🐾 Fundraising Friday: Let's talk about the unglamorous side of rescue... 🐱
Everyone loves seeing a cat find their forever home, but have you ever wondered what it costs to get them there?
In 2025 alone, our baseline bill for just food, litter, and everyday care supplies came out to $13,142.
That means we have to clear an average of $1,096 a month just to keep our shelter and foster network stocked with the bare essentials.
It’s a quiet, recurring cost, but it is exactly what makes saving lives possible.
💡 How you can help right now:
By donating a physical item from our wish list, you take a massive financial weight off our shoulders and directly fuel:
- Nutritious meals for growing kittens and recovering adults.
- Spotless, safe environments for cats waiting on E. Ogden Avenue and in foster care.
- Our community pet pantry, helping neighbors keep their beloved pets at home.
📦 Ship supplies straight to our door here:

Thank you for being a part of our rescue family! 💛
