We love donations!
We could not provide for the cats in our care without the support of people like you! We’re funded entirely by your generous donations and staffed by volunteers. It’s a labor of love, and we hope you’ll stop by our shelter some time to see the lives your love helped save.
Cat Guardians, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization. Your contributions are tax deductible to the extent provided by law, and go primarily to caring for the cats and maintaining the shelter they live in. We also do outreach to our community, spreading the word about our cats, our shelter, and the plight of stray & feral cats everywhere.
Donate Online
Cat Guardians accepts donations online through PayPal, which lets you make donations securely using your credit card. You don’t need a PayPal account to make a donation.
