Kitten Season Is Here! Funds Are Sorely Needed!

IAR has recently been receiving hundreds of calls each week about kittens and puppies in need across the triangle area. Thankfully, due to incredible dedication of our volunteers who live by the credo, ‘there’s always room for one more’, we’ve been able to save so many little lives. However, it is estimated that each kitten or puppy rescued will require approximately $150-$200 in veterinary and other necessary expenses, prior to adoption. Given the large number of kittens and puppies recently saved, we need to raise additional funds to help with their care. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation so that we can continue rescuing the animals that so desperately need us. The animals thank you, and as always, every single donated dollar goes directly to helping them. These four little orange babies, recently rescued by IAR, are only three days old. Will you help with their expenses? Please click here to help.
Frenchy is like her sister Dash: warm, gentle, and an all-around joy! The two kitties get along beautifully, so if you're looking for a happy pair, you can't do better than these two! Frenchy is a doll!
Obsidian is a beautiful black kitty with a bit of white on his chest and tummy! This loverboy is a serious cuddler, especially in bed at night, and he's great with other cats too. Obsidian is a stunner!
Tuesday is a sweet little stripey kitten with a white bib and paws. She
loves to goof around with her brothers and sit on her foster mom's
shoulders, purring in her ear! Tuesday makes everyday wonderful!
Noisette is a gorgeous tortoiseshell kitty with soft swirls of red in
her dark fur. She has been a fantastic mama to her kittens and she is
now ready to be your special kitten! Noisette is such a special girl!
This is one of the all-time cutest pairs! Elliot is a tiny Chihuahua
and Josie is a mini dachshund, and the two of them are deeply bonded
and best friends. Very social Josie and shy Elliot would be a fantastic
pair for a quiet, calm home looking for a couple of sweethearts to love!
