10 kitties who are sick & update on Maple

Hi everyone. I want to start off by letting you know Maple arrived to her destination and everyone just loves her!
Thank you so much for helping her get there.

We now have Maple's four brothers who are well on their way to getting better. Tiny now has both his eyes open. They are running around like crazy now that they can see!
Also in the bunch is our mama kitty Lolita (Lola for short)and her five babies. They are now 5 weeks old and running around, playing rough with the other four. Spiderman is so gentle with these little one's. Lola allows ALL of them to nurse from her. She also has an upper resp. infection but is responding very well to her medication. The little one's are sneezing but other than that, they don't seem to be affected by the virus. They are all on the same medication to fend off any other illness that may come their way.

We need donations for the continued care of these sweeties. We have a donation button to the right. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. We'll also take gift cards to Wal-Mart (they are the cheapest) because we need wet food and litter for all of them. If you would prefer to mail your gifts, please email me at the email button or send to: thecatbin@gmail.com .

Thank you again to all of you who helped get Maple to her new home. And thank you in advance for your help with these 10 kitties. Here is a video taken on May 17th.

5 kittens need you!

I happened to be at Animal Control when these 5 babies were dumped there. The person said she found them in her basement! What a load of crock. Anyway, I was on the phone with Jo Ann (she coordinates rescues, transportation and so many other wonderful things for cats/kittens), and we agreed to take them.

We really need some donations for these babies. They are being fed kitten glop (you can substitute goat's milk with a can of whole evaporated milk) and Iames kitten food soaked in water. They are also getting Nutri-Cal and medication for their eyes. The medicine is a bit pricey at $24 for a small tube. Of course, this is on top of the cost of litter.

Any donation amount would make us super grateful. Here are the 5 kittens. And if anyone would like to adopt any of them, it's possible we may be able to help with transportation.

Fosters need donations for medical certs & transportation

Hello everyone! We have a new batch of kittens ready for transport to their new home!

There will be at least 4 of the 6 kittens traveling this Friday May 3rd, 2013. Because the kittens were given to me when they were only about a week old and very sick, not all may be able to travel. We are keeping our fingers crossed though. Here is a video of the 6 kittens who are now 6 weeks old:



You can also watch a video of when I received them below.

We also have another mama kitty (#1295)with 4 babies (I previously posted she only had 3 kittens). She is doing super fantastic and so are her babies. Here is a video of them:



I want to thank everyone who has helped so far. Without you and your generosity, these kitties would not have made it out of Gaston animal control services. If you or anyone you know could possibly make another small donation, every little bit helps. Medical certificates run between $25 to $50 and a special transportation vehicle equipped just for mama's and babies runs $125 for each rider group ($125 for mama & babies, $125 for the kittens) for a total of $250. So we are looking at near $300 to get them safely to their destination.

If you could get each of your friends to donate $1, I'm positive we could raise the funds needed to make this happen. And that is the great thing about using PayPal's donation buttons instead of going through a different 3rd party fund raiser that charges a percentage of donations raised. And it is a great tool to use so not a handful of people need to make another charge on their credit cards. If everyone you know and everyone they know and so on and so forth would just donate $1, we could save a lot more cats and kittens from being put to sleep.


I want to make it clear that we work on getting cats and kittens out of Gaston animal control in Gastonia, NC. There is only 2 rescue groups for them and NO fosters in the area. We work closely with the employees to save as many as we can. But if the funds are not there to provide for the cost of food, litter, medical and transportation, then these cats and kittens would be put to sleep.

Please help us in saving as many lives as possible. Thank you so much!

And let's not forget to spay and neuter our pets!

Adult calico female needs a loving home

Hi everyone, this is Turtle. She is approx. 1 1/2 yrs old and has finished nursing her kittens. She was rescued from AC with her kittens. She is very loving and highly intelligent. She knows how to stand on her hind legs and use her paws to open doors. She also knows how to use the pull handles on doors. She's independent and would make a great addition to your family. If interested, please contact me via email.

All cats and kittens are free. Some will have been spayed/neutered, have shots, etc. However, contributions of any size would be appreciated, but not required. We could use money or gift cards (prefer Wal-Mart) to purchase food, litter, medications, etc., sheets, towels, blankets, toys.
