Sponsor-A-Cat, Adopt, Foster:  Meet Button! 

This #GivingTuesday, Donors can support our clinic

in a truly unique way!

Meet Button!  Button is a sweet, sassy, adult, domestic short hair Tabico (Tabby and Calico markings) spayed female available at our clinic for sponsorship, foster, or adoption!

Button found herself at our clinic after one of our concerned volunteers found her living under a dumpster at a gas station in our Pets for Life focus area.  After a few cans of Fancy Feast and a little convincing, Button happily gave up her unpredictable life on the streets and traded it for a chance at a family of her own! 

Button loves head butts, strutting around like a little lady, watching the Price-Is-Right, sleeping with her paw over her eyes, listening to Billie Holiday, hates tax day, loves spreading awareness about spay/neuter, giving our volunteers lots of kitty hugs, and just plain 'ol looking gorgeous!

Sponsor-A-Cat!  Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic Sponsor-A-Cat program allows donors to support our clinic is a very unique, impactful way.  Your monthly (or annual) tax-deductible donation helps provide food, enrichment, and medical attention to cats waiting to be adopted.  When you Sponsor-A-Cat, you will receive a picture and description of a cat that is presently in our care.  You will also receive a quarterly letter and updated photo, giving you an update on your cat.  Want to send your cat a special toy from chewy.com?  Awesome – we'll send you a video of her enjoying it!  We also welcome and encourage sponsors to come for a visit with their cat.  Your contribution will help us to fulfill a promise we made to our cats long ago – to provide them with optimal health care and unconditional love, just as any "forever home" would!

Sponsor-A-Cat is an excellent program for anyone who loves cats and cannot have any of their own, or makes a beautiful gift for an animal-lover you genuinely care about!  When you sponsor a cat through Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic as a gift, we will notify the recipient of your kindness and send them a picture of their new feline friend!

Adopt!  Only 1 out of 10 cats will find a permanent home… There are simply not enough adoptive homes – each year, approximately 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized because the shelters are at maximum capacity, and pet overpopulation is a growing concern.  The number of animals euthanized would be dramatically reduced if more people adopted pets instead of buying them. Are you looking for a specific breed?  You're in luck – 25% of pets in shelters are purebred, surrendered by their previous families.  When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up shelter space for another animal who desperately needs it.

Foster!  Want to make the world a better place in one easy step?  Take home a foster pet to love and nurture them until they can be placed in a permanent home!  Fostering gives pets who may not thrive in a shelter setting a chance to be healthy and happy, and shows potential adopters what a great personality the animal has in a home setting.  Being a foster family can be such a vital part of a pet's journey, and sometimes mean the difference between a pet finding permanent sanctuary, or not.
