Kitty Angels
Kitty Angels is a community resource but is not connected with any town or government agency. Although some of our cats come from households which can no longer care for them, the majority of the cats in our care are the very neediest of animals, such as strays or feral (wild) cats, which are in urgent need of medical treatment. Kitty Angels is operated entirely by volunteers who care for the animals in the shelter facilities, do around-the-clock trapping and field work associated with the control of feral cat colonies throughout the area, and act as foster care givers for animals that are sick or otherwise in need of special care and attention. The past several years have been very busy ones for the shelter and our population of needy animals has continued to grow. We take in and place hundreds of cats each year and deal with many feral cat populations throughout eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Entirely through the efforts of its volunteers, Kitty Angels placed over 900 cats into life-long, loving homes last year. While a few of these animals came into the shelter and went out to homes with nothing more than neutering, vaccinations, leukemia and FIV ("feline AIDS") testing, and a veterinary exam, others received many hundreds of dollars of veterinary care. Some required extended rabies quarantine periods due to extensive wounds of unknown origin. Kitty Angels is 100% dependent upon adoption fees and the tax-deductible donations of individuals and organizations. For us to continue our work we are in constant need of good, life-long, loving homes and the financial support of generous and caring people.
