Sponsorship Information

Sadly we are often told we are trying to get rich on our animals. That couldn't be any further from the truth. We go in the whole with 90% of our adoptions and 99 % of our rescue pulls.

Each feline rescued cost us between $45-$100 on average vetting depending on what is required. A basic neuter is $45, which includes rabies only. That cost goes up to $55 if it is a female. These cost reflect clinic prices only. At our local vet's office we are blessed enough to get a $5 and $60 cost if there are no complications. That price is because we buy our own rabies vaccines. The price on top of this starts to climb with each service. Flea meds are $5-10. A combo test 20-25 if we use our own test. If we have to get one at the vet's cost it is $45-60. Basic vaccines around $8. If we do an felv shot, that is another $10. Health certs cost between $6 and $25. Microchips add another $7.

The average adoption donation is $25-40. We do have an occasional angel to donate around $100. The average rescue pull donation is $37 and that is provided for maybe a 1/3rd of what is pulled. If we have a rescue we know that will be able to get the baby into a quality home quickly, we often send them vetted without a pull fee if we have the funding.

These cost do not reflect ear mite, uti, uri, or ring worm treatments, which are all super common. Many of our cats and kittens require a convenia injection on intake for abcesses. Have to see a vet? Add a $40-50 charge for initial visit, and $20-25 each follow up. Poop issues are really running our vet bills up. We recently spent $500 stocking up our fosters with supplies to try to avoid vet visits. Eye removals run $125-150 and leg removals run $150-300 depending on the complexity of the surgery. We are super blessed to have these rates, but this doesn't even account for food, litter, monthly preventatives, or any future medical needs. Some of our cats are not adoptable and have been with us 5 years now. People say don't send them off for less than their fees. Who does that hurt the most, the kitties. The faster we can find a wonderful forever home, the better. It means less stress, less chance to share germs, and a home with a designated family for the furrbaby. And it allows a spot to help another one.

Essentially, in 12 years we have built lots of support. We have rescues that can always pull small kittens and move them to homes. It just takes money, time, and volunteers. Moving them off the streets and into forever homes financially is win for all and the best way to give the baby a long happy life. We welcome partial or full sponsorship of any our babies. Eventually if we can get our numbers down, we can get restructured and set up to move them thru quicker. The longer they are with us, the more complicated it becomes.

We rely on fundrais ing and donations to provide all vetting at the present time. Even if our rescue can not intake cats, we want to always be able to offer assistance with spaying and neutering. Without this option, the cats will continue to multiply out of control. Often if we offer to alter the cat, the person contacting us will allow him or her to stay in place until other options are available. If it is a cat we have no other options for, at least vetting will improve the life of the animal exponentially. If you can donate or help us raise money, it will save lives every time.
