FUNDS NEEDED TO REBUILD

CAST-A-WAY CATS SUSTAINED FLOOD

For many years, Cast-A-Way Cats (CAWC) has been one of numerous animal rescue charities that Art for Critters (A4C) supports with donations from art sales. Recently, we received a plea for more help than usual as their facility was just stricken with a devastating flood which displaced countless cats.

Rescue workers had been pushed to their limits with an overburdened facility as it was when the flood hit forcing the workers to attempt to house the cats in their own homes and apartments. It's become an enormous undertaking while they await funds to rebuild. Currently, they need $10,000 to rebuild and have requested assistance from A4C to not only spread the word but to make a concerted effort on their behalf. A4C members will rise to the occasion by offering more artwork for sale on eBay that will benefit CAWC directly.

We request that you too, kindly offer whatever financial help you can spare so that they can help save their cats. You can help by either purchasing some of the artwork offered by A4C members or by donating directly to them at Cast-A-Way Cats. We have requested photos of their facility to show the extent of the damage sustained in the flood and will be posting them here, although there may be a delay in receiving these images due to their circumstances but hopefully that won't hinder your willingness to help. On behalf of A4C and CAWC thank you for any support you can provide.

The Happy Act

WHAT'S THE "HAPPY" ACT ?

Families all over the U.S. have been forced to give up their pets because of financial hardship. H.R. 3501, known as the HAPPY Act (Humanity And Pets Partnered through the Years) would help Americans provide their pets with the medical attention and quality of life they deserve by making up to $3,500 of qualifying pet care expenses, including veterinary care costs, tax-deductible. This way, pets get to remain in their loving homes and don't wind up on the streets or in the already overburdened shelter system.

CLICK HERE to email Congress asking them to support the HAPPY Act.
