Hi everyone. I really hate to ask, but I am down to being very desperate. Funds are needed to continue feeding, buying litter and ultimately getting medical certs for my last 6 foster kitties.
I feel very fortunate for the generous donors the past 5 months. And I know everyone tries to stretch their dollar and give to as many as possible who need it.
I can get by with two boxes of litter a week ($15.16 + tax) from Wal-Mart and a bag of Kit N Kaboodle ($9.98 + tax) approx $28 a week. I know this isn't much, but it's over $100 a month that I don't have.
And when room is available at the rescue they will go to, I'll need another $100 for medical certs and $125 for transportation. And since I don't know when they can take them, it could be at a moments notice.
So please, if you can donate just a couple dollars, I certainly would appreciate it and the kitties would appreciate it.

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.
