About this campaign

A heartbreaking call recently came in about four newborn kittens whose mother had been found deceased beneath a tree. The elderly woman who discovered them didn't know what to do, but after a friend contacted Rescue Kitties of Hawaii, they immediately agreed to take all four babies.

By the time they reached the rescue, the kittens had been without their mother and without milk for nearly 48 hours. Their tiny bodies were shutting down from starvation and dehydration. Tragically, one of the babies—a little white kitten—passed away before they could save him.

The three remaining kittens are in critical condition. They are just a little more than skin and bones, weighing only about 110 grams each. Their eyes are just beginning to open, meaning they are only about a week old and should still be safely nursing with their mother.

Right now, they are receiving around-the-clock care: warmed fluids, sugar support, and bottle feedings every hour in a desperate effort to slowly rehydrate and nourish them. They are still too weak to latch, but they are swallowing, and they're caretakers are holding onto every small victory.

The kitten's condition remains extremely guarded, but they are fighting with everything they have to save them. On Molokai, there are very few resources available, and for these babies, these caretakers are their only chance.

They're asking for your help to cover the cost of emergency care, formula, medical supplies, and the constant support these fragile kittens need to survive. Every donation, every share, and every prayer means the world.

Please help Rescue Kitties of Hawaii give these precious babies the chance to grow up and experience the life their mother can no longer provide.
