Aunt Helen's Cats In Need

Aunt Helen's Cats In Need We are a 501c3 cat rescue who's primary focus is TNR, spay neuter & financial vet bill assistance. Visit us at www.ahcinf.org for more info

We partner with local rescues, vets and provide trapping resources for strays and lost pets. Aunt Helen's Cats In Need is local network of volunteer TNR trappers and fosters of stray and feral cats and kittens. We are registered as a 501c3 nonprofit. Your donations are tax deductible as defined under the IRS Code. We are not an animal shelter. Along with our sister organization, Lets Trap Around

the Lehigh Valley, we primarily focus on providing trapping assitance for TNR in Lehigh and Northampton Counties. We organize a weekly TNR clinic to help reduce the stray cat and kitten numbers and trap/transfer/recover strays for multiple community rescues or shelters that have TNR contracts with local municipalities . We also provide support to community cat caretakers - feeder/caretaker education/assistance, medical resources, community education and where possible, limited orphan kitten/cat rescue for strays and ferals other rescues are unable to take. All expenses, for the most part, come out of our own pockets. Finding suitable and loving forever homes for the adoptable felines, insuring the long term care for our TNR colonies and reducing the numbers of stray cats in our communities is our goal. We can be reached at 484-225-3586. Donate via PayPal or watch our page for community events where you can stop by with donations

🚨Kittennapping Possible Neonates-Allentown 🚨 to our fellow rescues heads up we just had a male resident of Allentown call at 12:45pm Tuesday with 11 kittens that he claimed were pulled out from under his shed.

The kittens were howling in the background -- the kind of crying that only occurs when kittens are desperately hungry, in pain, stressed or frantically looking for their mother after an extended separation. Anyone in rescue (especially kitten rescue) will recognize these cries.

From the little info we gathered were very likely in the 3-5 week range and the fact there are so many leads us to believe these are several litters- so small and defenseless a regular person was able to just scoop them up.

Though we explained this was likely approaching an emergency because kittens this age need their mom to eat every few hours, to teach them to eat solids and proper plans should be put in place to catch her to stop the breeding (this is why Allentown has *thousands* of stray cats) - this caller was not interested in hearing this.

We pleaded with them to send a photo to give an address and they indicated they would just be taking them to Lehigh humane and should they be turned away from there we suspect he will attempt to change the story and location before trying new rescues or else dump them somewhere off his property.

If anyone is able to receive these kittens please try to get the address they came from (ask for id for surrender) so that trapping efforts can be attempted. If not for reunification at least to get moms fixed for free at Lehigh humane.

From the insistent crying of the babies this is likely a time sensitive issue. The caller has a phone number that ends in *532. We did not receive any other info on where they came from or what has been done so far. They have already been turned away by two rescues though.

Barn Homes needed - we have an urgent situation where one or two barn homes are needed for cats that have lost their caretakers. In both cases the cats have no where to go and time is unfortunately of the essence as their former homes need to be emptied by mid August.

All cats have been recently vetted, brought up to date on vaccines, felv/fiv negative and spayed/neutered. Please contact us and share this post so we can look for a safe place for both cats to land. They don’t have to go together they are not bonded.
