In 2023, 665 animals were assisted with donations. Since this program started in 2008, 9,125 animals have been assisted with veterinary donations.
Donations to Shelters, Rescues and Colony Cat Caregivers - Disbursements from this program go to struggling shelters and rescues to help them with their pet food and vet care needs. Many use the donations to purchase vaccines too. Donations are also made to assist with transport van repairs and other operating costs. Additionally, contributions to feral cat caregivers come out of this program to assist with the purchase of dry/wet cat food and necessary sheltering supplies for the cats.
