Meriden Humane Society Rescues Another 65+ Cats

May 27, 2008 : 5:21 PM
Please help them help these animals!

By Kelli Banet, Best Friends Network Volunteer

The Meriden Humane Society has once again stepped in to save the lives of dozens of cats and kittens. More than sixty five felines were taken from a private Meriden home. Many of the animals are ill. Some are dehydrated and emaciated. The original news story can be read here.

A month ago, the Meriden Humane Society rescued 56 cats and 2 dogs from a private home in New Britain. A 5 year old child was also removed from that residence. As stated in the previous story, people can have the best of intentions, but there is a line between helping and hoarding animals. It needs to be distinguished and respected.

Your help is urgently needed! How you can help:

Donate dry and canned kitten and cat food (no fish), kitty litter (including Yesterday's News), towels, blankets, and sheets.

Make a financial contribution to the Meriden Humane Society to help defray the costs of veterinary care.

Volunteer! Help is needed to care for and socialize the many animals at the shelter. Volunteers are especially needed during morning hours. Contact the Meriden Humane Society at (203) 238-3650.

Adopt or foster a cat or kitten. They provide food and vet care. You provide love!

I came here to post a plea for help for MHS and saw this -- thank you!!!

I'm hoping to go up early next week and volunteer. I hope everyone can try to drop off some food or send in a donation to help cover vet costs for these poor cats!!
