Donations and Supplies Needed
We ask for your donations to assist us in our continuing efforts to rescue these sweet creatures in need. The need for rescue of this special breed, and all of the other breeds we assist, has risen, and the cost of running a sanctuary, even with an all-volunteer staff and a group of foster homes, is very high. The adoption fees we receive go directly to the veterinarians who help us in our mission. Many times, these fees do not cover all of the veterinary costs. The rest of the operational needs: food, litter, cleaning supplies, utility bills (i.e. for heating and cooling), cages, crates and other costs - are funded by private donations. Without these private donations, we will be unable to continue our humane effort.
Once a cat comes to our rescue group, it has a place with us until a forever home is found. Only if a cat is too sick, or suffering, is it euthanized. A cats stay at our shelter, or in one of our foster homes, can range from a week to many months, and sometime even many years. As you can imagine, the cost to keep just one cat, feed and provide medical care, is rarely covered by the adoption fee.
Here are a few items that we need. Either the funds to purchase them or items that you purchase for us:
