Just a cute video

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.

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.

10 kitties who are sick & update on Maple

Hi everyone. I want to start off by letting you know Maple arrived to her destination and everyone just loves her!
Thank you so much for helping her get there.

We now have Maple's four brothers who are well on their way to getting better. Tiny now has both his eyes open. They are running around like crazy now that they can see!
Also in the bunch is our mama kitty Lolita (Lola for short)and her five babies. They are now 5 weeks old and running around, playing rough with the other four. Spiderman is so gentle with these little one's. Lola allows ALL of them to nurse from her. She also has an upper resp. infection but is responding very well to her medication. The little one's are sneezing but other than that, they don't seem to be affected by the virus. They are all on the same medication to fend off any other illness that may come their way.

We need donations for the continued care of these sweeties. We have a donation button to the right. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. We'll also take gift cards to Wal-Mart (they are the cheapest) because we need wet food and litter for all of them. If you would prefer to mail your gifts, please email me at the email button or send to: thecatbin@gmail.com .

Thank you again to all of you who helped get Maple to her new home. And thank you in advance for your help with these 10 kitties. Here is a video taken on May 17th.

Maple is on her way! Please help her with her journey

Hi everyone! Maple has been cleared, medical certificate in paw and is ready for transport on Thursday morning May 16th. We still need funds to cover her and her four brothers. Please share this so other's may help. Maple would appreciate it and her brothers sure would like to make sure their only sister gets to her new place safe and sound.

Here's an update on the 5 kittens rescued May 1st, 2013

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What is a video worth? You can't tell it from the video because 3 of the 5 kittens look so pitiful. But they all run around playing together. Maple and Spiderman are the most healthy. Maple needs to gain some weight. But so far, the infection in the eyes hasn't spread to them.

Hootie and Sleepy run around. They aren't strong enough to play rough with Spiderman and Maple. And Tiny is so sick. But when he's awake, he runs over to my legs, crawls all the way up to my shoulders and perch's himself there. He's such a sweet little thing.

Here is the latest update on these babies. And I also added an earlier video of Tiny.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to these little babies. All is welcome and all is greatly appreciated.

5 kittens need you!

I happened to be at Animal Control when these 5 babies were dumped there. The person said she found them in her basement! What a load of crock. Anyway, I was on the phone with Jo Ann (she coordinates rescues, transportation and so many other wonderful things for cats/kittens), and we agreed to take them.

We really need some donations for these babies. They are being fed kitten glop (you can substitute goat's milk with a can of whole evaporated milk) and Iames kitten food soaked in water. They are also getting Nutri-Cal and medication for their eyes. The medicine is a bit pricey at $24 for a small tube. Of course, this is on top of the cost of litter.

Any donation amount would make us super grateful. Here are the 5 kittens. And if anyone would like to adopt any of them, it's possible we may be able to help with transportation.
