GIVE TO WHAT YOU LOVE.
Although animal care and treatment is our largest expense, and many donors give without restriction, there are also those who prefer to designate their donation toward a specific program.
To designate your donation to one of the programs listed here please follow the additional donation options below.
LOVE FUND
The Love Fund helps us cover the costly medical treatment for critical care animals.
To see a beloved pet surrendered during a time of crisis is never easy. The LOVE Fund has been established to provide critical care to animals brought in by Animal Control or who have been surrendered to the shelter.
S.A.V.E. FUND
The S.A.V.E. Fund (Saving Animals with Veterinary Emergencies) supports low-income and unhoused individuals who need help taking care of their pets, both at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter and the Desert Community Animal Center. This will allow the pet and pet owner to stay together, providing needed medical treatments to the pet and thus eliminating a pet surrender.
TNR AND COMMUNITY CATS
The 4,500+ neighborhood cats you see around Palm Springs are often homeless, or sometimes abandoned by their previous owners. Most have had little or no contact with humans and are fearful of people, and therefore cannot be adopted out as pets. You can help manage the homeless cat population by supporting our TNR program. It ends reproduction, stabilizes and reduces feral cat populations, improves cats’ lives, and reduces our annual intake of kittens at our shelter.
CAT COLONY MANAGEMENT
Our work isn’t always complete after TNR. Occasionally, there are situations where it’s unsafe or inhumane to return cats to their neighborhoods without supportive care. Examples include: the sudden passing of a caregiver, the sale of a home where a TNR colony exists, or neighborhoods unsafe for homeless cats. These are complicated situations. We have over 20 volunteers who provide daily food and water for these felines in need. Volunteers monitor colonies, watch for unaltered cats (to provide immediate TNR), and look for injured or sick cats (to provide medical care). Your donation to the TNR Cat Colony Management will assist more than 250 homeless cats currently under management.
