Help Shelter Cats for Christmas
Donation protected
For the last several years, I've made donations to cat shelters around Christmastime. Last year, however, I was able to do a bit more!
My boyfriend and I went to a shelter and brought home a wonderful seven year-old black cat named Westley. He was friendly, well-adjusted, neutered, and had all his vaccinations, so there was nothing stopping up from bringing him straight to his forever home.
However, not all kitties have such an easy time finding a home! Shelters cats frequently need to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated before they can be adopted, particularly by families with other pets. Additionally, placing beds or scratching posts in their cages can help them feel more secure, promoting calm and friendly behavior that will win over people's hearts!
This year, I'd like to raise some extra money for my donation so that I can not only help shelters afford to feed and care for kitties, but get them in prime shape for adoption! Every penny I receive here will go to The Animal Rescue Site. If I achieve my goal, here's the breakdown of what it'd go to:
$100 to provide shelter room/board
$84 to spay/neuter 12 cats
$50 to vaccinate 25 cats
$20 to help 20 cats feel safe with scratchers and beds
(And of course, these numbers will go up if the goal is surpassed!)
With these donations, I'm hoping to prepare many cats for a Christmas adoption, just like Westley! As good as it will feel to give to such a (literally) warm and fuzzy cause, I have a few incentives to offer the particularly generous. I will be doing five professional quality sketch commissions for donations of $15+ and three color ones for donations of $50+! Here are some examples of what they will look like:
The drawings will either be waist up for humans or full body of an animal. They are digitally done and will be e-mailed to you in time for Christmas if you pledge for them by the 18th! They'd make a great gift for a loved one, especially if coupled with the story of how it was paid for with a contribution to helping kitties in need.
The campaign will run through December 20th, shortly after which I'll make sure all contributors see any commissions I draw for backers and a receipt for all the donations I'm able to give this year.
Please help me in this endeavor, so shelter kitties nationwide can get a home for the holidays, just like Wes! Thank you for your support.
