Help 44 CATS. ONE HUGE MISSION

For the cats of Clewiston, August 31 was a life-changing day.

Clewiston Friends of Animals held a much-needed TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) event, and thanks to an incredible amount of determination, 44 community cats received lifesaving care.

But getting those 44 cats to the clinic was anything but easy.

The weather was working against the trapping efforts, and then a camera lens broke, making it even harder to document the work. And just when everything was ready for the big day, there was another major setback: the alternator on the mobile veterinary unit that was supposed to come to Clewiston failed.

The team could have given up. Instead, they improvised. They found and loaded three different vehicles with transporters and made the nearly two-hour trip to Port Charlotte with all 44 cats so they could still receive the veterinary care they had worked so hard to arrange. Talk about dedication! ❤️

And it was all worth it. On August 31, these cats received spay/neuter surgery along with additional preventative care, including vaccinations, parasite prevention, ear tipping, and microchipping. The veterinary invoice totals $3,235 for the 44 cats.

Each cat who was spayed or neutered represents fewer unwanted kittens being born into an already overwhelming population. TNVR also gives community cats a chance to remain where they are while helping create healthier, more stable colonies.

44 cats. 44 chances to stop the cycle of endless litters. 44 animals who now have a better chance at a healthier future.

Clewiston Friends of Animals put in the miles, the time, the physical work, and the determination to make this happen. Now they need our help covering the veterinary costs.

Your donation to this Waggle fundraiser will help pay the $3,235 veterinary bill from this lifesaving TNVR event. Every dollar helps Clewiston Friends of Animals continue providing spay/neuter and essential medical care to the community cats who need it most.

And if you can't donate, please share this fundraiser. Sharing helps this small but incredibly dedicated organization reach more people who believe that preventing suffering is just as important as responding to it.

Despite bad weather, broken equipment, a dead alternator, and a nearly four-hour round trip, 44 cats still got the care they needed. That's what determination looks like. Please help Clewiston Friends of Animals finish paying for this incredible day of lifesaving work
