TLC Kitten Rescue has been working to save orphaned and injured kitties around Ellis County since 2013, providing vet care and getting them adopted to their purrfect forever homes. EIN 86-1731390

We're a volunteer-run rescue organization with our own kitten room, which means that we are not foster based. We are an in-house rescue dedicated to saving orphaned and injured kitties from the community and from shelters that would euthanize them due to lack of manpower, space and funding.  Many of the kitties that come to our rescue are here for long term care while they recover from critical injuries or illness and most grow up to be healthy and find their purr-fect forever homes. We rely on the many kitten guardian angels in our community to help us save as many of these precious lives as possible. Thank you for your support... we can't do what we do without you !

Giving Activity

Mission

We work together with our community to save as many orphaned kittens as possible. We trap, fix & release (TNR) every chance we get to help reduce the number of kittens born into feral conditions. Our goal is to place as many happy healthy & fully vetted kittens into their purrfect forever homes as possible, to not only reduce the loss of lives, but to increase the love in homes throughout our community through the healing power of purrs. : )

Needs

We always need kitten food, KMR and pet supplies. Monitary donations are especially needed for our all the medical kitties that come to us. And every kitten gets fully vetted (spayed/neutered + all dewormers, vax & microchip) before they leave our care. Each year we rescue around 250 to 275 kitties that would suffer and/or die without immediate rescue and care.

Equity Statement

We require an average of $3,800 a month to meet all expenses for food, supplies & vet care. We are volunteers so no one is compensated for their time, only for the gas they use getting kitties to and from vet appts. Our funds come from adoption fees (whenever we get those), unexpected small donations and 2 annual garage sales that we have to make sure ends meet. We average about $1,000 each sale and it's hard work, but we love connecting with the community. The economy greatly effects donations in our area which effects the number of kittens we can rescue and how much we are able to contribute to each of our community outreach programs. We strive for at least 250 rescues annually and we almost always exceed our goal, but only because of donations. Thank you ! We're not sure what an equity statement should look like, we did our best to explain. :)
