New Beginnings for Cats

Hi! Tomorrow, Dec. 2, is Giving Tuesday. This year we humbly ask you to consider a donation to our shelter.

On a daily basis we care for about 100 wonderful kitties! We have many amazing senior kitties who are living their golden years with us. We have several adorable kitties requiring lifetime medications and extra vet care. We also have our fantastic FIV+ kitties and our fabulous FeLv+ kitties (feline leukemia). 😻

While we strive to find each kitty their perfect forever home, we realize that some of them will always call this place home and we are honored to be able to care for them! We have made each cat a simple promise - that we will love them, care for them, and provide for them for their entire time spent with us. That is a promise that we take very seriously! Their happiness is what we work so tirelessly for! ❤️

But, we cannot completely do this on our own. There are many expenses each month to help these kitties live their best lives - wet and dry food, litter, electricity, heat, cleaning supplies, vet care and medications - to name a few. When you make a donation, each dollar goes towards providing these kitties with everything they need to be pampered and loved - something they all deserve! 🥰

We understand there are times when a donation is not possible, so sharing our post also helps! Thank you so much for helping us care for these kitties! We couldn't do this without the generosity of our animal loving community! 😊

(Pictured below are just a few of the awesome kitties that reside at New Beginnings).

Hi! Petco in Bradley has been our partner for years, allowing us to have our kitties in their adoption center. Because of this partnership, we have been able to adopt many cats to wonderful families! Currently, we have a pair of bonded brothers named Cheese Stick and Mozzarella waiting at Petco for their forever home . (Note: they must be adopted together 😻).

Petco is also hosting a donation drive in their store. Items may be purchased and donated to the bins, which will then be donated to local shelters. We are one of the shelters that will be the recipient of these donations. So, if you happen to be out shopping, stop by Petco and check it out and also meet Cheese Stick and Mozzarella. Thank you as always for your support!

P.S. We would like to thank Petco for all of their help and generosity over the years! 🙂
