The Forgotten Field Project Update For days, we tried. Night after night, Priya returned to the field with traps, hoping to finally bring the rest of the kittens from the second family group to safety. But rescue rarely goes according to plan. If it wasn't torrential sheets of rain sending the kittens deep into the bramble bushes for shelter, it was a determined band of marauding raccoons staging midnight raids on our sardines, springing traps and frustrating our efforts night after night. It was frustrating. It was exhausting. And with each passing day, we worried about these little ones trying to survive in a forgotten field bordered by a busy parking lot and highway. But finally, persistence paid off. We are so happy to share that all kittens from the 2nd group have now been safely brought into rescue. (First group was Poppy, Teddy, Meadow, Clover, Aster & Willow) Their sweet sister, Zena, our little Princess Warrior, has been waiting for them. Scared and lonely without her family, she cried for them constantly. But at last, they are together again. Once they were given some quiet time to settle in and we stepped away, keeping watch through the Blink camera, (in video) a heartwarming scene began to unfold. The fear melted away. Soon they were chasing, wrestling, tumbling over one another, and playing as though they had never been apart. Zena had her family back. It brings happy tears to our eyes every time we watch it. No matter how many rescues you've been part of, moments like these never lose their magic. They remind you that every late night, every setback, every worry is worth it when vulnerable little lives are finally safe from harm and surrounded by love. It's the WHY❣️ The dangers of the field have been replaced by something every kitten deserves: safety, warmth, full bellies, and love. No longer lost, but found. But rescue is only the first step. These babies now need their initial veterinary exams, first vaccines, testing for disease, deworming, flea treatment, and, if they are deemed old enough, spay and neuter surgery. With their arrival, we now have 13 Forgotten Field kittens and cats safely in rescue who need veterinary care. This is where the real work begins. Bringing them to safety is only the beginning of the journey. Making them healthy, protected, and ready for the future is the next critical step. We continue to need your help to get them all seen and vetted. Please continue sharing The Forgotten Field Project and helping us spread the word. Tonight, 13 Forgotten Field kittens are safe. At least 17 more cats are still waiting. They will need food, medical care, spay/neuter, and, most importantly, someone willing to say yes when the world has forgotten them. We are committed to helping them. One life at a time. One family at a time. Thank you for believing in them. Thank you for helping us keep going. And thank you for giving these forgotten cats a chance at the life they deserve. We won't stop until every life has a chance.💞 And if you have ever fed a pack of velociraptor kittens, you'll know that a tremendous amount of food is, um, consumed (actually...inhaled, snarfed, gobbled !) 🦖 @gandolf_s is in need of food. 🙏 Fancy Feast canned, Broths, Stews & Kitten Chow 😺🦖amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3P… 💞
