Funding

T&D’s Cats of the World is NOT funded by any business or organization or by any local, state, or federal government.

T&D’s Cats of the World is supported by the Mattive family and by contributions from concerned people such as yourself. 100% of your donation goes directly to animal care! How is this possible?  T&D’s has no paid employees, just a few volunteers.  In fact, even the owners do not receive salaries.

These animals belong to everyone. We are just fortunate enough to be able to care for them, but we can not do it alone. The animals need “friends” like you to help us save more animals from abusive situations and give them the best life possible.


BECOME INVOLVED!

HELP THE ANIMALS – FRIENDS OF THE ANIMALS

Donations of any amount are always needed for care, maintenance, and new enclosures. For a $30.00 donation you can become a “Friend of the Animals“.  You will receive a year of T&D’s Cat Chat, our free newsletter to keep you up to date on the animals. You will also receive recognition in the newsletter and in our “Friend of the Animals” book at the refuge. For every $50.00 donation, you will become a “Friend of the Animals” and receive 1 free pass to visit the animals during regular hours.
This is a great gift idea or memorial for the animal lovers in your life!
