**Help Fresno TNR Replace Our Van and Keep Cats on the Road to Care**

On Thursday, October 22, our Fresno TNR transport van was rear-ended. Thankfully, no people or cats were injured, and we are incredibly grateful that everyone was safe.

The van did not fare as well. The impact left it beyond repair, and our insurance company has declared it a total loss.

**We are now one van short, and we urgently need a replacement to continue transporting cats to the care they need.**

Fresno TNR officially became a nonprofit in **May 2023**, with a mission to reduce community cat overpopulation and suffering through Trap-Neuter-Return, education, and access to affordable veterinary services.

With the support of dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and veterinary partners, we have now helped spay and neuter **more than 28,000 cats.** Each one represents a life helped and a step toward fewer unwanted litters and less suffering in our community.

Our volunteers give their time to trap cats, coordinate appointments, clean kennels, support caregivers, and transport cats safely to and from veterinary services. Reliable transportation makes all that work possible.

Losing this van puts an immediate strain on our transport capacity. For a volunteer-run nonprofit already working hard to keep services affordable, an unexpected vehicle replacement is a major expense.

**We are asking our community to help us purchase a safe, reliable replacement van as soon as possible. ** Funds raised through this campaign will go toward that purchase so we can keep transporting cats for spay and neuter services and veterinary care.

Whether you can give $5, $25, $100, or another amount, your donation will help us get a replacement on the road. If you can't donate, please share our fundraiser. You may also help by connecting us with a dealership, business, or individual willing to donate a suitable van or offer one at a reduced price.

We are so thankful that everyone came through this accident safely. Now we need help taking the next step.

**Please help Fresno TNR get back to full transport capacity so more cats can reach the care they deserve.**

With gratitude,
