Sweet mama Ruth and her rambunctious brood of babies have been brightening our backyard with her endearing friendliness and their adorable antics.

As much as we love having them around, it is time for everyone to get fixed, vaccinated, FELV/ FIV tested and fostered/ adopted! The traps are ready and all seven of these sweethearts have appointments at PAWS on Oct. 15.

However, at $100 a cat, we sure could use some help footing the bill! Also, it turns out that feeding seven cats gets pretty pricey. And... these boogers eat A LOT.

We are hoping that some kind-hearted folks will be willing to pitch in to help give this young mom and her kittens the veterinary care, food, and supplies they need to get them off the streets and into loving homes.

Any funds raised above and beyond what these little biscuits need will be donated to the folks out there doing the hard work of helping families like Ruth's day in and day out -- often paid for out of their own pockets and big hearts.

Every little bit helps! Thank you for your support!
