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).

Things to know before you give:

• We’re a 501c3 non-profit cat rescue. Your donation is tax-deductible.

• We’re a 100% volunteer rescue organization so your donation goes directly to the cats and kittens, not a fundraiser or any paid staff members.

• Give a gift (of any size-every dollar matters) by going to our PayPal Account HERE.

• OR USE THE DONATE TODAY BUTTON WITHOUT A PAYPAL ACCOUNT (can use your debit or credit card)

• You can mail a gift to: Kitten Associates, 5 Commerce Road #354, Newtown, CT 06470. Make checks out to: Kitten Associates

NOTE: We are NOT going to use any fundraising web sites because they take between WEEKS and MONTHS to give the donation. If we don’t use fundraising web sites, more of your donation goes to the kittens right NOW.

We’ll be posting updates on our fundraiser, along with updates on the kittens, on our Facebook page. As always, if you have any questions for us about the kittens or the fundraiser, please contact me (Robin) at info@kittenassociates.org

Meet our #SweetSuperheroes!

It's Here! The 24-hour giving marathon that can be a game-changer for our little rescue.

The deal is to get as MANY UNIQUE DONATIONS (that means one donation per person) of $10 or more over a single day-Thursday, March 9, 2017. The non-profit in Fairfield County who gets the MOST UNIQUE DONATIONS WINS $20,000!

We have NEVER had even CLOSE to that amount of money in the bank in our 7 years doing rescue. We could finally upgrade our miserable foster room, get INSURANCE!, get toner for our printer and bank a bunch of funds to provide vet care for the cats we have now and the cats we'll be able to rescue in the coming days. We need a lot of funds for things that aren't easy to raise funds for and this award would change the history of our rescue efforts.

To Donate, go to our SPECIAL DONATION PAGE ON FCGIVES.

DONATE $10 OR MORE. Your donation IS Tax-Deductible.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME. Sharing this post can dramatically improve our chances!
