Donating is Philanthropy of the Highest Order

Like most everyone... we are struggling to survive...

These images are placeholders until I can get pics of the actual colony cats when the weather improves.

IMAGINE TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH A BRUTALLY COLD WINTER - LIVING OUT IN THE WOODS 24/7 - LITTLE FOOD - FROZEN WATER - POOR SHELTER - NO HEAT - FACING PREDATORS -- That's what our cats must endure.

"I think about the cat's quality of life. There simply aren't enough resources for them to exist on their own. These little innocent beings need our help and protection. This is about doing good for those less fortunate."

"There are 9 cats in the colony, plus I have 3 of my own at home. As with many retirees, I can afford the time to devote to building shelters and feeding stations to cope with the winter's freezing temperatures, and I can do the daily feeding... but on my small social security income I cannot afford to pay for cat food and the inevitable vet bills. I need help from the community." - Doug Hines, Advocate for the Abbey Lane Cats

PLEASE DONATE TO KEEP THE CATS FED THROUGH THIS BITTERLY COLD  WINTER.

  • Dry food is donated each month by the Humane Society of Washington County.
  • Please consider setting up a recurring donation.
  • Although Chewy has a Wish List for 501(c)(3) rescues and shelters, it doesn't include individual caregivers for cat colonies. (Maybe you could encourage Chewy to include us in their Wish List program. - See letter to Chewy below)
  • A Huge thank you to all who have donated previously. You have made a positive difference in the colony cats' lives.
