Every spring, we see litter upon litter of kittens brought into WCHS.
I want to walk you through a day in the life of a Feline Care Manager!
After checking messages, it’s time for my daily census:
Who got dropped off last night?
How old is each kitten?
What’s their health status?
And the foster kitties—who’s due for vaccines?
Next, I clean the cat rooms and list what supplies we need. Somedays, I hop on Facebook to request kitten supplies while feeding a “bottle baby.” These newborn kittens need help eating and pooping every few hours!
Around 7 p.m., I sit down for dinner when a text comes in with a close-up of kitten poop. The sender and I discuss the finer details of feline fecal consistency to see if his foster kitty is okay before I fall asleep dreaming about purring kittens.
“You and other donors are behind the bottles of formula-feeding orphaned kittens, the doses of medicine saving their lives, and the fact that my colleagues and I get to spend our days helping vulnerable beings we love.”
Will you give $250, $125, $75, or anything you can today to help our feline friends survive their first days and get the medical care they need?
