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.

Urgent funds needed for continued care
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.

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!

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.

Stray kitten tossed out at my house
Let me introduce you to Avery. She was tossed out at my house. It took us a few days to catch her. Now she's this big love bug! Even though she has not been around the other kittens, she too has come down with Distemper. But we've caught it early and she seems to be on the up swing.
She looks to be about 10 weeks old. Avery needs to be vetted asap. She has a place to go up North but tests need to be run on her before she can go.
We need a total of: $125+ for transportation (this is including ALL fosters that need to go), $50 for medical certification, $105 for combo testing, and we could use some donations for the purchase of food & litter. They are going through 4-5 cans of wet food per day and 8 fosters can use up a ton of cat litter.
So if you are feeling generous and would like to donation a little, the Paypal button to the right will send you directly to our donation page. Any amount would be appreciated.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!

Kitten of mother 1295 from Gaston Co. Animal Control
Here's a cute little video of Pookee. She is one of two remaining kittens from a litter of 1295. She is lacking growth due to the entire litter contracting Distemper. She is 11 wks old but the size of a four week old. She is still being bottle fed milk but has graduated to baby food from a spoon. She is incredibly sweet and follows me around all the time. I do hope she finds a wonderful home.
