You just found a group of tiny newborn kittens 🐈‍⬛ and their mother is nowhere to be seen 👀. Before that rescue instinct kicks in and you scoop them up, take a deep breath, step back and evaluate the situation. 🧠

Spaying or neutering your pet is an important part of responsible pet ownership. By getting your cat fixed, you can help reduce overpopulation and prevent a number of potential health or behavioural issues.

With that being said, we understand that the cost of having your pet fixed can be a barrier for some families. That is why we are committed to providing low-income cat owners access to affordable spay and neuter surgeries through SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program). SNAP services include an initial examination, spay or neuter surgery, and permanent identification (microchip or tattoo) for your cat(s). This is a sliding-scale program, based on financial need. If you or someone you know could benefit from SNAP’s services, please visit meowfoundation.com/spay-neuter-assistance to apply.

SNAP is funded largely through the generosity of our donors. If you would like to help support our community-oriented programs, including SNAP, please consider making a donation today at https://gcld.co/wgbraLg. 💙

“If just 6 percent more people chose to adopt versus purchase their pets, we would end the killing of dogs and cats in our nation’s shelters,” Julie Castle (), CEO of Best Friends Animal Society, said in a press release.

“Pets don’t belong in shelters, they belong at home. Our ‘Bring Love Home’ campaign is designed to bring awareness to dogs and cats still being killed in U.S. shelters simply because they don’t have safe places to call home.”

Be sure to submit your pet by posting a picture or video of them with the hashtag . Together, we’re going to flood the internet with the proof that home can look so different - and pets thrive in them all! -Sarah

Two lovable but picky cats have decided they want to trade the cat wheel they have never used for a cat tree. Active cats like Bengals love cat wheels and will sometimes use them for hours every day! This one is going for $100 and measures 46" in circumference (1.57meters). Leave a comment if you're interested and I will put you in touch with the picky cats' human.🐱🐱

Today is Homeless Animals Day - not a day for celebrating but an important topic nonetheless. The animal welfare industry has been carrying the weight of overpopulation for years & there is no end in sight. Resources are scarce, space is limited & our hearts are heavy. The Task Force continues to try & do our part by providing on-site spay & neuter clinics as well as various programs for pet owners in need, but it isn't enough 💔

Today we ask for YOUR help to reduce the number of homeless animals! We can all start by spaying/neutering our own animals to reduce overpopulation. If you're looking to add a pet to your family - PLEASE consider adopting! If you have space in your home, rescues are in dire need of foster families to create space in shelters. If you're unable to adopt or foster, volunteer at your local shelter - if you can't volunteer, donate to reputable rescues. You can help people & animals right now by sharing this post to shine a light on the growing animal crisis we are facing 💚👣💙🐾

If you are giving away free kittens, with no adoption process, you are taking a HUGE risk with your kittens‼️All you want is a “good home” for them, but here are your obstacles:

1. PEOPLE WILL LIE TO YOU. 😕
I’ve done it myself to get kittens out of a bad situation! AND it was easy, because the right questions were not being asked.

2. PEOPLE WITH BAD INTENTIONS LOOK FOR FREE KITTENS. 😭
These folks will DEFINITELY lie to you, often having someone more trusting pose as the adopter instead of themselves. Snake food, dog fighting, abuse, etc. Is this the majority? I don’t think so, but these people DO exist and it’s important to ask the right questions to potential adopters to be able to spot them.

3. YOUR KITTENS DESERVE MEDICAL CARE. 🤒
If you love your kittens, you want to be sure that they are dewormed, flea-treated, microchipped and vaccinated at the proper ages. You also want to be sure that your adopter will be able to afford to have them spayed or neutered before they reach sexual maturity (around 4 months of age) or be able to handle an emergency vet bill should one arise. If they can’t afford a small adoption fee, there’s a good chance they won’t be able to afford proper vet care the kitten NEEDS.

4. KITTENS MAY BE RETURNED. 🐈
As an individual, you are not accustomed to rehoming animals everyday. Take it from shelters and rescues… animals are returned for a variety of reasons. Where shelters and rescues have the ability to take them back, you, as an individual, may not. This is a bad situation for the innocent kitten as no one wants it.

If you do not have your mama cat spayed ASAP and you are giving away free, unaltered kittens, you are linking yourself to the huge overpopulation crisis that shelters and rescues are working so hard against everyday. ❌ You HAVE to look at this with a different perspective… the problem is so much bigger than just you and your litter of kittens.

If you are in Lynchburg or the surrounding counties and need help fixing a kitten or cat over the age of 3 months, please send us a message. WE ARE HERE TO HELP! If you are elsewhere, use google to find some resources in your area that may help. 🤓

Join us in sharing, believing and supporting
for the health and welfare of our smallest furry friends. 💜
