Our Foster Kittens are Silly!

Almost Ready for Their Forever Homes!

It's hard to believe that our little rescues from Trumbull are almost old enough to be adopted! Turns out we have ALL girls in this litter of six, super-sweet and silly kittens.

Three of our six have extra toes! One has so many toes her paws look like baseball mitts! All the kittens have white fur in their ears, a scattering of white fur on their legs and bellies and two have cute white “eye lashes”!

The kittens will begin to be available for adoption around the first week of June. We'll be posting these sweeties on our Petfinder page in the next few days and begin the process of accepting applications. If you don't want to wait, you can fill in an application HERE.

Their mama, April, will also be looking for a forever home, too. April is very friendly and sweet and the best, most loving mama we've ever had. She has striking eyes, like to “chat” and needs some time to regain her former beauty and a healthy weight since she gave so much of herself to her kittens. Contact Animals in Distress if you're interested in April.

Emergency Rescue Times Four

Five tiny kittens were living outdoors with their feral mom. They lived on scraps in terrible conditions. Even though we don't have enough room in our foster program, we knew we had to act fast and worry about logistics later. As it was, by the time we were able to intervene, two kittens were gone, never to be seen again. Our hearts were broken, but we had to press on to save the others because they were all getting sick.

We've put together an emergency fundraiser to help this family. The little orange kitten, a girl, is very small for her age and may need extra Vet care. If you can help, please use the ChipIn widget below. Every dollar adds up and no donation is too small. Your donation is also TAX-DEDUCTIBLE

Help Pom Pom Walk

We tried. We tried so hard, but now we need you.

Pom Pom Pomegranate has no chance of walking without discomfort unless we remove her back left leg. It’s taken us 10 months, specialist visits, tests, treatments, and zillions of hours of physical therapy to come to this decision. We need all of you to make it happen.

We need to raise $6,000. by March 9^th.

Give Pom Pom the gift of less pain and a chance to walk more easily.

You can use PayPal

Venmo @KittenAssociates

Checks: made out to Kitten Associates, P.O. Box 354, Newtown, CT 06470-0354

Why Now?

Pom Pom is almost a year old. Her body will not improve beyond what we've been able to do for her.

Imagine you have to keep your leg stretched out. You can’t bend it. You can’t support yourself on your foot because it bends backward at an awkward angle. The weight of the malformed leg forces your back to twist unnaturally. It causes shocks of nerve pain. How can you live like that?

Pom Pom can’t continue to live like this.

We know there are surgical risks. We’ve done extra testing to be as safe as we can be. Will this surgery make everything perfect? No, but her back leg hinders her mobility, so we feel this is her best option. We have to try for Pom Pom.

We can do it with you by our side.

Your gift is tax-deductible as we are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
