Sage Cat Oasis

09/11/2025

It's with a heavy heart that Sage Cat Oasis, a cat sanctuary, announces its closure. I surrendered 10 of the 12 cats in my care, to a shelter for assistance in placing them in new homes.

Why? The financial struggle to stay afloat upended us. I used my tax refund to cover part of the cost of their care, and this year it was half of what last years was. In addition a benefactor who donated in September previously, was unable to do so this year. Furthermore, a small sanctuary often times is unable to get the fundraising reach that others do.

There are hundreds of us across many states pinching pennies to stay afloat. I would often see an elderly couple at Walmart comparing prices and strategizing over how and where to get the best prices. Debating, could they buy half a pallet, at so and so store, and save money that way? Was buying a certain food in bulk worth it, if all of the cats didn't like it, or it didn't fit their dietary needs?

Anyone who runs a sanctuary or rescue knows, when it gets to a certain point, you cannot compromise on the care of the cats. As many others have said, litter alone will chew up a budget, and that is indeed fact. But of course the cost of monthly preventatives, medicines, and veterinary care are the most important part of their care along with food.

Sage Cat Oasis sadly said good-bye today, Thursday, September 11th to Lillian-Bristol, Willow, and Daisy, Bode and Mica. In addition, Ava, Mae, and Grayson, Max and Birch. Their best care was of the utmost importance and we know the shelter will provide that until their next homes are found.

Hobbes, S.C.O. Spokescat, stayed with us because I do not believe he would have done well in a shelter setting. In addition, he is heavily bonded to me, his Gammie. Ivy also stayed because she is bonded to one of my original cats, Piper. I also have Suzy Q, who is Piper’s mom and the very first original cat, after my seniors that passed.

So in the days that come, I along with the remaining cats, will navigate this new normal that will be both heartbreaking and so strangely different. But I will constantly remind myself the cats will receive the care they so richly deserve.

Please remember your local rescues and sanctuaries year round and donate when you can. Spread the word about them, volunteer, and skip a coffee when you can.

Hobbes S.C.O. Spokescat would want me to say Peace, meowt!

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Maurice. Jasper and Maurice were the first to follow our page. We were honored they found us and chose to follow an unknown. Maurice's pictures posted have been a bright light in our days. Such a precious old soul that spoke to us in a special way. Here's to memories that sustain us during our sadness. It's fitting he left this world on his own terms with Jasper and family close.
Fly high fine Sir.

It kills me making this post, but I believe that everyone should know. When I came downstairs this morning I found maurice laying in one of his favorite spots. I layed down on the floor with him and petted him and then jasper came over aswell. Maurices breathing was really bad so I tried to make him comfortable. After a few minutes he took his last breath.
We knew that his vision along with his hearing was bad and he wasn't getting around like normal. He lived a long wonderful life of 19 years.

We send our condolences to all who are grieving this incredible loss. Fly high fine Lady.
Her family did a beautiful post about her if you want to read it. N2 Cat Crew

Yesterday we lost another legend, Kona the Awesome.

It’s amazing how close we can get to people (and their cats) online. Sometimes they end up feeling even closer than our actual family. I’ve known ​⁠N2 Cat Crew‬ for almost 12 years now and we’ve been through a lot together. I owe a lot to the creator, Versa BC. Without him, The Oreo Cat likely wouldn’t exist today. Not only did he come up with the name “The Oreo Cat” but he’s also the reason I started on this journey.

When Oreo first came into my life, I didn’t know anything about social media. I was an artist with an art blog. I illustrated kids books and made pet portraits. I had a small page for my artwork and an even smaller page where I posted pictures of Oreo for my nephews. They wanted to see him grow up and one of them was real allergic to cats. So the page was a good way of posting collected photos for everyone to see. One of N2’s fans ordered a pet portrait from me and posted it on Twitter (now X). N2 saw the portrait and tweeted “you should totally do my album cover”. To which I replied “OMG! YES!” That’s how our relationship began.

N2 had a huge YouTube channel “N2 The Talking Cat” (now N2 Cat Crew) and they posted all kinds of viral videos and funny parodies starring none other than Kona and N2. I was a huge fan, of course. I got the opportunity to work with Versa to create his album cover as well as all kinds of other artworks he used on merch.

Once we began talking, he asked if I had cats and I said yes of course! I showed him a picture of Oreo and he asked if he could share it on his page. Well the next day, I woke up to thousands of followers. I had no clue what I was supposed to do next and Versa told me “now you have to keep posting”. Well, that’s what I did. Flash forward years later and here we are.

I have never met anyone with such a pure heart of gold. I am so grateful to have met Versa and his wife and I feel lucky to be able to continue to call them good friends. As you can imagine, the loss of Kona hurts my heart a lot. Many of you who follow both of us know that we always joked about her being Oreo’s wife. Although I am glad Kona is no longer in pain, it’s still sad to see her go. Cancer sucks.

Kona, where you are, gucci bags and cinna-buns are only $1 and Oreo will get you as many as your heart desires. 🌈

You will be dearly missed,
With Fluff,
Tina, Onyx, Pudding and Olive 💚🕊️

If you can, that would be wonderful.

Hi friends 💜
I have a HUGE favor to ask! Actually, we need a miracle 😭💜

A wonderful friend of mine have a one-woman cat shelter and she desperately needs help.
Besides battling her health on a serious matter she is taking care of many homeless cats that have special needs, just like Monty and Molly.

Because of very high vet bills and her fragile health she reached out to me asking for help and she is such a wonderful caring person, so of course I want to help her.
That’s why I’m sharing this post in the hopes of someone can spare just a little something for her high vet bills 💜
I will of course keep you all updated.

She has a PayPal if you can spare just $1 to her homeless cats in need https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=9HCMC8YTPATVJ&no_recurring=0¤cy_code=DKK

Please share this post so we can reach a lot of people 💜

Love and hugs,
Monty, Molly & Fenjah
