Our September-October fundraising partner is Southern Arizona Cat Rescue (SACR), a 501c3 non-profit cat rescue based in Tucson, AZ, helping at-risk cats and kittens in Southern Arizona. They are foster home based and completely volunteer run by a wide variety of cat lovers and advocates! Here is their story about mama kitty “Bumblebee” and her babies:
Mama Bumblebee and her babies came to us after it was discovered she was using a flower pot as her safe space for her babies. We learned Bumblebee had been around for a few years after being abandoned at a home that became an Airbnb. A kind Samaritan knew this little family needed help and connected with us. We had a foster available and mama and 4 babies got to safety. Later that night another kitten was found in the planter, so action was taken quickly and the baby was reunited with mom. Happy little family!
But wait! The next afternoon another kitten was found! We were concerned since she had been separated so long, but she got warm and joined mama and siblings as if nothing happened. We are happy to share all are doing well. Bumblebee is raising her last litter in a safe, cozy place where food is plentiful, all are blossoming, and she can worry less.
You can help Southern Arizona Cat Rescue further their efforts by purchasing one of a kind Beading Divas bracelets. Cost per bracelet is $20. Bracelets make great gifts any time of year!
