Feeding the Kittens
Hungry kittens!
When we started working to save animals in Lowndes County, kittens only had a 90% chance of making it out of the shelter alive. Through tireless work, spay/neuter efforts, and the dedicated partnership of our organization and the shelter staff, we have been able to flip the statistics and now kittens have almost a 90% chance of making it out alive! In 2020 alone, we have taken in over 350 cats and kittens! These animals eat a lot and go through supplies quickly, and we need your help to keep them happy and healthy!
Below you will see some information regarding how much supplies kittens require and how you can help

Thank you!
We cannot thank our generous supporters enough for all they do to make our life saving work possible. We have saved almost 600 animals already in 2020, and we are on our way to making Lowndes County a No Kill Zone! We are so blessed to receive supply donations, that we thankfully have the things we need in stock most of the time. When we don’t have to spend money on supplies, we are able to use that money on vetting, transporting animals to other no kill rescues, helping members of our community in need, and so much more! Your support, no matter how big or small makes a huge difference in the lives of animals that we are saving daily. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
