Plea for kitten supplies and donations
Update: September 5, 2016
Thank you so much to Jill from Pet Pantry, Lynn, Lori and others from Infinite Woofs, Ken, Rona, Sherrill, Steve, Keri, Diana, Judy, Megan, Laurie, Diane and everyone that donated to NASAP's August 2016 cat litter drive!!
NASAP still needs the following items to help several litters of homeless kittens:
1) Financial donations -
In May, NASAP took in a litter of 3 week-old orphaned farm kittens into care. Without a mother, they required constant hand-feeding and veterinary support including IV fluids, antibiotics and multiple testing procedures.
In June, a young cat (Bitsy) came to NASAP from the pound. She was heavily pregnant and gave birth to a huge litter of 8 kittens, three days after intake. Her depleted state didn't allow her to generate enough milk to feed them all, and they have had to be hand-raised. Bitsy was also been quite ill and required expensive testing to diagnose and treat a severe infection in her digestive tract.
Now that it is September, we have pregnant cats and new litters of kittens arriving in our care on a regular basis. Most of these litters require additional, specialized support because of the challenges (often a lack of sufficient nutrition) the mothers have faced during their pregnancies.
All these kitties are doing better now thanks to NASAP's intervention and vet care at our partner clinics. However our vet bills are extremely high and continue to climb every day. Please donate today so that we can continue to help litters in need! Tax receipts can be provided for monetary or supply/food donations of $20.00 and above.
2) Cases/cans of Purina Veterinary Diets kitten wet food;
3) Bags of Purina Veterinary Diets kitten kibble;
4) Bags of Royal Canin babycat kibble;
5) Cans of PetAg Liquid Milk Replacer for kittens (KMR);
6) Cases/cans of Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline/Canine Recovery RS wet food;
7) Cases/cans of Hill's Prescription Diet Feline/Canine Urgent Care a/d wet food;
8) Puppy pads;
If you are willing and able to donate, please contact NASAP's cat intake team at cats@nasap.ca or (780) 937-3373 so that pick up/drop off can be arranged.
Thank You!!
A huge and heartfelt thank you to our wonderful partner The Starlite Room, for their continued support and their generous donation! We are so happy and grateful to have amazing people such as them with us in the Edmonton community - keep up the great work!
