AAR needs kitten foster homes and Sun article!

[wrobert]

I want to bump this - I wish I had the room to foster some kittens, but I want to let everyone know how big a problem this is - since this message was posted asking for help, the Walton County Animal control has picked up 10 more litters of stray and abandoned kittens. 10 LITTERS in 5 days - that's somewhere between 30 and 50 kittens since 5/15.

You can see these pitiful orphans at:

AAR was already swamped before, and it is indeed kitten season, so there will be more.

If you have the room to foster, or think it might be time for a new kitten, please call the good folks at AAR.

This is really, really sad. I know people drop off kittens and cats from time to time at my house, since we live out in the rural part of the county, and it is so hard to take care of them and have them all fixed to prevent an explosion. The county could save so much money putting together a spay/neuter program, instead of just talking about it.

My heart just breaks for the little guys.

I know that the school year is almost over - so I would love to suggest that there is nothing like teaching kids responsibility, love, and so much more than by involving them in rearing a litter of kittens.

How do you think I turned out so great?
