📣 ANNOUNCEMENT!! 📣

Community 1st Humane Society of Wabash County is launching the Community Cares Cat & Kitten Program to help with the growing kitten crisis in our community.

Our mission is to provide financial assistance with spay/neuter, supplies including food to individuals who are currently or willing to assist with care for community cats and kittens in Wabash County. We will assist with fundraising campaigns and posts to help find fosters and adopters for those kitties who cannot be returned to their environment.

We’re seeking:
• Volunteers
• Fosters
• Supporters
• Donations & supplies

We receive no taxpayer dollars, so every donation goes directly toward helping cats and kittens in need. All donations are tax deductible.

Comment or message us to learn more or get involved. Thank you for your support! ❤️🐾

Friendly reminder as we are in the heart of "kitten season"

Please NEVER remove kittens from a cat mom's care. All need to be provided support together. If you notice young kittens in the community and are concerned about environmental factors please reach out for assistance or provide care so the mom can stay with her kittens. Mom cats will leave their babies periodically to eat, search for food/water etc..but will return to them. Feral and Community cats do not typically interact the same with humans as domestic cats do.

We have seen an alarming rise in kittens being dumped in the country or separated from their mom while they are tiny.

It is difficult to keep nursing kittens alive and well with bottle feeding so please before you attempt to intervene- reach out and think about what is best for the kitties

With the kitten crisis continuing in Wabash County and a major rise this year in abandoned, orphaned, and dumped kittens throughout our city and county, while citizens often have virtually nowhere to take them, Community 1st Humane Society of Wabash County is increasing focus on emergency kitten support.

Our community has been flooded for years with citizens trying to help animals in need while often being left scrambling to find help on their own. Because of that, foster and rescue networks are carrying more and more of the burden.

We urgently need fosters willing to take in:
• Bottle-fed kittens
• Kittens with a nursing momma cat

Community 1st Humane Society will supply everything needed, cover spay/neuter and vaccinations, and work to get the kittens adopted into loving homes.

We receive NO tax dollars and are funded solely through donations and community support.

If you can foster or help in any way, please message Community 1st Humane Society of Wabash County

Thank you for helping us provide assistance to animals in need. We strive daily to keep our foster families thriving!

We are happy to announce our partnership with KK Cat Rescue to provide additional fostering services to community and feral cats from Wabash County. They will be assisting with fostering needs while Community 1st will be providing financial assistance for spay/neuter, medical, and care expenses.

This opportunity helps to provide a loving environment for kitties to land while they are waiting to be spayed/neutered and either returned to area they came from or adopted out
