It's Make a Difference Monday! Your support means a world of warmth and care for kitties like Lyric and her babies.

🧡 Will you open your home to foster? Fostering a cat is a rewarding way to make a meaningful difference in an animal's life. When you foster, you provide a safe, loving environment that helps a cat adjust to home life, increasing their chances of finding a forever family. For many rescued cats, foster homes offer the first taste of comfort and stability they may have ever known. Please apply to foster at www.ewhiskers.com/volunteer

Are you looking for companions on your journey to Middle-Earth? Look no further! Arwen and Aragorn are a bonded pair of tabby cats who will make your journey to Middle-Earth safer by being by your side! They were rescued together and must be adopted together, as they love to snuggle each other. This pair would love a home that understands that they need some time to settle in and feel safe. They are seeking a home with no small children and a home that is more on the quiet side. Is your home the perfect place to start the journey to Middle-Earth? Apply at ewhiskers.com/adoption (For those who don't understand the reference, this is from the Lord of the Rings)

Crosby here! I have been told that I am quite the looker. I was on the streets for awhile until a kind lady got me into Whiskers. Do you have a home for me that has no other kitties? You see, I had a rough start to life so I prefer to be your one and only king. Attention and food is the way to my heart! If you think you have a perfect home for me, apply to adopt me at ewhiskers.com/adoption and let’s get this furever thing started! I’m ready and waiting by the computer for your application!

It's Make a Difference Monday! Your generosity today will shape the future for cats in need. Here are some ways to leave a lasting legacy through a major gift:

🧡 Through Planned Giving you can include Whiskers in your estate planning, allowing you to leave a legacy that will help continue our lifesaving work for years to come. There are many ways you can plan a gift to Whiskers, including in your will, living trust, and life insurance policies. For more information, go to https://ewhiskers.com/plannedgiving2 or email [email protected].

🧡 Do you want to make a difference now? If you are at least 70 ½ years old, you can give via the IRA charitable rollover (QCD) from your IRA directly without having to pay income taxes on the donation (up to $100,000). https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/seniors-can-reduce-their-tax-burden-by-donating-to-charity-through-their-ira

🧡 Do you want to make a REALLY BIG difference now? Consider a gift of real estate. By donating real estate to Whiskers, you can make a meaningful contribution to our mission while potentially receiving significant tax benefits, such as:
o Avoiding capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated property
o Receiving a charitable income tax deduction
o Reducing estate taxes and simplifying estate planning

If you are interested in discussing any of these ways to give to Whiskers, please email [email protected].

It’s Make a Difference Monday! Please consider these ways to take part in Whiskers' mission.

🧡 It's getting cold outside! This time of year we get a lot of calls from people worried about cats that were abandoned outdoors. Please help us bring some of them in out of the cold by volunteering to foster. Fostering is a rewarding experience for both you and a homeless kitty. If you have room in your home and heart, please consider becoming a foster. Apply to foster at https://ewhiskers.com/volunteer/

🧡 We have a LOT of hungry kittens to feed in foster homes. Most needed are bags of Purina One Healthy Kitten dry food, but they do love their Kitten Fancy Feast wet as well! You can order this to be delivered to us using our Amazon wish list at www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/NKLJEPDU6FN9 Or, if you have food donations that you would like picked up, please send us a message on Facebook.

We recently responded to a heartbreaking situation where a family was evicted from a local apartment complex, leaving behind their cat and her five 4-month-old kittens. Thankfully, Collar City Vet stepped in to rescue four of the older kittens, while a kind neighbor took in the fifth. However, when the team returned to find the mama cat, she was nowhere to be found.

That’s when Whiskers stepped in. She was found in a crawl space where she had recently given birth to another litter of seven kittens. Sadly, three of these newborns didn’t survive, but we were able to save mama and her four remaining babies. They are now safe in a Whiskers’ foster home, receiving the care and love they need. The kittens and their mom are not yet available for adoption, but once they've been vetted, spayed or neutered, and settled into their new lives, they will be ready to find their forever homes.

If you can support us in any way during this time, whether through donations, fostering, or simply spreading the word , we deeply appreciate it. Thank you, as always, for your unwavering support.

It's Make a Difference Monday! There are so many ways you can help Whiskers - here are just a few.

🧡 Will you open your home to foster? This beautiful young cat in the photo was abandoned in Albany and found shelter in the bushes by a parking lot. A kind passerby noticed her and began bringing her food. Every day, she’d rush out to greet him when he called to her. A Whiskers volunteer picked up her up last night to get her in out of the cold. We believe that she is pregnant and we're are looking for a foster home for her.
