UPDATE 4/21/25: Several of these sweet kitties have been adopted, we still have many more that are ready to find their purrfect families! You can visit Johnny, Allie, Hans, Brenda and Beth at PetSmart! Otto, Church, Patsy, Courtney and Anna are at ARC! We dare you not to fall in love!!!
UPDATE 3/9/25: These kitties were starving, devouring their food and water, even to the point of vomiting from over-eating. However, as they realize that there is no scarcity of food, they are starting to calm down and eat more normally. They are starting to show their purrsonalities and lovable side! Our rescuers are getting compensated for their efforts in the best way!!!
Yesterday was an eventful day for ARC. ARC volunteers responded to a situation where more than 15 cats were abandoned in a home months ago. Our team drove out to a neighboring county to assess the situation and rescue as many kitties as possible. Most of the cats were friendly and VERY hungry, coming out immediately for food and human interaction. Our team was able to place eight cats in carriers and then trap two more using humane live-traps. Unfortunately, several kitties were found already deceased on the property, but we were able to rescue nearly all in one day. We have at least two more to trap over the next few days, and we are working with the community to get that done.
Once back at ARC, the kitties were processed for intake, including being separated by sex, treated for fleas, worms and ear mites, and given any other treatment as needed. At least one female is suspected to be pregnant, and only one male is neutered. That means we have at least nine spay/neuter surgeries in our very near future!
Our Friday staff reported that these kitties completely finished the food and water we left them overnight! However, they will learn over the next few days that food and water is abundant here at ARC (thanks to all our amazing supporters!!!). The future of these kitties is bright, they all seem friendly, even if they are a little unsure of their current situation. As you can see, some of the boys are taking comfort in each other while they decompress!
