Mama Cat and Babies Vet Funds

Hello! My name is Olivia Ciotoli. I own the Black Cat Market Cat Cafe in Pittsburgh, PA where we help adopt out cats from Frankie's Friends Cat Rescue.

Oftentimes, folks reach out to us for help with stray or abandoned cats they find. Early August 2023, a woman contacted us about 4 brand new kittens that had been born on her porch. Unfortunately our partner rescue was totally swamped with an animal hoarding situation and were unable to take on more cats, so I decided to take the kittens on myself. Mama was able to be trapped as well.

Mama Duke Nukem and babies (Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and Power Wash Simulator) are all doing quite well with a foster! The kittens are about 8 weeks old now.

However, it's time to start getting all their vet work done. I am able to get the work done at Frankie's Friends, which is quite low-cost, but still adds up when there are 5 kitties!

I am expecting to spend at least another $600 on their vet fees. This will include spays and neuters, rabies vaccinations, distemper vaccinations, FeLV vaccination, microchips, and FeLV/FIV combo tests. This equals out to about $135 per kitten based on Frankie's Friends listed prices.

As of today, September 25, Mama Duke Nukem has gotten spayed, rabies vaccination, distemper vaccination, and FeLV vaccination. She's basically all set besides a few booster shots! The kittens got their first round of distemper vaccinations and flea treatment. The total for all of those was $207.

I am mostly asking for help with vet fees, but 5 kitties also eat a lot of food and use a lot of litter! Any funds raised beyond the vet fees will go towards that.

I will be providing receipts of all vet visits as they happen to ensure that the funds are going towards these little babies.

Thank you all so much for your continued support of my wacky cat rescues!
