Help Stray Cats of Elm Avenue & Community

My beautiful mother, Inge Cristiano, passed away on May 14, 2021. She had a love for all animals and in particular, she did her best to help feed all the stray cats on Elm Avenue too. She also tried to get the help of rescues to spay and neuter the kitties, but each year it seemed there were more to feed. Over the years, a couple of other neighbors started to feed the stray cats too, but somehow, they always ended up at my mother's. Day and night.

We need help to find responsible rescues to hopefully trap, fix, treat and possibly rehome the stray cats. There are at least 15, our educated guess may be as many as 20 on the block. If there is extra money, we would like to continue to spay and neuter other cats with the help of our local veterinarians too. This money raised will go to a notable rescue or a few.

There is an anonymous offer to match the first $1,000 raised. You are being asked to kindly contribute to this cat-saving fund in lieu of flowers for my beautiful mother Inge.

For those who knew my mom, she was kind, genuine, generous, and known for her pure truth and integrity! These little cats and kittens counted on my mother. Although there are a few neighbors helping feed these cats and care for them too,  the cat community needs a lot more help now.  Without my mother there to help, this situation truly saddens me. 

Thank you in advance! I hope you find in your heart to contribute so we can make a significant impact on helping the cats and kittens of Elm and if money left over, we would like to continue helping cats of the City of Long Beach in the beautiful memory of my mother, Inge Cristiano. 

We are accepting donations until June 30, 2021,  for a matching offer.
