Pet Refuge planned to increase its intakes by 50% this year. Sure enough we have a new situation for another huge intake. We took in 20+ cats over the last 2 weeks from a hoarding situation! The cats range in age from newborn to 1 year old. This is after we took in 27 cats at the end of December last year from a different hoarding case.
Each one of these cats needs to be vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and disease tested before they can be adopted. If the cat is healthy this cost is between $220-$300 per cat. We have already treated some sick ones too.
Our social media campaigns and fun Petfinder bios have been hugely successful at getting cats adopted quickly.
With the help of our new cat cages from a grant from the Rhode Island Foundation, we have the cage space, but lack the funds to keep up with the vet costs.
Will you please help? Your donations are essential to take care of these kitties and help them find their furever homes.
You can DONATE HERE.
Pet Refuge receives no funding through the state or town and rely on donations, corporate or individual sponsors, fundraising, and grants.
Lennon (pictured above), Peanut, and Midnight, our 3 FIP kitties, are all thriving. Each one is gaining weight, eating, and playing. They are all very friendly and now enjoying free roam space in a contained room. We are looking for a foster home for Lennon and Midnight (bonded pair) (Peanut recently went to her foster to adopt home). Their 84 day medication regimen is $1500 each. Each one of these cats had multiple day stays at the hospital and our medical fund is pretty much depleted from not only their care, but many other sick cats we are currently treating.
We see a lot of sad stories and sick cats. But we are also so rewarded when we heal them and they are adopted. There is no better feeling of good done! As a true no-kill rescue, we will spare no expense for a cat that has any chance of a positive outcome.
All of this and numerous other sick cats have nearly drained our medical fund. We are in dire need of replenishment. Donations in any amount are desperately needed to allow us to continue with care for Lennon, Peanut, and Midnight, among many others. Will you help please?
The shelter is open by appointment only for adoptions. Please call (401) 294-1115 to schedule an appointment after you are notified of an approved adoption application.
Donations are welcome 11:00AM-3:30PM Monday – Saturday (we are closed Sunday). You may also leave donations in our bin to the right of our front door.
For anything else, please email [email protected] and we will promptly handle your request and/or schedule you for an appointment.
