9/18 - Feline Friday. Help us Say YES. Please take a minute to watch this video. This is just a glimpse of the tiny lives currently counting on us... They just keep coming. We’ve received a LARGE number of kittens over the past week — and just last night, another box arrived. There are so many more already in our care. Many of the kittens coming through our doors are sick, injured, underage, or simply in need of a safe place to land. We’re sharing a glimpse of these kittens because this is the reality of what is arriving at our shelter — and why they need our help. We’re struggling to keep up with the cost of caring for all of the animals who are counting on us. Medications, formula, food, individualized medical care and supplies add up quickly. This Feline Friday, we’re asking for your help. Please consider a $50 donation to help provide the care these kittens desperately need. Every gift makes a difference. ❤️ Donate: 🌐 CedarBendHumane.org/Donate 📱 Facebook Fundraiser: https://www.facebook.com/share/1EbghJ52rm/ Help us keep saying YES to these tiny lives. 🐾 We’ll be raising funds through Sunday night. #cedarbendhumanesociety #cbhs #kittens #medical #petfinder
