The shelter posted some of their kitties! Some are the same ones we saw when we were there. :sigh:

If anyone wants to send the shelter anything for their kitties, everything is on the Amazon wishlist here: Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County Humane Society - Cat Wishlist. Any items purchased from this list ship straight to the shelter! :redheartpump::happycat::redheartpump:

It's kitten season so I'm sure they would appreciate kitten milk, bottles, blankets, toys, etc. All are on the list. :lovecat:

The shelter posted a bunch of adoptable kittens/cats!! :hearthrob::redheartpump: :purr:
If you look at the previous pictures from when I was there over a month ago, some of the same cats are still there. :sniffle:

Here are the posts, enjoy the cuteness!

So many adorable faces....Tift County has numerous mother/kitten combos. I pray that somehow more spay & neuter programs take effect down there.....hard to stop a fliod without turning off the faucet, so to speak.
I hope that people know that there are "Cat Railroads" consisting of volunteer drivers to aid in multistate transfers. Even if a person cannot adopt or foster, becoming a transporter could be a great way to help. Also donating supplies is a huge help as well.

I checked out the list - very sensible items! I probably can't help at the moment (my daughter has upcoming dental bills this month) plus I came across a crisis situation where a couple is overwhelmed with ferals and desperate to get any kind of help; they feed the cheapest cat food with the cheapest dog food, blended. Animal Control told them to stop feeding and the cats will go away but that didn't work & cats perished in the hard winter months so (thankfully) they abandoned that plan.

There are just so many situations that need help. :sigh: This is animal control, so if they need to I think one of the employees/volunteers may buy some litter themselves if it is a desperate situation, but they always prefer donations.

Awwwww...she reminds me of Little Bit, "my" feral. Someday, God willing, this horrible town will allow TNR, rather than "vermin eradication."

This may be a short month for me, but I'll know towards the 20th if I have anything extra in the budget. I'll holler at you then if I do!

Hi everyone! :) I know it's been a while. While I haven't been able to go to my local animal shelters (there are 2 in my area), I recently noticed (from their posts on social media) that kitten season is hitting them very hard.

The first one is the Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County Humane Society, which is the one that I originally started this thread for. They have been able to get some of their cats/kittens to rescue recently, but they are still in need of supplies. They are a rural shelter in south GA.

Here is their post from Facebook:

Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County Humane Society - Cat Wishlist

Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County Humane Society
106 Lions Park Rd
Fitzgerald, GA 31750-8883
United States


They would greatly appreciate any donations, or even just sharing the Facebook post. :purr:

The other animal shelter near me is the Tift County Animal Shelter. They are overwhelmed with kittens and need help. Here is one of their Facebook posts. The link to their Amazon wishlist is in the post. (Click "See More")



Here's another one of their posts:


Just trying to get the word out. Both of these shelters would appreciate donations, shares, etc. :catrub:

This will have to wait until the 3rd of the month, but I will send them both a little something. They are on my "to do" list. Thank you for linking us directly to the shelters. It eases many people's minds.

Update! Here are some recent Facebook posts from one of my 2 local shelters, the Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County Humane Society (the one that I originally started this thread for).


And....they finally made their own Amazon wishlist! Items ordered from the one I made here: Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County Humane Society - Cat Wishlist and the one they made (linked in the post below) ship straight to the shelter. :lovecat:






The other shelter near me is the Tift County Animal Shelter. Here's the link to their Amazon wishlist: Tift County Animal Shelter Wishlist

Their address is: 278 GA Highway 125 S, Tifton, GA 31794 - if you would like to mail them anything that's not on the wishlist.

Here are some of their recent Facebook posts:
