Sponsor-A-Cat

Have you ever wanted to help a shelter cat, but can't adopt another pet into your home? Now you can help by sponsoring a cat that is waiting at the shelter for an adopter!

For just $30 individuals, businesses, schools, and corporations can support ASAP by sponsoring a cat. Sponsors will receive a certificate of sponsorship with the sponsored cat's picture in the center. Your donation goes toward the cat's care, including any necessary medical attention and medications. This makes a great gift for birthdays, Mother's/Father's Day, graduations, or any occasion!

Who can be a sponsor?
  • Previous adopters
  • Local businesses and corporations
  • Local veterinary hospitals
  • Local pet shops
  • Local schools (as part of humane education)
  • ASAP volunteers and supporters
  • Allergic pet lovers who can't live with cats
  • YOU!

Contact us to find out more about sponsoring a needy cat at the shelter.

ASAP needs your help this year more than ever. The cats need everyone to s-t-r-e-t-c-h their annual giving to secure the future of ASAP and its unique program well into the next century. Gifts can be designated to one of seven funds. When you give in one of the seven donation categories listed, you get special recognition.

There are many ways you can help: a gift of stock, a planned gift in the form of a bequest, a pledged amount over the next three years, or a memorial gift to honor a loved one, to name a few. A call to us will help explore the tax advantages available to you, while helping ASAP to continue and to grow.

Please join us now in helping make a huge difference in what we can accomplish for many generations of cats to come!

Donation Categories:

  1. GENERAL FUND:
    • Used for everything from post-adoption veterinary care to advertising our wonderful cats or buying laundry soap.

  2. LESTER FUND:
    • Provides monies for extraordinary medical procedures for a needy cat. This fund helps protect our heavily used General Fund.
