2013 was a busy and stressful year. But we were able to save a lot of lives. And though it's only January, we need to look forward to Spring. Many cats who will go into heat and have babies will do so around March or April. Then the same mother will go into heat around the end of June with babies being born in September.
Many, many unwanted kittens will be born. A lot of kittens will die from hypothermia. The one's who survive will be trapped and brought into animal control. Most will be sick and immediately killed. If a female is pregnant, a few rescue groups will pull them.
And the biggest heartbreak of them all, a shit head will bring in their 'pet' of ten years because they are moving and can't take it with them. I detest these individual's!
A few of us are still either fostering cats & kittens or have some in boarding from last summer. We depend on gifts and donations from you. Without YOU, the rescuing of these cats & kittens would not take place. It's the generosity from you that allows us to purchase food & litter, cover any medical cost and provide transportation to other rescue groups up and down the East coast. I personally want to thank each and every one of you. And I'll be the voice for them, "You have no idea how much we appreciate you!"
