Cat Hoarder Fundraiser

Yesterday our rescue worked on a very challenging rescue. We are working with a cat hoarder to attempt to rescue the cats and kittens in the home as well as one dog. The conditions in the home are appaulling. The animals are living in severe filth and neglect . Have you ever watched Animal Cops on Animal Planet and watched the officers go into hoarder homes? This is exactly what we are dealing with! We rescued a dog, 10 kittens and 2 adult cats yesterday. But many more kittens and cats need to be rescued. Tonight we rescued 5 newborn kittens, 3 adult cats and 3 kittens.

We need your help in order to help these cats and kittens! Here are ways you can help:

1. Provide foster care for a kitten

2. Adopt a cat or kitten

3. Help us find good farm homes for some of the adult cats (after they are spayed)

4. Donate- we set up a special fundraiser today called Chipin. The Chipin fundraiser is a simple way to donate towards this rescue. You simply click on the icon above and donate through your paypal account!

This rescue is going to be very challenging in terms of money and resources and finding good, quality homes and rescues for the cats and kittens. We desperately need your support. Every cat and kitten needs immediate flea treatments, spaying, feline leukemia testing, vaccinations and deworming. The dog we rescued needs emergency eye surgery on both eyes, spaying, vaccinations, deworming, heartworm testing and a dental cleaning. Would you please consider donating to these rescue efforts?

I am attaching a couple pictures of the kittens and dog. The dog pictures are graphic (warning!) due to her severe, long standing neglect. Her name is Grace and she was tied to kitchen cabinets on a short leash her entire life. Grace suffers from entropion eyelids. This condition is where the lower inside of the eye pops out and continually rubs on the eyes. Grace has suffered from entropion eyelids for so long that the constant rubbing on her eyes has blinded her. Grace is undergoing surgery on her eyes today and will no longer be in pain! Please keep Grace in your thoughts and prayers.

I know this type of thing is hard to hear but unfortunately is all too common. This is why we are here for the animals; they have no voice and without animal welfare advocates providing a voice for the animals, the animals will continue to suffer.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for caring.
