<div><strong>CALLING ALL ANIMAL LOVERS &amp; SHELTER SUPPORTERS:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Please consider donating any amount you can to help the GCFA with our rising animal census and building costs.</strong>
</div>
<div>Our current census: 85 ferrets (as of October).
</div>
<div>We've had two A/C failures this summer and a huge number of new ferrets at the shelter. We're counting on our Chicagoland community to raise money for those costly repairs. Any remaining money will go into GCFA's building fund. It's our goal to one day offer a permanent location for our ferrets to stay in until they can find their forever home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know you work hard for your money, even small donations make a huge difference to these animals. Every cent of your donation will go towards supporting lifelong care for our surrendered ferrets and their home in Lyons: <a href="https://www.gcfa.com/make-a-donation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donate through our verified website</a>
</div>
<div><strong><em>Your money always goes 100% toward animal care, we do NOT employ staff. We rely on the contributions of our community and loyal supporters to keep our mission going.</em></strong>
