To a cat, survival is everything.
Hungry and covered in greasy grime since January, occasionally eating cheap dry food, drinking dirty water and sometimes getting stuck inside dumpsters searching for food.
Picture four beautiful and trusting brothers less than 2 yrs of age. Two all white kitties with blue eyes, one white with green eyes, and one gray with a spot of white on his chest and one toe, tying him together to his brothers. Purring and rolling and chatty, they press their heads against you and each other to say, “Hello, I’m happy to see you!”
Sounds like they should be in a wonderful someone’s living room but this is exactly how they were when Friends of Felines found them living instead under a leaky, abandoned truck in a neighborhood no one should be head butting anyone in, hungry and covered in greasy grime since January, occasionally eating cheap dry food, drinking dirty water and sometimes getting stuck inside dumpsters searching for food.
To a cat, survival is everything. So it was not surprising when we had these four extraordinary boys neutered and vaccinated, sent them off to that rare and cherished Safe Haven called a Foster Home where they no longer needed to fight for their lives, that some of them felt safe enough to finally just fall apart.

Gastric episodes, fevers and hospital adventures aside, by the time you read this, we feel sure the boys will have shaken off their abandonment fall-out, and will be ready for adoption.
And yes, it is Kitten Season, so please welcome Hoot, one of a litter of four, whose feral Mom has been spayed and returned to her home, never to be burdened again with having to care for a litter of kittens outside on her own.

Each and every one of us can continue to make a difference in the lives of homeless and forgotten cats and kittens – we really can do this – and with record foreclosed homes, sweet abandoned cats just like our four wonderful boys, and warmer weather, we can really use your help. Together, let’s help as many cats as we can.
