UPDATE 9:50PM: We need $260 more to pay off our vet balance! Thank you all so much for your support!
$5 FRIDAY — WE ARE BEGGING FOR HELP
Yesterday was our bowling fundraiser, and while we are incredibly grateful to the 20 or so people who showed up and supported Kittens In The Mitten, we have to be honest… 20 people showing up is heartbreaking and extremely disappointing.
We raised just $184 from the event.
And today, we are staring at a $2,500 veterinary bill that needs to be paid.
That $2,500 isn't for weeks or months of care.
That's ONE DAY of vet visits for our rescue.
If we can't get this bill paid, our upcoming appointments will be canceled. And we simply cannot afford to have the medical care our cats need put on hold.
We are struggling.
Our intake is already CLOSED, and if something doesn't change soon, I honestly don't know how much longer Kittens In The Mitten can continue operating.
There are 200 cats in our care who depend on us every single day. They don't understand fundraising. They don't understand empty bank accounts. They just know that they need food, litter, medications, veterinary care, and someone to keep showing up for them.
And I'm exhausted.
I'm burned out.
I'm scared.
I have poured everything I have into these cats, but I cannot do this alone.
So today, on $5 Friday, we're asking you to please step up.
If $5 is all you can give, please give $5.
If you can give $10, $20, $50 or more, it will make an even bigger difference.
If you can't donate, PLEASE share this post. Sharing costs nothing and could put this in front of someone who can help.
We aren't asking because we want to.
We're asking because we desperately need to.
We need our supporters to show up for us—not just online, but when we hold fundraisers and when we are begging for help to keep the doors open.
Because the reality is becoming painfully clear:
If something doesn't change, Kittens In The Mitten may not be here much longer.
And when we are gone, the ones who suffer aren't us.
It's the cats who are counting on us to keep going.
Please don't let it get to that point.
Please help us keep going. Please help us keep saving them. Please help us make it through another day.
$5 Friday. We are begging.
