Callisto and her 5 Kittens
Whiskers rescued these five beauties from under a porch. Their young, feral mother found the best place she could to to keep them safe, but she needed our help. Whiskers needs your help to pay for their adoption preparation - all of our kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and tested for FeLV/FIV before adoption. A typical kitten that we have in our care from 6 to 12 weeks would receive two FVRCP (distemper) vaccinations and a rabies vaccination. With their exam, testing, spay/neuter, microchip implantation, the average vet cost for a healthy kitten is $204. That doesn't include the costs for microchips and test kits that we buy in bulk, or treatments/medications for sick kittens, food and litter. When you add in the mom cat, a simple litter of five kittens like this costs Whiskers over $1200 just for the basic medical care needed before they can be adopted. We make sure our kittens have the best care before they are adopted into their forever homes, but this care comes at a cost. Please consider sponsoring the kittens so we may continue to rescue more kittens in need and find them forever homes.
