CARE has many wonderful animals who desperately need to be Sponsored or Adopted. Your generous monthly donation will help provide food, medical care, housing, love, and more for the Lemurs and Big Cats of CARE. Please consider a gift of life today. Check the Our Cats section to view the status of a Big Cat in need.
Cat Adoptions consist of a monthly donation of $100 or more. Lemur Adoptions are $50 or more a month. Your Adoption benefits are as follows:
• A Framed 8×10 color photo and certificate of adoption of your cat or lemur.
• The opportunity to visit your cat or lemur anytime that CARE is open.
• You will be listed as an Adoptive Parent on your animal’s profile page.
• Plush Big Cat or Lemur.
• Your adoption donation is 100% tax deductible.
Want to make a monthly donation to your favorite animal, but your budget doesn’t allow you to adopt? CARE would like to introduce sponsorship opportunities. This program allows you to pick one of two levels of sponsorship that will help make a difference in the life of any animal you choose.
Sponsorship Benefits Include:
• A framed 5X7 color photo and certificate of sponsorship of your cat or lemur.
• The opportunity to visit your cat or lemur by appointment (4 times a year).
• You will be listed as an Sponsor on your animal’s profile page.
• Your sponsorship donation is 100% tax deductible.
Ideas for Adoptions or Sponsorship…
• Adoption donations are 100% Tax Deductible! So adopt a Big Cat or Lemur as your company mascot/charitable cause and get a little break from Uncle Sam!
• Adopt in Memory of a Loved One.
• Adopt for that special animal lover in your life. It’s the perfect out-of-the-norm gift for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc!
• Make a Big Cat or Lemur an addition to your family. It’s better than Fido because we do all the feeding and pooper-scooping!
