Feed the Kittens!
We need 25,000 bottles of kitten formula
Fuzzy, clumsy, adorable baby kittens are often found alone and defenseless against hunger, cold, and illnesses. These kittens require constant care from human caregivers—and lots and lots of kitten milk formula, every two hours—to survive. Will you feed these hungry kittens?
Give every hungry kitten a milk mustache!
It’s only March and we are already taking in kittens previously living on the streets. More and more will follow between now and winter.
Many of these kittens arrive just a few days old. Without nourishment and the ability to regulate their temperature, we spring into action to fight against their declining condition, and remain vigilant with intensive care for many weeks. Meanwhile, countless kittens requiring the same level of care continue to enter our shelter.
We need 25,000 bottles of kitten formula to feed hungry kittens this season. Will you make a donation that will fill up these empty bellies?
Where does your donation go?
It takes 250 bottles to feed ONE kitten
Baby kittens are often in our care for two full months before they’re old enough to be adopted. Each of these kittens will need 250 bottles of formula, not to mention cans and kibbles, supplies, medical exams, and one or more surgeries. Multiply that by the hundreds of kittens we save during each year, and you see why we so desperately need your help! Please make a donation that’ll ensure we have the resources to feed them all.
Kitten Formula & Food
Orphaned newborn kittens need to be bottle-fed every two hours for many weeks, and will need 250 bottles of formula until weaned. Once they are four weeks old, they will also need high-calorie kitten food to support their kitten energy and quickly growing bodies.
Medical Care
Orphaned kittens are extremely fragile and often arrive into our care cold, dehydrated, and even ill. To give them a fighting chance, our veterinary team examines them, vaccinates them, prescribes any necessary treatments, and continues to monitor their delicate health over the course of eight weeks.
Surgery
Each and every kitten will require surgery while in our care. For fortunate kittens, all they need is a spay or neuter at two months old before they're off to a new and exciting adventure with their new families. Some other kittens with injuries or conditions may need a little extra surgical help.
what to do
When You Find Kittens?
#1:assess
Is there immediate, life-threatening danger? If not, leave the kittens. Cat moms are their best chance for survival.
#2:wait
Are the kittens truly, permanently abandoned? Wait four hours from afar for cat mom to return.
#3:act
When kittens are in danger or abandoned. Keep kittens warm and rush them to a shelter nearby.
