First I'd like to apologize. I've been so busy with not only my own animals but the six fosters I have. So I've not been able to get back to Gaston AC to continue the video's of the cats & kittens they have.
We are hoping a spot will open up at the rescue up North. We are going to try and keep the three brother's together and Lola will go with Egypt & Paintball.
I want to thank Jo Ann, Mary C., Karen A. and Cathy V. for the recent donations to help these six.
It's been hard keeping them fed the past few months. Without donations, it's very difficult for me to feed them and purchase litter for them.
Four of the six have been s/n. All have a very healthy appetite.
Here are a few pics from today. Remember, no donation is too small and the six purr babies would greatly appreciate it.

Oh, and we just had a large rain storm. So you can see they tracked in a lot of mud! First pic is of Paintball, Egypt, Sleepy & Spiderman.

Please share this blog with others. These babies need exposure and funds until they get the green light to go up North. Bless you.

My 6 fosters are in urgent need

Hi everyone. I've been a bit crazy lately. I'm so stressed. It's been hard to bring in donations to help with the food and litter for the 6 fosters I have: Lola, Spiderman, Sleepy, Hootie, Egypt and Paintball.

No one could have foreseen how much sickness these cats were going to go through. And now that they are healthy, the rescue who were going to take them is full. So I have no idea how much longer I will have them. This means if I don't get some donations soon to help them, I don't know what I will do.

They go through 2 boxes of litter a week. That's $15.16 plus tax. One bag of KitnKaboodle is $9.98 plus tax.
I can take donations through PayPal if you use the donation button on this blog.
If you would prefer sending a gift card for Wal Mart, there is an email button to contact me for my address.
If you would prefer calling and paying for items such as KitnKaboodle or the Wal Mart brand of scoopable litter, the address and phone to my Wal Mart is:
Walmart Supercenter #1209-Lincolnton
306 N Generals Blvd
Lincolnton, NC 28092
(704) 732-3090

Folks, I wouldn't be asking like this if it weren't an emergency. I have the space for them and I have the time for them. But I don't have funds to keep them here.

And this is the same 6 fosters from the video below.

Update on all fosters since April 2013

It's been a long 4 months. It started with a few mother cats that went well from March. The moms and babies were transported up North and everyone arrived safe and sound.
I was then asked to take in two different litters that weren't even processed at Gaston Animal Control because they were going to immediately put them down. My friend Jo Ann and I couldn't let that happen.
We pooled our resources and I brought them home. The first set of kittens were only a week old. At 7 wks, all were transported safely.
I no sooner breathed a sigh of relief when I was asked to take the second set. These poor babies were so malnourished. While I still had them, I was asked to take in another mother and kittens. Long story short, it's been a long road nursing them all through Distemper. Not all made it, which was very heartbreaking. And one, Thomas, developed CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia).
The mother, Lola, was spayed last month. We had a very generous donor which is covering the cost of spay/neuter of 6 more kittens (Spiderman, Sleepy, Hootie, Avery, Paintball, Egypt).
The remaining two, Pookee & Thomas (siblings from Lola) are finally growing. Both have challenges. Thomas with moderate to severe CH and Pookee can't seem to grasp how to drink liquids. They turned 16 wks old yesterday. I'm still not sure whether I will adopt them out. Both have carved a place in my heart.

Right now, I need to concentrate on raising the funds for food/litter until we can get a transport date on the other 7. I have someone locally who wants Avery. I should know soon on whether they can have a cat where they live. I know she will be taken very well care of if able to go.
I will also need funds for medical certs. and transportation cost to get the other's up North.
If you would like to help this happen, our donation button is located to the right. No amount is too small. We are also trying to raise funds for other cats/kittens we have rescued from Gaston that are in boarding. Boarding fee's are piling up and Jo Ann is trying to cover this with her own money. Plus most have gotten ill while at Gaston and her medical bills for them are mounting.

Please help us continue to save these cats from Gaston Animal Control. They are a kill shelter.
Let's stop the killing. And don't forget to subscribe to the Cat Bin's youtube channel.
