We URGENTLY need your help!!!!
As many of you know, we moved 2 years ago and with that move came a rent increase and renovations to the building ($35,000)to make it liveable for the cats in our care. It was being used as a storage building and needed a lot of work. May we add, our landlord is great and has really been patient, but Business is Business.
Over the past 2 years, we have taken in many cats and placed just as many into new homes.
Out vet costs over those years have exceeded $80k + ( this can be verified) and rent is $2000 monthly (lowest we could find in the rent market) . We have all supplies and food, that we cover as our long time donor passed away over a year ago. All of our funds come from a small grant at the beginning of the year and donations from all of you, along with fundraising.
We are in desperate need to get ahead with a few months of rent to be sure we do not lose the building that our current cats call "HOME". Our GoFundMe is helping but not fast enough as it only puts funds in our account monthly.
We are currently neededing monetary donations to get caught up, ideas of great fundraisers for Small groups like us and possible Corporate sponsorship that can help the cats.
The phone calls and emails are never ending for animals that are being displaced or are on the streets and need care.
We want to continue to help those pets by bringing them in, providing the needed vet care and then find their new homes, BUT right now our biggest goal is to keep the ones in our care (28 currently) in their HOME!!!
PLEASE HELP US MEET THIS GOAL!
Small donations help
For instance:
If each of our FOLLOWERS can make a $5 donation, that would be $2,405. That is one months rent plus utilities and food for the month.
That is a HUGE help for the animals.
I know you are all probably tired of us asking at this point, but times are really hard, the economy is making it even harder and the requests for our help to take pets is growing everyday.
