I received this urgent email today

from a group list that I subscribe to. I thought I would pass it along in case anyone here can help or knows anyone that can help.

Subject : [Roving_Rover] URGENT - veritable flood of cats - purebreds and domestic kittens

| | | Inbox


There has been a veritable flood of purebreds needing rescue all over the
US in the last week. We are desperate for fosters or reliable, reputable
rescues with space for purebreds. Meanwhile, shelters are euthanizing large
numbers of domestic kittens and begging for us to take them (as we have
helped in the past), especially in the Midwest, and we're trying to help
with transport and spay/neuter as we can since we have NO space. If you can
help foster or know of a reputable rescue with space, please let me know!
Initial vetting (FIV/FELV, worming. vaccination, flea Rx) and s/n of
purebreds will be paid for at reasonable rescue rates, we help pay early
s/n of domestic kittens we transport as well - any additional necessary
vetting must be approved on a case by case basis, but we will do what we
can as long as finances allow it.
