Rescue cats from being euthanized at local shelter

Chester, a young orange tomcat, was surrendered to a local city shelter due to a leg injury.  Without the luxury of an x-ray machine, the shelter vet guessed that his rear leg was broken and would likely need amputation, and therefore he would not be made available for adoption.  The only way he could escape euthanasia was if a rescue group pulled him from the shelter.  Enter New Beginnings Cat Rescue.  We immediately took him from the shelter to our vet where he was neutered and x-rayed.  What was thought to be a broken leg turned out to be 4 broken toes, which would NOT require amputation, much to our and Chester's relief!  The vet explained that he could pin the 2 middle toes and the other 2 toes would fall in line, which is exactly what they did.  Today Chester is living it up in a foster home!  He makes weekly trips to the vet to have his toes checked out and his bandage changed.  He has about 2-3 more visits until his healing is complete and he will be bandage-free and ready for adoption.  His life will be like any other healthy kitty, except that he can no longer make it through an airport metal detector. Chester says life is good!

Thank you for giving to New Beginnings Cat Rescue. Your donations saved Chester from being euthanized. With your continued support, many other cats and kittens will be saved in this new year.    

This time of year the local city shelters are overflowing with momma cats and kittens.  Recently, the city shelter was out of room in both their adoption room and in their sick bay.  If any more cats came in at that time, it meant the city would have to begin euthanizing the cats that were currently there to make room for the new intakes.  

When the shelter put out a call for help, New Beginnings Cat Rescue quickly responded.  Jumping into action, a few volunteers went straight to the shelter with plans to rescue 4 or maybe 5, but when they saw the look on those furry little faces, it was all over...before we knew it 16 cats were rescued from being euthanized that week.  Three days later New Beginnings returned and pulled 5 more cats and kittens.  All are in the process of being vetted and will soon be available for adoption.  Your donation will help us continue saving more cats from being euthanized at city shelters for no reason other than lack of space.  That's a pitiful reason for not giving them a chance.  All they need is a little more time to find their forever home. 

 Because of your generous support, we can focus on rescuing. Thank you for helping these precious cats.
