Hi everyone,
This past week, I rescued a litter of six stray kittens in The Bronx. Stray cats are a huge problem here — most people ignore them, and aside from me and one neighbor, nobody steps up to help. We care deeply about these animals, but the cost of caring for six kittens at once is far more than we can manage alone.
These kittens are sweet, playful, and full of potential — but before they can be adopted, they need medical care, food, and supplies. Altogether, their care will come to over $2,000, broken down like this:
Vaccines & tests: $125 each
Spay/neuter: $200 each
Food & supplies: over $500 already spent
On September 27, the kittens will be heading to The Pretty Paw Lounge, a cat café upstate that has space to take all six together. Once there, they’ll have room to grow, play, and socialize until they’re adopted into forever homes.
You might wonder: why a cat café instead of a shelter?
- Local shelters are overcrowded and maxed out. If ASPCA or ACC had space, the sad truth is that the kittens would likely be euthanized due to limited capacity.
- The rescue I work with, Little Wanderers, is also maxed out. Waiting for a foster could take weeks or months, and even then, a foster may only be able to take two or three kittens at a time. That would mean dragging the process out and keeping the kittens confined to a playpen in my house — I don’t have a spare room for them to grow and play the way they need.
- The Pretty Paw Lounge can take all six kittens right away. It’s their best chance to be adopted sooner rather than later. The only catch is that I need to cover their medical costs first.
I’ve worked with Pretty Paw before — last year I brought them Snowy, another stray I rescued, and he found his forever family through them. I know these six kittens will have the same opportunity if I can get them there.
Every dollar donated will go directly toward giving these kittens the healthy start they need. Even if you can’t contribute, sharing this fundraiser makes a huge difference.
Thank you for helping me give these six little ones a brighter future.
