Winter Matching Campaign and Letter From Siglinda
Posted January 28, 2024
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 adoption, volunteering, 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
