Golden Oldies is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, Tax ID #81-2831100. Your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.
Monetary donations of any size are appreciated. We are still a young organization and rely heavily on donations from the public to further our mission. Our biggest anticipated expense is medical care for the cats we rescue. Your dollars will be used for much-needed medical care for our kitties, supplies, and other program expenses. And sometimes we need to reduce fees for financially strapped guardians who are surrendering their cat, so donations help fill the gap when we are not collecting the entire fee.
In addition to monetary donations, we also accept:
- Food. We prefer a high-quality protein wet food for our older kitties to keep them healthy.
- Cat litter.
- Treats. These are good to help ease the stress of a new move, especially Greenies, Temptations, Friskies Party Mix, Cat Sushi and freeze-dried chicken or salmon.
- New or like-new toys. Catnip toys, wand toys, feather toys … you name it, our fosters will appreciate them.
- New or like-new beds and blankets. Hide-a-beds are nice for stressed out foster cats. Warm and snuggly round beds are always great. Small and medium sized soft blankets are good for foster cats to snuggle into.
- Food and water bowls and plates
- New litter boxes and scoops
- New or like-new tall cat trees
- New cat scratching pads
- $10 gift cards to Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Peet’s Coffee and Pet Food Express to use as prizes or raffle items
- Gift cards to Amazon or any local pet store so we can buy food and other supplies we need
