“I ♥ My Rescue Cat” bag for great cause!

I recently bought my second bag from PetitsPawz in Montreal. I can’t wait to show off this bag… hehe.

PetitsPawz mission is to help reduce these numbers one cat at a time, while providing a forever, loving home for every cat that is in their care.

 

Lala is checking on my new bag… 🙂

Abandoned kittens need our help!

Tenth Life saves stray cats & kittens in the St. Louis area, prioritizing those with special needs. Now they need our help for poor abandoned kittens they rescued.

 

It was around this time last year that we received the disturbing call from someone who had found 5 tiny kittens inside two plastic bags, in a dumpster. (http://bit.ly/18aIPPj)

Imagine our surprise and heartbreak when we received a very similar call last weekend, the day before Mother’s Day. Someone noticed that a plastic bag in a grocery cart outside of a big-box store kept undulating, long after the wind stopped blowing it around. Upon investigation, they found six tiny kittens fighting for their lives inside the bag.
Sadly, it was too late for one of the babies. But these five darlings made it into our loving care just in time for us to start them on the long path to recovery.

The night of the kittens’ rescue, little Elsie’s health plummeted. Her body temperature and blood sugar hit alarming lows. She was rushed to the ER where, over the course of 24 hours, she was stabilized. Now, she eats like a champ and has plenty of energy.

Gus, Karen, and Bianca are doing well overall, but the prognosis for Bianca & Karen’s affected eyes is unknown at this time.

Sweet little Lars has quite an uphill battle ahead. Though his general health is stable and his appetite is voracious, his badly infected eyes are clearly in need of intensive care. He is on the strongest, yet safest, medication we can provide for him, and our veterinarians are watching his progress closely.

Please consider helping us cover the costs of their medical care, as these babies work to recover from the trauma they have suffered.

Ending the Cycle of Homeless Cats and Kittens

I support local animal rescues.  VOKRA is one of the responsible rescues for cats and kittens.

Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) is dedicated to humanely reducing the number of homeless cats and kittens. These animals are victims of human neglect and abandonment.

“We are fortunate enough to live in a society that cares for its citizens and allows us all the right and access to basic needs such as food when we are hungry, and shelter when we are cold.  We have the privilege of the comfort and companionship of domesticated cats who too often end up abandoned, alone, and homeless without their basic needs in a hostile city environment ill-equipped and often unwilling to provide them.

“When it comes to stray cats who are or who have become fully accustomed to life outside, the “catch and euthanize” mentality of controlling their numbers is both ineffective and inhumane.  When it comes to mother cats, often one of two things happen in that scenario; either only the kittens end up being found, leaving the stray mother to get pregnant yet again or the mother is found and needlessly euthanized, leaving tiny kittens to die of starvation or attack from predators.

Trap, Neuter and Release/Return (TNR) is a complete program in which stray and feral  cats living outdoors (as well as their kittens if there are any) are humanely trapped, medically evaluated, sterilized.  If after thorough evaluation and efforts they are deemed not adoptable they are then returned to a safe environment. VOKRA locates the stray and feral cat colonies by calls received from the public, local SPCAs, and municipal animal control organizations.

Of the over 1400 cats and kittens saved each year most are sociable and able to be adopted into homes. VOKRA’s goal for the un-socialized and unadoptable feral and stray cats is to trap, spay or neuter, and return 400 cats annually, a goal we were unable to reach last year due to a lack of funds. The TNR program has seen the number of homeless cat colonies in Vancouver reduce over the past ten years and the continuation of this program is essential. Thanks to our efforts over the past ten years, particularly in certain areas of Vancouver, new cat colonies are not springing up. We know this program works. However, many other areas in the Lower Mainland need our attention. VOKRA and other BC shelters have experienced a significant increase in the intake of kittens over the past year, a clear indication of the importance and necessity of our TNR program.”
