Sick or Elderly, We Can Not Leave Them Behind

Give for the health and comfort of these special needs cats living out their lives in our rescue.

[They] deserve good food for whatever time [they] have left here on earth [and] a nice bed to rest a tired old body. [They] will be in our care until the time comes to cross the rainbow bridge.

Cole, a special needs kitty, was saved...(read more)

Cole and 4 siblings were born to a person looking to give away free kittens on Nextdoor. We were afraid the kittens would end of in the wrong hands so I rescued the kittens and the Mother too!

I found homes for all of the kittens and Mom except Cole. When Cole turned 8 months old, we noticed he was sleeping more than usual. We then noticed that he was walking differently so we made an appointment at the vet and a blood test confirmed he was FIP positive.

Fip is fatal without an antiviral treatment from China (black market) The drug has an 80% success rate. So we started the treatment and within weeks Cole was running just like before he got sick.

However, he lost control of his bowels & bladder and he is now a special needs kitty.

We are thrilled he survived this deadly illness and don't mind cleaning up an accident or two each day because he is alive!

Keep Up-to-Date with Your Sponsored Cat or Kitty

When you sign-up to sponsor a cat you will be able to view their story and latest pictures.

We also realize that some of you may not be able to adopt one of our cats but would like to be able to help them out. That's why we have the SPONSOR-A-CAT program. You can become a sponsor for just $15 a month. Your donation helps pay for the basic needs of each cat during its stay with us. When you sign-up to sponsor a cat you will be able to view their story and latest pictures. You are also welcome (and encouraged!) to visit us and "your" cat as often as you can. The cats do remember frequent visitors, and enjoy the individual love and attention their sponsors provide.

Your Act of Compassion

Too many abandoned cats and litters of homeless kittens challenge the resources of many Gilroy rescues and shelters. We are no different. Food, shelter and medical costs limit what we can do. Insufficient space means we sometimes are left with no choice but to turn away cats and kittens needing shelter.

Your contribution is an act of compassion with lasting benefits. It contributes to our continued work to foster, adopt and reduce populations of community cats in Gilroy. It saves lives.
