Morrinsville Cat Rescue needs your help

Approximately 100 kittens are cared for, vaccinated, micro chipped, wormed and desexed annually by the MCR Trust before being adopted to their forever homes. This sounds straight forward but have you ever thought how much work goes into getting these kittens to the stage of being rehome able? The kittens come in stages, some only a few weeks old and needing to be bottle feed. Others are sick and needing treatment and have to be isolated from other kittens already there, and the really feral ones take time to become trusting of humans. Sometimes there are cages on top of cages in Karla’s lounge to accommodate them. The bedrooms are used to store cages, cat food, litter, towels etc. You could say this venture has taken over their house. Karla has set up their backyard and patio as a safe haven for these kittens, they even have their own bedroom off the area with a heater for chilly nights. BUT the demand for this service is so great MCR Trust need to expand the facility by fitting out the garage with areas to accommodate the different stages. This is a big project for an organisation run by volunteers.
