It’s Kitten Season!

Kitten season is now upon us!

Kittens have started to slowly trickle in and we are in full on prepare mode! Pretty soon that trickle will become a flood and we need to make sure we aren’t scrambling to catch up when that time comes! But, in order to do so, we need your help!

There are SO MANY ways you can help us!

(1) You can donate to us directly through this post! These donations will be used to pay for vaccines, medicine, spay/neuters, and anything else these kittens may need. Because we are an all volunteer shelter, every single cent that is donated goes directly into the care of our cats.

(2) You can donate via our Amazon Wishlist – we have a specific list just for Kitten Season! We are creating “foster boxes” containing all the items our fosters need to raise happy, healthy, and socialized kittens! This wishlist can be found here:

(3) Don’t forget to always shop with Amazon Smile! When you put smile in front of your amazon URL (smile.amazon.com) and designate FOF as your Charity, a portion of the proceeds from your purchases go to FOF! Just this last quarter we received a check for close to $200!

(4) Participate in fundraisers! We have some awesome fundraisers coming up – including one with New Holland Brewing Company! More information on this is to come – so stay tuned!

(5) Join us in fostering! While this option is not without its risks (those babies are super cute, you just might keep them…just kidding!), fostering is such rewarding experience! It can be hard to say goodbye, but when you see those babes in the arms of their new family, it’s all worth it. And, as a foster, you are given all the tools and support you need in order to be successful!

(6) Why not volunteer? We are always, always, always looking for new volunteers for our Shelter and PetSmart! This is especially important during kitten season, as it is also prime TNR season, which means our shelter numbers increase. We can only help as many animals as we can care for properly – the more hands we have, the more we can help! We are currently in desperate need of Saturday and Sunday volunteers, but will of course accept volunteers who have differing availability.

(7) ADOPT! Adoption is the #1 way to make an impact on our shelter! By offering a loving home to our animals, you are helping to promote our cause! We aren’t in the business of “making money,” we are in the business of improving lives – both human and animal. Every animal that we take off the streets or from difficult situations and are able to place in loving forever homes, is one less animal that is suffering. Your adoption also creates space for even more animals to come through our doors!

(8) If you’re unable to donate, foster, volunteer, or adopt – that’s okay! Not everyone is in a position to help in those ways, but you can still help! Share this post, and stay engaged with our social media! The more you like and share our posts, the more people who see them – this is GREAT for our shelter. But more importantly, it’s great for our cats. THEY get exposure, and hopefully that means they get a forever home. The power of social media lies in your hands – use it to spread kindness and build support.

As always, we cannot do this without you, and are so grateful for your support. We, and our cats, are blessed by this community. We can only hope that you will continue to bless and support us in our mission to make the world a better place – one cat at a time! Thank you.
