Helping Animal Rescues

Aunt Xiao Ping and kittens

It seems like just yesterday my current batch of kittens came home.  They are growing like weeds and getting along well with all of our animals and with the kids.  It is such a wonderful opportunity to help homeless animals and teach my girls about helping.

In four weeks our batch of kittens will be old enough to be spayed/neutered and find homes of their own.  They will go to the vet to have their surgery, recover, then Homeward Bound will place them for adoption.

While not everyone can spare the time or space to foster kittens, there is a lot anyone can do.  Every shelter, vet hospital, and rescue can always use donations.  Old sheets, towels, blankets, and linens are always welcomed to give homeless animals a soft place to lay.  Pillowy items can only be used once as they cannot be sanitized.  Monetary donations are always welcomed as well.  A friend and fellow blogger, Mindy, has an interesting way of donating to rescues.  She is a wonderful artist and donates paintings and drawings to be auctioned or sold for money.

Rescue groups always need help.  There is never enough people assisting them.  Anything anyone can give is appreciated.  Next time you have linens or old towels, consider donating them to a rescue instead of throwing them away.
