Bandit
Update on Bandit: Ready for Adoption!
We are delighted to announce that Bandit, the gentle Snowshoe Siamese who made his way to Clowder 9 Ranch back in March 2024, has now completed his journey toward adoption readiness. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our team, Bandit has smoothly transitioned to a diet rich in high-protein content and is now receiving meticulously managed insulin injections. At present, he has successfully moved into the next phase of his care plan - the "management" stage. Moving forward, Bandit's care regimen will consist of a simple routine encompassing a high-protein diet, bi-daily insulin injections, and scheduled veterinary check-ups every 3 to 6 months to ensure his continued well-being. Those interested in offering Bandit a loving and caring forever home are encouraged to get in touch with us to learn more about this affectionate feline's story and how to make him a part of their family.
Bella
This middle-aged lady arrived at C9R in early January 2024, following her rescue from a colony of cats residing behind a local business. While not exhibiting feral behavior, she expressed gratitude for the safe haven and nourishment provided. Post-rescue, it became evident that she struggled with persistent diarrhea, likely contributing to her underweight condition. Our approach included a thorough faecal analysis for parasites, anthelmics for any worms, and a diet consisting of limited ingredients along with probiotics for digestive support. Additionally, various protozoal antibiotics have been administered with varying results. Despite fluctuations in her condition, she is steadily gaining weight and flourishing under our care, emphasizing the importance of patience in her recovery.
Due to Bella's ongoing condition, which is presently managed but unfortunately not cured, she remains under the attentive care of our sanctuary program. Unless or until we successfully match her with the perfect person who understands her unique needs, Bella will continue to receive all the love, care, and specialized treatment necessary to ensure she remains happy, healthy, and forever cherished.

Ready for Adoption!
Life wasn’t always easy for these little nuggets and their mommas, but thanks to some very kind, generous, and loving people, they have been saved and given a second chance. In May 2024, a kind man driving a milk truck at a dairy found three momma cats and their eleven newborn kittens, all in pretty rough shape. He took it upon himself to bring them home, where his wife prepared a safe haven for the feline family.
Cozy blankets were set up for the cats to recover, and nutritious food was provided to help the mothers regain strength for their growing kittens. Sadly, one mother and a tiny kitten did not survive the complications of pregnancy and birth. This tragedy highlights the difficulties that many stray animals endure. Without this caring family, the remaining cats would likely have faced similar suffering. Instead, their kindness has given the surviving mothers and their kittens a chance to thrive in a loving home where they can heal and grow.
Our first task was to ensure the well-being of these mothers by arranging for their spaying. Thanks to grant funding from the Pet Lover’s grant, we completed this successfully. We are pleased to report that these mothers are now enjoying their well-deserved retirement.
After caring for the kittens for months, we’re happy to share that four of the ten have found homes. The six still looking for families are Mochi, Annabelle, Olaf, Atticus, Binx, and Aria. If you'd like to adopt one of these cute kittens, please contact us or fill out our online adoption application for more information.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the funding we received, all of these kitties have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for any internal and external parasites. Having been raised around dogs, other cats, children, and various people, they are well-socialized and poised to make wonderful additions to loving homes.
