Now that it is official spring, City Kitties is experiencing a surge of requests for support with cats and kittens.  Unfortunately, City Kitties is completely full, and we have a wait list that is several months long.  We are unable to accept new requests to take on new cats or kittens at this time, and will not be able to take on any new kitties until some of our current kitties have found their forever homes.

Here’s how you can help:

• Adopt from City Kitties or other rescues, and encourage your friends and families to do the same.   Every cat adopted frees up a foster space for another kitty in need.
• Consider fostering for City Kitties or another local rescue.  Fostering literally saves lives!
• Take efforts to spay and neuter any cats that are outdoors — it can safely be assumed any female cat that is outside and un-spayed is pregnant, and will have 2-3 litters of kittens in the next few months.   By spaying even one cat, you can prevent dozens of homeless kittens from being born this season (which in turn prevents hundreds from being born next season!)
• Help spread the word about City Kitties, and encourage folks to adopt from us (or your local rescue!)

On behalf of all of the volunteers here at City Kitties, we would like to thank Ellen DeGeneres and Fancy Feast for your incredibly generous donation!  As you know, donations to City Kitties go directly to providing high quality vet care for all our rescued kitties and helping them to get the “happily ever after stories” that they deserve.  This donation will go a long ways towards helping cats here in West Philly!

We also want to thank Evan for being  such an awesome person and role model — you have inspired people all over the world to donate to City Kitties and their local rescues.  City Kitties would not be able to do what we do, if it weren’t for the generosity of folks like you.  Thank you so much for being you, and we are so proud of you and all that you do!

If you’ve been following City Kitties for a few years, you know that Evan is the coolest kid around! Every year, this stellar young man saves up his allowance and makes a donation to City Kitties, and every year, the donation grows.

For 2012, 10-year-old Evan donated an amazing $110, which his parents matched for a total of $220!! We are incredibly grateful for his support and super impressed with his generosity. As always, he included a letter with his donation (see below). And yes, Evan, we LOVE your cursive!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to Evan and all of City Kitties’ amazing supporters!
