Thank you to this sweet Cat-Loving Community for continuing to show us love and support! It's been eight years full of ups and downs and we couldn't have made it without your support. We appreciate YOU for supporting us through it all. With your help we have found loving homes for 940 cats since April of 2017! And your support allows us to provide a great little foster home for the 65+ cats in our care.
This past year has continued to be a roller coaster. We started the year with our expansion into the cat studio; more than doubling the number of cats in our program. Unfortunately, we over forecasted the volume of catcafe guests that we'd be serving with the additional space. Thankfully our donor base supported us strongly and our increased level of donations in 2024 provided the support and safety-net needed to help cover the increased rent and overhead costs in addition to the increased vetting and food cost.
When we lost electricity for several days in May due to Derecho, the community showed up to help and we were able to find fosters for 20 of our cats; allowing us to get the cats out of the heat and into air-conditioned homes. We also received a donation from Titan Subsea Innovations, LLC. to purchase and install a generator so that we are better prepared for the next storm.
It really does take a community...
This year continues to provide challenges to work through such as large vet bills and food truck and applicance mechanical issues amidst an economic background of uncertainty. Please consider helping us weather this new storm of uncertainty by making a donation to our 8 Year Anniversary Fundraiser.
