Help

I really do not like asking for help with funds, I feel as if we are begging. But I know that if we do not write or ask for help, people will not know the little ones are in need.
We have some spays and neuters coming up and, also , more than likely, another ferret adrenal surgery. On April 12th we have 3 rabbits getting spayed. We are getting Diva, Miss. Fancy Pants and Tippy the rabbits spayed. That will cost about $300. Also on April 12th, Arnold the rat is getting neutered. That will be close to another $80. Arnold came back after being adopted. He started showing severe signs of cage aggression. We are getting him neutered to help calm his cage aggression, then he will be moving to a foster home. Today we took in a male ferret, who is already diagnosed with adrenal disease. The best and most permanent course of treatment for adrenal disease is to have the adrenal tumor surgically removed. Shots and implants only take away the symptoms, while the tumor remains and grows. We always go for the best treatment for the ferret to help them have a long and happy life ahead. The adrenal surgery can cost anywhere from $200 to $300. I do hate throwing costs out there and "begging" for hep with money. I just want to show everyone what we are up against in the month of April. So far, vet costs are going to be high. That is what brings me to asking for help. We are not incorporated yet, any checks need to be filled out to Ray and/or Rachel Murphy. We do not have a bank account for the rescue yet. Therefore we cannot cash any checks made out to Life Long Tails. Donations can be sent to - 4 Wellworth place , Cheektowaga , NY 14225.

Last month we took in the 21 rats. 2 males have been adopted and 4 males are now in foster care. Over the weekend, one of the females had 14 babies! She didn't even show signs of being pregnant , she was as slim as can be. She must have been with a male right before she was transported to us. This bring up our numbers , A lot! We would appreciate any help as far as bedding (carefresh or aspen), food, toys . The rats also love cereal and tofu. We would also love any treats for the rescues in the form of fresh vegetables and fruits (just no iceberg lettuce or celery please) .
Thank you for chipping in with funds or donating supplies and/or food. It means a lot to us and the little ones.
If I have not sent out a thank you to someone who has donated or gotten back to anyone who has called or e-mailed, please sit tight. It has been extremely busy this month ( March) . We will get to everyone. Thank you for being patient.
