Chaska’s moobs are a new discovery, one that I have only just noticed. Balam was famous for many things, and one of them was his dingly-dangly moobs. Now that Chaska is so close to turning 11, it appears he has joined Balam’s moob club. This was the shocking moment of their discovery…..
Just my high-as-a-kite boy sitting on his stovetop throne in a poncho. He’s eating like a hog and making out with everything. I think it’s safe to say the drugs are gooooooooood.
We have a diagnosis, and a funny looking shaved cat. Chaska got really sick, really fast. He stopped eating and was vomiting and just generally not himself. Pancreatitis was a bit of a shock diagnosis for me. I wasn’t expecting it. Chaska is Balam’s biological brother. He is my living connection to Balam. I adore him and I spent much of yesterday feeling anticipatory grief at the idea of losing him. I just wish they could live forever…..
Chaska is spending today with my vets at the who will be attending his every need.
I can’t say this week has started well. I catapulted myself and Chaska to the vet this morning. Everything with him isn’t right. I had been treating him for an upper respiratory infection for 3 days, and suddenly he has hives. We think he has had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and I have been instructed to suspend treatment until we get the bloodwork back. He looks terrible. He isn’t eating. And I hate seeing him suffer. Please send all the good vibes and light our way. I love this boy so much. He is also my physical connection to Balam, as he is he biological brother. I hope to know more soon. I’ll update as I know in my stories. Thanks everyone for your kindness and support. I fully appreciate you being here.
“Daddy Bizcocho” has been adopted and is heading to his new home in Canada at the end of October. I am hoping we can find a wonderful forever home for his munchkin Tinkie-Tonks-sized babies who were rescued as neo-natal babies disposed of in the trash. Unfortunately, this is very common practice here in Mexico and Enzo & Elodie have been some of the lucky ones. I know that many of you would have liked to see them go together as a trio, but that kind of adoption is almost impossible. It’s very hard to find good homes for bonded pairs in Mexico, so most of our pairs head to the USA or Canada. Enzo & Elodie are an absolute delight. Please reach out to us to adopt Bizcocho’s babies together! Fill out the application on our website: OR link in bio! Thank you! We look forward to hearing from you!
This is my life now. Thanks to Balam, this platform exists that enables me and my team to bring light to dark places for so many animals. I absolutely love my work. I love being able to change the destiny of a wounded and abandoned animal. It is the biggest honor and blessing that Balam left me. It s also the hardest and most profoundly difficult. Gypsy will be put together again and she will find a home with people who really appreciate her.

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped make us the most effective feline rescue in Mexico. I’m honored to work with these sweet patients daily…
I am so in love with Bizcocho. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I am not here to KEEP all the cats. I am here to LOVE all the cats. Bizcocho has gone from being at deaths door, to being a very loved and pedestalized soon to be housecat in Canada. He will leave Mexico for his new home in early November when he is fully healed. Yes, I will fall apart. And yes, I will do it all over again. For those of you who support the please know these cats are so grateful for the love and care they receive from my team here….it is an honor to work with and heal these animals.
I’m loving watching this extreme sweetness bloom between Bizcocho and “his babies” Enzo and Elodie. Bizcocho started grooming them as soon as they met and their interactions have earned them roommate status. We have never paired an adult intact male with kittens so tiny, but it seems to work in everyone’s favor.

Although the initial plan was for Bizcocho’s to be snipped during his amputation, the surgeon decided it was best to wait until his leg was healed to neuter, as his surgery was more complicated than anticipated. All in all, Bizcocho is honing his daddy skills and Enzo and Elodie who are orphans, are in love with “dad”. This stuff makes me happy.

Thank you all for your kindness and support of the,we are so grateful to you!
I just want you all to know that I am so grateful to you for your support of Balam’s legacy of kindness. Thousands of animals benefit from our service, whether it be through our massive spay and neuter programs or our rescue animals like Bizcocho. I am grateful to you for sharing, liking, commenting and of course donating to our nonprofit organization who work daily in Balam’s honor to make life kinder to cats who have no safety net without us. I love you all and thank you for your belief in everything we do!
I’m happy to report that Bizcocho’s amputation went well and surgery was executed in the nick of time. We could tell from the x-rays that something was very wrong with his femur, and we were days away from his bone cracking and lethal bacteria flooding his system. The infection was so advanced, antibiotics didn’t do the trick. I’m sad to say Balam died this way, and I will never get over why he got such bad medical treatment. Everything I learned the hard way, I have applied to many of our rescues, and I can tell you Balam has saved many from his grave. We are all geniuses in hindsight. Bizcocho is a star. He is truly one of the most remarkable cats I have ever met. His sweetness is off the charts. We are receiving pre-adoption applications for him now. He has about a month of healing to do, but he will be ready to go to his forever home after that. I love this boy more than I can say. Apply to adopt Bizcocho:
