Cruzan Cats is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and humane treatment of cats on St. Since 2016, we have placed over 850 cats and kittens (and many dogs!) into loving homes and TNVR-ed (trap, neuter, vaccinate, return) more than 3,500 free-roaming cats. Only your support has made this possible, please help us take the next steps towards a more humane US Virgin Islands. RCC
has made huge strides. In 2021, we acquired a 5-acre property in Christiansted to build the first large-scale cat sanctuary in the USVI and also began supplying free cat food island-wide to members of the community who feed community cats but cannot afford to purchase supplies with our Food For Ferals program. In 2022, we started a spay/neuter clinic led by Dr. Michelle Mehalick to TNVR and provide low-cost spay and neuter, vaccines, and other needed veterinary services around island. In our first 22 clinic days, we have spayed/neutered over 600 cats and dogs, for free or at very low cost, to clients that include owned pets, community cats and animals in foster with other rescue organizations. NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS AND YOUR HELP IS CRITICAL! Our work - and your support - over the past 6 years is giving more than hope to cats like Hope and Homer - but it’s an uphill battle. We need a more systematic and sustainable approach, and - we’ve found one! That’s the task before us, and we really need your help! $25 will feed 100 cats for a day! $50 provides a combo test and vaccine for one cat or kitten we rescue into our organization. $100 provides complete initial vetting and spay for one rescue kitten! $500 will feed 50 community cats for a month! $1,000 will sponsor a feeding station within the new sanctuary, $1,500 will sponsor a low-cost clinic for a day, and $10,000 will fence one acre of sanctuary land. We need approximately $20,000 to build our Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic. Every single donation will be used to further our work to end cat overpopulation on island and give the animals who live on the island a healthier, safer, better life. Despite the challenges all of us are facing, we still deeply believe in our mission, and we hope you do too! We ask you to be a CAT-VOCATE and to consider making as generous a gift as you can to help us reach our goals. A heartfelt thank you from all of us at R.E.A.L.
