Dr. Melissa Macias is a Milwaukee-based neurosurgeon who previously served with the Swedish American Medical Group in Rockford, Illinois. Outside of her daily work with patients Dr. Melissa Macias enjoys supporting a variety of charitable organizations in her community, including the Wisconsin Humane Society.
The Wisconsin Humane Society has been caring for Wisconsin's homeless companion animals for 137 years. The nonprofit shelter is currently seeking volunteers for its new in-home foster care program for kittens. This program serves very young kittens who have been orphaned or separated from their mother. These “bottle babies” would still be nursing if they were with their mother, which means they need to be bottle fed by humans in order to survive.
The Humane Society needs people who are able to care for these tiny kittens in their own home. They are needy and prone to infection at this age, making shelter care very difficult. Kittens may need feeding as often as every two or three hours as well as assistance around basic bodily functions. This opportunity may be best for people who are retired or have very flexible schedules.
