We desperately need foster homes for cats with babies.

It is that time of year when we will receive many, many moms with kittens, and we are in the unique position of having enough room to keep them. What we do not have is way to guarantee that a momma cat, already under a great deal of stress, will be able to stay healthy for the eight weeks it takes for her kittens to be of adoptable age.
This is a picture of an adorable little turkish angora mix kitten we received two and a half weeks ago with an equally adorable turkish angora mix mom. This is the only surviving kitten in the litter because we had no place to quarantine the mom cats during our kitty-cold outbreak. We lost a lot of kittens. Had these little ones been in a foster home, they would all be doing just fine.
As we strive to become a no-kill shelter, one of the things we have learned is that no-kill shelters are able to do what they do in large part because space is not an issue; they have huge foster networks. We have very few foster homes right now, and if we want these fuzzy little ones to survive to adoptable age, we need some now.
If you would like to foster a mom and her adorable fuzzy babies for any amount of time, please contact us at (325) 646-0617 or send us an e-mail: info@ctsanimalcenter.org. If you have a bathroom, you have enough space to be a foster parent for an animal in need! Fosters must be allowed to have pets on the premises, and if you are in the city limits of Brownwood, you can only have up to four animals over the age of 10 weeks on your property. For cats, we can provide food and a litter box if you don't have any.

Easy Monthly Donations:
You may have read the editorial recently about our need for more monthly commitments. We have since received several calls from people who want to do a monthly donation with a credit card but cannot get down to the shelter. If you are in this situation, you can call and ask for the administrative manager, Freda Day, who will take your credit card information for a monthly deduction, or you can click here to set up an automatic deduction from your card or bank account. Thank you to everyone who has made us the great shelter that we are today. Without your support, we would not be able to do the things we do.
A nice couple adopted a shy girl from us, and her dog sent us this holiday update:
Albert V. writes, "On August 25, 2011, I lost my best friend of 18.5 years by the name of Cassie. I had Cassie since she was four weeks old. I actually found her at a department store in the Dallas area. After her death I did not think that I could have another companion. 
Our animals live in a very high stress situation and need highly nutritious food. We ask that donations of food be of high quality. What is quality food? What brands to avoid?
