Shave for 9Lives Cat Rescue (Auckland) fundraiser

$555 donated
Given by 24 generous donors in 4 weeks

To thank an organization who has offered to cover the cost involved with the desexing of the stray kitties that are hanging out at my place.

Auckland

I have never been able to participate a fundraiser where you shave your head, but on 10 January I am having surgery which will require them to shave parts of my head so I have decided to shave off all my hair so that it will grow back reasonably evenly. And with that in mind, I want to take the chance to fundraise for a organization doing some good work in the community, so I chose to put all funds raised towards "9Lives Cat Rescue".

9Lives Cat Rescue is a local non-profit organisation working on Auckland’s North Shore. Run by a small team of volunteers, they have dedicated their time to rescuing homeless, sick, abandoned and abused cats and kittens. They foster these felines in their own homes until they find permanent loving homes of their own.

Aaron Grafton is one of these volunteers from 9Lives Cat Rescue who pay for the rescue of cats all from his own pocket without financial assistance. He will rescue these cats and kittens, nurse them to health and rehabilitate them, desex and keep up to date with flea and worm treatment, before putting up the cats for adoption into loving forever homes.

3 days ago Aaron rescued Muffin-cakes and his 9 other siblings in a malnourished state from under a deck. This sweet kitten is in a particular poor state. He has a horrible eye infection and his back legs are not working.

He will need an X-ray first to find what’s wrong with his legs and why he cannot walk.

The kittens also require medication- antibiotics, lots of flea and worm treatment, kitten/cat food.

To help with Muffin-cakes’ treatment, you can make a monetary donation through my givealittle page to a verified bank account of Aaron Grafton.

If you have any of the items they need to help these kittens, you can message www.facebook.com/9livesnorthshore/ to arrange a drop-off in Birkenhead or get in touch with Aaron directly 0274 862 374 and he will come to pick-up from you.

Use of funds

Funds will be for 9Lives Cat Rescue to continue their great work.
