Lyra taking a Sunday afternoon nap to the next level 😂 She was adopted three weeks ago. Can you tell she's super comfy in her new home?

Filly's not sure how she feels about getting a bath 😆

Who needs cats or dog beds when you have a box 😉

Banana would like to let everyone know that he is feeling much better! It took a week of meds and syringe feeding to get him to finally eat on his own, but he now devours the wet food he gets three times a day. His energy level is also back to where it should be for a kitten his age.

Feed me! Colt and Filly are about six weeks old now. They want to eat all the time and are going through 4 cans of kitten food each day! Would anyone like to send some food their way? It would be much appreciated. Wish lists can be found on our website, www.ogafil.org

Scentsy is having a big sale & our wonderful friend, Bernice, decided to run a fundraiser for us. 25% of all purchases will be donated to One Goal! Want to try them or need to restock on your faves? Shop now and help us raise some money! Sale ends 5/27. bernicehomel.scentsy.us/party/191191...

How many cats can comfortably fit in a small crate? Looks like the answer is four.

Filly has been one of the most difficult kittens I have ever taken care of. From completely covering herself in food while eating, to peeing and pooping anywhere but the litter box, she has been more work than some large litters. At least she doesn't mind getting baths 😸

Meet Banana. I received a call from the people taking care of him and his littermates that he wasn't eating and was lethargic. After going to check on him, I decided to take him home with me to try to get him better. He's very weak, with a classic triangle face indicating malnutrition.

Happy Mothers Day! Filly tried wet food this morning, and well, it appears she is a huge fan. The girl is something else 😸 Colt had absolutely no interest in it, so it will probably be a couple of days before he joins in the messy fun.

Blaze enjoying the afternoon sun. Blaze is my personal cat. He was the one that got me started in cat rescue, after I pulled him from animal control as a very sick 6-week-old kitten. Prior to that, I only rescued dogs.

Happy Cinco De Mayo from Star! I'm surprised she let me put the little sombrero on to take this photo. Star is still looking for a family of her own.

Even though we're sick, we're still super cute. Babies are currently on three different meds for diarrhea, and an antibiotic for the upper respiratory issue. They are starting to eat a bit better and have gained a little weight. Filly (girl) on the left & Colt (boy) on the right.

Picked up these two from transport earlier today. They are thought to be about 3 weeks old. Lighter brown is a boy and darker brown is a girl. Both are dehydrated, the girl has an upper respiratory issue, and the boy has bad diarrhea. Started them on different meds. Hoping they'll be better soon.

Kind of a bittersweet day today. My bottle babies went to a new foster home with another rescue. Feels a little weird walking into the bathroom and not having them climb up my legs or play with my shoelaces. Took these picks before I dropped them off. Aren't they adorable?

Lyra is ready to find her very own humans. She is an 8-month-old Siamese/Tabby mix and a total sweetheart. Lyra has very unusual eyes. They are only partially blue, and the rest is colorless. Does anyone else's kitty have this feature?

First solid food meal was a success! Did you know that kittens tremble when they eat meat for the first time?

When a roll of toilet paper is the best seat in the house 😂

Kittens on the loose! They are 4-weeks-old now. They got to leave the box they were in and are taking over the bathroom. Next up...trying solid food.

💰💰 $5.00 FOR LITTER 💰💰 Hi friends, we have an opportunity to purchase clumping cat litter for $5 per 20lbs. We have to personally go to the store to get this price, which we will do tomorrow. Can you donate $5 to help us get a lot? The kitties will be so grateful. PayPal.me/ogafil

My bottle babies are starting to look like kittens. They are a little over three weeks old. I haven't named them because they're going to another rescue, but I keep thinking her name should be Sia.

When you're big and fluffy, you get used as a pillow 😹 #rescuelife

Paco is looking for a home to call his own! This 11-month-old boy is seriously perfect. Sweet, outgoing, and playful. Paco is fully vetted and ready to join your family. Located in Shorewood, Illinois.

Here's your Sunday dose of cuteness 😍

My two week old bottle babies say "let us out of here, evil woman"! I've had these two girls for over a week now, since they were 7 days old. I'm a little sleep deprived. More kitten photos and videos coming.

Tried to trap this momma cat for weeks before she had her babies. She would go halfway into the trap, and then back out. Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to wrangle this semi-feral girl to give her kittens a better life. Who knows, maybe mom will surprise us and end up being friendly herself.

Cary (Grant) found himself a home before I even got a chance to post him. This sweet boy will have a family with two kiddos to love him. He will also have two canine friends to hang out with. He met everyone yesterday, and other than being a little weary of being in a new place, did great.

#happycaturday from the tabby kitten crew! Marilyn, Cary, Clark, Lana, and Crysta.

Handsome Clark is available for adoption. He is the sweetest affectionate, outgoing, and playful 5-month-old boy. Another young cat in his new home would be ideal. Or he can be adopted together with one of his littermates. Located in Tinley Park, IL

This is the kind of cooperation I get when I'm trying to take adoption photos. Anyone looking for a wild child to add to their family?

Jan is still looking for her very own humans. This 7-year-old girl is the most loving and attentive kitty that craves constant human contact. An adult only home would be her dream come true. Jan also wants to be an only cat, as she finds other cats to be a nuisance. Dogs are okay by her, though.

At the vet with Fuzzball to get his rabies vaccine updated because he's going home today! He wasn't all too pleased about being at the vet, but did amazing for a former feral cat. I'm so proud of him 🥰

Even with child safety locks on the kitchen cabinets, the little rascals here managed to break into one overnight. They helped themselves to four avocados and whatever was left of a loaf of Italian bread. They are all free to a good home 😝 (just kidding).

Sometimes you have to wait a very long time for the perfect home. But when you find it, it's like you've lived there your entire life. Penny has waited 2 yrs & 5 mos to find her people. We're told she's acclimated well. She loves her Labrador sister & follows her around the house. We are so happy!

Meet Cadence, our little FIP warrior. Cadence was treated for FIP in the beginning of 2023. She did great until about three weeks ago, when she had a relapse. Bloodwork showed severe anemia and her hind legs were paralyzed. We started treatment right away. She's wobbly, but able to walk again.

Kittens will kitten. Until Clark decides "enough of this nonsense"!
