We need to address a serious issue. Please understand we are a very small rescue. We recieve no funding from any other organization. Many of you think we are connect with Battle Mountain Humane Society. We are not. We are our own rescue and they are a Humane Society.
We are recieving a very high volume of emails, text messages and a large amount of calls to take in cats and kittens. At this time we just can not take in any cats or kittens in. We were able to do ok in May and pay our rent for June. We were able to do very well with our rottilling that I donated all back to the rescue. But we are $2,700 in the hole and going deeper. Each cat or kitten cost us $150 minimum. π° πΈ π² π° and cost us $500 a day for everything.
We have over a 100 cats and no room in our isolation building. Even fostering cost alot of money for food, vet bills liter and to be vaccinated and to be fixed. So please do not cus us out for not taking in cats or kittens. We do not get paid for what we all do for the rescue. Our boardmembers are stressed because they too have several of our cats and kittens and pay into the rescue to keep it going.
We have several Free will donation for our Barn Cats that are in need of homes In June we are going to do $50 for adult cats and $150 for Kittens. π June is going to be a huge focus on our cats, rabbits and dogs. We need to get our cat building finished so we can help more cats and kittens. We need homes for our dogs π so I can take down some pens to make them bigger and better. Our rabbits π need homes so our boadmember can get better with her health.
For example, the other day I turned away 14 cats and kittens, then the next day was 27 cats and kittens. We are mainly a emergency base rescue to help mostly the abused, injuried and neglected. We do help homeless animals if we have the room and funds. πΈ
We are a 501c3 Non Profit and run 100% on donations, monthly supportters, our adoptions fees, fundraising, microchipping and volunteers.
There is only a few of us that run the rescue and most of us have a full time job.
I am sorry if this sounds harsh but it upsets us when people call us and get mad at us because of cats are reproducing. When we try to avacate to fix your pets and encourage people to help fix a stray or more.
Our trap, to be fixed, and return program is not free anymore. We charge $50 per cat with a voucher that needs to be approved from West river in there name. We do not keep and rehome them at this time.
We can not take in any feral cats to rehome at this time. We are not set up for them if they get sick and need meds. If they dont eat to get the meds in them, it is so much harder to give it to them and we do not have individual cages for them.
Feral cats do not do good in shelters at all. They get stressed out and then get the herpes virus come out. Please help us control the over population of cats and kittens and trap one or more if you can and have them fixed.
Please call West River Coalition 605 939 0190

Please have compassion for us and what we try to do with what we have available to us. If you like to help us with our mission please feel free to donate. We have another new grant writer and we are excited already and hope to have some more grant funding coming in soon.
