📣 Emergency Broadcast From Bob, Chief of Staff & Supervisor of Everything 📣

Hello.

Bob here.

As Chief of Staff, Head of Quality Control, and the cat most qualified to judge human decision-making, I have been asked to provide an important rescue update.

The phone is ringing.

The messages are messaging.

The kittens are kittening.

And Pam is dangerously close to adding “spontaneously combusting” to her list of daily activities.

So here’s the situation:

We are not currently taking additional cats or kittens.

Not because we don’t care.

Not because we don’t want to help.

And not because there isn’t technically an empty cage somewhere.

The reality is that rescue is already operating at maximum chaos.

We’ve got cats with ongoing medical issues. We’ve got kittens waiting for intake. We’ve got TNR week happening. Adoptions have slowed down. And every cat already here still needs food, litter, cleaning, medication, attention, and approximately fourteen compliments per day.

Adding more right now would be like trying to fit another cat into a carrier that’s already full.

Technically possible.

Probably a bad idea.

To make matters even more exciting, next week is Pam’s birthday.

I asked what she wanted for her birthday.

She said, “A little breathing room.”

Frankly, that’s the cheapest thing anyone has ever put on a birthday wish list.

So if she’s slower than usual answering calls, texts, Facebook messages, carrier pigeons, smoke signals, or emergency kitten notifications, please know she’s not ignoring anyone.

She’s simply trying to survive TNR week, manage the cats already depending on her, and maybe enjoy a few minutes of her birthday without a pregnant cat appearing out of thin air.

Thank you all for understanding.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to continue supervising from this chair and making sure nobody accidentally relaxes too much.

❤️ Bob

Chief of Staff
Director of Naps
Acting Human Resources Department

P.S. If your cat is considering having kittens next week, please remind them that birthdays are not team sports.
