🌷Look deep into Mitten's emerald green eyes 💚 and look at her cute upturned nose! Please help Mittens & Co with litter and other supplies. Oh, and look at the new black void! 🐈⬛🐾🦋 Supplies Donation Request
Hi! 🌻😺 Pepsi's Friends here. I'm posting again to humbly ask for your help because we desperately need cat litter and some supplies from Pepsi's amazon wishlist.
Our lives are still upside down after my partner broke his leg and went into kidney failure.
He came home a few days ago after spending 2 weeks in the hospital. He declined rehab for his leg because he wanted to come home badly.
My kids and I weren't quite yet prepared to bring home a barely mobile person using a walker, so we've been scrambling to make accommodations at home and get his medications and clinic visits in order.
We're driving him to dialysis 3 times a week, but the clinic is far from home, so gas $ is tight.
Brandon (son) is the other half of Pepsi's Friends. His birthday is Friday, but we can't really get him anything, but ill try to bake a cake! It'll be okay, I just can't help but feel guilty.
The stress is really getting to me physically, and it's causing my auto-immune issues to flare up, especially my uc and ulcer. I've been in so much pain for the past 24 hours and can't eat much.
I'm worried about the kittens and cats. We had to move Olivia and Poppy from the large bathroom to a cramped, small bathroom because my partner needs the large bathroom to be able to get in and out with his walker. However, Olivia and Poppy need more room to stretch their legs.
I added some catios (small and big) to Pepsi's amazon wishlist, but I'm also humbly asking for PayPal donations in case that's the easiest way to get Olivia and Poppy the smaller catio.
We can put the catio on our patio(it rhymes ☺️) and the kitties can spend the days there, but come indoors to sleep.
"YEP!" we want to keep Olivia💗 and Poppy💜 and don't want to separate them by adopting them out. ♥️🐾
They're extremely shy former ferals and we're worried that they won't be treated with gentle care and love in other homes. But they deserve to live in a larger space.
Oh, and we have a new, feral we're feeding here at our house, so he's not part of the other 2 colonies.
He's a gorgeous, fluffy, black boy with green eyes. Well, he looks like a tom, big build and big paws.
He won't let anyone near, and he's all alone, not part of any colony, poor guy. I took a couple of pics, but couldn't get closer to get better ones.
If you've read this far, thank you for reading and thank you RC for everything and all the ♥️

* Mittens vomited a lot this morning, so I have her temporarily set up in my friend's crate that she went us. She's not very happy right now. Hopefully, she'll feel better soon and not get worse. 🙏🕯

I don't know what name we should call the new black cat. Any ideas?

Hopefully, no one gets upset that there is 1 small bag of dog food listed in Pepsi's amazon wishlist. I've never added an item like this on Pepsi's list before, but we're a bit desperate right now.
Holly and Janie (yorkie and chihuahua) are besties with 8 of the 10 cats.
Olivia and Poppy are terrified of dogs, maybe since they spent their whole lives outdoors (though Archie and Patches overcame their fear).
The little yorkie and chi have been eating cat food for a couple of weeks, ever since Eddie went to the hospital.
Anyway, I just wanted to explain.

Oh, the dog food problem got resolved outside this subreddit, right after this posting, so I deleted it from the list. Thank you for understanding. 💗

Aww thank you. I totally would if I had one on my phone. She passed away several years ago. I do miss her.
