Help Marshmallow and her kittens
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
As many of you know, Lauren and I love our pets. We currently have two dogs, and five indoor cats. However, over the last year or so, we have grown exceptionally fond of two outdoor/street cats that live in our neighborhood, and “adopted” them as ours. You can find Hank and Marshmallow regularly lying on our porch, or in the bushes outside on the front walkway. We feed them every day, have built two shelters for them to utilize whenever it is wet or cold, and generally tend to their basic needs. Hank has always been friendly and has the temperament of an indoor cat, but Marshmallow however, has taken a little longer to warm up to us. Over the last few months, she has gone from a shy and skittish feral cat, to one that is able to tolerate us sitting close to her, and even the occasional pets! A month or so ago, we noticed her belly start to get bigger, her hunger increasing, and her temperament become that of an affectionate indoor cat. I told Lauren I thought Marshmallow was pregnant, but we weren't 100% sure. Lo and behold, a few weeks ago, her belly just magically was back to “normal”. Over the last few weeks we have been trying to figure out where her kittens were, and if they were even still alive. We have jokingly told her that she can trust us around her kittens and to bring them around anytime… Well, today I walk out of our front door at the end of my work day to the sounds of kittens crying. I see Marshmallow packing away her SEVEN 2-3 week old kittens into one of our shelters.
So, we need your help to raise some funds to provide Marshmallow, Hank and their kittens the proper medical care they deserve, to help buy them supplies, food, litter, etc until we can set them up to be spayed/neutered when the time comes, and to get these cats into loving homes they deserve! Lauren and I have largely used our own salaries to support Marshmallow and Hank to this point, but with seven kittens added to the mix, we could really use some help!
