“This grant allows us to protect the most vulnerable kittens that enter our shelters,” said Leigh Kirk, President and Co-Founder of ForEverMeow. “Our goal will be to rescue and adopt out 150 kittens to loving families. We appreciate the support of Best Friends Animal Society in making ForEverMeow Kitten Nursery possible and moving us towards a NoKill community in Coachella Valley.”

“We are extremely excited to partner with ForEverMeow and are thrilled at the ability to save more lives!” noted Frank Corvino, Deputy Director, RCDAS and Co-Chair of NoKillCV.
