The day, and our campaign are winding down, but there is still time to make a difference. As of 10 pm we have raised $34,600 (which includes $6,400 in matching funds) in support of our foster programs and our amazing foster families, which means we will continue to be there for them all, to provide them what they need to be healthy and happy in their forever homes.
We still have about $600 in matching funds available. We’ll be up until midnight!
Meet Luna & Rufus
Little Luna, and her beautiful young mother, Shadow, were taken to a veterinary hospital in Renton. Luna was one of several kittens in the litter, but she and Shadow were ill, so the family relinquished them to the veterinarian and took the healthy kittens home. A kindly staff member contacted MEOW and they were brought into our care.
Luna was really very ill with a respiratory infection which ultimately resolved with much nursing care in her foster home. During that time, Shadow lost all interest in motherhood to the point where she was annoyed by Luna, so once she was spayed, she was placed up for adoption, and quickly found her forever home.
But, Luna was lonely! Enter Rufus, a single kitten about Luna’s age. He had serious digestive issues with no apparent cause and was very emaciated. Would Rufus be the answer to Luna’s loneliness? We had to try.
Rufus joined Luna in foster care, where, with monitoring and healthy food he perked up and gained weight. In no time at all they were fast friends, running all over the place and getting into trouble, like crawling under the dishwasher, a feat that didn’t please their foster family.
When they were old enough, Luna and Rufus were adopted together as a bonded pair. Your gift provides much needed medical care for the ones who otherwise might not have the chance to find their forever home.
