My 6 fosters are in urgent need

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.

Update on kitties from Gaston #1295

It has been a long nearly three months with these babies. The mother, Lola (#1295 in ARRF photo album 6),has now been spayed but she continues to allow her 2 remaining babies AND 3 other older kittens to try and nurse from her. She is like the best super mom! This post is regarding her 2 remaining kittens. We lost 3 kittens to Distemper. Lola came out fine. However, her 2 remaining kittens are still fighting for their lives. The first kitten I'll tell you about is Pookee. She is still fighting off a URI. The distemper held her back. She is now 10 1/2 weeks old yet she is the size of a four week old. She is still drinking from a syringe but she has graduated to being spoon fed baby food. She is so adorable and loving. Here is Pookee:

Her brother Thomas is also fighting a URI and he has residual affects from also having distemper. His back legs are wobbly and he falls a lot. But sometimes when he gets going, he can run with the rest of them. Although while trying to stop, he falls on his side. His back left leg seems to be the worst. His head bobs uncontrollably. We are hoping he will grow out of this. But the nerve damage, neurological damage, may be permanent. He is extremely sweet and loving. Unfortunately, he'll need further medical care which we do not have the funds for at the moment. Here is Thomas:

If you can donate to help feed these growing babies, it will be greatly appreciated. I will be doing more posts shortly of the other foster babies I have. In the end, the goal is to get them healthy, s/n, and off to a no kill rescue up North.

Sick kitties

It has been a very stressful week around my house. I have tons of people here daily weatherizing my home. In and out, in and out, up to the attic, down to the basement. On top of that, I've had a very sick kitten to care for.

I thought I could actually take a day for myself over the weekend. But I came home to find a little baby completely clogged up! This hit from nowhere. After antibiotics to stave off anything that she could catch from a weakened immune system, forced pedialyte, sub q fluids and lots of nutri-cal, she finally started drinking a little water and eating a little can food on her own. She's still weak and sleeps a lot. Her mom, Turtle, has been by her side and that does make her feel better. But today, Turtle started throwing up and feels slightly warm. So I've had to separate them in case Turtle caught the virus from the kitten. I don't want Turtle passing it back to the kitten. Or any of the other 3 kittens that Turtle allows to nurse from her.

I am on high alert in the event this 'bug' spreads. I pray that it doesn't. I am leaving in a week for a mini vacation. My plans can't be changed. I would feel horrible and not enjoy a minute of being gone if I left with anyone sick or potentially sick.

So right now, I'm feeding everyone lots of nutritious foods including chicken and fish. Tonight they got mac & cheese mixed with people tuna! I am already low on food & litter. So I'm asking for any help that can be given. I got lucky that the kitten to get this bug was a little fatty. So her not eating solid food for two days only made her a bit thinner. I have 5 others who were thin when I rescued them (that's why they were going to be PTS, because they were 'thin').

Sneezes can spread a virus very quickly. Having holding cages will not prevent this from spreading unless the cages are far apart or in different areas. Which is why I only use them for taming the feral or if a cat doesn't like other cats/kittens. I have everyone spread out, in different rooms. So say a prayer for these babies. And if you can help me make sure over the next few weeks that they get highly nutritious food (and a way for them to get rid of their food 'litter', lol), it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
