Lil Fox needs your help!

Little Fox broke his leg and needed urgent surgery. $500 later and totally blew our ASCS budget, he got the surgery he needed, but now we are playing catch-up, getting together the funds. If you can help, we'd greatly appreciate it! =^..^=

Love and purrs and hugs,

~Lil Fox and his humans thank you!

ASCS Desperately Needs Foster Homes TODAY! =^..^=

Panda is an adult kitty. She is an affectionate, smart, cute, petite kitty, and she'd make an excellent companion. Because she is an adult kitty, it will take a little time to find her a permanent home, but if you think she might be a good fit, we are desperately looking for a foster home for her now.

Lovey is also an adult kitty. She is a people kitty, takes a while to warm up to other kitties, and only a short while to warm up to a kitty friendly doggie. Again, we are looking for a permanent home for Lovey, but in the mean time, we are desperately in need of a foster home for Lovey. She will roll around and give you her belly if you give her a try! =^..^=

Stevie is a love, love, lover and we are desperately looking for a foster home for this sweet fellow. He is shy around other kitties at first, but loves his humans and if you think he might be a good fit, feel free to foster him and give him a try.

Erin is a gorgeous little girl kitty. She loves her humans much more so than other kitties. She is a little shy at first and won't want to be picked up, but very soon, you will see, she will give you her belly for lots of belly rubs and purr time! She is another kitty for whom we are desperately looking for a foster home.

All ASCS kitties are tested for FIV/FeLV, spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before being fostered by you. Those who require it have had blood work done, their teeth cleaned or any other medical issue resolved.

ASCS is actively recruiting foster homes to help us to rescue and re-home more cats. Times are tough right now for everyone, but especially for the animals. They desperately need your help to get out of shelters or off of the streets and adopted into new, forever homes! AND, of course, donations... food, toys, and money for our endless vet bills -- all is appreciated! (Please see PayPal Donation button on our website for your convenience!)
