In honor of this cozy little holiday, our very own Mocha is stepping in as today’s “purr-ista.” This handsome tabby has perfected the art of slow blinks, warm cuddles, and bringing just the right amount of sweetness to our sanctuary. Stay caffeinated, stay cozy, and give Mocha a little love today!  Every fall, we have a cleaning day in which old straw is removed from the cat shelters, cat shelters are cleaned (if necessary) and fresh straw is added. Additional straw is added in some areas to provide more warm spots to prep for the cold winter. This can be quite a task for just a couple people, but we had the ECU Synergy Squad team out and they did a great job!  Baker heard that our friends at FuRRR were letting their kitties have fun with buckets and he wanted to join them.
 This post is long overdue. Last month a long time supporter saw we needed litter and sent ALL OF THIS !! This was enough to get us through almost a full month. We are so very grateful for this seriously generous donation.
They are now challenging other supporters to send in just one litter each month! Will you help us ? It's only $33 !!

Sponsors: Anchalee Thai Restaurant in Winterville, NC Adams & Associates in Bath, NC Today was a fantastic day. ECU students from the Experiential Leadership class, taught by Holly Winkler, came out to the sanctuary to help with an enrichment project - adding cat shelving to the walls! All six student volunteers came with enthusiasm and ready to work. This project increased the amount of spacing accessible to the cats - giving them additional spots to hang out, sleep, and improve their jumping skills. Thank you to the ECU Synergy Squad for coming out! Our cats were immediately taking advantage of the new shelving.  If you love baseball, then be sure to come see the Greenville Yard Gnomes game this Wednesday, July 23 at 11AM! You can grab your tickets in advance or get them at the door.
Paws and Love board members and volunteers will be running the concession stand. Swing by to see us for hotdogs, burgers, Chick-fil-A, pizza, popcorn, snacks and drinks! A portion of all concession sales (and 100% of tips!) will go directly to support our rescue efforts. So come hungry, bring your friends, and cheer on the Gnomes while helping a great cause! We hope to see you there! Be sure to share and spread the word. The more who join, the more we'll raise!  I was out Thursday night when I got a call from one of our volunteers. Her friend had been feeding a stray cat named Mona. Mona hadn’t shown up for a couple of days... and when she finally did, she was in horrifying shape. She had a massive gash on her abdomen — one of the worst injuries I’ve ever seen on a living cat. Despite the pain, despite the trauma, Mona was still caring for her five newborn babies. Nursing them. Protecting them. Fighting to survive. By the time we got the call, maggots had already moved in. Of all sizes. The wound was wide open. And yet she was *still* being a mama. The caretaker was able to safely get her kittens, and then Mona, on Thursday evening. I picked them all up first thing Friday morning and rushed Mona to the vet. They immediately began working on her. Mona was hooked up to IV fluids and IV antibiotics and placed in isolation. The vet said she would need to be hospitalized for several days and will likely require multiple surgeries to remove the dead and infected tissue. The damage is so extensive they couldn’t even determine where the original wound began or what caused it. This is one of the most heartbreaking cases we've taken on — and yet, Mona is still fighting. And now, we fight for her. Please consider donating toward Mona’s care. Every dollar helps. Website: pawsandlove.net/donate Venmo: pawsandlove Sharing this post also helps more than you know.
