In 2016, James gained the youth division of Cat Olympics at Cat City’s Meow on the Moon fundraiser — completely pantomiming a cat’s prowess with velocity and magnificence. James has visited our cats for years along with his household, and this month, he grew to become a month-to-month donor to assist us safe our $10,000 problem match. This is what he needed to say about changing into a Cat City supporter at age 13:
Why did you turn out to be a month-to-month donor, and what influence do you hope to make?
James after profitable Cat City’s Cat Olympics in 2016.
I do not bear in mind my earliest visits to Cat City as a result of I used to be so younger, however what all the time stands out to me is how pleasant and effectively taken care of the cats are. You may see that cats who was scared aren’t scared anymore. That reveals they’ve made a number of enchancment, and that Cat City has executed an important job serving to them.
I am glad and proud to have the ability to assist these cats, and I hope that my month-to-month donations might help with dental care at Cat City. My cat Butterfly had dental surgical procedure just a few months in the past. Earlier than her surgical procedure, she was actually sad and irritated. She hissed lots and was in a foul temper. After her surgical procedure she’s actually candy once more. I am glad she feels higher.
Is there something you wish to inform our neighborhood — individuals or cats?
James with considered one of his cats, Butterfly.
To individuals: if you wish to assist animals in your neighborhood, I believe volunteering and donating is a good way to begin. While you volunteer your personal time to a rescue like Cat City, the workers can accomplish much more. And whenever you donate, an animal who wants surgical procedure or different care can get it — issues that volunteers can’t do and that price cash to offer.
To the cats ready to be adopted: don’t fret, somebody who you may like and who’ll like you will discover you, and you will get to be in a household. You are secure now, and your life will get even higher.
Thanks to James and the 36 different supporters who’ve turn out to be month-to-month donors to date this month. We have secured greater than 50% of our $10,000 problem match — which implies these month-to-month contributions will probably be doubled for the subsequent 6 months. Our workers and cats are so grateful!
Cats like Henry, George, and Griffin have all wanted medical assist this 12 months. You may assist extra cats like them really feel their finest and get adopted.
