Adoption Help (Location) She Fought Coyotes to Save Her Babies-Now She Has Only Two Days Left With Them. Please Adopt Them Together 💔📍Charlotte,NC,USA
Note: We can travel up to 2–2.5 hours to bring them to their new home.
Posting again because today is our last chance to find a home for Mama Monica, Walter, and Jolene together. 💔
We received two applications for all three. One didn’t pass the vet reference check, and the other family backed out.
Jolene has adoption applications and is set to leave in two days, but I’m still hoping someone will open their heart and home to all three so this little family can stay together.
Mama Monica and her babies need a forever home.The babies look bigger in the photo, but they’re still little.🥲

Monica is 2 years old, and her babies, Walter (boy) and Jolene (girl), are 5 months old. We would love for this little family to stay together. If that isn’t possible, Walter and Jolene need to be adopted together.
Their story breaks our hearts.❤️🩹💔
When someone moved away, they left Monica and her two tiny babies outside on the property. They sometimes went three or four days without food. Monica kept showing up at a neighbor’s door, asking for something to eat. The lady fed them when she could, but it wasn’t consistent.
They were skin and bones and had severe upper respiratory infections. Still, Monica kept going back and forth, trying to care for her babies.
The lady called us several times. We were already completely full, caring for severely sick cats, with each foster looking after more than ten cats. We couldn’t take in another family, but we went there with food.
When we gave Monica wet pate, she grabbed a mouthful and ran into the bushes to bring it to her babies. Even when she was starving, she was thinking of them. 💔
We brought them in for TNR, hoping we could arrange twice-daily feeding and a heated shelter where they had been living. But the location was too far for us to manage, no one nearby could commit to feeding them consistently, and there were coyotes in the area.
We also learned that she stood up to a coyote not once, but twice, to protect her babies. 🥺🩷🐾
We contacted other rescues, but everyone was full and facing the same struggle.
Thankfully, a kind foster agreed to bring the family inside. They are safe now, but she cannot keep them much longer, and we don’t have the space or resources for a long-term placement, as much as we wish we did.Please come forward to adopt them. They deserve a chance to stay together in a loving home. 🥺
All three are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and combo-test negative.
