Although kittens are adored, for charities, they represent more than just a cute and cuddly bundle of fur. They come with huge costs and countless hours of labour.
This time of year is when cats are in full swing for mating, which can last from Spring all the way to late autumn! Tiny kittens are born outside – under hedges, in work yards and even in people’s gardens. Just abandoned and all alone.
We already have 9 kittens in foster care and we know there will be many more to come. Our newest arrival, Betty, just gave birth to 5 precious kittens this week and we are anxiously awaiting for Sweetpea & Bonnie to give birth too. They are both due any day now.
We need help to care for these innocent little kittens and vulnerable mums.
Did you know Mums are in our care for around 83 days and kittens for around 68 days before they can be adopted?
The cost of caring for the Mums & Kittens currently in our care is a staggering £3200!!
Sabrina gave birth to Apple, Crumble, Rhubarb & Custard in January
Biscuit gave birth to Cheese & Pickle in February
Betty gave birth to Ethel, Ivy, Rupert, Theodore & Winnie in March
And Sweetpea and Bonnie are due to give birth in April!
If 640 generous people could each donate just £5, it would help us cover this cost and ensure that these precious cats receive the attention and care they need.
With every £50 we receive, we can also help neuter a cat, preventing the birth of unwanted kittens who may be left to fend for themselves.
Your contribution can reduce the number of cats in need and improve their quality of life.
You can help by donating to these kitties directly through our website www.rainrescue.co.uk/donate or by donating to our Facebook Kitten Season fundraiser – www.facebook.com/donate/2295011410680988
When you buy a gift for a Rain Rescue animal, it will help us to provide the care the cats and dogs in our centre need.
Treat them to a cosy place to sleep, a treat and a toy, or nutritious food to keep them strong. It’s a great way to donate, thank you.
Founded in 2002, our charity has saved the lives of thousands of the cats and dogs most at risk in and around Yorkshire. Our rescue centre provides the space and support needed for these abandoned animals to recover, thrive and find a loving home.
