As GiveBIG day 1 winds down, we wanted to update you one more time and share our good news and heartfelt thanks. Throughout the day we received donations and kind words of support and encouragement. As of 10 PM we have raised $28,300!
Fostering, nurturing and nursing is a primary activity at MEOW. Thanks to your support, we can continue to give that support to the animals.
Fostering
Mama Luna, Valentino, Cupid & Amora
Sometimes, when we are asked to help someone who can no longer take care of their animals, all that is needed is a soft place to land. Thanks to our shelter staff and volunteers who provide care, feeding and human interaction to the shelter residents, and our fosters who provide care for those not ready for adoption, we are able to provide that gift.
That was the case when early in February a family reached out and asked us to accept their cats because they were moving and would not be able to keep them. They brought in a pregnant cat, three 10-week old kittens, and an 8-month old teenage kitten.
The pregnant kitty went into foster care, where just ten days later she gave birth to three healthy kittens, Valentino, Cupid, and Amora, on, you guessed it, February 14th, Valentine’s Day. For the babies, our foster family provided daily care, making sure they had clean bedding, were eating as they should, monitoring their health, and giving them lots of TLC.
One of the babies has some dermatitis, which is being treated and may require some follow up care. Other than that, they are healthy, adorable, and growing, and soon, along with their mama Luna, will be ready for adoption.
The three 10-week-old kittens went into foster care for about a month to get healthy and grow. The teenager stayed at the shelter, where he was given all the medical treatment needed to prepare him for a healthy new life. The four have all been adopted and welcomed into their forever homes.
Thank you for joining with us and transforming the compassion we all feel for the animals into lifesaving action!
