Goathouse $25,000 Winter Matching Campaign Reaches 86%!

 

Wow!! The Winter Matching Campaign has reached 86%!

For a limited time we have a generous donor who is committed to matching all gifts up to $25,000.

Right now, your contribution will go twice as far to support Goathouse Refuge’s mission of offering a place where even non-adoptable cats can roam freely and receive specialized medical attention. Goathouse will only receive the money if we can reach our goal of $25,000, so whether it’s $5 or $500, act now to help us give twice as much unconditional love to our animals!

Help us reach our goal!

Get Your Tickets Now! 2024 NY Cat Film Festival in Durham -Two Days Only!

 

Mark Your Calendar – April 10 & 11, 2024!

2024 NY Cat Film Festival

We are excited to have been chosen by the Carolina Theater in Durham as the rescue partner for the
2024 NY Cat Film Festival Showing!
A portion of every ticket sold will benefit the Goathouse Refuge.

The 6th annual NY Cat Film Festival™ is a collection of short films – animated, documentary, or narrative films with actors and a script. These are not random internet “cat videos” – these are films which have been made with an intention, concept, or story to convey something essential about cats. The films celebrate the kitties who share our world and their relationships with people, no matter where or how they live – as feral cats in a colony, or between the covers in someone’s bed.

It’s two days only, so get your tickets NOW!

Winter Matching Campaign and Letter From Siglinda

Dear Friends,

As the founder of The Goathouse Refuge, I am reaching out to you with a message of hope, compassion, and an urgent need for support. Since 2007, our sanctuary has been a beacon of love and care for cats who have faced abandonment, illness, or challenges that make them less likely to be adopted. We are committed to providing a safe, loving environment for every cat, regardless of their past.

Our mission at The Goathouse Refuge extends to every aspect of feline care, from nurturing kittens to providing specialized attention for older and special-needs cats. We have successfully placed over 3000 cats in loving homes, yet many more rely on us as their permanent sanctuary.

Today, I share with you both a challenge and an opportunity. Due to financial constraints, we have reached a point where it has become difficult to pay our dedicated employees, the very people who ensure the wellbeing of our beloved cats. Their tireless work is the backbone of our sanctuary, and it is crucial that we continue to support them.

 

In response to this challenge, a generous donor has stepped forward with a $25,000 matching gift. This means every dollar you contribute will be doubled, making your impact even greater! Your donation will not only help us meet the immediate needs of our cats but also ensure that our staff receives the compensation they deserve for their invaluable service.

 

This is a pivotal moment for The Goathouse Refuge. As we transition into The Goathouse Sanctuary, focusing on older, semi-feral, and special-needs cats, your support is more critical than ever. This matching gift opportunity allows us to continue our work with renewed strength and hope. I invite you to be part of this vital effort.

Whether through  adoptionvolunteering, or a financial contribution, your involvement can change lives—both feline and human. Together, we can uphold our promise to provide a haven for cats in need and support the compassionate individuals who care for them.

Please consider contributing to our cause. Your donation, which will be matched dollar for dollar, will make a profound difference in sustaining our mission and supporting our dedicated team.

In addition to monetary contributions, another impactful way to support The Goathouse Refuge is by donating cat food and supplies.

Our feline residents require a steady supply of high-quality food, and every donation in this regard helps us maintain the health and happiness of our cats. Whether it’s a bag of dry food, cans of wet food, or other cat-related supplies, your generosity in kind is just as valuable and appreciated.

Thank you for standing with us during this challenging yet hopeful time. With your help, we can continue to create a world where every cat is cherished, respected, and cared for with the dignity they deserve.

With heartfelt thanks and hope,

Siglinda
