There are many ways to help C.A.T. continue
it's loving care of these wonderful cats. Fundraising
events provide lots of opportunities to raise money for
various projects. Donations of money or needed items to
the shelter also help with the greatest needs. Every
little bit helps, and it all goes to shelter operations.
These are just some of the ways you can contribute. DONATION OF
FUNDS
Direct donation -
CAT happily accepts all unrestricted donations.
General donations can be made for CAT to apply to
the greatest need or you can specify that your
donation be applied to one of two funds: the Cat
Care fund which goes specifically towards the
medical and care needs of the cats, or the Spay
Neuter fund.
Any restricted donations, or donations with
attached conditions, must first be approved by
our Board before they can be accepted. A donation
made for a specific pet, pet program, or for a
particular project (e.g. a building fund) is not
considered to be restricted.
Donate to C.A.T. In Honor of
Someone Special - People can be
recognized by friends, family, neighbors and
coworkers with a donation made in their honor.
Great for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries,
graduations or just a special way to say thanks.
Those being honored will receive a card from
C.A.T. informing them that a donation to C.A.T.
was made in their honor and their name will be
listed in the next newsletter in the Appreciation
Section. Gifts can also be made to C.A.T. in
memory of cherished family, friends and pets.
Contributions in honor of those being remembered
are listed in the Memorial Section of the
newsletter.
Sponsor-A-Cat - It
is impossible for C.A.T. to shelter all the
homeless cats in Topeka, but we reach out to as
many as we possibly can. Each one has their own
story, their own personality, and their own
needs. As a no kill shelter, they never run out
of time. They will be cared for until the perfect
home can be found. The number of homeless cats
continues to grow each year. Individuals who want
to help often don't know how to make a
difference.
Sponsor-A-Cat donations of $15 a month help pay
for the care of sponsored cats who are awaiting
adoption. Sponsors receive regular updates on the
cat or kitten selected and recognition at the
shelter and out our outreach events.

DONATION OF ITEMS
The Shelter Wish List
- Many generously support C.A.T. by donating
supplies to C.A.T.'s shelter. These generous
contributions of essential items have enabled us
to save a considerable amount of money. We do ask
anyone wanting to bring items, to please contact
the shelter since we have very limited storage
space available. Because donations may be tax
deductible, we will be glad to provide a receipt
for the value of any items donated. We have
requested some name brand items when the quality
has been found to be the best suited to our
needs. (Items in bold are needed most.)

who want can be notified when we have an
emergency shortage. If you'd like to join this
list, just email us at wishlist@topekacat.org.
C.A.T. continues to collect
aluminum cans - The proceeds generated by this
program have enabled us to make some improvements
within the shelter, including the purchase of a
security system. Despite the discontinuation of
the national "Paws to Recycle"
campaign, we encourage supporters to continue can
collections. Thanks to some dedicated volunteers,
C.A.T. continues to receive funds from this
process. Take a moment to remind your family,
friends and coworkers that they, too, could be
contributing cans to cats. A collection container
placed in a good location could generate
significant income. Businesses are an excellent
source of aluminum, and we would be glad to pick
up larger quantities of cans. Small amounts may
be brought directly to C.A.T. Please call the
shelter to make arrangements for larger amounts.
Thanks to those who participate.
Fresh
Step PawPoints - Several of our
supporters have been clipping and sending us the
PawPoints from their Fresh Step Litter packages.
A volunteer kindly tracks them and redeems them
for free cat litter. So if you use this brand of
litter, mail us your PawPoints! The shelter goes
through approximately 300 pounds of litter a
week, so every little bit helps.
