As you may know, spring and summer months typically bring a surge of cats and kittens to the nation’s animal shelters, and Moore Humane Society is no different. We are brimming with kittens of all ages, including seven kittens who were born at our shelter earlier this month. They come to us in many ways: as strays, as orphans or simply abandoned.

Virtually every kitty that comes through our shelter doors requires medical treatment. This can include vaccines, deworming, internal and external parasite removal, spay/neuter/rabies (when old enough). Sometimes these kittens require major medical care as well. As a private, non-profit organization, we rely solely on donations. Our ability to rescue homeless animals in need depends entirely on the compassion and generosity of the community.

During one kitten season, a single unspayed female cat can have two or three litters – a total of up to 20 kittens. One such kitten, 5 week old "Little Charmer," was abandoned and in desperate need of medical care. He is a true warrior; he fights for his life every day. It is our commitment to him and many others like him to make sure they get the help they need.

Please help Moore Humane Society continue its lifesaving work. There are many ways you can help cats and kittens:

• Adopt one of our lovable little felines - visit our shelter or PetSmart Cat room in July
• Donate canned cat food/kitten chow
  
• Donate KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer)
• Make a donation to help with cost of medical care
• Become a foster parent to kitties/cats that have special needs and need that extra special attention.
• Donate Advantage Flea/Tick for kittens

Donations can be dropped off at Moore Humane Society, located at Hwy. 22 in Carthage (at the intersection of Hwy. 22 and 15/501, next to Hillcrest Park). We are open Thursday through Tuesday from 12:00pm - 6:00pm (closed Wednesday). For more information, please contact us at 910-947-2631.
