Urgent: Kitten season is here

 

When Amewlia Earhart was rescued from Tennessee, she was only a year old – still a kitten herself – but had endured so much pain surviving on her own. And she was pregnant. This mom-to-be desperately needed a safe place to give birth to her litter and receive the medical care she deserved to live a pain-free life. As you read this, more and more pregnant cats are arriving, and we want them all to have the same happy outcome as Amewlia. Right now, your support for our no-kill mission makes all the difference for a homeless animal's safety. Will you help by sponsoring our nursery this kitten season? A monthly gift of your choice will ensure all our new families are cared for. And if you start today, you'll be a hero for a new mother cat like Amewlia just in time for Mother's Day. We helped Amewlia deliver her litter of five kittens safely and comfortably. While her new babies grew stronger, we turned our attention to Amewlia. Give more new moms and their babies the best chance at survival. SPONSOR OUR NURSERY

Upon her arrival, we observed Amewlia had a “missing eye” in her right socket, and later diagnosed her with microphthalmia, meaning she had a very small eye in the socket that was somewhat closed over. Over time, she started tearing from the socket and the lower lid rolled in, causing irritation. After her kittens were born, we gave much-needed comfort to Amewlia by removing her eye. Thanks to your compassion, this cat and her kittens are happy and healthy today! And Momma Amewlia has a big heart when it comes to caring humans. This kitten season is a big one – will you rush your support for more cat families and give them what they need to survive? Please sponsor our nursery today. Mother's Day is a time to honor a special mother in your life, and as an animal lover, I can't think of a better way than to share some love with a mom cat and her kittens. Thank you, J. John Stevenson President & CEO North Shore Animal League America P.S. Mother's Day is just a few days away, and I can't think of a better gift for animal-loving moms than the gift of sponsorship. Even better, when you start a monthly gift, you can send a special mom in your life an eCard – and schedule it to send on Mother's Day! Thank you for caring today and all year long.

MAKE SURE NEW FAMILIES DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND In honor of Mother's Day, give cat moms and kittens the care they need.

Trump Lawyer Warned He Could Lose His License For Following Trump's Orders

Donald Trump is angry that his lead defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, is not following his orders and being "aggressive" enough in the courtroom. But in a new column for The Daily Beast, lawyer and legal expert Mark Herrman warns Blanche that following Trump's advice could land him in serious trouble, including possible disbarment. Herrman points out that most of Trump's other lawyers have faced serious consequences and even criminal charges for obeying his every word, and Blanche would be best served following his gut in order to stay out of trouble.
