UPDATE: Thank you all for helping out. We've got the kittens to the vet and they are now in groups of 4 in two of our homes until they are settled enough to be rehomed (it's been a BIG change for them!). We'll update the page to let supporters know how they're doing :)

We are raising funds to pay for the vet bill of 2 mama street cats and their 8 kittens, who are living in our friend Adrian's garden. Unfortunately due to severe cat allergy he cannot bring them inside. We are struggling to find a charity, shelter, or foster home, to take them all for a few weeks until they are fully weaned and old enough for adoption. Unfortunately demand is very high and so far we've had no luck as they are all extremely packed.

In the meantime, our little team is trying to get them to a vet, to treat the conjunctivitis many of them have, and ensure they are healthy and defleaed so they can be rehomed. A local vet has estimated it would cost roughly £100 to examine and deflea each kitten, and £85 to neuter each mama cat. Many of the kittens have sticky eyes from conjunctivitis, and need to see the vet about it ASAP - especially little ginger boy Calisson, whose two eyes cannot fully open as they are so sticky. We think if the kittens need antibiotics and eye cream, we'll likely need at least another £100 per kitten. So we are hoping to fundraise at least £1000 quickly, to get them seen and defleaed, and our stretch goal is £2000 to get them the care they need.

Any money raised above the cost of vet bills for the little family will be donated to cat shelters or cat charities. If any organisation does miraculously end up sheltering or fostering them, we will donate the money to that organisation.

We are thankful for any help or any shelter who would be able to take the kittens and mamas for a few weeks until they can be adopted, so they can be safely inside, away from foxes and other cats, and their eyes can be treated.

The mamas are nicknamed Salem and Crème Brûlée - so the kittens are currently nicknamed after french desserts. Please help us bring to safety little Croissant, Beignet, Soufflé, Macaron, Mousse, Brioche, Eclair and Calisson. Thank you!
