Since June of this year, we have had 33 successful adoptions with more in the pipeline!  This puts us on pace for close to 80 for our first full year. We could not have done it without the support of everyone who donated money, food, toys and medicine.  We are all so proud of what we have been able to accomplish and so grateful to everyone who has supported us and continues to support us.

In rescue, everything is an emergency, nothing ever goes according to plan and if there is a plan, it will surely change. There are many moving pieces like foster care, medical care, transport to and from the veterinarians, medicine, health records and that doesn’t even include when the felines in our care get sick! We are foster care only, so we tend to take in mostly kittens. While kittens are very cute and sweet, they are the most expensive because they are fragile and more susceptible to sickness – when one gets sick, the entire litter gets it and must be treated.  

Unfortunately, our fees do not cover the costs of each cat and kitten.  We lose money on every adoption and sick kittens get expensive quickly.  Money is necessary to achieve our goals, and we need more of it to support our mission of finding loving homes for cats in need. 

We ask that you please consider Coastal Cat Rescue as you make your charitable donations this year. No amount is too small, but bigger is always better so we can create a nest egg that will allow continued and sustainable growth. We would love it if you considered a recurring donation, as one of our biggest issues right now is our lack of predicted fundraising dollars which is making it hard for us to plan for the future. 

We have recently started using Givebutter to fundraise because it allows us to accept these Recurring donations and provides the option for the donor to cover our processing fees. We'd appreciate if you donate through Givebutter (and cover the fees!), but also have other donation options on our website: https://www.coastalcatrescue.org/giving.

Reminder: Donations to Coastal Cat Rescue are tax deductible and donation receipts can be provided upon request. Your generous contribution helps us pay for medical supplies, veterinary care, food, litter, and other supplies. As an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue, we are not paid any salaries, so every dollar goes directly to the cats and kittens in our care!
