Hi everyone!

I hope you all had an AMAZING holiday and end to 2022!

Thanks to your support we were able to help almost 100 cats last year as a rescue- in less than 10 months! When compared to other local rescues that number may seem small- but this was our FIRST YEAR as a rescue, which didn’t even become a rescue until March. 

I am beyond proud of the work we accomplished as a team, and the numbers we have don’t even include the cats that we referred to other rescues- arrangements for transfers and other support that we provided for special situations. 

Abby Cat Daddy focuses on the local community cat population, the strays, the “ferals”, the farm cats that got dumped and of course local surrenders due to circumstances outside of their previous owners control. 

With the work we have done, comes a large financial cost for vet care, medical supplies, treatments, food, litter, toys etc.

Currently, Abby Cat Daddy owes our clinic $1600, $300 to other small organizations who supported us during medical emergencies so that we didn’t have to worry about funds while making tough decisions, and an outstanding balance on a supply order of $368.40- this is a total of $2193.11 that we need to pay as soon as we can- thankfully those whom we owe are understanding, but knowing we owe makes it harder to take on more cases and being able to focus on whats important- the cats.

We are also finally in the process of registering as an official non-profit registered society and the cost for that process is $130 (quite cheap in retrospect)- with a slight name change anticipated at the end. This will give us more opportunities to corporate and government grants, local support from businesses and other discounts on some of our supplies.

With all of this in mind- and knowing that we are headed into one of the busiest seasons for cat rescue- kitten season- we have a fundraising goal of $4000, so that we can pay our dues and have enough of a buffer to head into kitten season without worrying of the finances.

We will have several mini-fundraisers going on from now until the end of February to help us achieve our goal.
