Support The Poppy Foundation on by helping us raise money for bloodwork for our special needs and medically-dependent Poppy cats! 🐈‍⬛🩷🐾

Today, on National Cat Day, we are humbly asking for your support to help us provide preventative and ongoing labwork for our cats. As you may know, a majority of our Poppy cats have special needs or chronic illnesses, so they require intensive medical care. One component of our Poppy cats' medical care is to provide routine bloodwork. The cost of labwork is about $200, but the value is priceless to provide preventative care and create long-term medical plans for our cats. The Poppy Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit, supported solely by the generosity of our volunteers and donors. We are endlessly thankful for the support of our volunteers, donors, and Poppy cat-loving community!

Click here to donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=Y2MX7BCGQM7XS

We're asking for your help to raise $10,000, which would cover the cost of approximately 50 bloodwork panels for our elderly, special needs, chronically-ill, and medically-dependent Poppy cats. Can you help us reach our goal and continue to provide life-long medical care for our lovable, kissable, huggable, absolutely deserving Poppy kitties?

Thank you for your continued support and love!
Love,
The Poppy Foundation cats and their human caretakers
