We operate solely on donations. Id like to get ready for kitten season and be prepared to be able to start taking in mommas and kittens.  Does anyone have some documentation, supply lists etc and also what donor drives worked well for you to bring in money to prepare for kitten season.

Hi Jennifer,

Here are some ideas I do for setting up my rescue room for kitten season. I buy pine pellets from Home Depot for liter, it's less than $8 for a 40 lb bag. I let my rewards points build up on my credit cards and I cash the points in for gift cards to chewy, Petsmart, Petco to buy kitten food. I work with a vet to pay at cost for vaccines and meds. I also of course ask followers of our social media to donate as well. I started doing more fundraising. Super Bowl boxes do very well. You can also do a 50/50 raffle. Do raffles for Easter or Passover. Maybe for spring Gardening. Do an activity like dinner and a murder mystery or physic event. Or just get a very nice item or put together a bunch of smaller items and do a raffle. Offer alot of tickets for a $25 donation versus $10. People will give more if they have more chances to win. My list consists of litter, food, cardboard liners for the crate, card board boxes for the mama and kittens, food wet and dry, toys, towels, bedding, dewormers, flea meds, syringes, Dawn liquid soap, scale to weigh kittens, intake sheets to document kittens and care. Sheets to cover crates, food trays, dishes and bowls, garbage bags, churros, lil soups for the difficult medicine takers, Gerber baby food for kittens, and KMR.
