Our organization is a Canadian official non-profit volunteer society. We are registered and can provide tax receipts for all donations. The orphans come primarily from homeless mother cats, some wild, some tame. The wild mothers are spayed and re-released to the area they were found, and the wild babies placed in foster homes for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation of wild cats can happen with patience and understanding. The younger the kitten, the easier and faster the rehabilitation will occur. For this reason we will take the wild kittens away from their mothers earlier than 8 weeks and bottle-feed them until they have the necessary teeth to eat. Other kittens come our way if their mothers are killed, missing or if they have a medical problem that requires attention. The medical attention we give is often labor intensive, which is why they would be euthanized at some government funded animal societies.
In short, we help cats and kittens which would be termed unadoptable by some agencies. We try to make them adoptable, then adopt them out to loving homes.
