Not on My Watch: Helping Henry Co. Care & Control

Yesterday, we really had a big day. Between a lot of dedicated cat rescuers, we were able to save one, maybe two lives from Henry County. The sad thing is, that between 200 and 300 die EVERY MONTH. I said, EVERY MONTH.

Our efforts inspired Betsy Merchant, our contact at Henry, to reach out and ask for some financial support. She is willing to take a risk, but we need to help finance what she wants to do. Right now, it means life for three older kittens-their photos are posted in this article. Maybe later, it will mean life for three more once the first group finds homes.

From Betsy: “I know there are cat people out there who want to help but are unable.

We have ONE quarantine condo open at Henry Humane and I will take these 3 larger, older kittens over tomorrow so they do not have to die if I can get some financial help toward their vetting. We take as many felines as we can from AC that I never even bother to advertise, right now we still have several of our spring bottle kittens who have not been adopted, and almost ALL of our last years kittens who are now adults. We are at capacity but hopefully these babies could be altered now since they are bigger and get adopted QUICKLY while they are still young and cute!

Although we are all doing as much as we can 200-300 cats and kittens a month are still dying at our shelter. I am having SUCH a hard time this year dealing with the death. I have so many kittens at home right now we are on serious overload.

If anyone would like to help me with some sponsorship money please let me know and I will pull them before eutho tomorrow.

Donations can be made at HENRY HUMANE

When you make your donation, you MUST ADD:

3 ANIMAL CONTROL KITTENS PER BETSY

so the donation goes to these kittens.

Why is your donation going to Henry Humane and NOT Henry Co. Care & Control? Because the cats are taken FROM animal control, TO Henry Humane so they will be safe and out of danger of being put down.

Is this a tax deduction? YES!!! Is this going to directly go to kittens to save their lives? YES! Can you spare $1 or $5? That's all we really need. If we all donate together those small amounts will easily cover what they need and then some. I just made a donation of $100.00 right now. I hope you will join me even if it's $1. It's ALL GOOD.

Thank you so much for caring for these helpless creatures. Let's see if we can save a few more lives today!
