A Happy Update on a Holiday Kitten Tale
Over the holiday season, a tiny kitten we dubbed Blitzen was found abandoned with her siblings. After a long and challenging recovery, she recently found her perfect forever home!
We’d like to share this look back on Blitzen’s story from our allies who helped care for her:
“When we first met little Blitzen, she was in dire condition. Abandoned in a muck bucket with her siblings, she was battling a severe upper respiratory infection, unable to use her back legs, and semi-incontinent. Her future was uncertain, but we refused to give up on her.
With months of dedicated care, veterinary treatment, and endless love, she defied the odds. Slowly but surely, she regained strength, learned to move again, and proved that nothing could hold her back. Today, she’s a completely different kitten—running around care-free, full of life, and embracing every moment (even if she’s still a little wobbly)!
Now, Blitzen has found her forever home, where she is cherished and adored. Her journey is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of rescue.”
Protecting Pookie
Earlier this season, we were able to rush Pookie to emergency treatment for wounds to her neck, back, and leg, and she continues to recover in comfort and safety.
It’s all part of our larger work to improve access to care for cats and kittens, and for their families or caregivers who could not otherwise afford their treatment.
Daffodil and Sprout Blossom
When these two sweet siblings were abandoned at the most critical period of their kitten growth, we worked with veterinary allies to ensure they had a safe place to bloom into healthy, happy young cats.
Their names came easily because they blossomed almost immediately in our care! We can’t wait to find them the perfect adoptive homes where they can put down roots and brighten a new family’s life!
