Help !! Need info on anyone that can sponsor for spay

Need sponsors for spaying cats - Need to be done in one week (by 7/27/05)
Please read:
My sister and I are trying to help a family that has been taking in
strays, (but can't really afford

it) to find homes for them. They have forty cats / kittens.We have found
homes for 2 moms and all

the kittens, 6months and younger. We also found placements for the rest,
but (15) the animals

need to be spayed before the new homes will accept them. Hence the need
for donations/

sponsors for spaying!
The local shelter came down on them and gave them 5 days to find homes
or turn them in to the

shelter .**** They will be euthanized as they are received by shelter (PAWS)
as they can't

accomodate that many.*** We finally got a one week extension before they
have to be turned in.

So we are in dire need of help for our furry friends.

Sorry, but a bid from an unknown for money doesn't sound good. Especially
when you add in a sales pitch at the end.

Watch you wallets.

Storm,
Thank you for wanting to help these cats.
First, do whatever you can to enlist the help of rescue organizations in
your area who will know local sources of low cost spay or neutering.
Remember that these rescue groups also have limited resources, so they will
be reluctant or unable to completely take over the situation for you.
They need to know that you are not just dumping on them. But they will help
however they can. It has to be mutual.
Remember, that spay and neuter is not the end, but the beginning of a
journey to find a home for these kitties. The rescue organizations may be
able to help in rehoming, also. Maybe someone will help you assess the cats
and what kind of home would be best for each cat's needs. Maybe they will
display the cats at a local location.
Enlist the help of the local news organizations. Take pictures of the cats
and make posters with the explanation of what you are trying to do and put
them up in veterinarian offices and anywhere else you think animal lovers
might see them and be moved to help.
Nobody with any sense will send any money directly to you because you posted
something on the internet. If you decide to post a veterinarian as a
contact, please check with them first to make sure they are willing to be
listed and will take payments to apply to your rescue situation.
Good luck,
Annie

More information received about situation and how to handle any donations:

Our local shelter, Peoria Animal Welfare Shelter, (PAWS) is NOT a no- kill
Shelter.> Unfortunately, they have only given us a 1 week extension to place
these animals ourselves, and to place them we must have them spayed or
neutered. They ARE NOT ABLE to accept donations for us. We have been
notified by the shelter that they have no room for any animals and all (even
the nursingkittens) will be put down as soon as they arrive. Our deadline is
FridayJuly 29, 2005. Any cats left will be euthanized. (hence the posting of
the27th deadline, will give us a few days to get them to the Vet before they
are taken from the family).

I have been working with a not for profit organization called CAWS
(Citizens for Animal Welfare and Shelter), they have worked very hard for
us, but their funds are running very low, and they can only do so much. They
have helped us find homes for all the adults (but must be spay/neutered
before
can take them there), and an organization called "Friends of Strays" in
Princeton, IL are going to be able to take both nursing mothers and babies
along with 7 kittens that are 6 months and younger.

Donations can be sent to:

CAWS (Citizens for Animal Welfare and Shelter)
Attn: Rebecca Matheny
104 S. 13th St.
Pekin, IL 61554-4945

They are licensed with the State of Illinois and registered with the
Illinois Attorney General, and are a 501 (C3) not for profit organization.
Donations are Tax Deductible, please send a request with your donation if
you need a tax exempt letter and one will be sent.
OR
You can donate to the local Veterinary Clinic that helps the organization
with Spay and Neuter procedures.

Lang Animal Clinic
Attn: CAWS
1305 Black Street
Pekin, IL 61554

They will be sure that the donations are credited to the account for these
animals.

This Veterinary Clinic gives CAWS a discounted price of $50.00 for a spay,
and $35.00 for a neuter, so a donation of $50.00 will be greatly
appreciated
as most of the cats are female.

Hi Storm,

Congratulations on finding permanent and temporary homes for these kitties.
That shows a great deal of effort and talent.

I'm assuming that the people who have agreed to adopt the adults would be
willing to pay for the spay or neuter and vaccinations. That is, after all,
part of pet ownership.

If they're not willing or able to take on that expense, you have to wonder
what they will do the first time the new cat gets a medical problem.

They might just take it to one of those places that will put the cat down.

I hope it all works out O.K. with those placements, but I realize that you
have a deadline to place a lot of cats at once and maybe have to take what
you can get for now.

If some need to be rehomed for whatever reason, it will be unfortunate, but
easier to deal with it later on an individual basis.

How many cats do you have to have done? I don't have the original post.

Again, good luck. I've done some rescues. For me it is extremely stressful,
but satisfying to know that my efforts have done some good.

Annie
