Goathouse Refuge Fall $20,000 Matching Gift Campaign

Posted September 27, 2021

A wonderful supporter of the Goathouse heard about all the kittens we were able to save this kitten season who are now big enough to get spayed and neutered. They know what a big cost that is for the refuge, and also the unexpected expense of buying a new generator, and they offered to do a matching campaign up to $20,000. Help us reach the goal before the October 30th deadline by donating today by clicking on the donate button below. We appreciate your generosity and any gift from $5 to $1,000 will help us tremendously to carry on our mission to care for cats that may have nowhere else to go.

Be A Cat Angel!

Posted September 21, 2021

The Goathouse Refuge is dedicated to providing cage-free care for cats regardless of age, medical issues or disposition. Because we feel that every cat deserves a happy and safe life, we have several long-time residents that are feral or semi-feral and will never be able to be adopted. We also have some senior kitties and a few special needs kitties that have unfortunately never found their forever family.

Many of you have been touched by these kitties and have asked how you could help them. So, today the Goathouse Refuge is very excited to announce that we are starting a new program for these kitties where YOU can help and be a Cat Angel each month for one of these specific cats of your choice. For a tax-deductible donation in your name or that of a loved one, you can be a Cat Angel to one of our special needs or feral cats.

Would you be a Cat Angel to one of these wonderful kitties and help provide monthly support to cover the costs of their food, litter, care, and medicines?

Kevin

Here is just one example of an amazing kitty who could use an angel:

Kevin is a sweet orange and white boy in need of a very special family to open their heart and home to provide him with the care he needs. Kevin was born with a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), a condition affecting the part of the brain responsible for purposeful movement and coordination. Kevin is super-sweet and loving; he loves cuddling with people and showing them affection with lots of kitty kisses and purrs. Because his CH is severe, Kevin has limited mobility and needs help getting in and out of the litter box and cleaning up a bit afterwards. Someone that works from home or is retired and able to offer him around the clock assistance would be an ideal fit for this sweet & handsome guy.
Approx. DOB: 10/1/2016

Due to advanced age, health, physical or temperament issues, the chance of adoption for these cats is considerably lower than our other cats and many of them will likely be lifelong residents at the Goathouse Refuge.

For a tax-deductible donation in your name or that of a loved one, you can be a Cat Angel to one of our special needs or feral cats.

Please Help With Pinnochio and Julio

Posted August 14, 2021

Help needed for Pinnochio and Julio!

The Refuge is a place where no cat will be refused due to age, illness or disposition. Even cats that are “unadoptable” can live in comfort, with the care, attention and love they deserve. The sanctuary also accepts FIV+ cats and is devoted to their care like any of the other residents and no cat will be euthanized unless it is suffering and there is no hope of recovery. Our goal is to find every cat their own home but they can live at the refuge their entire life if that goal is not met.

Pinnochio has been undergoing treatment for cancer to give him a good quality of life. His vet bills have understandably added up though. We have set up a Giving Grid fundraiser to help with the bills for Pinnochio and Julio as well. Can you help us?

The Kitties Need a New Generator!

Posted August 13, 2021

The Goathouse Refuge is an amazing place and part of the charm is it’s remote location. Unfortunately, being off the beaten path has it’s draw backs. We are on a well for our water so if the power goes out, so does our well pump! We also lose our heat or air conditioning and we have hundreds of cats and kittens that rely on us to provide them with fresh water and a comfortable living space. We received an offer for an awesome Guardian 22 KW Home Back Up Generator! We need to raise the funds to purchase the unit and have it installed. Please help us reach our goal! The price is good until the end of July so please donate ASAP and help our cat refuge stay comfortable when the power goes out! Thank you!
