My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Casper was turned out by his people and while left outside was attacked by animals and treated not well by people who he tried to seek safety with. Finally a good sam got him to the vet to care for his many wounds. He was pretty shut down - would hide and close his eyes when he was petted, just waiting for the hurt to come. He has learned that people can be good and would love a purrson that can be understanding of his history and know that he needs time to feel safe - but the snuggles when he does are worth every single minute of patience. Although the physical wounds have healed, Casper has some scars and definitely mental scars as well as having been gifted with FIV during one of the many brutal attacks on him. What does that mean for him and you - not a lot. Make sure he gets the same love and care that you would any cat and check out the deets about the much understood FIV at https://fivcats.com/. FIV cats can live with non FIV cats - as he does now. He is not an aggressive fellow which is how FIV is shared (a deep in the muscle bite) but with any new cats meeting regardless of FIV status we strongly urge a slow and easy introduction.

Cats are more like us than we think. Much like you would not like being tossed in a room with your future mate and told to be BFF's stat, cats too like to know that their new pal is not serial killer before letting their guard down. And if you are looking for a cat with his own emotional support cat - Linus loves Casper and helps him feel brave. Linus is super outgoing and that type of chill, unbothered personality helps to draw out Casper.

More about this rescue

A Winning Team

We are a small group of animal lovers who are working together to help facilitate Trap Neuter Release and medical care for animals in need. We are here to help each other help the animals and to partner with businesses, rescues and groups to make the biggest impact.

Our History

Mia (known as “Murderous Mia”) is a rescue cat who came to her mom as a hospice foster with many medical issues. She has overcome a lot of health concerns and in her journey, met a lot of human pals (many of whom are a little frightened of her angsty 4 pd person). She and her pals decided that they wanted to help animals in need. So a group of her people joined together to help do Trap Neuter Release (TNR) to lessen the population and suffering of animals and help cover costs of care for animals in need (dogs, cats, birds... Mia insists on not being specist). She invites all those who want to find a way to help to join her mafia. Her only rules are: 1. the animals come first 2. everyone supports each other and 3. no drama remain calm. The goal is to have fun while we all work together to make life better for the ones we can help.

Animals Are Our Mission

We focus on keeping things positive and supporting each other so that we can be at our best to do the most good for the animals. We strive to collaborate with others and encourage our team to come up with new and better ideas of ways to help and to run with those ideas.
