New - Sponsor a Foster Kitten program!

Click on the picture below to read the story of this tiny pre-weans, our first litter of abandoned newborns in 2009! Kittens like this will benefit greatly from sponsorship/donations!

The survival rate of unweaned kittens separated from their mothers is very low, the younger the kitten is removed from its mother, the lower the chance of survival. Town Cats gets many pleas for help from the public and local municipal shelters to take in and raise unweaned kittens. We always recommend the finder keep the kittens with their mother for as long as possible, but sometimes people will stumble on a lone baby kitten or a litter of kittens who's mother has died or rejects the litter and who will not survive without human intervention.

Municipal shelters in our area contact us to take young kittens that they otherwise would end up killing upon arrival because they are not equipped to provide round the clock care for these babies. Without round the clock care the survival rate of unweaned kittens is very low. This is very costly in terms of the monetary, emotional and physical demands on our volunteers. The rewards of course far outweigh the costs and the volunteers who raise these babies are very special indeed and derive much satisfaction when their charges are adopted into forever homes! We need to support our volunteers who raise these babies and need your help! Every year we successfully raise more than 100 unweaned kittens.

For 2009, we need a minimum of $10,000 ($100 for 100 kittens) to get us through this year's kitten season. This is for Formula, Kitten Canned Food, Kitten Dry Food, Litter, Litterboxes, Toys, Bedding, Dewormers, Shampoos, Flea Powder and Flea Products, Vaccines, Spay/Neuter Surgeries and Testing for Leukemia/FIV.

Without your support, these kittens may very well die. Please donate to help them today! And best yet, tell your friends who are looking for a new pet for their family to contact us as we'll have kittens ready for adoption soon! Town Cats is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3), and monetary donations are 100% tax deductible.

This is a short movie we received via email from someone who made it for their ethics class for animal rights. Here's the preface sent with the link and we agree: It is one of the most powerful and important short films you will ever see in defense of animals. As people, we are commanded to be responsible towards our animals: "In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." (Job 12:7-10) We feel that it every person's responsibility to be a caring and good pet owner. So, if you love the little creatures of this world please watch this short (3 min) film.
