We have lots and lots and lots of kittens looking for their forever homes. We are holding three adoption events this Saturday, July 31st and the adoption fee is only $50.00. That's about $300 worth of vet care for only $50.

Tigger Sue doesn't seem to have a care in the world at the adoption event last weekend. In fact, she snoozed through a good portion of it with her head on her little furry mouse. Too cute!

Below is an email from one of our adopters to one of our supporters; thank you for the kind words.
This is why we rescue and why we work so hard for the feral cats and kittens born into feral colonies. Over 95% of the kittens in our adoption program are born in feral colonies. Sometimes the kittens come to us as early as a few days old or a few weeks old, sometimes they are pushing 9 weeks and it's more time and work to socialize, but it's worth it. We work hard with the caregivers to help spay/neuter the feral cats so no more kittens. Systematic spay/neuter is the only way to help end overpopulation.
The Alley Cats & Angels program is so wonderful – they’ve figured out a way to address the overpopulation of feral cats in a truly caring manner, both for the adult ferals AND the babies (giving the babies a chance at a domesticated life that is far safer and happier than they EVER would have had otherwise).
Thank for being a part of the organization that brought us such a sweet new addition to our family (and for keeping her from becoming just another wild feral cat whose lifespan could likely be counted in days instead of years)!
These babies were rescued from the back deck of an empty house back in May when we got a call from a realtor that found them. The kittens were around 3.5 weeks old and were very sickly and malnourished. They went to a foster home where they were bottle fed until they were well enough to eat on their own and then moved to a different foster home. Lee is one of the kittens that went to the specialist at Animal Eye Care when she was only about 7 weeks old and she had cataracts - but the vet thought it might resolve on its own as she continued to receive proper nutrition.
These four will be spayed/neutered and receive the rest of their vetting tomorrow. They are now big and strong and healty and available for adoption after the weekend.
Levi is the black kitten, Wrangler is the grey creme tabby and Lee and Jordache are the dilute torbies -- they are practically twins.
