VET DONATIONS: From 2014-2020, we averaged about $20,000 per year in private individual donations to cover vet costs. All donations went directly to cover the medical needs of the cats, including emergency care and spay/neuter costs, and vaccines. In 2013, we received more than $5000 of free vet service directly from the vets, and donations from private individuals covered another $16,000 in vet care. From 2008-2012, we averaged about $9,000 per year in private individual donations towards vet care. Our organization is growing as are the vet bills which come from caring for more and more local cats and kittens each year, and the occasional dog.

CAT FOOD DONATIONS: Yearly, we receive approximately 100 lbs of food donations per week. Every bit of this food is used to feed our starving rescued cats, kittens, nursing moms, and outdoor homeless kitty colonies. This year with our expanding services, we are going through about 500 lbs of cat food PER WEEK to support all of the kitties in our care. We accept food donations of wet and dry food, adult and kitten food, and powdered or canned kitten formula and goat milk.
