Help get 3 foster kittens vetted for adoption

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and on July 12th, I was contacted about a litter of kittens and their mother in need of rescue. The kittens were between 10-14 days old and had been born in a rusted out shipping container in a truck yard— somewhere no cat should be having kittens and where no kitten can safely grow up.

I took the 3 kittens— Beluga, Buffalo, and Bongo— into my rescue despite being overfull because I could not bear to say no and leave them someplace unsafe. Their first few weeks were rough; they were malnourished and anemic from fleas. The girl, Bongo, was lethargic. Their mother was underweight and needed to gain weight to produce enough milk. All 3 kittens had upper respiratory infections that required constant monitoring and 3 daily nebulizer treatments and repeat vet appointments for weeks.

Now, the kittens have grown and are closing in on 4 months old. They need vaccines and to be spayed and neutered. I’ve scheduled for that to be 10/14 and the cost will be about $150/kitten including spay/neuter, first vaccines, and health testing. Any and all help would be significantly appreciated; donations have been inconsistent the last 2 months and I have 23 fosters on my plate. Even $5 goes a long way.

If it’s any added motivation, this month— October— is also my 25th birthday. I’ve happily devoted my life to rescuing cats and kittens in need, and any and all help would be greatly appreciated on this journey.
