As of 8 pm we have raised $13,400 in support of our foster programs and our amazing foster families, which means we will continue to be there for them all, to be ready to lend a hand to those who need us and help ensure they get their happy forever afters.
When someone with an unspayed female cat is faced with kittens, someone who isn’t equipped to care for them as they grow, someone who wants to ensure the kittens go to appropriate homes, through MEOW’s Toms & Moms program we offer to accept the babies, and sometimes the mom (temporarily). Then when it’s time, spay the mom and return her to her family, while we foster and vet the kittens in preparation for adoption.
Meet Matcha
Matcha was found wandering on an urban farm in Richmond, CA. Befriended by everyone there, she was being fed and watched by the workers. When the job ended, a woman moving back to Washington couldn’t leave this sweet cat behind. Matcha was promptly taken to a vet, where she was treated for fleas and a fungal ear infection. In the process, the vet discovered she was pregnant.
Matcha and her newborns are in a foster home, thanks to our Toms & Moms program. Matcha is a sweet, curious, playful and very friendly kitty. Her six newborn kittens are adorable, four tabbies and two calicos (maybe). So far, Matcha is a wonderful mama and very attentive to her large brood. But, should she need help, the foster is there for her and the little ones.
From her foster mom: “We look forward to watching them grow and finding their forever homes through the wonderful work at MEOW.”
From Matcha’s mom: “ Matcha’s foster mom and MEOW are my saving graces. If it weren’t for them, I would’ve had to give Matcha up completely. Thanks to them, the kittens will (quickly, I’m sure!) find homes of their own, and Matcha and I will move down to LA as soon as she’s fully recovered from birth, weaning, and being spayed.”
Thanks to MEOW, their foster parents, and you, this family is guaranteed loving care for their lifetimes. That’s part of the deal.
