Spring is kitten season. But, and it breaks my heart to say this, for many precious kittens who are born outdoors, it’s also killing season.
Often times, when people hear those tiny mews coming from behind their shed, they don’t know what to do. So they end up bringing kittens to a shelter. But what these well-intentioned people don’t know is that these kittens are considered “unadoptable” and will most certainly be euthanized—in other words, killed.
This needs to stop. We’re doing everything we can to save the lives of kittens this spring, but we can’t do it without your help.
Click here to make your donation to Alley Cat Allies today and help save the lives of cats and kittens throughout the country. We need to raise $25,000 by March 15, so please give as soon as you can.
The best thing we can do for these kittens is educate people about how to handle them. They need to know about the proven Trap-Neuter-Return method to stop more litters of kittens from being born each year.
We need your help to prepare for kitten season. By making a contribution to Alley Cat Allies right now, you’ll support our education and outreach, saving lives during kitten season and all year round.
Seven out of ten cats entering pounds and shelters in the United States are killed—and for feral cats, the kill rate rises to virtually 100%. That means most shelters will put these adorable animals to death. But the fact is, they can be provided specialized neonatal care or be socialized and become great pets if handled properly. That’s where Alley Cat Allies comes in.
Each year, we see the cycle of birth and senseless killing. And each year, we do everything in our power to break this terrible cycle. And Trap-Neuter-Return is a proven program to do just that. No more kittens—and the cats’ lives are improved.
Many people have never even heard of TNR and don’t know how successful it can be at protecting and improving cats’ lives. We need you to help us get the word out.
Here’s how: The first thing you can do is, if you hear about someone discovering a new litter of kittens this spring, tell them about our website (www.alleycat.org) and our National Cat Help Desk and encourage them to call for guidance. The second thing is to give to Alley Cat Allies today. Without your support, we simply can’t keep these essential, lifesaving programs going.
