Sometimes (like today) i heard him just crying at the door waiting for Anne to open it 😭😭😭 i wish i could save him but this is his home. Hes knows the hood he knows his home. He just doesnt know where his mom is or why she wont let him in and it really really hurts my heart to be aware of the situation for him and not be able to tell him

“He’s snuggled up on a big comfy blanket in my bathroom while we wait for all the fleas and ticks to succumb to the treatment,” she said.

He received vaccinations and tested negative for AIDS and leukemia, but does have arthritis, some dental issues, and potential kidney disease, which will be monitored and treated by the rescue team.

But Tiggy’s future is looking hopeful: “Depending on his blood work, if he’s OK for anesthesia, we’ll try to raise money for his dental treatment,” Alexander said.

She explained that Tiggy may be rehomed depending on his health.

“He’s very sweet and would do well in a quiet home without children,” she said. “If we don’t find an appropriate home, I’m more than happy to make him a permanent resident at my house.”

In 2023, 6.5 million animals entered U.S. shelters, according to Shelter Animals Count, up 4 percent when compared to 2022 intakes. Of 2023 shelter intakes, 48 percent were stray, 18 percent were transfers from other shelters, 25 percent were relinquished by owners and 9 percent fell into an “other” category.

A rescue that runs on volunteers and donations, All Fur Love usually only performs TNR (trap, neuter, release) and rescues kittens, but they never turn away a cat in need like Tiggy.

“Every penny goes to the animals,” Alexander said. “We feed over 100 sterilized colony, community, and sanctuary cats daily. We depend solely on the generosity of our donors and supporters.”
