We ask you to open your heart and think about how much you can donate to our shelter to offset State-mandated vetting expenses, additional vetting expenses, payroll for our staff, insurance, utility costs etc? It costs around $190,000 annually to keep our shelter open. We run only on donations and your contributions are tax deductible.
If you are unable to contribute much, that doesn't mean we can't or won't help you. However, keep in mind, when we are full, we are full. We do try to save a few spots for kill shelter overflow.
Please keep in mind veterinary costs for each cat can be up to $150 to be adoptable by state requirements. This amount does not include the cost to run our shelter such as payroll, utilities, taxes, insurance, supplies and outside medical costs such as illness and road hits.
