FURRR 911 Kitten rescue in Westchester Cty, NY, dedicated to the care of abandoned or orphaned newborn kittens

We are an all volunteer, 501c3 non-profit kitten rescue located in Westchester County, NY, dedicated to saving and caring for the medically fragile (abandoned newborns), critically ill and injured, and special needs kittens. We believe that each kitten deserves the opportunity to live and be loved.

Before we could even post our final rescue of 2024, we received a frantic call for help. I thought that my hearing was off when my contact started outlining the situation. My immediate response was, "Puppy? Did you say puppy?" I think that I am sensing a trend going on over here at FURRR 911.

This Labradoodle puppy was born last night around 7 pm as part of a litter of two babies. Unfortunately, one puppy passed away shortly after birth. This little girl seemed stable but was not latching on to nurse from her mom. When this issue continued into today, the owners realized that this baby was born with a mouth deformity. Unsure what to do, they reached out to our contact in Queens for guidance.

While we waited for the puppy to travel from Long Island to Queens and then ultimately to us, we prepared an incubator along with stuffies (stuffed animals) to cuddle with. So, at just over 24 hours old, this little girl arrived. Weighing in at just 8.1 oz, she is alert and active, but already dehydrated from not receiving any nourishment since birth. She has a unilateral cleft lip with a fissure (hole) apparent just inside her mouth along where her incisors (front teeth) would develop. Thankfully, the remainder of her hard palate is intact. However, the presence of the cleft lip and mouth fissure necessitates that she receive puppy formula via tube feedings to avoid aspiration and sinus infections.

So for FURRR 911, our year starts off with a newborn cleft puppy and tube feeding. Wonder what the remainder of 2025 has in store for us. Wishing all of our friends a very happy and healthy New Year! πŸ₯‚

As we close out 2024, we are happy to report that these puppies (and their mom Blondie) are officially parvo survivors!

The little ones are now 4 1/2 weeks old. They are rambunctious and loud (turn volume on). They have learned how to escape the bathtub, but then whine and yelp to get back in. 🀣 They chew on dog toys and ankles. πŸ™„ And their new favorite pastime is to shred their wee wee pads. πŸ€ͺ It's so similar, but so different from raising kittens.

While we are only fostering this canine family for another rescue, it is not too late to make a tax-deductible year-end donation to FURRR 911. Your support has helped us care for over 300 kittens in 2024. We could not continue our mission without your help and generosity. Please consider donating today so that we can save even more lives in 2025.

Today is a very special day for us at FURRR 911. On December 31st, 2014, we sat down with a dear friend at our condo in White Plains and incorporated FURRR 911 as a non-profit animal rescue organization. And in the blink of an eye, here we are 10 years later!

What a rollercoaster these past 10 years have been. Our small rescue initially intaked any type of feline who needed our help. However, the demand for experienced caregivers for neonatal kittens was overwhelming. Now we are a specialized newborn kittens rescue, which only intakes kittens 4 weeks old and younger. We are proud to say that FURRR 911 is the only dedicated neonatal kitten rescue organization between Massachusetts and southern Pennsylvania. And yes, we do sometimes stray and take in special needs and critical kittens who are not bottle babies, but this is done on a case by case basis and is dependent upon our number of newborn kittens at the time.

You can help us celebrate this big milestone by making an end-of-year donation so that FURRR 911 can save even more lives in 2025. Our rescue oprates entirely upon private donations. We do not receive any federal, state, or local funding. Furthermore, as a 501c3 non-profit organization, your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. So please consider donating today to help us celebrate 10 years of saving the lives of kittens!

To all who celebrate, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

As this year winds down, we would like to thank you for all your love and support throughout the year. Our small, specialized newborn kitten rescue would not exist without all of you by our side. You are the backbone as well as the heart of the rescue.

Happy holidays to all!

Since so many of you have been asking, here is a quick update on Blondie and her family. Blondie continues to do really well and is no longer showing any signs of the parvo virus. She is active and energetic and loving. Thankfulky, this southern girl is also unfazed by the cold and snow. Momma also has a huge appetite, which is great since she desperately needs to put some weight on.

All seven of her babies are still with us. All puppies are active and alert and gaining weight except one little boy. In fact, there is one female puppy whom I have nicknamed the Moose because she is almost 3 pounds now (nearly a pound bigger than her brothers and sisters). They mostly sleep and nurse, except when I have to bother them for weights, medications, and treatments. Once awake, you can catch them pawing or nipping at one another as they learn how to play.

As for our concerning little boy, he is the puppy who was vomiting (and possibly aspirated) just as I was arriving at the emergency vet to pick the family up. I noticed that while he follows his siblings to mom's belly, he wasn't actually latching and nursing. I tried bottle feeding him puppy replacement milk, but he wanted no part in that either. So tube feeding him formula every 4 hours is where we currently stand. I am happy to report that he has no longer been vomiting, but he is barely gaining weight either. The first 7 days from the onset of parvo symptoms are the most critical time period. So, each day that he continues to fight to stay with us brings more hope for his survival.

There is still time to send a gift to FURRR 911 for the holidays. We won't mind if Santa Paws can't deliver the presents until after Christmas. We did add a couple items to our Amazon wishlist specifically for Blondie. However, you may also choose to shop for our kitties through our Chewy wishlist. The kitties are most in need of kitty litter (clumping litter on both wishlists; clay non-clumping is only on the Chewy wishlist) and Friskies cat food (shreds/filets). Though any of the cleaning supplies (Lysol spray and ResCue on Amazon wishlist) are greatly appreciated due to the parvo.

Blondie's puppies- all black or grey wee ones. You can see by the second picture that she is wondering why none of her babies look anything like her. 🀣

She is such a good mommy. So glad that she stabilized quickly so that we can focus all of our energy on trying to keep her puppies strong. Please keep them in your thoughts.

Foster momma gets into trouble when she doesn't have enough bottle babies to keep her busy 24/7. So when S.N.A.R.R Animal Rescue Northeast called about a mom and her pups who needed critical care and monitoring, well, it just felt right to say yes.

Mom, Blondie, arrived from the South with her 10 pups recently. On Wednesday, Blondie wasn't herself and had some vomiting and diarrhea. She was immediately taken to the vet and tested positive for the dreaded Parvo virus. Unfortunately, one puppy succumbed quickly to the illness.

The family was hospitalized at Veterinary Emergency Group in Cos Cob, CT, for treatment. Since there currently is no cure for this virus, round-the-clock supportive care is necessary to provide these animals with a chance for survival. Even with best efforts, the survival rate is not great, especially in 2 week old puppies.

As I was getting ready to head to VEG to pick them up today, I received word that one pup had taken a devastating turn for the worst and passed away. Upon arrival, the staff was readying an oxygen chamber as one puppy had just vomited, and they feared that he may have aspirated. Indeed, milk was dripping from his nostrils, but he was alert and vocal after being taken away from his mom. After speaking with the veterinarian and monitoring the pup while discharge paperwork was being done, he remained stable for the time being and was given the green light to be discharged. However, as we were slowly driving home in snow on congested highways, a different puppy quickly crashed and could not be revived. So heartbreaking πŸ’”

Blondie and her 7 puppies are settled in with me now. (And no, the cats were not happy to see a 30-pound dog enter their house). The canine family has a room all their own, which was quickly made into a mini ICU. Now for the fun: weights every 2 hours, SQ fluid boluses, antibiotics, anti-nausea medications, gastrointestinal meds and probiotics, and supplemental bottle or tube feedings. While Blondie has perked up in the past couple days, only time will tell if the puppies' bodies are strong enough to fight this virus off. They say the holidays are a time for miracles, so I am hoping for my own little miracle right here. Wish me and this sweet family luck!

We have been incredibly busy at the White Plains High School Craft Fair today. If you are in the Westchester area, you still have time to come on by and support our rescue. We will be at WPHS on North Street in White Plains until 4 pm today.

All of these beautiful handcrafted items have been made by our wonderful volunteers. 100% of sales proceeds are donated to FURRR 911 for our medical fund. So if you still need holiday gifts, please come visit us.

Update: We have transportation for these kittens so that they can get to their foster home and get settled. I will say it once again. I am proud to be a part of a community which loves animals and is always willing to help. ❀️

Although is over, our generous donor has agreed to extend the $3000 donation match offer. If we can raise $1524 more in donations, each penny will be matched! Our social media posts yesterday had very little engagement, so we know that many of our friends were not seeing us pop up in their feeds. Therefore, we are grateful for this opportunity to try to max out the donation match.

Once FURRR 911 commits to a cat or kitten, we stand by that no matter what. This is Valentino, who was rescued as a kitten in Kuwait, and traveled to our rescue as a young adult. In 2021, he was adopted into a local home.

Imagine our surprise when we received an email recently from the microchip company where we registered him stating that our "cat had been found." Thankfully, they listed the veterinary practice where Valentino had been scanned, and we called immediately. While we could not get many details due to privacy, we did learn that he was brought in to update his vaccines as his adopter was looking to rehome him.

Our adoption contract specifically states that FURRR 911 will take back any of our cats at any time and for any reason if situations should change or not work out. Although incredibly rare over the 10 years that our rescue has been in existence, there have been a few incidences where the adopter did not contact us to return a cat. People may feel embarrassed, or perhaps they feel that they can handle the rehoming without "bothering" the rescue. Whatever the reason may be, we want our kitty back.

Next, we called the adopter and had to leave a voicemail. That night, we received a return call and were able to ascertain what was going on. Unfortunately, circumstances in the home had changed as the family was going through a divorce. With the change in the household dynamics, an older male cat had started to bully our very docile kitty. Valentino was so stressed that he stopped grooming himself and had multiple mats in his fur. He was living in hiding and barely eating. When he did come out, he was jumpy and afraid to use the litter box. Removing him from his situation was truly the best decision, so we arranged to pick up our sweet boy.

Please help us raise $1524 more to maximize this $3K donation match. We don't get opportunities like this often. Once again, we request that you react, comment, and share our posts so that more people can see the work that we do.

This is what time, dedication, and a lot of patience results in. Although FURRR 911 was tagged on the original social media post, we also started receiving messages asking if we could help a brother and sister duo from Queens, NY. When we saw the pictures, we knew that we had to find a way to get these kittens to us.

After weeks of eye medications, the application of blood serum to the eyes, and two courses of different antibiotics, we finally saw improvement.
What initially appeared to be a ruptured globe (eyeball), which would eventually lead to an eye enucleation, turned out to be an intact eye with some corneal cloudiness. Definitely a win in our books.

The majority of our kittens arrive with parasitic infestations, infections, wounds, or poor body conditions due to life on the streets. We don't say no or shy away from even the worst cases because we believe that every kitten deserves the chance to live and be loved. With you by our side, we will continue to be a beacon of hope for orphaned and abandoned kittens as we keep our promise to never give up on finding them their happily ever after.

Thankfully, our loyal donors are always there to help us help the homeless and abandoned. Today, we need your continued support so that we can always be there for the next kittens who arrive at our door and desperately need our help.

❀️❀️❀️ Our rescue has two extra special kitty angels who have been staunch supporters of our rescue. The majority of our incubators have been donated by these two people. One angel lives locally while the other resides in Europe. We just received word from one of these angels that donations will be MATCHED up to $3000! That means that your donation will be doubled and have twice the impact. Please consider making a donation today. ❀️❀️❀️

Whether or not you donate this , please REACT (love and care emojis count more than the thumbs up like), COMMENT (even if you just say hello to us or let us know that you donated), and SHARE our posts. Our social media engagement is down so fewer people are seeing our posts which means that donations are being greatly affected. We really need to raise at least $3000 so that we can take advantage of this donation match.

This is what we do. FURRR 911 was contacted by a couple who noticed a stray cat coming by their rental house. Feeling bad for her, they put food out for her and realized that not only was she friendly, but she was also pregnant. Although pets were not allowed in the home, these caring people took her in while they planned to search for her owners. However, the mom cat had other ideas, and she gave birth to three kittens in less than 24 hours.

The concerned couple contacted our rescue seeking placement for this new family. They agreed to wait one week so as not to stress the mom out with moving her to a new home so soon after birth. And that is how Sophie and her three one week old babies (Sonny, Samuel, and Soraya) came to FURRR 911.

The mom, Sophie, was adopted first. The twins (because they look so alike), Sonny and Soraya, were adopted together. Now, we just have Samuel, the grey tuxedo, as he is a little more reserved than his family members. If you visit us at the Petsmart in Mohegan Lake on Saturdays, you will often see Samuel snuggled under his blanket until he decides it is time to come out to get some attention or hang upside down from the top of his crate.

During this holiday season, we are reminded how thankful we are to have amazing friends like you who share our passion for saving homeless animals. Thanks to your generosity and support, we were able to give this family a second chance and find loving adoptive homes for them.

Your support has helped FURRR 911 to rescue these kittens from the streets this fall. All these precious kittens are in loving foster homes as they receive veterinary care on their journey to adoptive homes. However, this preparation costs money. All of our kittens receive flea treatment, Snap testing for FIV/FeLV, multiple deworming medications, a full series of FVRCP vaccines, rabies vaccine, microchip, and neuter surgery BEFORE they leave our rescue. And kittens who are sick upon arrival need even more resources than just the "basics."

Your compassion and generosity this builds a brighter future for tomorrow's kittens. By donating today, your donation provides the gift of a safe home to an abandoned, orphaned, or unwanted kitten. Your support of FURRR 911 gives these kittens a second chance at a good life.

FURRR 911 is grateful for all of you and the support you provide all year long. We couldn't save lives without you. We are so fortunate to have such a compassionate community that believes in the work we do and walks alongside us as we rescue hundreds of homeless kittens each year. Together, we are making the world a safer and better place for stray kittens.

Today is - a day where your kindness and generosity truly have the power to save lives. We are hoping that you can support FURRR 911 this Giving Tuesday so that we can continue to rescue unwanted, homeless kittens.

FURRR 911 specializes in saving the youngest, sickest, most fragile, and vulnerable kittens who have no one else to turn to. All the kittens pictured above have joined our rescue in the past several weeks. Although the weather is changing, the need to shelter and care for homeless animals remains high.

FURRR 911 is a specialty kitten rescue focusing on the care of newborn and critically ill kittens. We are foster home based and entirely run by volunteers. As a result, every single dollar that you donate goes directly to the care of the animals we rescue.

Together, we can ensure that no kitten is left without the care they need to survive and thrive. However, this takes money, and we need your support now more than ever. We can't continue our rescue mission without your help.

For all of our rescue friends who will be searching for Cyber Monday deals, please don't forget to take a look at our Amazon and Chewy wishlists as well (see links below).

Our cats and kittens are mainly rescued as strays from the streets. Your support allows us to rescue, feed, socialize, and provide medical care for these animals while they wait to find homes of their own. Without your generosity, we would not be able to save as many kittens as we do each year. You are the pillars upon which our foster home based rescue organization rests.

FURRR 911 is a 501c3 non-profit organization. All your donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our organization does not receive any federal, state, or local funding. We rely entirely upon private donations from caring people such as yourself. We continue to save lives because you allow us to through your support.
