No matter how small, every life counts.
Kitten Season has begun and soon Anthem Pets will be contacted every day to save fragile kittens from terrible situations. Please show your love and give them the best chance to survive by fostering, and by donating supplies and funds to cover their veterinary care.
Please Foster
Anthem Pets does not have a shelter so we rely on animal lovers to provide temporary homes for pets in need. During kitten season we will need fosters for litters of kittens, moms with kittens, pregnant moms, and neonatal babies. Neonatal kittens are newborn to 4 weeks of age, and caring for them can be rewarding, but also a 24-hour job. There is a reason that they are known as “Bottle Babies”, since they must be fed every 2 – 6 hours depending on their age. They must also be kept warm and dry, and this level of care takes enormous dedication.
Fosters receive instruction, continuing support and are provided with all supplies. You may be asked to take them to the vet, but their veterinary care is paid by our generous donors. Click to read more about fostering.
Donate Supplies
Your donation of supplies is a tremendous help during Kitten Season when the need is great. Supplies can be purchased online from our Amazon Wish List, where you’ll have the option to ship directly to Anthem Pets at checkout. Supplies can also be purchased locally and dropped off at the locations below. The Amazon Wishlist is a good reference to see our most needed items.
In Anthem you can drop off supplies at Puff & Fluff Grooming at 39512 N. Daisy Mountain Dr., Suite #174 and Daisy Mountain Vet Hospital, 39512 N. Daisy Mountain Dr., Suite #178. If you are not able to make a drop off and would like us to pick up your donation, please email us at Rescue@AnthemPets.org.
Financial Support
All kittens receive standard vet care, and some need extra help. At about 4 months old they’re ready for adoption and will have been spayed or neutered, received vaccinations, and a microchip. Below are just a few vet expenses for 1 kitten.
$95 will spay 1 female kitten, $75 will neuter 1 male kitten, $60 for a stool sample, $25 will provide first shots and $20 will provide a FIV/FeLV test. When multiplied by 3-5 kittens per litter, you can see how urgently we need your help.
Donations can be made online and checks can be mailed to Anthem Pets at 39506 N. Daisy Mountain Dr, STE 122-125, Anthem, AZ, 85086.
