Too often kittens die due to illnesses, starvation, exposure, or from the incredible number of predators they have in Florida, which include Eagles, Hawks, Owls, Raccoons, Snakes, Foxes, Coyotes, and Dogs. Any of these things would be a horrible way to go. Most of these conditions are entirely preventable, but only if we can get them into the shelter. Rescuers at Second Chance Animal Rescue And Sanctuary Inc. are here to ensure that they save as many kittens as possible. However, we need your help! The cost of caring for all these babies is costly, and we are in desperate need of funds.
The average cost of caring for each baby's standard medical needs is below which only includes shots, spay & neuter, and wellness checks. This does not include any additional costs associated with man-hours, food, general illnesses like colds and diarrhea, or more serious issues that come up.
- Spay/Neuter with shots $100 each x 40 kittens = $4,000
- Shots Second Round $261 / 25 doses = $10 x 40 kittens = $400
- Total Standard Expenses for 40 Kittens = $4,400
With your support, we can save more kittens this year. Please help us bring so many wonderful kittens into the world RESPONSIBLY by helping to limit the spread of illness and unplanned pregnancies in the cat population.
We will provide updates on each kitten, including the photos we take with their forever families
Please donate to our kitten fund or purchase an item off their Wishlist to help us care for these sweet angels.

Kitten season is in full swing here at Second Chance Animal Rescue and Sanctuary and the number of these sweet defenseless babies that are coming our way is overwhelming. This season is the worst rescuers have ever seen and it is likely due to Covid.
During Covid, many of the largest and county-run animal rescues were closed. These facilities were closed due to the major portion of spay and neuters. That means there was a significant reduction in feral cats that were fixed. The result of that is the kittens from last year are now having kittens of their own. Rescuers at Second Chance Animal Rescue And Sanctuary Inc. were getting calls every day from people that had found these little kittens and wanted to find the babies a rescue that could care for them. Without the proper medical attention, care, and shelter, most of these precious babies don't make it.
