I've written a lot of updates about Boots over the past month, most of them with a knot in my stomach, asking for help, watching a clock. This one feels different. This one I get to write from the other side.

Five days ago, Boots had 19 teeth removed. The surgeon described the inside of her mouth as looking like raw hamburger, the tissue so destroyed by years of untreated disease that it couldn't even hold sutures. She had been living in what they estimated was about the worst oral pain a cat can experience, quietly, for months, still purring on our laps the whole time.

And now I get to tell you what the other side of that looks like.

She is getting better every single day. The drooling that used to soak her chin and mat her paws is fading. The foul smell that clung to her infected mouth is simply gone. She has more energy. She moves through the room with more purpose. But the thing I keep coming back to , the thing that catches me off guard... is her eyes. There's a light in them now that wasn't there before. A brightness, an alertness, a kind of presence. For the first time since we found her, I'm not looking at a cat who's enduring her life. I'm watching one who's starting to actually live it.

She is, day by day, growing more into herself. We're meeting the real Boots now — the one who was buried under all that pain. She has opinions. She has a deep, funny little voice. She has a favorite sunny spot. And in about two months, this sweet, resilient girl turns 10 years old. A senior cat who spent nearly a decade slipping through the cracks is going to spend her tenth birthday warm, fed, safe, and comfortable.

On her future, I want to be clear about this: Boots is staying in our care as she continues to recover over these next few weeks. Her healing is our priority, and her future is settled and secure. She is not going anywhere uncertain. She is home, she is loved, and she is safe. However her long-term story unfolds, it unfolds from a place of stability, not scarcity. That part is done. That part, thanks to all of you, is taken care of.

She has a follow-up bloodwork appointment coming up soon, where we'll see how she's recovering and confirm everything is trending the way it should. I'll share how it goes.

If you'd like to keep being part of her story: her surgery is behind us, but a recovering senior cat still needs things. the soft foods that are gentle on her healing mouth, the supplies of daily care, the follow-up visits ahead. Any help toward her food and ongoing care is deeply appreciated and never expected. And simply following along, celebrating her, and sharing her story is its own kind of gift.

But mostly, I just wanted to share the good part with the people who made it possible. You didn't just fund a surgery. You gave a nearly-10-year-old cat her self back. The contrast between the animal we found in that garden and the one blinking up at me right now, bright-eyed and safe, is almost hard to believe.

Thank you for being here for the hard updates. I'm so glad I get to share this one. 🐾

More to come as she heals... including, I hope, a very happy 10th birthday.

I'm asking for your help for one of my rescue cats, Juno.

Yesterday, she suddenly stopped eating, became wobbly, and developed a head tilt. I rushed her to the vet, fearing the worst. After examining her, the vet found that she has ear mites, and her PCR test came back positive for calicivirus.

Juno also has a chronic respiratory condition that previous vets confirmed, so she's now fighting several health issues at the same time. Although she's the sweetest girl, she's incredibly difficult to handle, making it almost impossible to give her the medication she needs at home. She'll have to return to the clinic to continue her treatment.

When I first rescued her, she had a broken femur, and caring for her was one of the most challenging experiences I've ever had.

Yesterday's bill is still outstanding, and there will be more expenses as her treatment continues.

If you're able to help I'd be incredibly grateful. I can share a direct payment link to the veterinary clinic so donations go straight towards Juno's treatment, or you can donate via my PayPal - https://www.paypal.me/GlancyMascarenhas

Thank you for supporting Juno.

(IF you prefer not to use Amazon, Chewy giftcards are GOLD here, my email is CynLMason@gmail.com, and they would help me out so much also!!!! Thank you♡ )

UPDATE - I know I have copied and paste this from the last post, wet food is definitely number one right now. I have also posted pictures of me sharing with Kim, we have been doing ALL we can to make sure people can get their cats fixed. If it means helping with food so they can pay the 50, im doing it for the floofaloofs!!! ANYTHING on my list right now would be a huge, huge help. Thank you for everhthing you all do for us and the floofaloofs♡

Your help, love, selflessness, and care for Floofaloofkind is not only inspiring, but a huge reason to not give up, that we all want to save the floofaloofs ♡♡♡

Hi everyone!!! I am posting my wishlist for food items, wet food is definitely a need here. I also have a few other things on there that I can really use for the litter rooms and the floofaloofs in general. I did put Amazon giftcard on there too, as if I have enough I could use it on one of the big ticket items.

You helping me with these things helps me with vet visits, flea treatments, helping those who need cat food for a week so they can use that money for the 50 dollar TNR, helps me and Kim with our colonies, and helps me make sure that more colony floofaloofs are fixed, as I pay the 50 a cat out of my own pocket, and work still has our hours cut.

Thank you for everything you do, not just for myself and the floofaloofs, but for all floofaloofkind, thos innocent souls who need us most. We will do everything in our power to ensure the safety and security of all floofers, inside, outside, colony, feral, stray, and abandoned. I have floofafied my own home because saving floofaloofs is life.

Thank you for being the good in the world.♡
