Talking about our beautiful Shelter! ADOPTION Collar Your Cat but Make It Safe! Explanation Why Cats Die in Our Shelter
|
The 50-Kittens Program Public awareness to encourage adoptions
and financially aid this program will help hundreds of
kittens. Predictably, all of these kittens
will need health care in the form of antibiotics, eye
medicines, treatment for ringworm, testing for Feline
Leukemia virus, vaccines, worming, and, in some cases,
surgeries. Absolutely, the kittens will need time and
love. We will accept all non-feral kittens until the number of 50 is reached. As we adopt kittens from the program, we will take in more so that our daily number is maintained at 50. For those kittens that are truly
feral (not simply afraid), we will help the guardian
with health care as well as spay and neuter so the
kittens can remain in the environment and not be taken
to shelters where most die. We encourage those who find abandoned kittens to help by providing the kittens a home. If that is not possible we often will accept the kittens into our program.
We have established requirements for those asking for our help with kittens: The mother of the kitten must be spayed to prevent future litters. Financial assistance is available. A special cash fund “Money for Medicines” has been set up at Klamath Animal Clinic to help pay for medicines, leukemia tests, and vaccines, which can cost as much as $1,000.00 a month. Please make a cash donation to this fund at Klamath Animal Clinic. “We are very worried about what is happening in our community. Every year the large numbers of unwanted cats increases. According to data released by the Humane Society of the United States, less than 1/3 of the number of animals taken to shelters find homes. The remainder are destroyed. We are trying to find a solution to this tragedy but we must have the help of individuals to make a difference. Please help us.” |
