Help get feral babies fixed vaxed and get a new safe trap

Donation protected
Hello my name is Desirae, my fiance Danny and I have rescued, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and found furrever homes for many cats and kittens in need. We have also fostered many cats and kittens including hospice or special needs kitties. We feed and provide shelter and care for a whole neighborhood of community stray/feral cats. Also have provided medical care and veterinary visits for many of these cats who have crossed our paths that were in need. Including broken legs, many upper respiratory infections, calici virus, flea treatment, dewormer, many abcesses and lots of wound care, subcutaneous fluids, little one with hydrocephalus, eye infections, ear infections, bloodwork and radiograhs, the list goes on and on. We are passionate about spaying and neutering and I will say it until I'm blue in the face. We have never let a cat or kitten leave our care without being fixed, unless being sent as a litter of kittens to the shelter. Where I know that they will not be adopted out without being fixed. Danny and I have funded this passion project out of our own pockets. We've never charged an adoption fee for our kittens or cats that we've found homes for, just asked that they went to a loving home. We go through pounds of dry food cases of wet food and pounds of litter! I realize that no one is making us do this, but I feel that we are contributing a small amount to the overpopulation and needless suffering of local cats. I thought about making a fundraiser many times but I have felt embarrassed or uncomfortable asking people for money when I understand how very expensive things are these days and we are all struggling. But I have been urged by many people to create one. So here it is. The main purpose for creating this is we currently have 6 kittens who are semi feral (which we have trapped and moved into our cat room, working on socializing) they cannot be taken to a shelter because they are not friendly. Therefore we will need to pay for all of them to be fixed and vaccinated ourselves. Then we can try to find barn homes or appropriate homes for them. There is also a cat trap that I would love to purchase and could really really use, that is safe to trap kittens with and has no danger of smashing down on the kittens neck.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I truly appreciate it.
