The Truth About Cats in Metro-Atlanta

A homeless kitty searching for food by apartment dumpsters in Midtown.

Just visualize it – your last visit to your favorite restaurant, a dance club, a comedy show, your doctor's office, a friend's apartment complex, a grocery store, a department store, you name it. Wherever you have seen a dumpster, you have probably seen a kitty walking the parking lot, hiding behind a bush, or inside the dumpster. Well ask yourself: you saw the kitty, you love animals, but you were late for work, late for a date, did not have cash to buy them food, or maybe you just thought, "I am sure that someone is feeding them."

The truth is that for every one cat that you see, there are six to nine that you don't. These are abandoned, sick, helpless animals that some call feral, some call someone else's cat, and some (especially business owners) call them a nuisance. Cat rescuers like Krazy About Kats volunteers work tirelessly to trap, vaccinate, spay/neuter, and place these otherwise unseen animals in good homes. All of this volunteer work is completed with limited resources and overwhelming odds.

According to the latest available statistics:

In Metro-Atlanta, 397,000 individual cats and kittens were euthanized in one calendar year. Of the almost 400,000, 100,000 of those were mother cats with nursing infants.

About 8 out of every 10 cats that enter Metro-area shelters are euthanized.

In the city limits of Atlanta, 219 pets are euthanized every day. By comparison, only about 50 pets (including both cats and dogs) are killed daily in Chicago — a city with twice our population.

What You and Krazy About Kats Can Do to Help These Cats

Krazy About Kats Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit tax exempt public charity. (Learn more details about our foundation.) We were founded because Atlanta must begin a new way to trap, rescue, spay/neuter, and place these cats and kittens into adoptive homes. That is why Krazy About Kats needs your help to construct a new state of the art facility that has been designed to provide all of the services that these local kitties need while waiting to be placed in loving, permanent homes. The problem has grown so exponentially large, that it is no longer realistic for any rescue group to tackle solving the epidemic without operating out of an independent adoption facility with an onsite veterinary facility. 

Our foundation is committed to solving Atlanta's homeless cat epidemic. We need your help to build the facility that will change the way countless kitties now live on the streets and will also help to greatly reduce the overwhelming number that are euthanized across the Metro-area each year.

If you want to help stop this epidemic, please begin by reviewing the architectural renderings of the Krazy About Kats Foundation Center and make a contribution to make this facility a reality. Once constructed, the facility will make it possible for hundreds of thousands of cats and kittens to know what it is like to have safety, security, and most importantly, food and unconditional love.

Our facility will include a unique neonatal birthing center (NICU) that will not only care for newborn kittens but also provide an educational retreat for school children and other interested groups.

Naming opportunities for several areas of the facility are available to those interested in making a lasting memorial. Additionally, endowed educational programs are also available for naming. Our center will be state-of-the-art with a full staff of veterinarians and caretakers. The cats who live in all areas of the adoption center will have a unique cage-free, open-environment with
limited restrictions. Our fully-staffed veterinarian clinic will provide free spay/neuter and vaccinations to cats currently in the care of other licensed animal rescue groups in Georgia.

The facility will include the country's first feline Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for mothers and kittens of all ages. The NICU (photographic renderings shown on the left) is a necessary facility to protect the fragile lives of newborn kittens who lack the immunities to share the same air with adult cats. Newborn kittens are born with very little immunity to any diseases. It is only through nursing their mother in a protected environment that kittens can develop properly and be able to sustain life in other areas of the facility. These kittens will then be spayed/neutered to prevent additional unwanted litters.

The NICU will be a welcoming environment that includes bonding areas, specialized
veterinarian services, as well as educational video viewing areas for adoptive parents. The NICU will also offer educational tours for school children and others who desire an opportunity to learn more about the early developmental stages of the lives of kittens and will mirror the facilities that are already in place across the country for human babies.

We appreciate all donations. No gift is too small or too large. All proceeds are tax-deductible and will go toward the veterinary care and feeding of the cats that are currently in foster homes and the construction of our adoption facilty, which will be the future home of the kitties awaiting placement in permanent, loving homes.

	The NICU will also have specialized equipment to accommodate newborns with special needs.
