Smitten Kitten Rescue is a foster-based, nonprofit organization focused on saving orphaned, abandoned, sick, and at-risk kittens who require immediate and often intensive care. From fragile bottle babies to injured strays, we step in when they have nowhere else to turn — helping them heal, grow, and thrive. Our work embodies our guiding purpose: Rescue to Resilience.

While kittens are at the heart of our mission, when we have the space and resources available, we also take in small dogs on a case-by-case basis, extending lifesaving care to even more animals in need.

We are also expanding our impact within the community. With your support, we will soon begin offering Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance to help humanely reduce community cat overpopulation. We are also planning to establish our very own community cat feeding station, providing consistent food, monitoring, and support for local outdoor cats while improving their health and stability.

Looking ahead, one of our biggest goals is to open a dedicated rescue facility with our own building. Currently, we operate entirely through fosters, which limits how many animals we can help at one time. A physical rescue space would allow us to:

• Take in more kittens and small dogs in need

• Provide quarantine and medical observation areas

• Offer a safe place for neonatal and critical care cases

• Host meet-and-greets and adoption events

• Increase public visibility for adoptable animals

• Help animals be seen sooner and adopted faster

• Provide community education and support services

• Expand TNR and community cat initiatives

To make this vision a reality, we are working to build sustainable funding and will heavily rely on monthly donations. Recurring supporters provide the stability needed to secure a building, cover operational costs, and ensure we can continue saving lives long-term. Even small monthly gifts create a powerful impact and help move us closer to opening our rescue facility.

As a foster-based rescue, we currently provide critical services including:

• Emergency rescue and intake

• Bottle feeding and neonatal care

• Medical treatment and vaccinations

• Spay and neuter to prevent overpopulation

• Socialization and behavioral support

• Foster placement and supplies

• Adoption matchmaking to loving forever homes

• Community education and kitten-care support

• Case-by-case intake of small dogs when capacity allows

• Upcoming TNR assistance for community cats

• Planned community cat feeding station support

Every dollar raised during Smitten Kitten Palooza goes directly toward lifesaving care and future expansion. Donations help fund:

• Veterinary exams and emergency treatment

• Vaccines and preventative care

• Spay/neuter surgeries

• Formula, bottles, and feeding supplies

• Kitten food and litter

• Heating pads, incubators, and medical equipment

• Medications and recovery supplies

• Foster support materials

• Rescue and transport costs

• Care for small dogs accepted into the program

• TNR supplies and spay/neuter for community cats

• Food and maintenance for the community cat feeding station

• Future rescue facility and operational costs

We receive no government funding and solely depend on donations from compassionate supporters like you. Your generosity allows us to say “yes” to urgent rescue calls, expand lifesaving programs, and build a future where we can help even more animals.

Your support helps transform fragile beginnings into strong futures — turning Rescue to Resilience, one life at a time.
