Handsome Claudius, only half awake. ❀️ He's one of our TNR boys, and usually his eyes look light blue more than green. Special little guy.

It has been too hot and I have been too tired. But here's a Chessie blep. πŸ™‚

Excuse me, The X-files LEGO build won?!!! πŸ˜ƒ That is so cool! www.ign.com/articles/a-l...

Lollerskates. (#eldermillenial) The cardiology office never sent my PCP office their notes, so I guess I'm glad I followed up. She's going to have them sent over since I'm sure that would help her decide what her recommendations are! πŸ™ƒ

Human brains are ridiculous. I've always known I do poorly in the heat, but literally just having a doctor say, "Yeah, you seem to have some degree of orthostatic intolerance, be careful in this upcoming heatwave," unlocked my brain enough to be, "Hey for real Gryph, let's Actively Do Less Things."

I have finally successfully captured the happy Hamlet single snaggle toofer. ❀️

Welcome to your Hot Cat Summer. πŸ˜† (Video: An ear tipped black cat and a small calico cat are splayed out on my brown carpet. They're mildly perturbed at each other's existence, but only willing to spend minimal energy swatting at each other without getting up.)

Very smol criminal escapee this morning! She has since been caught and placed back with her siblings. ❀️

Tubby lil Darby Daggers PointedTail sleeping and showing of the black spots on his full belly. He’s an angel when awake but a special angel when asleep. #Cats #Kitten

Tonight is a night to listen to Hozier very loud. I don't want to give too many details, but we helped someone identify a deceased pet today. I'm okay, and obviously it was hardest for the owner, but that's also very heavy on our side. I'm glad we could at least help give closure and compassion. ❀️

Chessie is not really my pet. She is a strong independent TNR/porch/barn cat, lol. But, if you've seen the pic of her as an angry baby? This pic is of my first breakthrough with her, and the first time any of us touched her without her trying to bite. ❀️ Post a picture of when your pet was little

Had a request for a Chessie update and that's REAL easy to get me to do, lol. Chessie beans!

Omg precious tiny tator tot! Who apparently has a couple broken leggies, but is otherwise doing just fine. I wouldn't even have guessed. ❀️

Tiny criminals. ❀️ Jail for too cute.

"But why...?" Because helping animals and the people who love them is The Thing I Can Do For My Local Community. Because doomscrolling doesn't actually fix anything. Because posting pictures of the animals I work with is The Thing I Can Do For My Online Community.

Welp, today I had to net a feral cat for the first time. Indoors, poor guy got loose while someone scanned for a microchip - he was injured so it was especially important to catch him before he hurt himself more. πŸ™ Glad we HAVE the net, I'm sure that was the safest/least stressful way this time.

I like the derpy looking one in the middle. ^_^

There are either six or seven kittens in each of these kennels. Normally we'd split them up, they need more space. But we are very full, and all 13 came in together. πŸ™ƒ Please spay/neuter, and if you feed community cats get them TNR'd!
