Description

We are officially looking for a foster home, or even a foster‑to‑adopt home, for Saturday, one of the most resilient and joy‑filled cats we’ve ever had in our care.   It’s hard to believe that when we found Saturday in May of 2026, she was dying. She had been trapped inside an abandoned building with no food, no water, and no way out. She was severely jaundiced (fatty liver disease), dehydrated, emaciated, and barely able to lift her head. Her survival was uncertain.   But Saturday chose life, and she has fought for it every single day since.   Today, she is full of spunk, sweetness, and personality. She’s the kind of cat who makes you smile the moment you walk into the room. Saturday is a total lovebug who wants pets, pets, and… more pets. She’s constantly making happy feet, rubbing all over your legs, and asking for affection in the cutest ways.   She’s also a huge fan of wand toys and has discovered that playing is her new favorite hobby. Her joy, her energy, and her resilience are honestly inspiring.   Because Saturday came to us in such critical condition, we’ve kept her separate from the other cats in her foster home to give her the calm, quiet environment she needed to heal. For that reason, we aren’t entirely sure how she is with other cats. We do think she could be okay with slow, proper introductions, but she would also be perfectly happy as an only pet. She’s the kind of cat who thrives on human affection and would love being someone’s one‑and‑only. Saturday has survived the unimaginable. Now she deserves a home where she can finally exhale, stretch out, play, and be adored the way she always should have been.   If you’re interested in fostering Saturday, or fostering with the intention to adopt, please reach out. She is truly one of a kind, and whoever opens their home to her is going to gain a cat with a heart bigger than her entire rescue story.   Let's land this girl a home! If you are interested in meeting and fostering or adopting Saturday, fill out an application today!
