$100,000 Goal

Stillwater Cat Haven received its non-profit status in 2011, 13 years ago! Through Dec 2023 we had completed 2,029 TNR spay/neuters, located in all of our surrounding communities.  In Redding we have active colony projects, one where 110 were trapped at the Higgins parcel and Park Plaza on Churn Creek between Cypress and Hartnell, a second site which had 25 cats and a third with 15. We continue to monitor colony sites with supplemental food and water at 11 Redding sites.  And we monitor at 15 sites in Anderson. 

We have adopted 592 cats that are conditioned to human contact, many from events at Petco and Petsmart in Redding.  Most of these adopted came from unowned community cats as kittens, abandoned cats who were missing their human contact, or tamed ferals who develop a desire for pet companionship.  Our sanctuary home in the County varies in size and contains 110 cats currently. We have part-time help at the home sanctuary providing a minimum wage supplement to family incomes. Public donations have contributed 20.37% and 22.52% of our income in the last two years.  Our non-profit ownership has been the primary financial resource that has become exhausted in this current time.  We did have a Best Friends grant supplementing all but $10.00 of each TNR surgery for one year, which we have not been able to repeat. 

This is the current situation at Stillwater Cat Haven.  We do have a significant history of efforts in the stabilization of community cat colonies.  But the founders are now 83 and our physical, mental, and finances have significant limitations.  Our retirement funds that have supported this non-profit effort are nearly exhausted.  We have publicized our current situation and did receive significant donations of supplies and financial help, and our current survival continues because of this support.  

This Giving Tuesday is very important to our continued effort.  In an ideal world we could be retiring with others able to continue these efforts.  A lesser option is to be able to continue as we have, but with additional financial and material support from our community of caring citizens.
