💔 16 KITTENS SEEKING HELP FROM YOU. ONE SHELTER ALREADY STRETCHED THIN.
Today, someone brought 16 kittens to their scheduled intake appointment in a closed plastic tote with holes poked into it. After confirming the surrender fee, she said she needed her wallet from her vehicle. She never came back.
The kittens were so hot that our medical team immediately began triaging them. Thankfully, they appear to be okay.
One kitten has a birth defect affecting her rear leg that we will have to investigate. All 16 need vaccines, parasite treatment, flea and heartworm prevention, and spay/neuter surgery before adoption.
Even with our discounted veterinary partnerships, spay/neuter surgery and aftercare alone can cost approximately $50–$75 per kitten. That's $800–$1,200 for these 16 kittens, before their other medical needs. The average vaccines and preventative care while with us can be over $150 per kitten. That's a beginning total of $3600...
And we already had 82 cats and kittens in our care before today.
We know our area is facing a pet overpopulation crisis.
We are pushing, applying for grants, seeking resources, and doing everything we can to keep up with the community need.
But the need continues to outpace our capacity.
Right now, we need our community's help. ❤️
Can you help us meet this $3600 starting fund for these little babies?
Every life matters. Every little bit helps. 🐾
