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 Fill Our Kitten's Bellys!

The six kittens, and their mama, April, are all doing well. The kittens just turned four weeks old and are starting to lap at formula on their own. We're so happy to see the kittens thrive, but the older they get, the more costs will be involved with their care and we need your help.

Use the ChipIn Widget, below, to make a donation for April's family. They'll need vetting (times seven) in the next few weeks and supportive care like cotton balls to help them eliminate, paper towels and cleaning supplies, kitten formula, baby food and new kitten-specific toys.

Our Latest Rescues! A Mama & Six kittens!

Kitten Season is here! We just took in our first family, a mama and her six kittens. The kittens were born on March 26, 2012 and are just 12 days old today. Three kittens have opened their eyes and we can't wait until their siblings join them.

This family hails from Trumbull and were living outdoors. We just couldn't let them stay there knowing how cold it gets each night. We hope you'll join us in welcoming our newest additions and give us a hand in naming these cuties!

If you have any suggestions, contact us at info@kittenassociates.org

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

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.
