A Fun Way to Help our Kittens While You Shop

We just got our first Target Gift Registry! set up! So when you shop for yourself, you can add a few goodies for our kittens!

We're really excited for this opportunity because we have to purchase a lot of non-fun things like garbage bags and paper towels. If you help us with a purchase of those items, then we can steer more of our cash donations to vet care and cat food! Win-win!

Thank you for supporting our rescue and caring about our little rescue babies. We can't save lives without you!

Join Our Biggest Rescue to Date. Meet the #SweetSuperheroes

We were just contacted by a municipal animal shelter in the south. They are overloaded with 60 kittens. Due to lack of space to provide care, they were faced with having to euthanize perfectly adoptable animals. We couldn't let that happen, so we decided to take on as many as we could, knowing if we take some, it means the others may be spared, too.

But we can't offer this sort of help without YOU being part of our rescue team. It’s no joke that caring for many kittens will be quite costly between vaccinations, spay and neuter, parasite treatment, FIV and FeLV testing, food, litter, vet exams and whatever else they may need times 9.

Yes, we've rescued 9 kittens from two different litters. We didn't "cherry pick" out the prettiest kittens, we took the ones that needed us the most.

We can’t do this rescue without you, so I’m asking you to become part of our rescue team by giving a life-saving gift. It will help us provide everything these kittens need until they find their forever families.

The #SweetSuperheroes basic care will cost at least $1500-$2000 (easily more than that once we fully assess their needs).

A Purebred Siberian with an Amazing Lineage Needs a Home

Stormy is a purebred (with papers), 9-yr old Siberian cat. Her lineage is astounding. Her dad was imported from Russia and her grandfather is in the movie: Nine Lives. This beautiful lady is losing her home because of her mom's allergies.

Emotionally, Stormy is a diamond-in-the-rough. She's cranky with strangers, but she's perfection with her mom. In time, we know she'll be lovey-dovey with her new family, but they have to be patient with her.

Stormy Portrait 1200

Stormy loves to "talk" especially when she's ready for dinner. She'll do best in a quiet home with experienced cat-parent/s who will give her time to adjust and become friends. She's lived with a dog and kids, but we're not so sure she's all that happy with so much activity.

Stormy has had excellent vet care every year and just got updated on her vaccinations. She also got a (not the best) lion-cut because she does not (currently) care to be groomed.

We believe Stormy could become used to being groomed in the right home, so her luxurious coat could finally be seen. She has cute white paws and sparkling eyes. Because she's a purebred cat her adoption fee is: $250.00

If you'd like to know more about Stormy, contact us at info@kittenassociates.org or fill out a Pre-Adoption Application.

MAY 14, 2017 UPDATE: Happy Mother's Day! Stormy was just adopted into a loving home!

MAY 21, 2017 UPDATE: Sadly, Stormy's adoption fell through. Her new family felt over stressed caring for a cat so Stormy is available to be adopted again. This time we are looking for EXPERIENCED CAT PARENT/S who have a quiet home and who can handle Stormy's "stormy" personality. She will be angry being re-located again and distressed but she will also calm down and seek out love as soon as she feels safe and confident in her new home. That's why we are looking for an experienced, calm, patient person or family who can finally give Stormy what she needs.

June 21, 2017 UPDATE: We believe Stormy may be in some mesure of pain due to her being front-paw declawed. She's having tests done and being evaluated to determine if she has a medical issue or a behavioral one. For now we are taking Stormy off our web site and Petfinder until we feel we have a better understanding of her needs and what her new family will need to know about her. She's in foster care in a loving home.
