From Birth to Adoption–Saving a Family

Kittens Butternut, Bisque, Noodle, Chowder and Bouillon were not even a day old when they and their mother, Miso, came under the care of an Alley Cat Allies grant. Their story took on a whole new level of heartwarming when a tiny orphaned kitten was introduced to Miso—who immediately took her in as her own! The kittens and their adopted sibling, Minestrone, grew up strong and healthy together. Earlier this year, they had their “graduation day” into forever homes!

Two Tornado Survivors Thrive

In the wake of devastating Oklahoma tornadoes last year, kitten siblings Lily and Poppy were rescued with severe eye infections, among other serious medical concerns. Alley Cat Allies covered the costs of their treatment through their long months of recovery. Though each had one eye that could not be saved, they’ve adapted beautifully and grew into the most bright and vivacious young cats. Poppy and Lily’s transformation was an honor and privilege to experience—and both have since been adopted!

A Little Nutty, a Lot Sweet–Cashew’s Story

Mr. Wilson, now named Cashew, was in Alley Cat Allies’ care for quite a while as we worked to bring him out of his shell (pun intended!). But it was well worth it to meet the amazing, unique cat he truly was—and he’s only blossomed more in his adoptive home! “From day one, he’s been part of our family,” say Cashew’s adopters. “He’s cuddly, he’s sweet, he’s a little bit spicy, and he’s a little bit nutty—hence his name! He means a lot to us, and we love him so much. I feel like we’re perfect for him and he’s perfect for us.”

Treating a Tiny Tiger

Tygie, a sweet ~6-week-old kitten from Tennessee, needed treatment for an ulcer in her eye and an upper respiratory infection. Through our Cat Help Desk, Alley Cat Allies answered the call to provide Tygie with veterinary care—and she recovered quickly. Her caregiver-turned-adopter says she’s a tiny force to be reckoned with and full of personality. Tygie also absolutely adores her human big brother!
