Update 6/26:
We have raised over $55,000 towards continuing our mission! Thank you so much for donating and sharing our cause. We still need your help! Monthly donations are vital for maintaining our open status through the end of next year. Right now, we have enough money to help us cover our basic expenses for 12-14 months, barring any surprise medical bills. If you're new here and you want to help us, please consider heading to our Monthly Donor page: https://donorbox.org/become-a-monthly-donor-to-keep-treetops-going
You are welcome to submit one-time donations there and here on this page.
Thank you for the support! We literally would not be here without you!
Update on fundraising 6/19/24:
We are absolutely floored by the response to our plea for help! THANK YOU so much for helping us continue our mission. Please keep donating to secure us a longer future.
Treetops Kitty Cafe has been a staple in the Kennett Square community for 7 years. We have saved over 850 cats from overcrowded and high-euthanasia shelters. We take cats who are scared and alone and we bring them into our care so they can be adopted. We rehabilitate cats who have been surrendered due to behavioral quirks, litter box inconsistencies, or those whose owners have recently passed. We rescue and care for the older cats that no one wants to adopt. Our mission saves hundreds of cats who fall through the cracks in a traditional shelter environment. Our work is incredibly important, but it is hard and expensive work.
Treetops Kitty Cafe is a labor of love. We're not doing any of this for money; we do this because no one else is. Our mission is unique and desperately needed. The problem is that there never seems to be enough money to keep us going.
We are desperately seeking large donations to help us remain open. The rising costs of everything have been challenging for us. We're in a tough spot and we need your help. Without the proper funds, Treetops will not be able to remain open. We have 16 cats in our care right now who need you!
We pay rent, utilities, payroll, insurance fees, subscription costs, and cat care bills (including vetting, cleaning supplies, food, and more). Right now, we're overwhelmed. Our previous fundraising efforts have gone toward paying bills instead of building a better future, which is so hard when we want to do so much more. The small size of our operation makes us ineligible for grants. We need to double our adoptions to qualify for even the smallest grants available, but we don't have the space or overhead to do so. We see Treetops growing and clearly envision the future, but we need your help to achieve it.
Small donations are always welcomed and accepted. We urge you to reach out to anyone you know who might have the means to become a regular donor of large amounts ($1,000+ per year).
We can't do it alone. Without immediate support from generous donors like you, we may be forced to close our doors. The thought of discontinuing our services and leaving these innocent creatures without a refuge is unbearable.
We are not hosting a Facebook or Instagram fundraiser because we need immediate funds and Meta takes months to pay out. Please donate via our website, Venmo, PayPal/Zelle, or by check.
