Kitten shower set for April 30

Fur Angels Rescue Shelter is hosting a kitten shower and adoption event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday April 30, at Pet Supplies Plus, 6929 Central Avenue, Sylvania.

Every spring, animal shelters and rescue groups are flooded with kittens from pet owners who have unexpected litters and from community cats.

The gifts and supplies collected at the event will save the organization valuable dollars that can be redirected toward spay/neuter and medical care and will allow the group to take in as many kittens as possible.

It also serves as an opportunity for furry felines currently in the adoption program to find their forever homes and frees up space at the shelter.

Adult cats and kittens will be available for adoption.

In addition to adoptions, organizers are seeking donations of items such as KMR kitten milk, Miracle nipples and bottles, heated cat beds, pop-up playpens, kitten food, soft blankets, litter and toys.

Those who cannot attend the kitten shower can send items to the organization directly from their Amazon or Chewy wish list available at furangelsrs.com.

Fur Angels Rescue Shelter, a no-kill group–unless an animal is dangerous or euthanasia is medically necessary–that provides temporary and long-term shelter, warmth and safety, food, medical treatment and love in a network of foster homes until each animal finds its forever home.

The non-profit organization’s long-term goal is to have a brick-and-mortar shelter.

It does not receive any state or federal funding and relies on support from individuals and businesses to help homeless animals.
