Summary: This issue shares the reality of rescue at capacity, the impact of reaching 70 cats in foster care, heartfelt wins and losses, messages from our founder, and stories of cats who survived because people stepped up when it mattered most.
Content: This newsletter offers an honest look at life inside a rescue operating beyond capacity. Fat Cat Rescue shares what it means to care for cats and kittens when space, fosters, and resources are stretched thin, and why the decision to keep saying yes is never taken lightly.
You’ll read about reaching 70 cats and kittens in foster care in one year, ongoing medical cases like Shaggy, and the role fosters, volunteers, and donors play in making rescues possible. A message from founder Kaye Larsen reflects on heartbreak, resilience, and the strength of community, with special recognition of Leo and Nike as powerful reminders of hope.
The issue also honors cats lost this year, including longtime residents Batman and Fiona, and provides thoughtful guidance on coping with pet loss and grief. Stories of adult cats ready for homes, upcoming events, and continued calls for fosters and volunteers reinforce how every act of support helps save lives.
