Help Domino's Cat Rescue with Vet Bill and Cathouse Roof.

Please join us in making a difference for Domino's House..

We are raising money to benefit Domino's House Cat Rescue League, Inc and this time your donations will go towards a sizeable vet bill and a cathouse roof.

Domino's House is a Martin County, FL 501 (c)(3) Non Profit organisation that has called Palm City, Florida home since 2001, when Maris and Charlie Sine opened their hearts and their home to rescue, care for, adopt and rehome cats and kittens.

Charlie and Maris started a TNR (trapping, neutering, and release) program for stray cats in the wild that has reduced the overpopulation of strays in Palm City, Stuart, and surrounding areas, with Maris also taking on the feeding of a cat colony in Stuart for the past 22 years.

All in all Charlie and Maris have helped hundreds if not thousands of cats and kittens live their best lives.

In 2022, after a 63-year marriage, Maris lost her beloved husband and partner "in time", Charlie.

Charlie was an instrumental part Dominos, he maintained home and office as well as the barn, the five cat houses and the five acres of grass on the property.

Losing Charlie was incredibly difficult for Maris, but she did not miss a beat when it came to caring for the cats that call Dominos home.

At now 87 years young, through Covid, personal loss, cancer, 2 strokes and a broken hip, Domino's fearless leader has kept going and she remains the inspiration of both staff and volunteers alike.

So why does Domino's now need your help?

Well, as a non-profit, Domino's depend entirely on donations and contributions from everyday people like us to keep going.

These all dwindled sharply during Covid and due to the current financial climate, charitable donations are no longer top of everyones list each month. Domino's know and understand that and with the help of a small group of dedicated volunteers as well as a small staff they do all they can to keep a roof over the kitties heads and food in their bowls, but with the numbers of cats to be fed and cared for standing at 50, and with minimum wages and with inflation biting us all, it is a struggle that has now become a call for help when they are faced with large or unexpected bills.

Domino's Regular Monthly Operational Costs:

Staff and Insurance : 7000

Cat Food : 2800

Cat Litter : 600

Vetrinary Fees/Medications/Treatments/Supplemets : 1000 -????

Accounting/Taxes/Internet/Phone Services : 1200

Utilities/Power/Waste : 1000

The costs are down after there has been a tightening of belts, but there are some unforseen expenses that you just cannot escape.

2025 has been a year with higher than average costs.

Domino's have paid out well over 10.000 so far this year in vets fees, for treatments, medications and supplements, and are now currently looking at a vet bill in the amount of $ 5805.45 for the kitties.

After the winter storms there was also damage to the buildings and on the property that went unseen for some time but ultimately required the replacement of the hot water heater for the rescue as well as a whole new roof for the guest/kitten house and the breezeway.

Add to that, the fact that they will now need to replace the roof on Domino's, the largest of the cat houses and have had no choice but to bring in the "treeguys" to deal with dangerous trees, it has been a challenging spring and early summer. In fact, another tree split and branch fell just last weekend, taking out part of the fence and narrowly missing one of the buildings. Luckily neither cats nor people were hurt when it fell.

But the joy that is found in every, recovery, every adoption and in seeing Domino's kitties thrive more than makes up for the more difficult times, as does the help and support of all Domino's friends, followers and donors.

Without you, small non profit 501(c)(3) rescues like Domino's, who do not receive government or have large corporate sponsors would soon face closing their doors.

$ 1, $ 10 or $ 100, every donation made to help keep the wheels turning, the lights on, food in the bowls and litter in the boxes means the world to the staff, the volunteers and to the kitties. As does your kind donations and deliveries of food, toys and treats.
