Update on abandoned Mama and Kittens. Mama cat has been found! If you don't remember their story, Mama and babies were dumped out of a car in the middle of the night at a local business. The Mama Cat was so confused that she tried to follow her owners car, and she hadn't been seen since. Well, Mama got into the venting system where she was dumped! They were able to pull her out yesterday ❤️ At first, we were worried it wasn't her because we had put the video through our editing software and slowed it down to get a better idea of what she looked like. We knew we were looking for a dilute tortie, and the first images we saw of her she looked like a silver tabby. Low and behold, once we got a better look at her back, she is a dilute tortie with a little tabby face 😭 Mama was missing for a full month and is so terribly thin now. What is the most heartbreaking is she is so incredibly sweet. Mama is currently at the vet. She has lost a substantial amount of weight and we were worried about dehydration. Overall, she looks good, though. Doctor did confirm that she has recently been nursing, but her milk has almost completely dried up. She will get to be reunited with some of her babies tomorrow (we have 2 we are fostering in-house at the rescue). We are so incredibly grateful to the business owner and staff for never giving up on her. Officially meet Venti ❤️ Stay tuned for updates.

Odyssey Update! Our beautiful boy is at the vet again today. He is getting his long-awaited neuter surgery and will be having his nose lanced. We are hopeful that he has fluid in his nose that can be drained and promote faster healing. Wish big man luck 🤞 We will have an update once he's home.

When we rescued Hope she was so weak, we didn't think she would survive. She was cold to the touch and couldn't stand up or walk around. We got her into the incubator, warmed her up, gave her subq fluids, and had to tube feed her. She started to gain strength, but we were still worried about her as she was fighting an Upper Respiratory Infection. She ended up making a full recovery and grew to be the most loving and confident kitten. Yesterday, she traveled over 2100 miles to Toronto, Canada, to be with her new family ❤️ She is going to be so loved and have the best happily ever after with her Mom, Dad, and Cat Siblings (which includes our previous rescues, Thalia and Jupiter). You can follow her in her forever home @jupithecalicat

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Santana passing. Our beautiful boy taught us so much in the short time he was with us. He gave us so much knowledge about feline cancer, and his spirit and will to fight taught us that cats can have a great quality of life even with a terminal diagnosis. Today, we are doing a $2 Santana challenge. If anyone is able to donate $2, it will go towards our cat ranch. We are getting closer every day to making the ranch and reality, and we can not even imagine how many more lives we will be able to save. If all of our followers donated $2, we would be able to get the Ranch already ❤️ At our ranch, we will have a hospice center named after Santana, where we will offer care to cats with a terminal diagnosis. We miss you so much, Tanny Boy ❤️

Andrea Update! We rescued Andrea from a local colony of cats. She had been wandering around for a tube stuck in her neck for weeks 💔 She was scared and hadn't had much human contact before. She's been with us for 7 months, and it took about 6 for he to start trusting us. Now, she is the most loving and affectionate girl ❤️ Andrea has beautiful Turkish Van markings with her solid colored tail and spotted head 😍 She's officially available for adoption. If you're interested in adoptiple Andrea please fill out an adoption application by visiting the link in our bio @catsofsanbernardino

New Rescue Alert! We got a message today from a lady who heard meowing and found a lone kitten hiding against a fence. The finder was waiting to see if the mom would come back to get her, but she never did. We were apprehensive about going out to rescue in the current fire/weather conditions with the San Bernardino fire, but then we got a flash flood warning. We knew she wouldn't survive a flood, and we went out to get her. She is the so tiny 😭 She is safe and in our care. She will be at the vet tomorrow for her upper respiratory infection. We are currently bottle feeding her as she hasn't figured out solid food yet. We have been having the weirdest, craziest weather. The 108° temperature mixed with the fire has created its own weather system, along with earthquakes. We have been getting thunder and lightning with over 3700 lightning strikes yesterday. We have decided to name her Bolt ⚡️ Stay tuned for updates.

It's Vet Day Friday! Beautiful Mama Creekside is in for her yearly health check and shave down/spa day. Kevin is in for his amputation surgery. He will be bloodwork today, surgery tomorrow, and recovering at the vet through the weekend. Hope is in for some of her vaccines yo get ready for her travels to Canada. Elliott, one of our rescues from Popeyes, had been adopted, and he's in for his neuter surgery. Last but not least is a colony kitty we are helping to get spayed Please consider becoming a monthly donor so that we can continue our life-saving work. Without you, none of this would be possible.

The ladies you see in this video are two of our favorite vet techs @arrowviewanimalhospital_ They help with all the life saving work.

Introducing Mama Venti ❤️ Venti is the sweet Mama that was abandoned with her kittens outside of a local business. She wasn't contained and was so scared she disappeared for a month 💔 Luckily, she was found, but she is very thin and has coccidia. She is being treated with antibiotics. We tried reintroducing Mama to her babies, but she isn't interested in them right. She is so hungry that's all she can focus on. We will be letting them hang out more together once she has a bit less food trauma. More updates to come 🤗

New Rescue Alert! We were called about a litter of kittens living in debris outside of someone's garage. The area was hard to navigate because there was so much clutter, and the kittens were so small they could fit behind and under almost everything. We played the sound of kittens meowing and were able to lure them out one by one... They were so tiny!! Unfortunately, one of their siblings was found deceased 💔 We were concerned about panleukopenia and brought them in to get tested. One of the babies came back as weak positive, which broke our hearts because kittens their age almost never survive the infection. We ended up hospitalizing them so they could be retested in the morning. We also got a PCR test sent out for more conclusive results. Luckily, the little monsters all tested negative in the morning, and a few days later, the PCR game back negative as well 🤗 This rescue was a few weeks ago now, and they have been hanging out and growing with their foster Mama @gatitoastas We have named these kittens the Vampire Diaries litter. We have Damon, Stefan, and Elena. These sweeties are all available for preadoption. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application by visiting the link in our bio @catsofsanbernardino We got information on Mama cat from the property owners and she will be TNR'd. No more kittens for this little lady. Speaking of TNR, the weather should be changing soon. We are currently still at 105° but that can't last forever. As soon as we get a break in the heat, we will continue our live TNR on Thursdays. We hope you all will join us on the lives 🤗
