The
Princess Fund is a special medical fund established to help us pay for unusual
medical expenses that go far above the basic needs of shelter animals.
The
fund was initially established to help with the expenses of Princess,
a docile and dainty little black cat who entered the shelter in December
2005
with a mangled leg that had been caught in a leg-hold trap. We reached
out
to the community to help us meet the expenses of surgery to remove her
leg,
and the community reached out to Princess with the funds to give her a
new
chance at life. Princess is now a true princess in her Forever Home, sharing
space with her humans and her two feline siblings, and jumping in and
out
of windows with nary a worry in the world as she watches the world go
by.
We
knew Princess would not be the only animal to arrive at the shelter with
special medical needs, and decided to honor her by keeping her fund alive
to help others. Adoption fees don't cover the basic medical expenses of
our shelter animals, much less the extras, and the only way for us to
meet these needs is through the generosity of the community. Please consider
a donation to the Princess Fund to help our special animals in need.
