Kitt Crusaders is no longer able to rescue. One of Devores biggest rescues pulling the most cats for years is now going under. Without help they will fail. Boarding is now needed for 11 kittens until new fosters can be found. A $9k vet bill outstanding and $165 a day boarding costs are breaking KC. PLEASE HELP! We need to support the cats even after they’re pulled from the shelter. Thank you everyone 🙏🏻 ❤️‍🩹

This is terrible news. Kitt Crusaders has been one of the stalwarts of getting cats out of Devore. Boosting for them… I hope everyone can step up for a few dollars to help them out. I don’t have much luck with the usual methods of payment, but I will be having another go. Can anyone local to them help out with a bit of short term fostering?

First off 100 points for *stalwarts have not heard that word in ages! Excellent! Second yes they have saved countless cats from Devore! This past year has been aggressive and adoptions are slower than ever now. They have been hard! ALL our rescues are now failing badly. We have nowhere to put cats. It’s so devastating. Only a few still pull and they are able to move a few cats here and there and have many fosters. Still expensive though. If they aren’t getting adopted they still need food and litter. We need to help each rescue as much as possible now to keep their door open. Thank you for your support!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🩷

Can the sub set up a contingency fund for things like this? I’m not a regular pledger due to payment issues, but I’d be happy to set up a regular payment for something like this.

I know that rescues and individual rescuers all overextend because it’s done from the heart, not a balance sheet. But it’s so easy to get caught out when things go wrong.

I’m actually working on a RC foundation idea. We can definitely do a contingency type plan with my idea. I need to get it figured out asap. The idea is similar to emergency pledge drives.

I tried the credit card text message, but that number doesn’t work from the uk. Can anyone advise on how to do this?

Do you have PayPal?

u/notmyprofile23 Nov 05 '24

No, I don’t have PayPal. I’ve had it in the past - and don’t want to go there again. In the uk, I can use PayPal as a guest if that option is available. But the guest option doesn’t work with US PayPal, because the input it requires in the Name field doesn’t match my card.

I really need a GoFundMe or similar. I have also (edit: at other times) been able to set up regular payments by other means - I tried subscribing for Kitt Crusaders, but that uses PayPal.

Also sounds like they need a decent amount of money NOW, rather than a few dollars a month.
