🚨 Team Instagram Account Suspended 🚨

We want to inform you that our Instagram account has been temporarily suspended—not because of any content we posted, but due to a supposed violation on another account managed by our social media team.

To be clear:
👉 This violation has nothing to do with Kingdom Elite Racing.
👉 This is the first time we’ve ever seen Meta (Facebook/Instagram) take down multiple, unrelated accounts—six in total—for a single, alleged issue on one account.

We’ve filed an appeal and are actively working to resolve the issue. However, review times can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks.

In the meantime, we’ll keep posting updates and sharing our mission through other channels. Thank you for your patience, prayers, and continued support. We’ll be back on IG soon.

Today, we said goodbye to our sweet Jazzy after nearly 20 years. She spent her days ruling the house in her own way—curled up in her favorite spots, soaking up the sun, and making sure all the other fur kids knew she was the real queen around here.

Watching her slow down these past few months was really hard, but we’re grateful she’s finally at peace. The house won’t be the same without her, but she gave us so much love and so many memories that will stay with us forever.

Rest easy, Jazzy girl. You were so loved.
