How to Show Your Support for Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic

One rewarding way to give back to your community is by helping out a local nonprofit organization. Even if you don’t have a lot of time or money to donate, you can still support a cause you feel passionately about. This holiday season, consider backing our efforts at Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic in Stratford, CT. We provide low-cost spay and neuter surgery for cats and dogs that effectively address the overpopulation problem, but to keep costs down and maintain our high standard of care we need your help. Here are some ideas on how to make a difference and assist us in our commitment to limiting the number of animals that are euthanized each year. 

Reach Out to Those Around You

As they say, it takes a village: Getting a group of people together to accomplish one goal is more successful than the entire project falling onto one person. Ask your fellow office staff, your place of worship or schoolmates to see if they would like to help gather donations for the clinic. If choosing to collect monetary donations only, check to see if your employer provides a matching donation; the Nutmeg Clinic aka FeralCare Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax-deductible.

Put the “fun” in fundraising

Children love to have a project especially when it’s worthwhile, and one of the best ways to teach young ones about caring for others is to introduce them to fundraising. Rather than receiving gifts of toys for themselves, they can ask for donations for animal welfare such as canned pet food, pet dishes, gently used blankets, and toys for pets. Having a child physically bring the donations to the clinic and giving them a tour of the facility will make a huge impact on what they’ve accomplished.

Amazon Check Out Our Wish List 

Everyday items such as dishwashing liquid, permanent markers, even AAA batteries, keep our clinic running smoothly but can be costly because they constantly need to be replenished. Amazon.com’s Wish List is a convenient way for nonprofits to let their supporters know what supplies are needed. Our wish list can be easily accessed by simply clicking on this link. You can order directly from Amazon.com and have your donations mailed directly to us, or you can print out the list and bring it with you on your next shopping trip to pick up frequently used items such as paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, rubbing alcohol and kitty treats. 

If you do order from Amazon.com, you can make any of your purchases go farther by signing in to Amazon.com, then typing in “smile.amazon.com” and choosing FeralCare as your selected charity. Many items you already buy (besides any donations you wish to make to Nutmeg) are considered qualifying purchases, and .5 percent of your amount purchased goes to us as a donation from Amazon! You don’t need to do anything except choose us as your charity.

Supporting a nonprofit is beneficial, and it’s something you can take great satisfaction in doing. At Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic, our compassionate staff is devoted to saving the lives of as many cats and dogs as possible. You can help us continue to help our furry friends with your next Amazon purchase. Call (203) 690-1550 or visit us online.
