URGENT: Mama Cat Has Moved Her Family Into My Home Without My Permission — I Need Help Finding Them a Loving Home!
I have a situation that sounds like it came straight out of a cartoon, but I promise you — it is very real.
A stray mama cat was dropped off next door months ago. Since then, she has been sneaking into my home through my dog JuneBug's doggy door. I cannot lock JuneBug out of the house during the day — she needs access to the yard for emergencies and bathroom breaks — so the door has to stay open. I have done everything short of putting up a neon "NO CATS" sign to make this mama feel unwelcome. She has not cared even a little bit.
It gets better. Yesterday I spotted her moving kittens in my backyard. I shooed her off. When I came home an hour later, she was sitting at my back door with a kitten — like she was checking me in for a hotel reservation. By morning, two kittens were abandoned at my door with no mama in sight.
Then at 1 o'clock this morning, she woke me out of a dead sleep — in my bedroom — jumping on the baker's rack where I keep JuneBug's treats. This morning she strolled out when I fixed JuneBug's breakfast like she owned the place and was simply inspecting the kitchen service.
When I tried to usher her out, she bolted into my walk-in closet, which is packed floor-to-ceiling with Christmas decorations. I closed the door and went to work. It has since dawned on me that she may have already moved her entire litter of 6 kittens into my house. Without asking. Without signing a lease.

Here is the honest truth: I am a dog person. JuneBug is a dog person's dog. We are not equipped for this, and these babies deserve someone who is.
Here is what I am offering:

✅ Mama cat is friendly and handleable — she should be easy to catch
✅ I am willing to pay to have her spayed
✅ I will coordinate access so you can retrieve her and the kittens

What I need from YOU:

🐾 Someone to take mama and her kittens and care for them, OR
🐾 Help connecting with a rescue, foster, or cat-loving person who will give them the home they deserve

These babies did not ask to be dropped off. Mama is just doing what mamas do. But I am not the right person for this job, and they deserve someone who is.
Please share this post. The more eyes on it, the faster we find them a soft landing. Comment below, send me a DM, or tag anyone you think might be able to help. 🙏🐱

Valentine’s Day at Beaver Creek Distillery

Looking for a unique Valentine’s Day experience in the Garden Spot of the Earth? Beaver Creek Distillery in Bassfield is offering a memorable afternoon combining local flavor, craft spirits and a heartfelt Mississippi love story.

On Saturday, Feb. 14, Hattiesburg native and former WDAM-TV reporter Brian White will host a special book signing from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. at Beaver Creek Distillery, located at 96B George W. King Road in Bassfield. White will be signing copies of his memoir, Double-Decker Romance: A Real Story of Timeless Lessons on Life and Love.

The book shares the true story of White’s parents, whose chance meeting on a double-decker bus in post-World War II London led to a lifetime of love, travel and ultimately calling South Mississippi home. The memoir highlights themes of intentional romance, meaningful connection and cherishing life’s everyday moments.

Visitors are encouraged to make an evening of it by enjoying Beaver Creek Distillery’s welcoming atmosphere while supporting local authors and small businesses. The event offers a perfect Valentine’s outing for couples, friends or anyone looking for a meaningful and relaxing way to celebrate.

Come experience local culture, community and craftsmanship right here in Jefferson Davis County.
