The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

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.
