Help for Fat Kitty City

If you love animals - cats, especially - I have a mission for you.

An awesome place in El Dorado Hills is dedicated to saving cats and kittens found abandoned, sick and abused. They're nursed back to health, and adopted out to loving homes. I just happened to hear about it after coming across six 7-week old kittens who were sick and sneezing in a backyard - and Fat Kitty City took them in and within half an hour, had given them eye meds, antibiotics, IVs, a flea dip and a snack! By the time I left, they were bouncing around, some of them probably able to see through their little eyes for the first time with medicine long overdue.

Fat Kitty City spreads over 20 beautiful acres in El Dorado Hills - and the owners operate it with mostly their own money. But due to the economy, they're running thin. This is a fantastic operation that needs your support - with a check, or your time, or supplies. PLEASE visit their website, www.fatkittycity.org and help continue this wonderful resource. And if you're in the market for a cute kitten, I can recommend six adorable candidates - three black, two Siamese, and a fluffy gray poof who'll grab your heart. :)
