Many of us are experiencing colder than usual temperatures this week. Cold weather is always a challenge for those who care for feral and community cats. We hope you and the critters you care for stay safe and warm. 🐶🐱🐭🦝❄️

Today, more than ever, we need compassion in this world. Thank you for your kind hearts and for all you do. 🐱🐶🐾❤️

Aww sooo cute!!! Thank you so much! 😭💕

We're getting a little break from cold temps here and it has given us a chance to change out hay, make sure shelters are at their very best, and just enjoy some sunshine. We hope your new year is off to a good start too. 🐱🍂

See you next year tree full of toys. 🎄

Here's to a new year! We hope it's a great one for you and the feral and community critters you care for. 🐱🐶🐾❤️

This is a very serious opportunity for the farm sanctuary I work for. We take care of the most vulnerable animals that have no other place in this world. Please consider a donation to meet this enormous matching miracle!

One thing I already love about 2026 is that declawing will become illegal in California! 🥳 a24.asmdc.org/press-releas...

December is National Cat Lovers Month! We'd like to send out a big thanks and virtual hug to all the feral and community cat caretakers out there. Thank you for all you do! It's hard (and often heartbreaking) work, but your kind hearts make the world a better place. #NationalCatLoversMonth 🐱❤

Oh my gosh you guys, you did it. We're at $10,040, over DOUBLE the original goal. I am honestly a little weepy about this - I'm so grateful and it's a perfect way to honor sweet Fergus. He was so full of love and would want all the cats in the world to be cozy and fed. 🥹

May your holidays be merry and bright and may you and the feral and community critters you care for have a wonderful new year! 🐶🐱🦝️

The holidays can be an especially hard time of the year for many people. As caretakers, we're already often stretched to our limits. But please remember to be kind to others and to yourself as well. We all need a bit of grace now and again. #BeKindAlways #KindnessCounts 🐱🐶🐾❤️

Over the years we've had quite a few "Bobs," who we fed, provided shelter and medicine, and TNR'ed without ever having the chance to give them a cuddle. They may never trust you fully. But we are sure they know they are loved and have a home now even if that doesn't mean we can touch them. 🐱❤️

Yesterday was #GivingTuesday, we hope after the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving that you'll consider a donation of time or money to your local animal shelter or rescue. The winter months are a hard time of year for animals and people! A little kindness can go a long way. 🐱🐶❤

The strongest never skips training!

Preface to Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman:

Happy Thanksgiving to all our fellow community and feral cat and critter caretakers out there. We hope you have a wonderful day. We are grateful for your kind hearts. You make the world a brighter place just by being you. Thank you. 🐈❤

Thanksgiving is tomorrow here in the US. It's a great opportunity to think about the many things that we are grateful for including you and your your kind hearts. You make the world a brighter place just by being you. Thank you. 🐈❤ #Thankful

November is Adopt A Senior Cat Month! If you're looking to add a cat to your family, please consider an older one. They have so much love to give! 🐱❤️ #AdoptASeniorCatMonth

This cat is every middle-aged ex-punker dude walking into the basement show. (Also adopt a senior pet.)

Just a reminder that a simple knock can save lives. Please spread the word! 🐱❤️ #feralcatcare

First snow of the season today! And even though we knew cold weather was on its way, it was a bit of a surprise to see frost this morning. Thankfully all the feral houses are repaired and have new straw. 🐱🐶🐾🦝❄️We hope you & the feral & community critters you care for are safe and cozy tonight!

Cold weather is always a challenge when caring for feral & community creatures. We'll be taking this weekend to winterize our feral cat houses & change out straw to make sure things are nice and cozy. For a few tips on how to make winter a little easier: www.barkleyandpaws.com/featured/bev...

It's Halloween! And although trick or treaters can be a lot of fun, they can be very frightening for feral & community cats. Be sure to provide safe spaces for your feral crew away from the noise & traffic. Use battery-lit candles,& bring in any pets. Lets make this a safe night for everyone! 🐱🐶🎃

This week we like to remember all of our beloved pets and ferals who are no longer with us. 🐱🐶We hope you'll join us in lighting a candle and sharing a photo or story. And in thanking them for all the joy they brought to our lives. Gone, but never forgotten. #PetRemembrance #PetMemorialDay

October 27 is National Black Cat Day! We'd like to give a shout out to all the beautiful void cats out there and the amazing folks who care for them. Black kitties have a harder time finding homes. So if you're adding a cat to your family, please consider one with black fur. 🐈‍⬛🖤#NationalBlackCatDay

Although trick or treaters can be a lot of fun, they can be very frightening for feral & community cats. Increased traffic, Jack-o-lanterns, & loud noises make for a scary night. So provide safe spaces away from the noise & traffic & bring in any pets. Let's make this a safe night for everyone! 🐱🐶🎃

We just read that Dr. Jane Goodall passed away today. She spent her life as a champion for animals and the natural world. She spoke for those who could not speak and was relentlessly kindness. Much of what we do was inspired by her example. Thank you, Jane. You will be missed. #RIPJaneGoodall

RIP to Jane Goodall, who opened the world's eyes to our closest relatives. (Photo by NatGeo's Hugo Van Lawick)

As a child I used to pretend to be Jane Goodall. Her raw willingness to be exactly who she was in every situation spoke to me and gave me strength. Rest well, Jane. It was hard to choose a quote. So much of what Dr. Goodall said was so important. Her words will speak for her forever. #RIPJane

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Spring & Autumn are our favorite seasons. They are a nice break from the heat of summer and the cold of winter. We hope you're taking advantage of the milder weather to have some fun outside. Taking care of feral and community cats & critters is hard work. Remember to take care of yourself too! 🐱🦝🐾🍂

September 22 is the first day of fall. We're getting our cat houses ready for the cooler months - switching out straw & repairing roofs. It's a nice break for us and our feral & community cats from the heat of summer & the cold of winter. We hope you are able to enjoy the season! 🐱🦝🐾🍂#FallEquinox

🐱❤️ We believe this so much. Compassion isn't just a gift to another person or animal, it's a gift to yourself. It makes you something more, your best self. #DoSomeGood #BeKindAlways #KindnessCounts

The cats 🐈 in my neighborhood know. 😽 The treat man cometh. 😸 #CatsOfBlueSky

One look and you know he’s having fun :3

🐱❤️Kindness can feel like magic to those you help. Thank all of you out there for your kind hearts and for all you do to make the world better for feral and community cats & critters. You are appreciated.
