Salty Animal Rescue

Every time I say we’re closed for intake, something like this comes up.

This mom and her 4 babes have been living outside in the Westdale area. The person whose yard she decided to bring her babies to reached out for help. There was lots of construction about to happen around the home, which made acting fast important.

Elaine, of course, saves the day, and we could only take these guys in because she stepped up to foster. Both she and the finders committed to helping with the cost of their care, which we are very grateful for. We are still on the struggle bus, and it always kills me to say no, but luckily this allowed us to say yes!

They were able to touch mom, so I told Elaine I thought it would be easy to get mama and hard to get the babies, but of course the opposite happened. They were able to hand-catch the 4 babies, but mom was stressing out and wasn’t able to be caught right away.

We always do our very best to make sure no mamas are left behind!

Today, Elaine took 2 of the babies to hopefully catch mom. It sounds like it was a bit of a mission and a big team effort from some neighbours, but they got her!

The family has been reunited at Elaine’s, and they are so happy to be back together. The babies are a little hissy, but we know they’ll be love bugs in no time.

They will never again add to the endless population of cats and kittens trying to survive outside.

They aren’t available for adoption just yet, as it’s only the beginning of their rescue journey, but we will let everyone know once that time comes!

Your support and donations are the only way we can continue helping lives like this.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make their lives better.

The best is yet to come!
