A Social Experiment

June 20, 2016 by CVRR

Remember our social experiment? "After business is done and the world has been conquered, a bit of silliness generally ensues after board meetings. In this case, we were picking on our dearly adored and youngest board member and her (throat clear) *creative naming.... Kids these days and their wild ideas. ?? We were discussing how, as silly as it sounds, by choosing a … [Read more...]

Give Me a Chance, I Think You Might Like Me!

March 28, 2016 by CVRR

I went to story time at the library today with my one year old son. While I thought maybe Charlie and I MIGHT make friends there today I'm afraid I was THAT mom. While trying to get my son and I ready I found out story time was starting earlier than I had thought. So I just threw on the clothes from the dryer that had not dried yet, really they were there first pants and shirt … [Read more...]

Stereotypes Hurt

February 4, 2016 by CVRR

Sometimes the retriever doesn't retrieve, the family lab bites the neighbors kid, and the collie doesn't care if Timmy fell in the well. I am here to talk about breed based stereotypes. As a vet tech I hear it all the time and it makes me cringe...a family had a golden and he was flawless...never chewed ....probably pooped out nutritious meals for the hungry and in need. … [Read more...]

Central Virginia Regional Rescue
Yesterday alone, CVRR welcomed 22 kittens into our care.We saw the plea for help from a local animal shelter in a neighboring county. Every single cat kennel in their facility was full. They had reached code red (maximum capacity), and with new cats and kittens continuing to arrive, impossible decisions were looming. We knew we had to do what we could.22 tiny lives were transferred into our care, 22 lives saved, 22 lives now have a chance because our community refuses to look away when animals need help.But rescue is truly a team effort, and taking in 22 kittens at once comes with an enormous need for supplies and resources. Our foster homes are filled with hungry little mouths, messy litter boxes, and kittens who will need medical care, vaccinations, and lots of love before they're ready for adoption.Right now, our most urgent needs are:🐾 Wet kitten food🐾 Dry kitten food🐾 Pee pads🐾 Kitten litter**🏠 more kitten foster homes 🏠**If you've been thinking about helping, now is the time. Donations from our kitten wishlist make an immediate impact, and monetary donations help us purchase supplies and cover veterinary care for these little ones. And more foster homes are our only option for being able to continue helping kittens.Kitten season is relentless, and shelters and rescues throughout our region are feeling the strain. Yesterday's transfers may have helped create space for more animals in need, but the crisis is far from over.Thank you for standing with us, supporting local rescue efforts, and helping us give these 22 kittens the future they deserve. Every bag of food, every box of litter, every dollar donated helps save lives.Together, we can make sure these kittens know safety, comfort, and love instead of uncertainty. ❤️🌟 WISHLISTS 🌟 🐈‍⬛ Chewy: bit.ly/cvrr-chewy 🐈‍⬛ Amazon: bit.ly/cvrr-kittens🌟 DONATE 🌟 🐈 Venmo.com/CVRRescue 🐈 PayPal.me/CVRRescue 🐈 cvrrescue.org/donate 🌟 SIGNUP TO FOSTER KITTENS 🌟 cvrrescue.org/foster-application ...
