Hurricane Sandy-Special Statement

 

Kitten Associates is currently without power with no idea of how long it will be before restoration efforts are completed in our area. There are rumors it may be 7-10 days.

Our phone service is not working well and we don't seem to be able to make any calls. E-mail is working, but not completely reliable at this time.

If you've sent us an application to adopt, please bear with us. If you've found a stray, injured cat or kitten and live ONLY in Newtown, CT, please contact Newtown Animal Care & Control at 203-426-6900. If you have questions about adopting one of our kittens or any other questions, please email us at info@kittenassociates.org.

Please be patient. We have no control over when our services will be up and running normally again

All our foster kittens are safe and well and we have food, for now. We have plans in place to acquire more cat food should our supplies run out from a local retailer who will open their doors just for us-even if the power is still out.

Thank you for your understanding. We hope to be back up and running and saving more lives soon.

 

Sincerely,

Robin Olson

Winnie and her Family Join Us!

2012 has been unprecedented in the number of kittens being born. Every rescue is beyond capacity and we get calls every day from folks who need help. Winnie was one such kitty; a friendly pregnant cat who lived outdoors needed a safe place to give birth and care for her kittens. One look at her face and we knew we had to do something.

The only reason we could offer assistance was because Winnie has a guardian angel named Donna who offered to foster Winnie and her family until they were ready to be adopted in early October. Donna's dedication to this family made it possible for us to say YES because we don't have any room in our sole foster home in Connecticut to take on any more.

Winnie gave birth to 5 kittens, 2 girls and 3 boys, on August 10th. So far everyone is doing well and we're making sure Winnie and her family have all the Vet care and support they need. We love knowing that another family is safe and off the streets, but we do wish everyone would spay or neuter their cats. There are too many to be helped and we don't want any more sad stories about the ones who didn't get help in time.

Winnie's kittens will be available for adoption some time in October. We'll post updates on their progress and hopefully some videos of them once they start learning how to play.

Meet PeanutButter!

PeanutButter is just 7 weeks old. She's a very lucky dilute calico because a friendly lady found her and saved her life. Poor Peanut had a bad abscess in her neck due to an injury, but we're not sure how it happened. What we do know is Peanut would have died if she hadn't gotten the loving care she needed.

The good news is that Peanut's injury is healing up, she's healthy, happy and ready to find her forever home. Some of her fur had to be shaved away to help heal her wound, but other than that she's a loving and playful little girl. If you're interested in adopting Peanut, just fill out a Pre-Adoption application HERE.
