I know it's been quite sometime since my last post. That's what happens when your back goes out on ya. I've spent a majority of my time in bed. My back is feeling a bit better. Well enough to sit here and update everyone. We are in dire need of donations for the cats and kittens.
I understand it's the holiday season but the rescued animals don't know that. They are just happy being in a comfortable setting. No cage bars to look at. Room to run and play.
Maybe I should do a drive like the Salvation Army or Toys for Tots. I see no difference in the plight to get toys for kids and getting funds to purchase food & litter for the foster kitties.
My fosters are content to play with empty bags of M&M's or a rolled up ball of tin foil. They don't know how much I stress over whether or not I'm going to have money to feed them or take them to the vet for check ups. And the biggest expense of medical certificates and transportation cost.
Please don't forget those of us who rescue these babies. Some rescuers never actually foster. The cats/kittens are sent to a vet directly from animal control and then taken to a boarding facility where they sit once again in a cage until they are adopted out or sent to another rescue. It's these babies who need your help the most.

I have never charged a fee to care for these fosters. They have a visit with my vet (Dr. Robinson) and then I open my home to them where they roam freely about the house until transportation is scheduled to pick them up.
I can't always foster due to my health. I also can not foster without the assurance someone is going to fund the foster's until they get on transportation as I have no way financially to care for them.
Please, during this holiday season, set aside a few dollars to help with the cost of rescuing.
Thank you and God bless.
