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.

Price of caring for foster cats/kittens
I know people see me on facebook pushing this blog and/or a chip in. You'll notice the chip in to the right states it is for food, litter, medical for the month of December.
That's right. I have 16 fostering right now and it takes about $250-$275 per month in just food/litter. Add in I've had to give my own personal stock of medicine for a panleuk/giardia outbreak, and you can see I am in a little pickle here.
It use to be fairly easy to get in contributions and I took in as many cats/kittens as I had space for in my home. Even to the point of putting my own cats outside and building them a new place to live so I could care for more rescues.
As the holidays have approached, I know people want to spend money on gifts for their family members and friends. They have traveling to do. But please, during the this holiday season, think just a moment of those less fortunate 4 legged babies that for right now, may be warm & cozy, but may be short on food and toiletries (litter!). Or those who need medicine.
I do chip ins because I want to be open and honest about the contributions I am sent. I want people to see "she has $100 of the $275 she needs". And if you feel like making a contribution through the mail, I have my address to the right also. And yes, if you would like to come and see the foster babies I have, you are more than welcome to come see them. I ask that you please contact me first via email. I'm all about adopting these babies out but I'm not going to let a perfect stranger in my house!
I've even had people 'drive by' my house just to see where I live. Yes, there are those who want to 'see' the place these babies are living. And that's just fine too.
Please, if you can give this holiday season and beyond, it will be most appreciated. Below is a copy of the receipts from just a week and a half's worth of what they require. So you can see I am in desperate need.
