Wenatchee Valley Humane Society to host "Kittens on Tap" fundraiser to support newborn kitten initiative

CASHMERE — The Wenatchee Valley Humane Society will host a "Kittens on Tap" fundraiser on March 27 to support its Save a Tiny Life initiative, which provides care for orphaned, unweaned kittens in North Central Washington.

The event will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Yonder East, located at 111 Railroad Ave in Cashmere. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy cider while interacting with foster kittens and learning about kitten care.

"Every kitten deserves a chance at life," said BJ Andersen, Executive Director of the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. "Through Save a Tiny Life, we're providing critical medical support, nutrition, and loving care to fragile newborn kittens who might otherwise not survive."

The Save a Tiny Life campaign supports unweaned kittens, promotes cat welfare, and reduces mortality rates among vulnerable newborns. The initiative recruits foster families, raises funds for nursing kits, and increases awareness about community cats during kitten season.

According to the organization, they experience a substantial influx of orphaned, unweaned kittens annually and require dedicated foster care providers to help manage this seasonal increase.

Event activities will include opportunities to meet foster kittens, learn bottle-feeding techniques, and discover how to determine a kitten's age based on physical characteristics. Donations collected at the event will go toward providing food, medical care, and supplies for foster kittens.

Community members interested in supporting the initiative can visit the organization's website to view a kitten wishlist, make donations, or learn more about involvement opportunities.
