We are out of puppy and kitten food! During puppy and kitten season, we always go through a lot, but we have saved SO many animals just this past month.
Here are just a few facts:
We currently have 614 animals IN RESCUE!
227 of those are kittens, and 122 are puppies!
In June alone, we saved 380 animals! This is a record-breaking month in all of the past 13 years since inception!
Each kitten gets around 2 small size cans of kitten food PER DAY.
Add that up once… 227×2 = 454 cans PER DAY! Or around 23 cases! We also need dry kitten food.
The puppy servings vary, but on average, 3-4 cups PER DAY. With a 14lb bag of food, that is 9 bags of food PER DAY! We use primarily dry food, but also some canned.
The reality is that we just can’t keep up, and our shelves are almost bare. We provide our fosters with all supplies necessary while they care for the dogs, cats, and critters under the rescue’s care, but we need your help to keep up with feeding everyone. We never want the cost of food to be a deterrent to life-saving and refuse to let it be. We know there are animal lovers out there, just like us, who will help.
If you’re in a place to donate, it would immediately impact the puppies and kittens in our care and be so appreciated. (We luckily have a good supply of adult food).
Ruff Start’s Amazon and Chewy wishlists have been updated, and anything purchased from this list will be shipped directly to our rescue office.
You can also donate cash to this fundraiser, send a check directly to our PO Box 129, Princeton, MN 55371 or donate on our website or even drop off supplies or a monetary donation right at our office in Princeton – 12526 319th Ave, Princeton, MN 55371.
