SPONSORSHIPS AND MEMORIALS

 

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.  You can do the next best thing and sponsor a cat  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 2008, 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.

  • $30 - one month's supply of anti-thyroid medication

  • $30 - one month's supply of prescription food

  • $40 - one month's supply of insulin and syringes for a diabetic cat

  • $90 - heart work-up including x-rays and ECG for one cat with a heart murmur

  • $100 - full blood panel, including thyroid check

  • $400 - Surgical repair for broken or severely injured leg

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.
