Thanks to the amazing support we’ve receive through our Winter Appeal, our ambassador Curtis has been nursed to health and is now ready to find his furever family! See our Facebook page and our website for details.
Every dollar we receive goes directly towards caring for and saving rescues like Curtis. We couldn’t do this without your support, thank you ❤️
Happy International Cat Day! We'd like to introduce Curtis, our Winter Appeal Ambassador.
Curtis was cold and alone, abandoned at a park in Auckland. Although he was tiny and near death, he ran from his rescuers in fear, but Curtis was about to get the second chance at life he deserved. Check out Curtis’ amazing story over on our website https://lonelymiaow.co.nz/campaigns/lonely-miaow-winter-appeal-2019/
Late last night we were contacted by an after hours vet that had just received two 5day old kittens, asking if we had the resources to take them. Luckily one of our foster homes put their hand up to take care of them, bottle feeding them every 3-4 hours and keeping them warm as they’re too little to be able to regulate their own body temperature. Without a mum, we’re all they’ve got.
This marks the start of kitten season which we weren’t expecting for at least another month. It’s going to be another long, hard season and along with financial support, we also need more foster homes, specifically those that can bottle feed precious babies like these.
If you’re not in a position to offer support financially but could offer your time and space in your home, head to our website to find out more about becoming a foster parents. Every foster home we have means another life we can save ❤️
This is Luna and she is one of our special cases in foster care at the moment.
Luna came in to our care earlier in the year and her life hasn't been easy so far. She's had an ear infection that's left her with a head tilt. It doesn't cause her any pain or stop her from being a happy kitten and she might grown out of it.
Luna also has a rolling eyelid which will eventually cause damage to her eye. She's been to see an eye specialist and has a few options. She can undergo a minor procedure now to correct it, but if she naturally grows out of the rolling eyelid and we've corrected it, it will cause an over correction which she will require another surgery to correct. Or we could leave it, hope she grows out of it over the next few months and if she doesn't, put her through a much more invasive surgery.
All of these specialists appointments and vet visits add up. Not to mention that she needs to stay in foster care until we've reached a decision or found the purfect furever family that will give her everything she needs and make sure her eye is taken care of.
Donating today with help Luna and other rescues like her in our care.
As kitten season seems to be finally winding down, we want to thank you all for your support. This season, we’ve rescued over 445 cats and kittens! We couldn’t do this without your generousity, helping us to continue our mission for caring for stray and abandoned cats and kittens.
And with the next kitten season maybe only a month away, we need to start getting ready. This means accumulating funds to cover the cost of desexing, vaccinations and microchipping as well as any specialty care, stock piling food, litter and flea and worm treatments.
If you can, please donate and spread the word with your friends and family. Every little bit helps and contributes so savings life.
We cannot begin to thank you for the outpouring of support and donations that have flooded in - we are flabberghasted at your generosity!
We are now at 231 cats and kittens, and your kindness will enable us to feed more of our giant hoard of felines!
