These too-cute-for-words five kittens are all named after Big Bang Theory characters. They are heading up to Forever Home Feline Ranch where they will find their forever homes. Thank you to the Ranch for helping us save them! Without their agreeing to help, these babies probably wouldn't be with us anymore. Yay for rescue!
Let's meet them, shall we? (We need a little help funding these babies, so please scroll to the bottom if you can chip in for the fundraiser.)
The 5-Piece Nuggets, as we've been calling them, were originally six. Unfortunately one of the siblings didn't make it, but the other five are perfect, adorable, healthy, well-mannered, super sweet and just going to make the best family members for some lucky adopters!
They slept at my house last night, since I'm the first driver of the transport this morning. We had an absolute blast! Kittens are so silly.
Moo greeting our sleepover guests! |
Sweet baby with the hippo I gave them. They love it! |
This little girl will melt you with her eyes. |
Here is one of them on my lap last night!

We can do these transports only thanks to donations, and thanks to our rescue partners (especially our partner here, Good Karma Pet Rescue!) who make sure all the kitties are vetted, vaccinated, tested, speutered and each is required to get a health certificate to travel. We do get great rescue rates, but when you are saving so many kitties, it does add up!
We want to keep saving kitties, but we need some help. I've set up a donation page to help with the costs for all these babies that have gone. It is not all that we have spent, but it's definitely a help. Anything we raise above this will go to saving and vetting future transport kitties (and there WILL be more!).
The estimated breakdown of some of our costs (these costs are approximate, and probably low):
Speutering - $35 if we go to our low-cost place
Vaccinating/vet visits - estimate $20 per kitty
Testing - $15 per kitty
Health certificate per kitty - $15
Supplies per transport - $40 to $50
So far this year we have transported 186 kitties! Imagine how much we've spent. But it's all way worth it, of course!
So if you can spare a few dollars, we'd definitely appreciate it. The money we raise will go to Good Karma and Forever Home Feline Ranch. If not, please share so your friends might -- and just to spread the word about our transports! And no matter what, let's cheer these 5 nuggets on as they head on their journey home!
