<div>Help Us Build a Safe Haven for Cats – A New Cat Lounge in Newton, NC!

</div>

<div>Hi friends, cat lovers, and compassionate souls 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re opening a new, permanent cat lounge in Newton, NC — a "Lil Lion sanctuary"  for stray, abandoned, and at-risk cats who deserve a second chance. But we can’t do it without you. We’re asking for your support to help bring this safe, healing space to life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Our Mission

</div>

<div>We're more than just a cat lounge. We're a growing community dedicated to Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), adoption, medical support, and education. Our goal is to not only save cats but also support the people who care for them — whether they're colony caretakers, low-income pet owners, or new adopters.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our new space will be:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Cat Lounge for socialization and adoptions

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Community Market with locally made goods to fund rescue efforts

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Vet Tech Clinic (sliding scale for low/no income)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Foster/Boarding Space for cats and people in transition

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A warm, welcoming hub for education, trap rentals, and resources

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>️ Why We Need Your Help

</div>

<div>Our previous downtown Hickory location is closing, and we’re now transitioning into a bigger, long-term space with more capacity and services for cats and our community. But with growth comes cost — and right now, we need funds to:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Renovate and outfit the new space with cat-safe flooring, enclosures, and furniture

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Provide medical supplies and food for incoming cats

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cover permits, utilities, and setup costs

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Keep things running during the transition so no cats fall through the cracks

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar helps us open the doors to a space that will save hundreds of cats a year.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Your Support = More Lives Saved

</div>

<div>We’re not a big organization with deep pockets. We’re boots-on-the-ground rescuers, foster families, and volunteers — and you’re part of this pride. If you’ve adopted, donated, or shared our work before, we thank you. If you're new here, welcome — we’d love for you to become part of this mission.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please consider donating and sharing our campaign. Together, we can open the doors to something truly life-changing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> With deepest gratitude,

</div>

<div>Bella &amp; Kitties

</div>
