Hi all, CityKitty has been hard at work rescuing cats in need around Minneapolis this Spring/Summer. In the month of July alone, we've rescued over 30 kittens and cats. As a reminder, we are an independent rescue with hopes of one day becoming an official non-profit. We rely on community support for funding and fostering the animals in our care. This kitten season has been the toughest of the last several years. Long-term impacts of the pandemic, the housing crisis, inflation, and generational poverty have greatly impacted the numbers of abandoned, stray, and feral cats we see on the streets. We are tagged in online posts daily with pleas for help with cats around Minneapolis. Our president, Brianne, has been trapping cats nightly at multiple colonies to help control the kitten crisis this season. Caring for this high volume of cats has depleted our funds raised over the holidays. The cost of food, litter, medicine, and vet care are all increasing along with everything else. We have also had several setbacks this year. Just this weekend, one of our traps was stolen. Last month, our game camera, which we rely on to monitor cats outdoors, was stolen. We have also recently helped care for several cats in dire medical conditions, which comes with large medical bills. We know times are tough right now. Even $5 makes a difference! Or, if you are interested in fostering, we can provide you with the supplies needed. Fostering is a great way to give back to the kitty community and saves the lives of animals every day. We also always need help with transporting cats to appointments, usually in the mornings and sometimes pickups in the afternoons. Our Venmo is @CityKittyRescue Thank you all in advance for helping us help the kitties!
