Ways To Help Catmandu
Catmandu takes a different approach to helping homeless and at-risk cats. Both the sanctuary and rescue/adoption center are cage-free and geared toward satisfying the cats' mental, physical and emotional needs. We provide an amazing sanctuary for those who are less adoptable, rescue and re-homing for social/friendly cats, a senior foster program for older cats, as well as education and information to cat owners everywhere.
To better serve the cats, potential adopters, visitors, volunteers, staff and the community, Catmandu is expanding the days/hours available for adoptions, tours, consultations and donations. Appointments for tours and adoptions are available Tuesday thru Sunday. Appointments are not required to drop off donations. Donations are gratefully accepted Tuesday thru Sunday from 11 am - 4pm
Every year, hundreds of scared and confused cats and kittens pass through the doors of Catmandu. In 2017, more than 500 felines have been helped by Catmandu. While all their stories are different, the one thing they have in common is that they need help and have nowhere else to go. Most require medical care, vaccinations, and/or spay/neuter. All of them need food, warmth, shelter, and a safe place with loving people to care for them.
Providing for them is not cheap. The average cost to care for a cat or kitten is $60 per month. While that may not seem like a lot, when you have over 100 felines it adds up QUICK.
Catmandu receives no government funding. We rely on donations and community support to make ends meet. Given the unpredictable nature of donations, it is extremely hard to make a budget or make plans for the future.
To help establish a financial foundation that we can count on and grow on, we are asking people to join our community and become a Friend of Catmandu. For as little as $25/year, you can become part of the Catmandu community and know that you are helping to make a difference for the cats and kittens in northern Nevada.
Our philosophy has always been that if everyone does just a little, it will add up to a lot.
