💔NFSAW Temporarily Shutting Down 💔

We want our incredible community of animal lovers and supporters to know that the NFSAW will be temporarily shut down to take care of the critical pets in our care.

Six weeks ago - what began as a commitment to rescue a few sick kittens and cats, escalated into an urgent and unplanned intake of over 90 cats. Many of these cats were suffering from severe illnesses, and this has placed immense stress and financial strain on our dedicated staff and the shelter.

As you know, we are a small nonprofit rescue that was not equipped to take on a case of this scale. We did not receive any state or local funding to support this intake. We are funded through private donations only and this has crushed our finances. To date, we have already spent over $65,000 with more expenses coming in each and every day.

Please know, we are completely committed to helping these innocent cats get what they need to live happy and healthy lives, but we can no longer stay open and operate as normal.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our wonderful donors, fosters, and volunteers who have helped us during this extraordinary time. Also, a big thank you to our partner rescues, who have already or will be taking some of these cats into their care.

We need you, our animal-loving community, now more than ever.

Ways to support:

• First and most critical is funding. Please donate today so that these pets continue to get all the care they need, and we can help more pets that need us in the future. https://givebutter.com/Donate2025

• Consider adopting or fostering a pet in need - please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

• Share this message to raise awareness.

Together, with your help, we can take care of these incredible pets and the ones out there that still need us.

Pls - no negative comments…need your support.

🐾 A New Beginning: Help the Hoarding Cats Heal 🐾

We recently uncovered the full scope of a heartbreaking situation. What started as a call for help with a few cats has turned into a rescue mission for over 70 cats in desperate need.

These cats, originally strays taken in by a family who fell on hard times, have been living in a trailer with as much care as possible. Unfortunately, the sheer number of cats made it impossible to keep up with cleaning and medical needs. Many of these cats are suffering from upper respiratory infections, eye infections, FeLV, and FIV.

We’re working tirelessly with our partners at Wells Valley Cat Rescue, Inc and New Fairfield Animal Control to get these cats to safety. Our team has already placed a few cats into foster care, but we need your help to save the rest!

💚 Here’s how you can help:

Donate to help cover medical costs and supplies. Every dollar makes a difference!

Foster - We desperately need foster homes, especially with no other cats, or a way to keep the cats separate from other cats to safely house these felines.

Share this post to spread the word!

Together, we can give these cats a chance at a new beginning. Please consider donating here: https://givebutter.com/nfsawhoarding
