June is for Kittens!

We have proclaimed “June is for Kittens!” We currently have about 50 kittens that will soon be old enough to spay/neuter. Then they will be going on to shelters and vet offices that will adopt them out into loving homes.

Kittens are expensive; our costs are $55 each for s/n, vaccinations, dewormer, microchips. We are doing a Chip-In Fundraiser, like we did to raise funds for traps last year, to help us cover the costs of kittens that we take out of their colonies so that they can grow up as loving friendlies, in good homes. Most of the kittens are on target to be neutered at the end of June at the PAWS-Chicago Spay/Neuter clinic, and while it is a hefty goal, our goal is to raise $2,750 to cover those costs.

If you can contribute $55 for one “whole” kitten, great! If you can only donate $5, we promise to put it to good use! We TNR’d so many cats in February and March, these are the litters of the cats that we missed, but we are working very hard to capture the kittens and spay the moms so that this does not go on and on. We are making a huge difference and this will bring us that much closer to stopping cat overpopulation and euthanization. Previous years, we have been so strapped for volunteers and time, we couldn’t help the kittens as much as we wished. Now, with your help, we CAN.

Thank you for all you do for the cats. We'll say it again - WE COULDN'T DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOU!

(Many thanks to Judy and Debbie for the Kitten Pictures!)
