Cats in the City Rescue | Donor Support
Rescue does not happen at one moment. Cats may need temporary stabilization, medical care, behavioral recovery, transportation, specialized senior support, or enough help to remain safely with the family who already loves them. Choose the part of the safety net you want to strengthen.
Quick donor routes
You can give where support is most needed or choose a dedicated funding pathway connected to a specific rescue need.

Each dedicated page explains the problem the fund addresses, what donor support helps provide, and how that work connects to the larger Cats in the City Rescue system.

If you do not need to designate a specific fund, support Cats in the City Rescue broadly and allow resources to follow the cats and situations that need them.
The donation form also allows you to choose one-time, monthly recurring, or annual recurring support.
Ongoing support
Recurring support creates a more predictable foundation for cats who may need days, weeks, or longer periods of stabilization before the right next step becomes clear.
What support makes possible
Food and supplies matter. But durable rescue outcomes also require time, observation, medical awareness, safe space, transportation, skilled care, and thoughtful transition planning.
Housing, food, litter, enrichment, cleaning, observation and individualized routines.
Veterinary evaluation, medication support, diagnostics and follow-up when needed.
Time for stress, shutdown or fear-driven behavior to become more understandable.
Temporary support when keeping the current relationship intact may still be possible.
Safe passage to veterinary care, temporary care, placement, relocation or reunification.
Assessment, placement matching and support designed to help the next outcome hold.
Memorial & honor giving
Many people support rescue because a cat changed their own life. A gift can carry that relationship forward by helping another cat receive medical care, behavioral recovery, safe housing, transportation, or a more stable transition.
