Emergency Care: Life-Saving Formula Kits For Fur Babies Supply

Emergency Care: Life-Saving Formula Kits For Fur Babies

A kitten or puppy that arrives at a shelter without their mother faces a very low chance of survival. These orphaned animals rely on formula and the close care of shelter workers to make it through the first critical days. Sadly, many shelters are underfunded and unable to provide enough formula, bottles, and necessary supplies to go around.

For an at-risk dog or cat awaiting transport from an overcrowded shelter to a high-adoption-rate shelter via programs like Good Flights, this feeding kit can be the difference between a forever home and euthanasia.

For $15, you can provide formula needed to support an orphaned pet from birth to weaning.

For $29, you can give a full PetAg life-saving formula feeding & care kit, which includes other important components that shelters desperately need to save lives:

• PetAg KMR® or Goat’s Milk Esbilac® formula to support an orphaned pet from birth to weaning
• a PetAg Nurser Bottle specially sized for baby pets
• a PetAg’s Bene-Bac® Pet Gel to replace naturally occurring microorganisms and maintain a healthy bacterial balance in a formula-fed pet’s system

For $42 you can give a Newborn Essentials Kit which includes a heating rice bag and a multi feeder for fur babies in need. Newborns have trouble regulating their body heat and can get very sick if they don’t stay warm. The rice bag helps these fur babies stay cozy! A multi-feeder is a wonderful tool for shelters to have for kittens and puppies who are abandoned or had a mom that passed away. The multi feeder provides essential nutrients when filled with formula, creates a bonding experience with other litter members and offers the kitty or puppy a more realistic feeding experience. The feeder also ensures that multiple kittens or puppies can be fed at a time and don’t have to wait “in line” for a shelter volunteer to feed them.

Save a litter for just $116! Many orphaned infant fur babies arrive at a shelter with their siblings. Make a huge impact by supplying an emergency life-saving care kits for 4 kittens or puppies in need. Help them all survive! 💕

Impact:

• Meet Amanda. She had a rough start to life but is now a happy and healthy pup thanks to your support. Helping Paws Animal Rescue in Oklahoma was at the right place at the right time. A Yorkie was bred by a pit bull that lived in the same house. The little dog started to go into labor and was rushed to a clinic. Even though the puppy was full-term, the owners wanted her euthanized. Helping Paws Animal Recuse stepped in and saved her. She was taken in by a foster family that bottle fed her milk replacement. Baby Amanda is “living a happy well deserved life” said the rescue.

• Jefferson Protection & Animal Welfare Services were super thankful for the formula they received to help a kitten that would not have otherwise survived. In the first image we see a friend of the Parish who came in with a kitten and was in tears because she wasn’t sure how to help and couldn’t afford a lot. Staff was able to provide her with bottles and formula to properly feed the kitten as well teaching her how to care for the young kitten. 

• Vet Tech Victoria, at Jefferson Protection & Animal Welfare Services, typically cares for the “bottle babies” that come into there rescue. Bottles, blankets and formula are always needed and are put to use right away. Thanks to the goods sent they have been able to take on more kittens and puppies. Thanks to the supplies sent they can also teach others how to feed these babies in the proper way. 

• Carrie Wolfe from Cat Tales Inc was so excited to get supplies in the middle of kitten season. “The formula was much needed at the time.” The formula was put to use right away and the kittens were so grateful. 

• Meet Friday, a 6 day old tabby cat who was the lone survivor of a litter that had been sadly abandoned by their mom. This little guy has survived and thrived thanks to the supplies sent by this benefit buy and other benefit buys. McKamey Animal Center was able to provide Friday’s foster mom with formula, bottles, blankets, toys and treats for this little sweetheart. MAC thanks all of you for helping Friday and the other 200 kittens they have taken in past months!

• Say hello to Paul Revere, a resilient survivor! Paul and four fellow kittens were discovered abandoned in a shed, their mother nowhere to be found. Olivia, the compassionate cat manager at the Rhode Island SPCA, quickly took them under her wing and arranged foster homes for these precious felines. With the help of the nourishing formula generously provided, Paul is steadily gaining the weight he needs to thrive. The shelter expresses profound gratitude not only for saving these adorable kittens but also giving them the opportunity to allocate their financial resources toward other critical projects and veterinary care. Moreover, the donation ensures that foster families have the necessary resources to provide a nurturing environment for these young animals, offering them a comfortable, cozy, and secure place to call home as they continue to grow.
• Emmy Lou was brought into the Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter by animal control, severely underweight, along with her ten one-week old puppies. Due to her condition, they worried that she would not be able to produce enough milk to adequately feed her family. By providing her foster parents with formula and bottles, they were able to ensure the ongoing health of this sweet mom and her pups. Eventually, Emmy Lou and all ten of her puppies were adopted to loving families! Take a look at one of her adorable pups.
