| | Help! The Nursery is Open... and Empty! |
| | | The flood of kittens and mom cats has already started... and our nursery is empty of funds. When FFGW takes in a cat or kitten, we provide a vet visit, deworming, flea treatment, age-appropriate vaccines and spay/neuter (we cover spaying/neutering for all kittens even if adopted before they reach an appropriate age).
The cost for each cat is approximately $500, if no additional treatment or vet visits are needed, and our adoption fee covers less than half of that cost.
A single litter of 4 kittens and mom could cost FFGW $2500!
We want to help lots of moms and kittens in the nursery, but we can't do it without your help.
|
| | Can you help us fill the nursery with moms, kittens, toys and treats? |

We'll add the item to the nursery, email you the updated photo, and you'll also see it appear on our Facebook page and in our monthly newsletter - with our sincere thanks! |
