SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE - MARCH - 2026
SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE Mona Update! Ms. Mona has exciting news! As you know, from her previous story, Mona was a fairly neglected community cat, resigned to delivering litter after litter, then watching her babies fall victim to a cruel world…until our foster mom tossed on her super hero cape. Mona’s story appears below for reference, and was published in our October Newsletter. She turned out not to be a feral girl, just a reserved one. Through extensive interviewi

WAGGIN' TAILS MARCH 2026 DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS – 3/8/26 HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY HAPPY PURIM Dear Friends & Members: Let’s start off with some good news. A judge, Jeffrey Harris in Winnipeg Canada, sentenced a pair of animal abusers to 12 years in prison for torturing, and killing animals. The sad part is that it involved over 90 animals. I can’t understand how twisted so many people are. At least it is a start to put these sub-humans away, whe

FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER - MARCH - 2026
FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER As we move forward into the year 2026, I find myself reflecting on a rescue on Christmas of 2026. The smell of rotting leftovers, and the damp of a Florida December shouldn’t be the first memory of a kitten‘s Christmas, but for one little Family, the dumpster behind a local Burger King/Wawa gas station was the only home they knew. Mama, a surprisingly, gentle soul despite her circumstances. She did her best to kee

FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER - FEBRUARY - 2026
FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER Meet Tigger! This cute little kitten was lost in an apartment complex parking lot, with no microchip. Flyers were put all over the neighborhood, but no one called to claim him. He wasn’t neutered, but was super friendly, which was a blessing. It makes life so much easier when they’re friendly. He was neutered, and all his shots were done by Save Our Strays and he is ready for a forever home. I discovered he wasn’t interested in tiny lit

SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE - FEBRUARY - 2026
SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE STATE FARM BABIES We received a call from our Veterinary Clinic in South Carolina. A client reported 2 young kittens under a dumpster at a local State Farm office. The Kittens were shy, and ran away when approached and the entire area is setting up for a massive winter event with sleet, freezing rain and plummeting temps. Keeping in mind that a minor winter event paralyzes the South, we knew that we needed to reach out to a savvy trapper to g

SOUTH CAROLINA - JANUARY - 2026
SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE Spike’s Story We received a call from one of our South Carolina Veterinary clinics. Two kittens found, and brought in by Good Samaritan - siblings, one hale and healthy and the other a pathetic huddle of weary, sick fur covered bones. Finders did not have any experience in caring for, or nursing along, a baby this ill. When our veterinarian called to explain the situation, we, of course, stepped up. The healthy kitten went home with her f

As we start the New Year, you may consider adopting a kitten or cat to join your family. Cooper came from a pregnant, friendly, sweet cat that was left behind at an apartment complex.

I was told that she had been there for a while, and decided to go and help to rescue her. She had no microchip, so we put flyers up and contacted rescues, but no one claimed her.

FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER
FLORIDA RESCUE RANGER - November - 2025 Meet Glory! The late afternoon sun beat down on the shimmering asphalt of a Home Depot parking lot. A tiny, terrified three month old calico kitten was huddled up against a stack of mulch behind the building. This was Glory terrified. With a coat of color that was faint, like a sunset, matching the mulch and the concrete, she was difficult to see. I heard her small meows, as I was out feeding a colony of feral cats. Glory was dri

Imagine your eyes being infected so badly that they crust completely over, rupture and your world slowly gets smaller and smaller as your sight fades. Survival now becomes impossible, from difficult. Helen was found hiding under someone’s shed - thin, hungry and dehydrated. Both e
