Fund Hope's Surgery with Kitty Konnection

Please help Kitty Konnection with extraordinary surgeries this kitten season!

Hope is just one of many kittens in immediate need of our help. Hope's story is that she was found on the streets of Richmond County, Georgia suffering and unable to see at all. Both eyes matted shut and wandering on a busy street Hope was unable to see her way to safety. Noticed when a passerby saw her, she was picked up and Kitty Konnection was contacted for help. We immediately took Hope into foster care and began treating her eye infections. One eye can possibly be saved, however the other looks bleak and will need removal. This little two pound kitten is a fighter! With multiple visits to our vet and specialized care required, we are committed to ensure Hope receives the surgery and aftercare that she needs.

Hope's story is one of many. Broken limbs, amputations, life threatening illness and disease is rampant especially when there are so many kittens born in the warm months. We are overwhelmed and struggling to make ends meet. The rise in costs including vet visits, surgeries, medications, food and litter are hitting us hard. Our fosters are committed and work around the clock to help as many as we can.

A different emergency surgery was performed over the weekend when a local citizen was feeding a pregnant mom cat who showed up with 2 newborn kittens. Mom was in total distress and after a visit to our local vet, it was determined that there were 3 additional unborn kittens which she was unable to deliver. This was an "after hours visit" and a very expensive one.

The county animal shelter in Augusta, Georgia has the highest kill rate in the entire state. We work as hard as we can to keep cats and kittens from entering this shelter if we can possibly do it but we need your help. Your donations are so appreciated and no amount is too small. Many kittens, just like Hope, are counting on you.

Kitty Konnection is the only dedicated cat and kitten rescue in our area. We service the Central Savannah River Area , which includes many rural areas where there are no county shelters available. We are a 501-c3 non profit, all volunteer organization with dedicated volunteers who take these animals into their homes for care.

Thank you!
