Spotlight On: MAHINA!
This big girl is big on love! When you sit down, Mahina jumps right up next to you to be brushed or petted. She loves the attention, and her sweet face is sure to make you smile!
Mahina came into the program with kittens. After they were weaned, she put on a little post-pregnancy weight, but she’s hitting the treadmill to get back in shape.
Mahina has been with ARFP since July 2022. As much as we love her, we know it’s time for her to find her forever home. Could that be you? Or someone you know?
You can meet Mahina at the Next Step Adoption Center on Saturdays from 9 AM to noon. Or fill out a no-obligation application today!
Donate to ARFP while shopping at Chewy!
You know you need stuff for your pets — food, toys, beds, cat litter, collars…. The list goes on! And Chewy.com is a great place to get those things.
But did you know that if you shop at Chewy through iGive, you can earn money for ARFP? iGive.com is a shopping portal that makes donations to the charity of your choice every time you visit select online retailers through the iGive portal.
One of those online retailers is Chewy. You can buy all your pet needs (or buy pet supplies for ARFP!) and iGive will donate 2.4% of your order total (not including tax or shipping charges) to ARFP at no cost to you.
As an added bonus, through April 15, 2021, iGive is doubling their normal donation amount to 4.8%. That’s a lot of money to help homeless pets!
Just follow this link to take part: Pet Food, Products, Supplies at Low Prices – Free Shipping | Chewy.com. You will need an iGive account and a Chewy.com account to participate.
Videos of Kittens? Who Could Ask for Anything More?
Two groups of foster kittens have started Youtube channels!
Annabel Lee, born around January 2018, is looking for a forever home. She came to ARFP in October 2020 after having a littler of four kittens and being abandoned in a shopping center in Greensboro, NC.
All four kittens have been adopted! Now Annabel Lee is searching for her new home.
She’s sweet, loves to be petted, and gets along with other cats. Oh, and a fondness for naming her videos after feline versions of Bond films.
Not to be left out, a new group of kittens decided they want a channel, too!
This litter was found in the woods. Despite a lengthy search for the mother, she never returned. The kittens were then scooped up and placed in a foster home where they can get all the attention, love, and food they need.
Not to be outdone, they decided to do a daily chronicle of their life, including some exclusive behind the scenes footage.
Without further ado, The Chronicles of Kitteh!
Daphne’s Babies are One Month Old!
It’s hard to believe that sometime late on March 6, 2020 or early on March 7, 2020, Daphne had four little kittens.
They’re growing up fast. They’re playing, using the litter box, and getting plenty of socialization from their foster parents.
They did take some time out of their busy schedule to pose for a family portrait.
And, just like many modern-day children, they have their own blog at: https://andinewton.com/journal/?cat=358
They also have their own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AndiN3D
Interested in Fostering?
If you’re interested in fostering puppies or kittens, please fill out a VOLUNTEER application — not an application for the species you’re interested in fostering.
Once you’ve submitted the form, a volunteer will be in contact as soon as possible.
Please bear in mind that young puppies and kittens are fostered in pairs or triplets to allow for proper socialization.
The volunteer interest form is available here: https://www.arfpnc.com/?page_id=462
Come visit Muffin and Friends!
The Next Step Adoption center is open today from 1PM-4PM! Stop by to play with our puppies and kittens, and to adopt one today!
