We want to go steady with you!
As an organization that relies entirely on fundraising and donations, we’re looking for supporters who are ready to commit to a relationship – by becoming a monthly donor.
Monthly donations are an important source of funding for EHS, as it’s predictable and allows us to plan for our expenses.
Our largest cost each month is vet bills as we ensure our animals receive high-quality care so they can be ready to find their forever families.
This includes four senior stray colony cats.
In early November 2024, Coco, George, Nelly, and Shade were rescued by EHS volunteers. These cats had been part of a managed colony of cats that lived in the backyard of a colony caretaker for over a decade, and were entirely dependent on their caretaker for food. However, after their caretaker passed away, they lost their primary food source. Thankfully neighbours stepped in to continue feeding them in the short term, but a long term solution was needed as the property went up for sale, and the cats could no longer remain there.
Upon arrival at EHS, all four cats underwent thorough medical examinations. As seniors who had spent their entire lives outdoors (albeit dependent ), they were found to require significant veterinary care, including surgery to address their dental disease, parasite control, and comprehensive bloodwork to assess their overall health. The cost for their vet care is expected to total approximately $7,300.
Despite their difficult past year, Coco, George, Nelly, and Shade have shown remarkable resilience. Though initially wary, they are slowly learning to trust volunteers, and each day brings small moments of progress. Now safe in EHS’ care, they are receiving the love and attention they deserve, ensuring their golden years are spent in comfort rather than survival.
We are also happy to share that Coco has been adopted as of late January 2025.
