event was so popular we decided to add a second date, which was also Jamie’s 1/2 birthday, and the crowd lined up early! Altogether, 81 pets were chipped for free!
May, 2024: Visalia Feral Cat Coalition held their annual clinic dedicated to Jamie; a total of 80 cats were spayed or neutered, and we sponsored 10 of them!
April, 2024: A story from Cat Adoption Team: “When Billie found Cat Adoption Team’s low-cost spay/neuter clinic, she was excited to get her cat Krampus fixed at a price that fit her budget. She really wanted to get him other vital care during his appointment too, like an FVRCP vaccine, deworming and flea treatment, and a microchip. But the added cost was out of reach. She contacted CAT’s clinic to schedule the neuter and shared that she’d hoped to get Krampus more care but simply couldn’t add it on top of paying for the neuter.
Billie wanted to do right by her kitty, and that’s one reason CAT’s Keeping Cats in Homes fund exists. Billie paid for the neuter surgery… and Krampus got the other care he needed too! Through the fund, CAT was able to provide the extra medical services at no additional cost. After the surgery Billie shared that Krampus recovered quickly and was grateful for the kind care.
CAT is grateful to partners like Jamie Brianna’s Legacy Fund for supporting the Keeping Cats in Homes fund. Your generosity means more cats and their families stay happy and healthy together!”
March, 2024: I’m excited to report that we are now helping Annie and Millie’s Place to provide temporary emergency shelter to unhoused people and their pets! Their mission is to keep humans experiencing homelessness together with their
fur family by evolving pet-friendly solutions, programs, and resources. In loving memory of their founder’s sister, Annie.
January, 2024: I received this sweet email from his new family: “Thank you for sponsoring seats on the bus for Oregon Dog Rescue to transport shelter dogs from Texas. We adopted one of those dogs you helped save, and he is so loved! What a wonderful way to honor Jamie, as her love for animals lives on!” This made my day! ????
