Do you feel that way as you browse the pet lists on Petfinder.com? You're not alone. It's the most common sentiment expressed by a lot of visitors to our adoption events. The good news is that most of them go on to find the cat or kitten of their dreams---that perfect companion--and to provide him or her a "forever home".
But what about the ones left behind, those equally deserving companions who for some reason are just not a good lifestyle match?
We've got good news for them---You can help!!! Petfinder.com and its Petfinder.com Foundation are excited to offer a feature that allows you to sponsor a homeless pet that has touched your heart, but whom, for some reason, you can't adopt at this time. Feline Friends is one of 900 rescues nation-wide participating in this program.
Contributions are collected and distributed to the animal shelters or rescue organizations by the Petfinder.com Foundation and are tax deductible as the law allows. The participating shelters or rescue groups are notified of the donations received and donor contact information (only if given permission by the donor), so they can monitor which pets are "sponsored" and acknowledge the donation as well. In the event that the pet is no longer available for adoption or receives numerous sponsorships, the animal adoption organization may apply the donations to ongoing needs for the other pets currently in its care.
We are very grateful to be able to partner with Petfinder.com Foundation on this wonderful and generous program!
