Together\, we’ve rescued thousands of cats and kittens\, reunited families\, and found loving forever homes for countless felines. \nTo celebrate this incredible milestone\, we are launching our month-long $11 for 11 Years campaign! We are inviting everyone who has been part of our journey—whether you’ve adopted\, fostered\, volunteered\, shared our posts\, or cheered us on—to help us kick off our next chapter. \nWhy $11?\nIf just a small portion of our amazing community gave $11\, the collective impact would be massive. While we are celebrating 11 years of success\, kitten season is still in full swing. Every single dollar raised this month helps provide essential care to the cats still waiting for their chance. \nYour $11 directly funds: \n\nFood and litter\nVaccinations\nSpay/neuter surgeries\nEmergency medical care\n\nHow to Participate\n🎂 Donate $11 for 11 Years and help us make room for one more life by sending your e-transfer to Furrytalesrescue@gmail.com. \nThank you for believing that every life matters. Thank you for helping us say “yes” for the past 11 years. Thank you for an amazing 11 years! We couldn’t have done this without the support of our Furry Tales community. Here’s to many\, many more happy endings!
