I’ve been volunteering at Animal Rescues and Shelters for over 35 years and have always felt that I get so much more in return than I give. The experience has made me (I hope) a better person.

Before coming to Wild Blue, I was the furthest thing from being an animal lover. I never had any pets growing up, and, frankly, I always thought cats were aloof and obnoxious!

No Such Thing As An Unloved Cat Wild Blue had never done a Valentine’s Day fundraising campaign before- it hadn’t even crossed our minds- but a newsletter from the folks at GivingGrid.com in 2018 gave us the nudge to see how our supporters would take to it. With GivingGrid’s tools, it was pretty easy to…

Mroaw! I came from a family with a mentally challenged child that didn’t know how to treat me well. I know he didn’t intend to be mean, so I’m still nice to people, but I still don’t want anyone to get near me with a kitty brush. I’m also on a diet– I’m on a…

Not all kitties are immediately trusting of their new surroundings and their new caretakers. Some of them need a little more coaxing to recognize that they are in a safe place with people who aren’t going to hurt them. When your kitty’s history is one of abuse, neglect, or abandonment, the process can take quite…

Declawing is Amputation Declawing is not just ‘trimming’ a cat’s nails, it’s a surgical procedure akin to removing the last joint on a human finger or the last joint of a human toe…except with a cat, it’s removing ends of all their toes on their front or back feet. Think about that for a moment,…
Wild Blue has grown tremendously over the past year, so it’s no surprise that we rescued a record high number of kitties in 2017. To keep up with the demand on our volunteers and our resources (we’re a volunteer-run organization, after all), we’re making a handful of changes this year. One such change is our…

Deming came to us as a teeny kitten with a bad case of feline herpes that fused his eye shut and ultimately required surgery. His herpes, though no longer dangerous to him, still manifests in some sneezes and eye goop, but it’s nothing a damp wet rag can’t handle. Unfortunately, he was overlooked because of…
I don’t come from Utah, but they named me that anyway. I am a little bit of a loner in that I kind of like being the only one around. Other cats sometimes get on my nerves, and I definitely would prefer a quiet home. Come stop by and say hi next time you are…
I am a real beauty, and sweet to boot! Have some extra time, please brush me because I looooove to be brushed. I am FIV positive which is why my eyes are a little weepy. But I can live a very long and comfortable life right there on your comfy couch. Come see if I…
If you have been to the sanctuary, you have met me….I am hard to miss. My name is Sunshine, but I can be a little moody at times but I am learning how to tolerate people and situations.
Mwrewouw! I do like to talk and let you know how I am doing, I guess that is why they call me Oracle. I am a sweet female tabby with a little bit of an opinion. Come visit me at the sanctuary.
My name is Baby, but that does not mean I am one. I am a quiet, sweet older calico who would love a lap to sit on. Come visit me at the sanctuary and see how I would fit into your home.
I am a total cuddle bug who loves head scratches more than anyone. Got some time? Rub my chin, neck, and cheeks and I will sit with your for hours! Being FIV positive is not a big deal, but I need someone to provide me special attention as I get older.
