Hosting service for streaming continuous, live video

I work for an animal shelter.  We have an Axis IP camera (model M1031-W) that will be mounted in one of our catteries.  We would like to stream live video to our website, so that people can view our adoptable cats in real-time.

We don't have the upstream bandwidth to allow website visitors to view the camera feed directly, so we need a video hosting service.  Does anyone have recommendations?  I've spent some time on Google, but I can't find anything promising.  The price would have to be affordable.

Thanks.

The price would have to be affordable.

What is affordable?  You already know that it involves a substantial amount of bandwidth, so it is not likely that you are going to be able to use "cheap" hosting.

You might be better to record videos and make them available on your site from youtube.

You can upload the videos and then put links on your site.

COBOLdinosaur -- some organizations offer non-profit pricing (some web hosting companies will even host non-profit websites for free).

We already post some videos on Youtube.  It's rather labor-intensive to do it that way.
