Subject: Urgent cat situation in your area
Dear United Animal Nations Supporter,
United Animal Nations (UAN) would like to let you know about an animal crisis in your area involving dozens of cats. UAN will be providing emergency funding to ease the financial burden of this crisis, and now we would like to inform our Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) volunteers and other UAN supporters who live in the greater Cincinnati area about the need for volunteer assistance.
Here's what we've been told about the situation:A man abandoned his home and left more than 50 cats unattended inside and outside the building. The cats are tame, but scared; most are in poor health and terribly neglected. Most of the cats have severe eye infections and upper respiratory infections. UAN will be issuing a LifeLine Crisis Relief grant to assist with the most urgent medical expenses.
The SPCA Cincinatti has asked local rescue organizations to step in so the cats can be rehabilitated and adopted out. Save Our Strays, The Pet Alliance and Silver Bells Animal Rescue have already rescued about half of the cats, and they plan to rescue the remaining cats over the next few days.
The rescuers welcome new volunteers to assist with this situation. Their volunteer needs include the following:
- Foster care for adult cats
- Foster care for infant kittens who require bottle-feeding
- Permanent adoption
- Experienced cat trappers
If you would like to assist, please contact Gail at Silver Bells Animal Rescue by e-mail at gms530@msn.com. Please indicate in your e-mail how you would like to help.
You can also help by spreading the word about this situation to your local friends and family.
Thank you for your dedication to the animals!
