A Wonderful Charity-Kitten Angels

I want to take a minute to share about a wonderful charity I have been sending coupons to. My friend Arie lives in NY and along with a small group of volunteers and foster families, has been running a charity called Kitten Angels. They rescue cats and kittens and take in strays. They are currently supporting several animals in foster homes as well as at least two cats with special needs- one that is blind, and another that was rescued after serving as bait to train pit bulls for dog fighting.

About two months ago I'd heard that their main donor had stopped donating food to her charity and her and the other volunteers had taken on the cost of buying all the supplies for Kitten Angels.

Here are some pictures of the kitties they have and their stories from Arie. Please be warned that some of these might make you cry.



Babies - These are some of the newest additions who are adoptable. They were given names, but I can't tell them apart. LOL.



Boots - he's our jail house cat! He was found (and taken excellent care of) by an inmate until he could get into our program. He is THE most lovable cat from an unfortunate situation.



Cloud - is an adult cat who holds a special place in my heart. We got a call from the police department that there was a pit bull fight going on in a terrace of 4 apartment buildings. (Here in NY, it's common to have 4 buildings all against each other forming a + shape. The the center of the + is a empty lot, usually called a terrace... if that makes any sense). Apparently, there was a pit bull fight ring set up in the terrace, and they were using kittens as bait to train the pit bulls. Cloud was one of those kittens. We rescued her and rushed her to an emergency vet, where they actually had to construct artificial bowels and a rectum for her, and piece her back together. (I didn't see this thank heavens, but she was literally in pieces I'm told.) After months of intensive care, she was deemed healthy, but unadoptable because of her fear of movements, dogs, and loud noise. She will probably never be adopted, but she is one of our forever kittens. We'll keep her with us always and give her the best life we can.



Feather - he was a happy, healthy kitten who found a home the day after he became available!



Mr.Sunshine - Feather's brother. Another happy, healthy kitten. He and Feather went to the same home on the same day!



Snuggles - is my BABY! She is an adult cat who has special needs. She was a stray cat, who was hit by a car. The accident was so fierce that it detached her retinas, rendering her totally blind. She is SO happy, and SO loving, and just wants to snuggle and cuddle and be held. We're still looking for her forever home, but she is currently in foster care with a long time foster family who is taking care of her.



Tucker - He's an abandoned stray kitten that we took in recently. We had to bottle feed him because he wasn't even old enough for wet food yet."


I am happy to report they were able to buy all the cat food they needed for their kitties for just $44 this month! But they can definitely use any other coupons we can send. Many people throw their cat food coupons away, but please, just take a minute to think of these cute faces. All it takes is a few minutes to clip coupons and a $0.44 stamp to send them. If anyone has any coupons to donate, please let me know!

Keep up the good work Arie!
