The Cat's Familiar could use your help! See their post below for all the details and please consider donating to help them keep doing the good work they do!

Good evening Facebook friends! I am writing today to ask for your help. We now have thirteen kittens and one adult cat in our care, and the costs are increasing very quickly. We need cleaning supplies, wet kitten food, dry kitten food, litter and old towels and/or blankets.
We have been using our own personal money to fund the kitty supplies and we are waiting for our non-profit to be approved. In the meantime, we are in danger of losing our space. We opened in November, which is a hard time to start up a business in Gardiner, and we’re still struggling to pay the bills.
So many of you have reached out and asked how you can help and here’s your chance. If just half of our followers donated $5 each, it would go so far in helping us stay open. They say it takes two years for a business to start “making money”. When we started this venture, we didn’t have any capital to start and we just jumped in with both feet. If I could change things, I would have done some things differently, but hind sight is 20/20 and all we can do is move forward.
So we ask those that can, would you be so kind as to give a small donation to help us stay open? Below is our Venmo link.
We humbly thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we do hope to be able to keep serving our community and helping to socialize and rehome kitties who need us.
I've now put my Venmo tag in the comments. To be sure you don't get scammed.
Bonnie, Todd & Tammy
