How long in limbo?

I know it's not anyone's fault. But I'm feeling defeated when it comes to the 6 fosters I have. In a previous post I described why I stopped fostering and chose to work more at the Gaston Shelter.
It seems like for every step I take, I get knocked back two. I did not intend to have these fosters this long (6 months). It has become increasingly difficult to care for them.
I didn't allow myself to get attached to these last 6. I've had one break, a mini vacation, back in May. But it's hard to make plans or travel about when I have these fosters. It's one thing to ask a friend or neighbor to come and put food out for my own cats. But no one wants to do two large litter boxes, enough that will fill a plastic bag in three days.

So I am asking, if not begging, for pledges/donations not only for their everyday care, but for future travel expenses. And if anyone who reads this blog, if you are interested in adopting one of these angels, my email contact is on the right. The donation button is also on the right.

This baby boy is named Paintball. He is very, very loving. A purrrrfect lap cat.

This is Lola. The vet believes she's near one year old. Very loving and she has been spayed.

This is Spiderman. He is about 10 months old, is a great cuddle buddy and has been neutered. Spidey needs to be an indoor pet. Just like his brother Sleepy, his eyes are also sensitive to sunlight. And white cats have almost a 100% chance of getting their ears sunburned and then diagnosed with cancer. The only way to get rid of it is cut the ears off. They do make a sunscreen for cats. But indoors is really the best.

This is Sleepy. He is blind in one eye. He's completely healthy but his eyes are very sensitive to sunlight. He will mostly do this himself, but if he doesn't get around to doing it, his eyes will need to be wiped once a day. He needs to be an indoor pet only. I can not stress this enough. INDOOR only pet. He is also around 10 months old.

This is Hootie. He is brothers with Spidey & Sleepy and approx 10 months old. Hootie is a big love bug. He is also neutered.

This is Egypt. Full of life and very playful. And when she's done, she wants to cuddle up with you. Egypt is approx.6 months old. And she is spayed.

These are precious babies. They deserve a permanent and loving home. I've had them for 6 months now. If you can't give them a home, can you donate a little to help with food/litter, medical certs. & transportation when a spot opens up? Gift cards to Wal-Mart are also welcomed. A 16 lb bag of KitnKaboodle is $9.98 and Wal-Marts brand of scoopable litter is $7.48 for 28 lbs. Thank you so much :) Meow!

Funds desperately needed for transport & medical certs

Hi everyone! I am so very close to transport time. It will be either this Friday or next. I need $125 for the transportation, $50 for medical certs and $?? for any other medical items/medication needed to get these babies up North.
I can not do this without you. I am only a foster with space. I do not have funds to care for and transport the animals.
I have had some very generous donors who have paid for s/n cost (5 will be going tomorrow), food/litter, medical and all other necessary items.
I now need some donors to get these babies, 6 of them, up North to a rescue who will place them for adoption.

Once my foster babies are on transport, I will continue volunteering at Gaston Animal Control, taking videos and interacting with the cats and kittens to post so all can see the temperament (shy, scared, playful, loving) and know which area to send them after rescue. I miss this part very much.

Any donation is never too small and as always, I appreciate it and the babies appreciate it.

Also, we have other cats and kittens that are in boarding that were rescued. The financial responsibility for these has fallen on Jo Ann's shoulders. I am asking for you to help her. ALL donations above my expenses will go towards the other cats and kittens that have been rescued.
Jo Ann is a silent hero in rescuing cats and kittens. She never complains about the thousands, yes thousands, of dollars she spends on the medical treatment and boarding of these precious babies to save their lives. She needs to be helped. Without her, many of the cats and kittens at Gaston would be put to sleep.
Please rally for our cause.

Let's stop the killing!

These 3 need to be spay/neutered in January 2012

The sign up date for the clinic is Jan. 3rd. I need $105 for these three. However, I can't use any contributions for this unless I know I have a start on the cost of feeding them and supplying litter. I need $250 by the 3rd so that I know I can purchase food/litter for at least 2 weeks and also pay for the spay/neuter.

Here are the three that need to go to the clinic. If you can help, thank you so much & God bless.

This little guy was supposed to go in Dec. But he got a cold and another kitten went in his place.

Please read about my chip in

It's a new month and a new challenge. I have 3 that need to be spay/neutered in January. The cost for these will be $105.00 I also need food & litter plus medicine. Here is where you can read about my new challenge. Thank you so much and God bless.

Much needed for this chip in

Thank you's are needed!

Thank you everyone who chipped in and gave from the heart. The kitties below will get spayed/neutered in December. The hernia surgery for the little orange kitten is covered. If not for your generosity, none of this could happen.

Thank you so much:

And any other's I may have missed. I am still busy with sick kitties but I will do my best to update about everyone I still have. Please check out the babies I have for adoption on my facebook page.

Need help with spay/neuter clinic

Hello everyone.  The sign up date for the next spay/neuter clinic is Sept. 28th.  I have 7 boys and girls who need to be signed up.  That's 7x$33= $231.00   They will be spayed/neutered on Oct. 11th.  I have $0 right now for this.

At the moment, 2 of the 7 are in heat.  If you have ever had a cat or heard a cat in heat, you know I'm in misery right now!  lol  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that none of the other girls go into heat before then.  My ears can't take much more.

Please share this blog with all animal lovers you know.  Even a $1 contribution will help.  Thank you everyone!
