Town Cats Giving Tuesday 2021
Now more than ever we are called to make a difference.
Together We Give.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Town Cats has participated in Giving Tuesday every year since as a way to encourage the community to support animal welfare in a meaningful way and to kickstart the giving season with an opportunity to support the causes that matter to you most.
Town Cats has a long tradition of saving cats that otherwise would not have a chance. In 1997, we got our start as a grass-roots brick and mortar facility which was established by Rosie Mirko. Today, our organization has expanded into a robust foster-based rescue and resource center led by a team of outstanding and knowledgeable staff members, volunteers, and fosters.
Our organization has a long tradition of saving cats that otherwise would not have a chance. We don’t shy away from tough cases. In fact, Town Cats has always believed that Every Cat Matters. Young or old, healthy or special needs, friendly or feral: we provide a safe haven for them all. More often, we rescue cats that are suffering from illness or injury, which places them at risk of euthanasia in municipal shelters. They need unexpected surgeries, diagnostics, or additional treatments in order to get them adoption-ready. Town Cats has a dedicated fund to provide medical treatment for these cases, called The Angel Fund. This fund is set up to help to cover extensive veterinary costs that are above and beyond standard program operations.
We want to inspire you to become an Angel for cats in need by donating to the Town Cats Angel Fund this Giving Tuesday!
Our goal is to raise $45K for this year’s Giving Tuesday. Help us meet the needs of our current and incoming rescues today by supporting our no-kill mission to save more cats in the community because Every Cat Matters.
Every donation makes a difference, no matter how big or small. Thanks to our Matching Fund partners, your dollar is now DOUBLED, up to $10k. You give $1, we get $2! Together we can care for more cats in the community!
