Meet Whitney & her Kittens
During the time of year when temperatures plummet below zero, many animals left out to fend for themselves and can fall victim to the cold. Whitney is one of the lucky ones, having been rescued from an outdoor residential colony after Animal Aid was alerted about the situation. The very next day, Whitney delivered 7 adorable kittens and Animal Aid ensured they all received the proper medical attention. With the help of our partner rescue, we were able to insure Whitney and her kittens stayed healthy and when the time came, the kittens would be able to find loving homes.
It is especially important during these cold winter months that Animal Aid is able to help animals in need, since it is when they are the most at risk from the elements and because of your support, we were able to help Whitney and her kittens get them the needed food, supplies, and vetting they needed to ensure that they would go on to live long happy lives in their forever homes.
Meet Toe Beans! This sweet little kitten arrived in November, just 9 weeks old, when he was discovered curled up in a pile of leaves. Unfortunately, just two days after his rescue, things took a turn for the worse. Toe Beans started showing signs of illness, and after a visit to the vet, we learned that he had a serious blockage in his intestines, likely caused by something he had eaten while outside. With great care from our vets and the loving support of his foster home, Toe Beans was able to make a full recovery. Now, at 16 weeks old, he’s a healthy, happy kitten ready to find his forever home!
Toe Beans’ journey would not have been possible without the generosity of donors like you, as well as the continued support of Bingo World and Gaming. Your donations make it possible for us to rescue and care for animals in need, and we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for helping us give more animals a chance at a better life!
At Animal Aid & Adoption, we witness many heartbreaking cases, but some stories stick with us more than others. One such story is about a man whose love for cats quickly spiraled into a situation of overwhelming neglect – a tale that reflects the tragedy of hoarding and the need for greater awareness and action.
It all started innocently enough. This man, with a heart full of compassion, began feeding a few stray cats that had wandered into his yard. At first, he felt he was doing the right thing, helping animals in need. However, without realizing it, the situation began to escalate. He didn’t spay or neuter the animals, and soon enough, the cats started multiplying. What began as a handful of cats soon became dozens and the chaos quickly spread.
As the number of cats grew, so did the challenges. The backyard, once a safe space for the strays, became overcrowded and filthy. With no way to properly care for them, disease, fleas, and ticks ran rampant. Without the necessary medical care and attention, many of the cats were sure to develop eye infections, respiratory problems, malnutrition which would cause problems with their teeth.
But amidst the overwhelming situation, there was a small glimmer of hope. The man realizing he couldn’t manage the ever-growing population of cats, allowed Animal Aid & Adoption to step in and with his permission, two 8 month old kittens Olivia and Benson were rescued from the overcrowded yard. The kittens were lucky that they didn’t have any severe health issues. One kitten only had fleas, which we were able to treat immediately.
In a quiet neighborhood, there lived a remarkable woman I call the Angel of Mercy. With a heart full of kindness, she dedicated her life to helping animals in distress. Every day, she fed the stray cats in her area and built outdoor shelters for those she couldn’t bring inside. Her home, a sanctuary for many, often found itself bursting at the seams with furry friends in need.
One chilly evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, she heard frantic meows and scratching at her back door. It was a little cat, barely a year old, desperately crying to come inside. This was unusual behavior for a feral cat, and the woman sensed that something was terribly wrong. Despite her home being full, she knew she couldn’t turn the cat away. With a gentle heart, she opened the door and welcomed her in.
With no available space left inside, she quickly set up her bathroom as a temporary refuge. The bathtub was lined with soft blankets and a cozy pillow, and she provided food and water. The little cat, relieved to be safe, settled in for the night.
But in the early hours of the morning, strange sounds filled the bathroom. Curious, the lady peeked in to find the little cat had given birth to a litter of the most adorable kittens. The sight tugged at her heartstrings—this brave mother had risked everything to protect her young.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, the lady immediately contacted Animal Aid & Adoption. Our dedicated team sprang into action, getting the new family examined by a veterinarian. To everyone’s relief, both the mother and kittens received a clean bill of health.
