Valerie Hirsch's Fundraiser
My Appeal
I am participating in a virtual walk to help raise funds for the cat shelter that I rescued my sweet baby girl from. She is no longer with me, but I know that she would want me to help out all of her cat friends. This no kill shelter is fantastic and any help you could give me to help them would be amazing! I know that times are hard right now, but if you can spare a few $$...it would be very much appreciated!!!

My Cause
The Mission: As a no kill cat shelter, our mission is to promote the humane and ethical treatment of abandoned, unwanted, and abused cats through active implementation of the mission and community education. Our specific focus is on promoting the health, rehabilitation and placement of cats into forever loving homes and providing educational outreach within our community.
About the Organization: Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter is the oldest no kill in the city of Milwaukee. Happy Endings is run solely by volunteers and funded only by donations, fundraisers, adoption fees and merchandise sales. The shelter typically houses 60+ adult cats and countless kittens in only 800 sq ft. About 200 cats are re-homed annually. At least 90% of the cats who come to our shelter have never been to a vet. This means they are not spayed or neutered or up to date on their vaccinations. This lack of vet care places a large burden on us financially. Over $70,000 is spent annually on medical costs alone.

Walking in memory of your best friend is a great idea! And maybe you will just find your new best friend on that walk.
