We received a $1500 donation from an anonymous donator though Renaissance Charitable Foundation. We are so appreciative and this was perfect timing because the super low-cost clinic, which we need in order to do the volume of TNR we do in a large city, and TNR groups can only function with super-low cost spay/neuter/vaccination was discontinued at the location we went to and they do not have spots at their other locations. So we are in a situation of operating at higher spay/neuter/vaccination costs this year until we find another vet who provides their services specifically to TNR groups and understands the pricing structure we require in order to be able to perform TNR at a high volume. This donation will allow us to start up until our annual funds for the year come in from our annual fund mailing. At the pricing we will need to pay our annual fund will not get us through the year. But we are relieved that we can start up for the year! We already have several pregnant moms that we will need to let deliver and will target moms and roaming tom cats when we start up and likely have another year where we are chasing kittens and not ahead of births (which is more intake for us), but we will be able to make an impact in maintaining and decreasing the outdoor feral community cat population, through the prevention of outdoor births, in a strategic way in Aurora.
