Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Our mission is to provide care for orphaned neonatal kittens or "bottle babies" (typically under 6 weeks old). Motherless nursing kittens are typically euthanized by shelters and not accepted by other rescues because they require constant around-the-clock care, just like a human infant. Through our "Shelter Kitten" program LOKR supports and encourages Louisville area shelters in their efforts to go "no kill" by caring for the babies they receive on condition that the shelter accept the return of them when weaned and agree to adopt and not euthanize them.
Target demographics: orphaned kittens or "bottle babies"
Geographic areas served: Louisville KY
Programs: veterinary care, fostering, and placement into qualified, loving homes.
