Thank You for Making Cinco de Meow Unforgettable!

Our hearts are full after an incredible evening at Cinco de Meow on May 8! Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, bid, volunteered, or cheered us on from afar—you helped make this one of the most impactful events we've ever hosted.

We’d like to give a very special shoutout to our business sponsors, whose generosity played a huge role in bringing this night to life:

Benson's Pet Center, Capitaland GMC Subaru, Smile Lounge Interactive, Curtis Lumber's PetAPalooza, and Steve Caporizzo-Pet Connection 🧡

Your support means the world to us—and to the cats and kittens we care for every day.

To everyone who helped sponsor the event, brought cat food donations, entered raffles, or joined us for dinner, laughter, and a shared love for animals: THANK YOU. Because of you, more cats like Mr. Big, Lo**ta and her sweet kittens will get the second chance they deserve.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you again next year!

With gratitude,
The Whiskers Team

It's Make a Difference Monday! Here are some ways to make a lasting difference through a major gift:

🧡 By including Whiskers in your estate planning, you can provide essential needs like food, shelter, and medical care to cats for years to come. There are various avenues to establish a planned gift, such as:​

o Bequests in Your Will: Designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to Whiskers.​
o Living Trusts: Include Whiskers as a beneficiary in your trust arrangements.​
o Life Insurance Policies: Name Whiskers as a beneficiary to extend your support beyond your lifetime.

For a list of ways to give, visit https://ewhiskers.com/planned_giving .

🧡 Do you want to make a difference now? If you are at least 70 ½ years old, you can give via the IRA charitable rollover (QCD) from your IRA directly without having to pay income taxes on the donation (up to $100,000). https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/seniors-can-reduce-their-tax-burden-by-donating-to-charity-through-their-ira

🧡 Do you want to make a REALLY BIG difference now? Consider a gift of real estate. By donating real estate to Whiskers, you can make a meaningful contribution to our mission while potentially receiving significant tax benefits, such as:
o Avoiding capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated property
o Receiving a charitable income tax deduction
o Reducing estate taxes and simplifying estate planning

Meet Milo, Michy & Nena – 🐾

These beautiful sibling kitties, born in April 2024, have blossomed under loving care and are finally ready to find their forever home. All three are healthy, fun and affectionate cats. They’re playful, curious, and absolutely adorable – each with a unique personality that will melt your heart:

• Michy (medium-haired tuxedo male): Handsome with a white-tipped tail and little gray ear tufts. Michy is a bit independent – but loves to get into mischief. Despite his confident streak, he’s gentle and playful once settled. Michy adores chasing toys and is very friendly with fellow cats.

• Nena (tuxedo female): Sweet and reserved, Nena warms up quickly once she knows you. She loves pets and lots of play time. Nena loves her brother Milo – and would love to stay with him. This playful sweetheart gets along great with other kitties.

• Milo (white-and-tabby male): Curious and adventurous, loves exploring every nook and cranny. This happy boy is always ready for a game – whether that’s chasing a laser pointer or pouncing on a feather toy. He adores people and will follow you around with his playful antics. Milo and Nena are best buddies so these two would bring double the joy to any family.

All three are ready to give and receive endless cuddles and playtime in a forever home of their own! ❤️

🏡 Adoption Details
Location: Find Milo, Michy, and Nena at PetSmart in Clifton Park (Village Plaza Shopping Center, Cat Section).
