#GivingTuesday

Giving Tuesday is here! This world-wide event is the perfect time to give to your favorite nonprofits. This year, we hope you choose to help cats and kittens in Bakersfield. 

We are in great need of food, litter, crates and other various supplies, and we have updated out Amazon Wishlist to reflect our most current necessitates. Please consider donating food that will help feed cats in our foster homes, and community cats that we manage through TNR programs. We also need litter, crates, cleaning supplies, and flea treatment for our foster felines. Once we receive your items, Mr. Lake will post an official thank you on our Facebook page. 

You can also become a member for Giving Tuesday for as little as $25. We are an all-volunteer organization, so your membership fee goes straight to helping cats.

We also need monetary donations of any amount. Every penny counts. Please share with your friends!

Charlie, Harley, and Turtle

Charlie, Turtle, and Harley go to Petco every week, but they are never adopted. They need your help. They were bottle fed by John, their wonderful foster dad, starting at 2 weeks old. They are now 7 months old, and no one has adopted them. John has done an excellent job raising them, and they have grown up to be awesome cats. They love affection, playtime, and their cat tree. They desperately need your help in finding their forever home. Please consider giving them a chance! They will make someone very happy!

Fill out this form if you are interested in adopting one or all of them:

National Feral Cat Day

Today is #feralcatday and Mr. Lake has a special request to help homeless kitties. He was dumped at the park when he was 12. Completely declawed and scared, he wandered through the park trying to find someone to help him. During his journey, he encountered many feral cats that had spent their whole lives outside. He noticed they were scared of humans, but he watched them play, cuddle, meow and purr while they tried their best to enjoy life in the often dangerous park. One morning as he made his way to the foothills, Mr. Lake heard a car and voices. He ran towards the sound and found kind people feeding the cats on tortillas. The volunteers noticed he was covered in fox tails, cuts, and blisters and took him into the vet. Mr. Lake is happy and safe now, but he knows there are other cats out there in need of food and care. In honor of National Feral Cat Day, Mr. Lake is hoping that you will donate to help with the cost of food, vet care, and trap and release efforts at the park. Even $5 helps! We are an all volunteer organization meaning every cent goes towards helping felines. Donate today!

Momma cat rescue

Need some help getting through your Monday? We’ve got you covered. Check out this video of our precious new rescue kitties by clicking here. We brought in a very friendly female cat that had just been dumped at the park. We immediately scheduled her to be spayed, but just two days before her appointment, she gave birth to three kittens! We had no idea she was pregnant, but we are so thankful that she was able to give birth to her babies in her foster home. If you would like to help, consider donating to their care. We are an all-volunteer organization, and we rely on donations like yours to help cats.

Serenity

Cat lovers, we need you to send positive energy, good thoughts, and prayers to sweet little Serenity. When she was rescued, she was helpless and alone trying to nurse four two week old kittens. She has been doing okay, but her foster mom noticed something was off. She rushed her to the vet, and they discovered she has the start of kidney failure. She will be hospitalized all weekend on IV. We will be using the extra funds we received for Gizmo's surgery, but it will not cover the expense. If you have a few extra bucks, consider donating to her cause.
