Opal & Lottie would like to invite you to our Fall Sustainer Drive! Please share! If you ever doubt the good that a Goathouse Sustainer can do for a needy cat or kitten, then you need to come meet Opal and Lottie. If they could talk, they would most likely say “thank you so much Goathouse Sustainers, you remembered us – two of the forgotten kittens of NC.” Opal and Lottie became best friends from the moment they first met. These two have been doing everything together – they literally cry out for each other when separated. Lottie and Opal are both survivors who are bonded by their similar fate. Opal and Lottie smallerOpal was in very bad shape when she arrived, barely able to eat on her own. Lottie is a kitten who was living alone in a feral colony after losing her mom. What better way to let us continue to help the forgotten kittens like Lottie and Opal than to become a Goathouse Sustainer? goathouserefuge.org/become-a-sustainer/ And we need 100 new Sustainers to have a successful Fall Sustainer Drive! Most cats at the Goathouse Refuge come from high kill shelters, but during kitten season we also take in a lot of abandoned kittens – kittens who are born on the streets; kittens whose mothers were killed by dogs; kittens who are dumped like garbage from cars or near a busy road or at a Walmart or outside our gate – it is HEARTBREAKING. These are the ‘forgotten kittens’ of North Carolina, who are born to die nameless, without ever knowing a loving hand, and who suffer because there are still not enough people who spay and neuter their pets and support local TNR-efforts. Without food, treatment for their illnesses, and protection against cars, coyotes, and other predators, these kittens die tragic deaths. They are left alone outside, scared, hungry, and often quite sick and the window for these kittens to find rescue is extremely short. The Goathouse has taken in several of these forgotten kittens this kitten season. These kittens had the great fortune to be found by someone who cared and who then brought them to us. They often had an uphill battle to fight: dehydrated, hungry, sick, anemic because of fleas, and sometimes wounded, and always scared…but thanks to the efforts of our wonderful staff, vet techs, volunteers, and, last but not least, our wonderful team of fosters, we were able to save all of them and turn them into loving, trusting little creatures who are healthy and ready to find their forever homes. Sustainers are the ones who let us have a ‘known’ monthly income so we can continue to do this. Can you come join our wonderful Refuge as a Sustainer? Any amount helps! THANK YOU! And know that your sustaining gift helps the forgotten kittens and others like them.
