Our organization continues to thrive through the efforts of our volunteers and in-kind donations of services and supplies, adoption fees, and monetary contributions. You can support the care of our cats and kittens through a variety of resources found on this page.
To give you an example of how far your donation goes, consider this …
$25 will cover 80 pounds of litter
$50 will cover one week of cleaning supplies
$100 will feed our adorable cats for one week
$200 will significantly offset medical costs to prepare a cat for adoption (complete physical exam, spay/neuter, rabies, distemper, feline leukemia/aids test, microchipping, and other treatments)
Thank you for your continued support of Caring for Cats!

Sponsor a Cat
WHY SPONSOR A CAT?
Maybe you can't take in another cat.
Maybe you're compassionate but allergic.
Maybe you want to do more.
In those cases, please consider sponsoring a cat.
Several of our cats have special needs or are older, making it challenging to place them in permanent homes. By sponsoring these cats you can help us provide food, shelter, and healthcare for these wonderful animals, who need all the love and care we can give them.
CLICK HERE to sponsor a cat. After you've filled out the form, there will be an area where you can specify the category of cats you would like to sponsor.
Your recurring donation makes a huge difference in the lives of our kitties. Even $5 a month helps to offset the costs of feeding and cleaning expenses.
No donation is too small.
You are making a difference.
We appreciate your support and so do the kitties.
