Kittens/Cats in need of Help in Bellefonte, PA

[Anikaca77]

I just thought I'd attach a few pictures of "JD" he looks so much better now than when I first got him.

Any ideas on how I can start raising money to be able to take these cats to the vets and get them fixed and just re-release them till a better solution comes along?

I've thought about going to a neighborhood but would people want to give me money if I'm not with an organization? I've contacted the organization I've been working with to ask there permission to use their name when I'm going around to different neighborhoods so we'll see.

Melissa - Did you try Alley Cats Allies as Queen S. suggested? Their page does have information on getting funds for your organization, but you are an organization of one at present. Perhaps you can email them for advice? You won't get much in the way of donations, especially from businesses until you become non-proft - and that means a lot of paperwork. Isn't anyone at work, neighborhood, friends, college, vet offices, etc. willing to join you?

I don't have many friends and the ones I have are tied up financially as well as me. Maybe I'll try vet offices and I did go onto the Alley Cat Allies and I've gotten plenty of info there it's just seeming so hopeless right now.

Try the congressman's office, please! Plead for help! If you did that already, and it's a no-go, ask them what they would advise!

They'll have connections and information that would boggle most minds!

I'm going to have to do that...

I just don't have the money and it's getting harder and harder to keep feeding these strays plus the cats in my house and the cats outside my place.

I'm just not sure how to start talking or anything...I'm going to have to start writing things down...and etc.

Thanks again...

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you Candance for helping me out. She faxed a letter for me to the Congressman.

I really appreciate it.
