Make a Donation or Sponsor
a Special Needs Cat or Kitty Family
Donations / Sponsorships
Perhaps you'd like to help a special cat but do not have
the room to adopt him or her. Or maybe you'd like to
assist a mom cat and her kittens. tYou can do the next
best thing and sponsor this cat (or kitty fmaily) to ensure
part or all of his/her treatment costs are offset. Most of our special needs cats have had a full blood
panel, which costs us a good percentage of the adoption
fee. Many have required extensive diagnostics including
x-rays, ECGs and ultrasounds, which are 4 to 5 times our
normal adoption fee. Some are on daily medication or
prescription food.
CATsNAP is a private, all-volunteer, not-for-profit
organization. We are not funded in any way by tax
dollars — we rely exclusively on adoption fees and
donations — and operate on a budget of less than $50,000
per year. In fiscal year 2005, most of our budget went
to veterinary expenses.
Help us to continue to help these animals by sponsoring a
special needs cat, or by making a one-time donation.
Cats like Monk, a kitten who was hit by a car and needed
surgery to repair the broken leg, and The Hulk, (pictured at
right) who had terribly infected bite wounds, depend on these
life-saving gifts. [View Special Needs Animals

We
also need KITTY FAMILY SPONSORS. A mom cat and
her kittens need special care - including a series of vet
visits to keep mom and her babies healthy - and the CATSNAP
foster homes provide it. I Kelly and her 5
babies (pictured at left) came to CATSNAP only hours after
the little ones were born. They required 8 weeks of
TLC and attention. We ask for $100 sponsorships for
these special groups. You will receive a picture of
your kitty family for your photo album. It will be a
wonderful reminder that your gift helped sustain the
precious life of the most vulnerable members of society. Donors willing to sponsor a special needs cat
or a kitty family for their
duration with CATsNAP may choose to be featured on our web
site.
Email our directors
with the name of the special needs cat you're interested in
sponsoring, along with your phone number(s), for more
details.
