This little girl was part of a litter of eight, abandoned in a cardboard box at the door to a shelter in Greenville, GA that ONLY TAKES DOGS. They don't have cat food or litter there or any way to help these kittens. You know what I will say next. Without a foster home placement, they will be euthanized, for there is no one to help them.
You tell me. Could you say NO to this face? Could you say, "I can't foster this kitten or her siblings. I don't have the room. My cat won't like it. It will cause me problems. I can't help, sorry. I guess they will die."
I really really hate this. Every time I see these little faces, my heart breaks. I want to help, but it will mean quite a bit of difficulty and risk on my part. I already have a full house, but can't I make room for...EIGHT?!! more???
The kittens are being tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV. They will be euthanized if they are positive for either one-even though FIV+ is not a deal breaker for me. I have no say.
If the kittens are cleared, the people that are looking after them are willing go have them get all their shots, spay or neuter them, basically do everything and we can find transport for them with our friends at Kat5.
Can you still say, NO? I can't help them?
I don't think I can say, No. Even if it's going to be difficult for me to take them. Would I prefer a local rescue group step up and take them-YES!!!!!! Will that happen? I don't know. I'll hope for the best, but I won't stand by and let them all die, either; but sooner or later I'm going to have to put blinders on. There won't be room for people in my house if I keep this up.
If you work with a Non-Profit Animal Rescue Organization anywhere in the USA and would like to offer space in your facility or in your foster home, please contact me ASAP. It won't cost you much more than a second distemper shot and a rabies vax per kitten. That's IT! Otherwise they are very friendly, not feral and will be ready to go in a few weeks so you have time to prepare.

I am donating as much as I
I am donating as much as I can. I wish it were more. I wish I could step up and offer to foster them. I promise you when Noah Matan is no longer a baby, I will talk to Narda about it. SO look to me for next kitten season.
In the meantime, I'll tweet and put the word out, and donate what funds I can.
As I sit here crying over them. And praying.
Don't Cry!
I am probably going to take them all so don't worry. It's just a lot to care for for our small rescue group and in my exploding-with-foster-kittens-home. So no crying! I'm just waiting on their combo test results to come back. If they are neg., then we are OK to move forward. If no one comes forward today, I'll take them in.
No crying now!
But why not come visit them when they get here? :-)
Thank you for RT's. They help!
