HELP US GIVE OUR CATS A SAFER, HEALTHIER START!

We need your help to bring stainless steel cages to CATS Rescue! 

For seven years, we have made do with large dog crates in our arrivals intake and isolation rooms. They have served their purpose, but we know we can do better for the cats who come through our doors, many of whom arrive frightened, sick, or in need of special care.

It’s time for an important upgrade.
We are ready to invest in stainless steel cages that are easier to clean, disinfect, and sanitize. This is especially important when dealing with infectious diseases and outbreaks. These cages will allow us to provide a more hygienic environment and better protect the health of the vulnerable cats in our care.

Here’s what we need to raise:

* Stainless steel cages: $27,000

* Shipping: $7,400

* Total for cages: $34,700

* Additional room renovations: approximately $10,000

Our overall goal is approximately $44,700 to upgrade both rooms, including installing vinyl flooring, and sealing walls to make the spaces easier to disinfect and sanitize properly.

We know this is a big ask. As a 100% volunteer-run rescue, every dollar we spend comes from the generosity of people who believe that every cat deserves a chance at a healthier, safer life.
You have stood beside us in times of need, and today, we are asking you to stand with us once again! 

Together, we have rescued more than 1,200 cats and counting! 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 
This isn’t just about buying cages. It’s about creating a safer environment, improving disease prevention, and protecting the cats who depend on us every single day.

Can you help us make this happen?

 $10, $50, $100, or more, every contribution brings us one step closer to reaching our goal. If you can’t donate, sharing this post helps us reach others who may be able to.
From all of us at CATS Rescue, and especially from the cats who cannot ask for help themselves, thank you for being part of our village. We truly couldn’t do this without you! 😺💛🐾
