SCC foster, Jess, took these tiny, orphaned kittens under her wing earlier this month. Fostering kittens so small without their mom is tricky business that often takes unexpected turns, which is what happened this past week. So, Onyx and Opal took an unplanned trip to see the vet. Fortunately, they’re holding their own, but they will need follow up treatment.
Caring for these kittens, along with others we’re fostering, is very expensive. In the month of June, we paid $1,814.14 on vet visits for sick kittens and another $877.93 for their food, litter, and other supplies. To date this year, we’ve spent $15,725.21 on vet expenses, whether for sick cats or spay/neuter as part of our TNR program. Funds are flowing out fast, and we need to keep $$$ coming in to be able to keep doing what we’re doing. We’re happy to help the kitties, but we need your support to do it. Our donors are a crucial part of our team! If you’d like to help by making a donation, please see the options below. We have a Facebook fundraiser set up as well as links to our website donate page in the comments. All contributions go 100% towards helping cats, and we're 100% manned by volunteers. As always, your support is greatly appreciated!

Wow! Bet they don't have any rodent problems!

Tashirojima Island in Japan is a real island, also known as "Cat Island." Located in the Sea of Japan, it is famous for being home to hundreds of cats. These cats have been a part of the island's local history, as they were once used to control the rodent population. Over time, however, the cats have become a tourist attraction.
Today, Tashirojima Island draws visitors from all over the world who come to see the cats living freely on the island. It has also gained widespread attention online, becoming a unique destination for cat lovers.

Looks like Daisy and May are continuing to make progress on their path to sweetness, as opposed to the hissy, defensive kitties they were on arrival at Linda's house. They still have their ups and downs, but there's plenty of hope for them to have excellent futures.

How can you say no to that face? Burgundy is a little bit shy but once she gets used to you, she's all cuddles. This 12-week-old cutie is fully vetted and ready for her forever home. Her sisters are also ready to go. Applying to adopt from us couldn't be easier, simply go our website salemscats.com/adopt and fill out the online form. There's also a printable version available. Be part of the solution by adopting a rescue kitty (or two)!

No excuses, get those vaccinations up to date. Scheduling an appointment at Vita Veterinary Care couldn't be easier. Why take the chance?

Are your pets up to date on their vaccines? A recent report confirmed a case of rabies in a cat from Argyle, NY. Unfortunately the cat reportedly bit three people exposing them to rabies before being contained for testing.

Get on our schedule ASAP to get your pets current on all their vaccinations.

We will gladly answer any questions you may have regarding rabies and your pets.
