The obvious one is to click on the donate button in the right hand column, and donate some money. Any amount will be greatly appreciated — $1.00 buys 2 cans of cat food, $20.00 pays for neutering and vaccinating 1 hard feral cat through the Humane Society’s TNR program, $150 will allow us to sterilize and vaccinate 1 stray or friendly feral through private vets. $500 will allow us to socialize a litter of kittens and prepare them for adoption. $1000 helps to save a litter of newborn kittens, bottle feed them, and prepare them for adoption.
