The numbers change so fast it’s hard to keep up!! As of this writing there were 71 kittens and two adults plus four mamas still in the nursery casitas or in foster homes in July. We had a slow month with sadly only a few adoptions at Petco. The count at the shelter is still at just over 300 including all the adults. Many of the older kittens will soon be released to live in the yard as they get passed over for adoption and we run out of casita space…always a sad day for us.

With this many kittens, the normal monthly budget skyrockets! The cost to get each kitten ready is very expensive. Vaccines, flea treatments and parasite meds are costly. The FIV/Feline Leukemia test alone costs $20 dollars. The special kitten food is much more expensive that the big bags we buy at COSTCO for the adult cats. And extra vet days add up the cost. If you would like to donate to help the shelter get through the next few months, any amount is welcome and appreciated.
