On this exact day, two years ago, we trapped 9 cats for TNR. Those 9 cats stopped the birth of 108 kittens from being born onto the streets that year. It is amazing to look back and see how many lives we have saved and changed. I guess we don't realize how much of an impact we have made and continue to make until we sit down and actually start to think about it. We hope we have inspired many people to also take action and help their local feral colonies. This was a memory that came up on our Google.

We were messaged about some kittens that had been born in an old car in someone's backyard. The Mama did such a good job and kept her babies warm and dry despite the rain we had been having. We were able to quickly get Mama into a carrier and then got her 5 babies. She had hidden them underneath the seat, and they were all plump and healthy. We have named Mama Aria and her Little Liars (The PLL Litter). Full intros on her babies coming soon. It looks like we are getting an early start to kitten season, and we are looking for fosters.

We were contacted by an apartment manager about some kitties that were left behind and dumped outside when her tenants moved out. Two adult cats and three kittens were left outside with 2 pillows in a boiler room. Unfortunately 2 of the kittens passed away before we were contacted 💔. The weather has been cold and rainy and these poor kitties weren't used to being outside. The original rescue plea only mentioned the Mom cat and her baby but we immediately noticed another kitty that was outside. The other girl looked just like the Mama and had a matching collar. We wanted to be sure we werent taking someone else's cat so we asked around the apartment building and 3 of the tenants confirmed that our second adult cat had also been abandoned by the previous family. We knew we couldn't leave her behind so we scooped her up too. We were concerned about panleukopenia because Two of the kittens had passed away. We took all three kitties straight to the vet and had some testing done. They were all negative for panleukopenia and seem to be healthy overall, just starving. We have named them Bubbles (Baby), Blossom (Mom), and Buttercup (Mama cats sister). We are in need of fosters. We have had a lot of pleas for help recently but need more fosters.

We started TNR on a new Colony! We got 2 boys and 2 girls. We will be continuing and hopefully finishing the colony next week 💪 Our disclaimer about TNR Below: A little info about these cats for new folks to our page: All of the cats that were released have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They were returned to the same location where we caught them. They all have designated colony caretakers. Meaning they receive food and water every single day. Our caretakers look after these kitties and let us know if they ever need medical attention. We microchip the cats so that we can be notified if they ever come in to harms way. This would deam the area unsafe for future returns. This has never happened. These cats are not a harm to the very URBAN environment that we live in. They are not catching endangered birds. We are in the center of an urban city. If anyone is worried about the wildlife, please ask why humans decided to put a giant city in the center of it. These feral cats are a product of human ignorance and people not spaying and neutering their pets or believing cats are meant to live outside. These cats are feral, they cannot adopted and domesticating every feral is not an attainable solution. In the amount of time it would take to tame one feral, we could save countless friendly, adoptable cats. Anyone who has a negative opinion on TNR, please share with us what you're doing to fix the feral cat problem. And no, mass euthanasia doesn't work! #tnr #savinglives #catrescue #kitten #kittens #cat

Allow us to introduce you to Aura! While we are still learning about Aura, we understand she is a courageous warrior who fought for survival. She was attacked, possibly by a coyote or dog, resulting in injuries to her face and nose. We are grateful that her eyes were spared. We can only imagine the suffering she endured exposed to the elements, and struggling to find food. Aura is skin and bones but displays remarkable affection and gratitude despite missing part of her face. Upon seeing her photographs late last night, we felt compelled to rescue her. We were deeply emotional, and Jaina and I were speechless. We were astonished that such a small creature could persevere with such significant injuries. Little Aura will soon be under the care of our veterinarian for assessment and treatment. The extent of her medical care remains uncertain, but it will undoubtedly be a lengthy process. If you are able, please consider a donation to support her care, or perhaps a recurring monthly contribution to help us provide for her needs.

Highway 66, one of our freeway tunnel kitties, is STILL looking for his forever home. He is very sweet and loves people along with other cats. We first met Sixy (as a like to call him), sleeping in a shopping cart full of trash. We didn't end up rescuing him the first day we were in the tunnels but ended up getting him on day 3. He has so much more life in his striking green eyes now. He loves all of his little friends, including our doggie. If you're interested in adopting Sixy, please fill out an adoption application by visiting the link in our bio @catsofsanbernardino

Everest Update! This beautiful boy was attacked by dogs. He had a broken pelvis and broken leg. He is still going to need FHO surgery BUT hes already making strides in his recovery. When we first rescued him he wasn't able to stand, let alone walk. Now he walking around and even making small hops around his area. He a very happy boy and is going to make the best companion.

We got Aura's test results back, and he does have cancer 💔 We were so confident because of his other wounds that we were dealing with an injury. Our hearts are so broken for him. We are going to have to make the devastating decision to let him go. Today he is hanging out with us in the sun and we are letting him know how loved he is. He is on his good pain medication and eating the very best food. Thank you to everyone who donated towards his rescue and care. Your donations will go towards saving more lives, a new medical room door, and more isolation kennels for medical rescues.

Aura Update! Firstly Aura is a boy. We might change his name later but for now we will just be focusing on his healing. Overall he did really good at the vet. His wound doesn't look to be infected and he has nice healing new flesh. We are still waiting on test results to definitively rule out cancer and crypto but we are 99% sure its an injury. It looks like it happened around a month ago so he has been dealing with this injury alone on the streets for awhile 💔 The injuries to his legs look to be burns. The burnt areas are on the front/tops of his legs/feet which is really odd. Usually we would see burns to the bottoms of the feet from stepping on something hot. We aren't sure if all the injuries happened at the same time or if it was 2 separate events. This is one of those times we really wish our rescues could talk and tell us what happened. We do believe we will have more healing on the face and we will be promoting that healing with laser therapy. If the area is able to scar over he should be able to live a relatively normal life. All of his teeth and jaw and intake. He doesn't have any breaking or fractures and is able to eat and breathe without any issues. Aura is lucky to be alive. He has a long road ahead but we are hopeful he will make a full recovery. By that we mean that his wounds will heal and he won't be in pain. Thank you to everyone who donated towards his vet bills and care. We couldn't do this without your support. Stay tuned for updates.

New Rescue Alert! Yesterday we were out trying to rescue a really sick boy who has mange (who we have named Icon) when we came across this little guy with an injured leg. We didn't expect to find this little one but we knew as soon as we saw him that we had to get him help. We believe he has a broken hind left leg. He is currently at our vet getting a full diagnosis and we will have an update soon. Everyone voted on our live stream about what we should name him and the overwhelming consensus was Limp Biscuit 😅♥️ We have multiple people on the lookout for Icon and will be heading back out to try and rescue him.

Mama Aria and her little liars are doing amazing. Their little eyes are opening up and they are growing bigger and stronger 💪. Officially meet Hannah, Emily, Spencer, Alison, and Mandi 😍 We have 3 little brown tabby girls, and brown tabby boy, and a silver tabby girl ❤️ These sweeties are available for preadoption. If you're interested in preadopting please fill out an adoption application by visiting the link in our bio @catsofsanbernardino Please keep in mind these cuties won't be going home until they are old enough for their spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, etc

On the day we said goodbye to Aura we got called about a litter of kittens in the dumpster area at Auto Zone. Our hearts were aching but we knew we had to help them. The rescue was one of the easiest ever. The kittens were settled into a box and ready to go. We picked them up and then set a trap to get Mama. It only took a few hours for her to come around and go into the trap. We name the babies to honor Aura. We have Aubrey, Austin, Aurelia, August, and Mama Auto. The kittens are all available for preadoption. If you're interested in adopting please fill out an application by visiting the link in our bio @catsofsanbernardino
