BELLA, BUDDIES AND BABIES
Bella, and her two buddies, who were indoor cats, were
dumped on the street when her owner moved out of the house that had been
foreclosed on. The owner did not spay or neuter any of these cats. Bella was
ready to have a litter of kittens, she was bulging, she was so terrified, she
was hiding under a car, she didn't know what it was like to be outside. Bella
is still pretty much a kitten herself, she is ten months old. A very caring
neighbor, who is disabled, brought in the three cats. The caring neighbor's
friend took Bella. Bella had five babies, two days later, on April 25. While
the friend cared very much about this mom and babies, he was desperate to find
a group to take them in because he was leaving town for work and could not care
for them.
He went to Petfinder and emailed all of the local rescue
groups for help, they all turned him down. When we received the email, he was
so caring about these cats that we told him we would take them in. We had made
a decision, due to the amount of cats we already had that we would not take in
kittens this year. But we have been
receiving many inquiries from people wanting kittens from us and we had none. So, we took them in. They are being fostered
by one of our board members, Susan Olsen. There are four black kittens and one seal
point Siamese kitten. Two of the black babies are female and the other three
are boys. Therefore, we are now asking for donations for their medical and for us
to care for this mom and litter.
It gets expensive when you have a litter this
size, we need to feed them, get them all spayed/neutered, blood tested for
fiv/felv, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, so forth, it all adds up, our
donation fee in no way covers the expenses of what it cost to prepare a kitten
for adoption. It also depends on how long we have them in our care before we
find their forever home.
 
In addition we are fund raising for the two boys that were dumped at the same
time with Bella, Edward Cullen and Jacob. They are about two to three years
old, one, Edward, is a Siamese seal point, who is daddy cat most likely, and
the other, Jacob, is a gray and white male. We are going to need to have them
neutered, blood tested, examined, vaccinated, so forth also. These boys will
stay in the home with the woman who pulled them off of the street until they
are placed.
