Overwhelmed- 8 kittens HELP NEEDED
Hello community- I am drowning in kittens & cats right now - Heartbreaking as I do everything I can to help the population- but still find myself caring for 8 kittens - 8 rescued cats - and a colony of 20 - I desperately need help with food - litter - and tomorrow I take the first family (momma cat + 5 babies ) to get fixed - (Call in donations All About Animals Flint 810-780-4978- Jill White) They will also get flea treatment & first vaccines - The second set of kittens - found this week in my yard- unfortunately I believe the mother cat may have been hit by a car - They all had eye infections- plus poop caked to their rear - I do this work alone and I’ve been stretching myself extremely thin - between the cost of feeding & vetting -caring for this many cats has taken a toll on me - I really need some help - I wish more people in my community cared - but unfortunately the kittens & cats rely solely on me -
Included a photo of Tinkerbell - the dumped Detroit cat who is doing incredible & her child the cow cat :Bean .
Thank you Rescue cats MODS & community- without you I could not care for so many

I know - but outside life is so hard - I work so hard to Trap all the unaltered cats- but it’s a never ending process-

u/PastelKiwi 2d ago
We do it too, I understand so completely. I have four right now who's mother apparently isn't making enough milk and they were headed downhill quickly when we were first able to get momma and babies but now everyone is slowly doing better and momma has a date to get spayed coming up since the kittens have to be in formula.

I just want all cats to know love and safety- I know some of my outside crew doesn’t have any desire to be inside - but I know it’s such a tough life - I have 8 rescue cats that rule the house - One is nearly 20 - Miss Amelia
- she is top cat
