Compassion is NOT a Crime, and community cat caregivers shouldn't face penalties for taking action to improve cats' lives and benefit their communities. 👏

That's why we champion policies that protect cats and caregivers. And, fight laws that place them at risk.

💯 Kitten wrestlemania is absolute mayhem in the best way 😹 Tiny pointy adorable chaos nuggets!

😹 Sounds about right! 😅

😹🙀

Right?!? I have lost count how many times I have watched this silly video… can’t believe I caught it on film! 😹

😹 Absolutely essential to the experience! 😅

Did you know that most shelters & rescue orgs can provide a carrier, food, litter, etc for fosters… plus all vet services?

You provide the safe space, transport, and LOTS of playtime and cuddles… fostering can be a low-cost effort whether you have 1 week, 1 month, or 1 summer to help 🤔😻

OMG this jumpscare 😹😅😻

Folks, if you’re not fostering kittens… you’re missing out! 😻 Today’s a great day to apply to foster with your local rescue or shelter 💪 (or donate or adopt or promote… any help is needed)

I’m so excited for them to start their next adventure… together! 🥹😻

Sounds like your kitty trained you well! 😹😻 I do think these super-smart fetch kitties sometimes like to make up games of their own 😅

Oso will miss the babies, but they start annoying him at about 3-4 months old so he’ll be ready for a break (or at least won’t be so outnumbered 😅). Plus he just gets more cuddle time with me… it’s part of our process as we send off fosters to their forever homes 😻

On this #Caturday little Peppermint wants to show off her adorable fetch skills! 🤩

Can’t wait to share this special detail when I meet her (and Yukon’s) new forever family later today! 😻

Max D has really benefitted from learning how to play & keep up with older kittens… and he’ll especially miss Yukon as a chew toy 😹

But it will be good for him to be the only baby for a bit since he’s likely to be adopted as a single by the end of the March.

Foster Uncle Oso will miss them most😿

😹😻

Of course 🫶 So glad to see he’s doing well after surgery! He has such a good mama looking after him 😊

When some amazing rescuers scooped this fluffy, friendly cat up from a Baltimore alley yesterday, they thought she was just really pregnant. But it soon became clear that something was very, very wrong… 1/6

SO very handsome 🤩😻

Step 2: Look small and helpless (then strike down low) 😹

😹😻

Aw! Little Sneffles & Ferrata 🥹 Loved those interviews… think you’ll ever bring them back? (I know how much work they were… but so fun!)

Congrats on finding your forever home, little Clarence! 😻

Yukon & Peppermint are bonded siblings so will be adopted together! 🥳 I’m so happy they will stay together 😻

It’s such a bittersweet moment as a foster to let these little ones go after weeks or months together… but so happy they’ll be adored in their forever home!! 😊

Literally this expression: 😡

😹😹😹

A lovely 4 month old tabby kitten sits upright on a book. He has gorgeous swirls of black and tan medium length hair with perfect white accents on his paws, bib, and muzzle. Yukon will grow into a majestic fluffster! Photo owned by CatCareNetwork.org

SO HANDSOME 😻

Peppermint’s little worried face is a narrative goldmine 🥹😹 I just love her! 😻

You too, friend! Storms are definitely in full force tonight… take care!!
