The Furry Friends food supply is being stretched to the limit
The kittens at Furry Friends are meowing for mercy. Furry Friends staff are going through food faster than ever. With around 150 kittens currently in their care, the Furry Friends food supply is being stretched to the limit.
There’s a kitten crisis in the area — every shelter is packed with mama cats and their babies. Furry Friends is doing everything it can, taking in as many kittens as possible. But feeding them all is a huge task, and the organization is entirely volunteer-run with only two staff members and about 53 foster homes.
Here’s what one foster parent shared while caring for 28 kittens:
- Breakfast: 17 cans (13 for babies, 4 for adult cats)
- Lunch: 6–9 cans
- Dinner: 6–9 cans That’s 30–35 cans a day, not including dry food!
Furry Friends doesn’t receive any city, county, or state funding — the organization relies on the compassion of donors. Want to help? Shop the Amazon wish list and make a cash donation.
Every can makes a difference to a tiny, hungry life.
