Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening!! Who in their right mind would go out in last night’s weather to rescue kittens?? ECAR is who, of course!! Nothing stops us from helping kitties in need! We have to say that momma cat found the perfect spot to stow away her babies 😊 In a ski boat 🚣 very fitting for the downpour. We will hold onto mom until kittens are old enough then we will have her spayed and returned to her neighborhood. Kittens will go up for adoption in 4-6 weeks. Kitten season never ends in San Diego!! Please, please get involved in TNR to help stop the thousands of kittens being born in the streets 🙏🙏 #tnr #tnrsaveslives #rescue #kittens #adoptdontshop
Everyone remember this little dude? Our boy Jaspurr!! Swipe left to see how handsome he is now!! He is ready for his furever home and whoever gets this guy is in for a treat!

WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS: Mother of the year award goes to this little lady!! This poor girl has quite a story. 5 weeks ago we were contacted about a cat with 2 week old kittens that needed help. We were told that “her leg had fallen off, one day she had 4 legs then the next day she had 3”. Of course, we were puzzled by this statement so we immediately reached out to help. However, when we finally got a hold of someone we were told that she was being taken care of and her kittens were spoken for. Fast forward to last Thursday..... The same people contacted us again and said they still needed help. We immediately went out to check on her and was told that months prior she had been attacked by a coyote. The coyote had also killed her prior litter and the caller’s dog. The caller rounded up her current litter, now 7 weeks old, to give us and we then netted Mom. Sure enough, she only had 3 legs!! We took her to our vet to find out the extent of the damage and were amazed and perplexed by what we found. At first glance, it looked as if her entire leg was missing, but after x-rays and exam we found that the bottom part of her leg was bitten off but she actually still had the rest of her leg...tucked into a pocket of skin created by the injury!! This poor cat was pregnant, gave birth, nursed kittens and lived this way for months!!! She is scheduled for surgery tomorrow to remove the remaining part of her leg and once she recovers we are hoping to find her a furever home 🙏 She is extremely shy but not mean at all and we do not want to put her back. We need someone with a big heart to give this girl a home where she can live her life in peace, comfort and most importantly safety!! #communitycats #tnrsaveslives #rescue #rescuecats #rescuekittens #adoptdontshop
ECAR has had a busy week! First we will tell you about Jordan. This 7 month old sweetheart came to us after being hit by a car. He sustained major fractures to his pelvis and hip and also dislocated his tail. He underwent a 3 hour surgery on Thursday to repair his pelvis and will need another surgery in 6 weeks to repair his hip and tail. Jordan has been such a trooper through all of this and is a very lucky boy. He is a sweet cat who deserved a second chance. His caretaker knew to call ECAR to get him the help he needs. It will be a long road but once he is completely recovered he will have a new lease on life!! We can’t do this without the financial support from our followers so please donate what you can so we can continue to help more kitties!! Stay tuned for our next story of an amazing rescue from this week!! https://www.paypal.me/ecanimalrescue #communitycats #rescuecat #ouch #9lives #kitten #blackcatsofinstagram #adoptdontshop
