We will provide any needed medical care, vaccinations, and deworming for the mom and litter. When the kittens reach 2.5 lbs in weight (usually at 8-10 weeks of age) we will spay/neuter them and mom for FREE.  

We ask that YOU foster the cats and welcome them into your home until they are old enough to get spayed/neutered. We will also provide any needed support as you go through this wonderful, but tiring experience. We have bottle-feeding tutors and lots of volunteers with kitten experience. Finding a needy animal or litter is how a lot of us got started in rescue and then we stayed! We may also be able to provide you with supplies (ie: kitty litter), but this is very limited and based on donations received.

We ask that people who find orphan litters (no mom) to find us an unspayed adult female cat to spay for FREE to take the place of the missing mom cat. This can be your own cat, a neighbor's cat, a co-workers cat, a stray cat etc. We want to take one breeding female out of the cycle for every litter of kittens we help. 

Please complete one contract application (see below) for each litter of kittens you have found. Once you have completed and signed the contract application, please send it to us via:
