As many of you know I volunteer at ARNO (animal rescue new orleans) and WE REEALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY NNNEEEEEEEDDDD YOUR HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and if you have a pet of your own I don’t see how you could ignore this bullitin….you don’t even have to donate of volunteer at the shelter…you could just repost it and try to get the word to the people who do want to help…

here’s the deal:

Kitten season is upon us and in full swing.

We need KMR (Kitten Formula) desperately! I opened a new container of KMR (12oz size) yesterday evening…and it’s gone already! And that’s just the babies that I’m feeding! We’ve got more babies at Laura’s, Dawn’s and Tom’s and Vivian’s, and more tinies coming in!
We have several nursing moms at the shelter, and we plug new babies on the mommas whenever possible. But some babies are too sick, too unhealthy to be able to be plugged on…
The numbers are astonishing. ..Mrs.Laura brought 25 home with her last night, Tom has at least 5 (sick and ringwormy babies), Dawn has 8, Vivian has 4…and that doesn’t count what might come in today, nor does it count the babies that are on mommas that we still go through and supplement to make sure they are getting enough.

So, thinking outside the box (which probably isn’t outside the box at all), ARNO needs your support to make things happen, and continue to improve things for our animals and our volunteers. Think public support. Tell everyone you know about ARNO. Tell them that we need their help. Make a bulletin or blog on your MySpace or Facebook or where ever you socialize online. Tell people you meet about ARNO, get them interested (message me if you are gonna help and need/want some info ) .. .make them want to help the animals in any way they can.

ARNO needs funds to help us continue with our TNR (trap-neuter-realse) program. We will never be able to get a grip on all these babies if we can’t or don’t TNR.

We also need donations of KMR (kitten formula) , baby bottles (kitten), extra nipples for the bottles, cotton balls and sterile gauze pads, thermometer tip covers, lubricant, eye wash, heating pads (not auto shut-off),and/or baby blankies…

we need medicines and pharmaceuticals that we go through like water. Heartgard, Advantage, Revolution, K9Advantix, Capstar, large bottles of Pen-G, Albon, Strongid, DroncitPlus, Rimadyl, Prednisone, MarquisPaste, slides and cover slips, etc. Ask your vet if he has medicines that people have turned in when their pet passes, or meds that are near expiration that he does not want to keep or he cannot get credit for (most pharmaceuticals if kept correctly last one year past their expiration date), we always use bags of fluids: LRS (lactated ringers), etc. All these things will help us save money. We go through thousands of latex gloves each month to protect volunteers and not spread contagions as you have to change between each cage. Trifectant powder by the 10 lb. tubs are used monthly. We can also use kennels… when we fly out animals we need kennels for one way trips, as they don’t come back to us.

Also we need replacement trays for

if you have any of these items or if you could donate some money OR if you have things that you may think will help then don’t hesitate to bring it by…

thanks for reading and maybe helping….
p.s. I also would welcome any ‘out the box’ ideas from anyone… you never know where something could lead.

and if you wanna help here are some ideas that really won’t hurt you or your pocket at all
How about a garage sale that the proceeds benefit ARNO?
I cann even send you bookmarks to handout to identify the beneficiary which will send

Hmmm… Not a question, a good message though.
