As GiveBIG day one winds down, we are thrilled that we have raised $14,800. As we get ready to call it a night, we recognize that animal rescue truly takes a village and that the village really never sleeps. And for that, we are so grateful.

Many of the kittens we rescue are a result of our partnerships with independent rescuers, the amazing people who are working to reduce cat homeless through TNR. In the course of their rescue efforts, they often come across cats and kittens who are not feral and should be in a loving home. That was the case with this precious litter.

Meet Daisy, Tulip, Rose, Lilac, Pansy, and Iris

The new owners of a home in Orting discovered three pregnant kitties when they moved in, left behind by the previous homeowners. They reached out for help. In the meantime, two of the kitties had their babies. The homeowners cared for them until the rescuer was able to find places for them. One mama cat, Petunia, and her 6 kittens came to MEOW. Since the kittens were weaned, Petunia was spayed and quickly adopted.

At 8 weeks old, Daisy, Tulip, Rose, Lilac, Pansy, and Iris still had a bit of growing to do before they were ready for adoption, so into foster they went. Daisy and Tulip are now spayed and available for adoption. The other four are still struggling to gain weight.

While the shelter staff is focused on finding solutions to the lack of weight gain and providing medical support to make them as healthy as possible, the foster is monitoring their food intake and weight, and watching for any signs of illness. We will continue to watch over them carefully for as long as it takes.

Thanks to our foster program, our diligent foster families, and you, we are able to give kittens like these what they need to become healthy and ready for their forever families.
