Fundraising is always the most difficult part of any rescue and in most cases, time intensive. During our advertising campaigns on social media, that we did over Thanksgiving/Christmas of 2023 we got 110%+ percent of Moral, Caring and Encouragement Support for our cause, but the finances due to (no name recognition in other states, especially since there are SO MANY scams via Internet/email) and the overall state of economic conditions the donations for this project just did not come in.  To raise six million for such a state-of-the-art facility is a tall order, so we are NOW starting to approach individuals & corporations to fund us sharing our complete business plan showing how we can be a “Self-Sustaining” non-profit organization and help other rescue organizations with both low cost & free services. See our BUSINESS PLAN webpage as to How & Why we will be a "Self-Sustaining" non-profit once our facility is built.

 

Could we Finance this facility buildout?  Yes, Credit wise, the founders have the ability to finance this project, but we WILL NOT. A 20-year monthly mortgage (if we financed) with insurance would be north of $50,000 a month, which means we would not be able to provide any free services to the rescues we would partner with.  Our goal from the beginning has been to help rescues with their own goals. To provide some free services to multiple rescues so that they can help even more felines.  Our goal to START is 5000 Free TNR/Exam/Vaccines & more annually and after that to provide Low-Cost services & emergency care as well. 

 

We ARE looking for a Temporary Location to be able to accommodate more cats and have a place where volunteers can help us as we have accumulated a long list of folks who would like to volunteer with us.  We will keep you posted on this.  However, we never know when we could get ALL the funding we need to start the buildout. We remain optimistic as we know what a State-of-the-Art Veterinary Facility & 200+ seat Cafe like ours could do for so many communities.
