🎉 WE DID IT! We Doubled the Difference! 🎉

Because of you, we reached our $2,000 fundraising goal and we’ve received the full $2,000 matching grant from United Spay Alliance! That means $4,000 will go toward TNR efforts for Carbondale’s stray and feral cats.

When we started this fundraiser, we knew reaching $2,000 would take our whole community coming together. And that’s exactly what happened.

To everyone who donated, shared our posts, attended an event, spread the word, or encouraged someone else to get involved: thank you. Every donation, every share, and every bit of support helped carry us across the finish line.

We also want to give a huge thank-you to the incredible artists who came together to organize a silent auction to help raise funds for this opportunity. Their creativity and generosity helped us get even closer to our goal.

This is what community looks like. So many people found different ways to help, and together, you turned $2,000 in donations into $4,000 for our community cats.

We are also incredibly grateful to United Spay Alliance for making this opportunity possible. Their matching grant will make a real difference in the number of cats we can help TNR in Carbondale.

Thank you for believing in what we do. Thank you for helping us Double the Difference. 💙🐾

It’s Tipped Tuesday! 🐱

We’re starting a new (semi-regular) series to show off some of the cats we’ve successfully trapped, neutered & returned!

Taking photos isn’t always easy—these kitties range from “sure, I’ll pose!” to “absolutely not.” But we want to make this series more regular so you can see the cats that are helped through TNR and what your support makes possible.

Some cats have names given to them by their guardians, while others have been named by generous supporters. When a name appears on a photo, that’s why!

Thanks, as always, for helping make this work happen. 🐾

🧩 Puzzle Competition Update 🧩

We need to postpone this Sunday’s Cat-Themed Puzzle Competition and will be working to reschedule it for a future date.

Thank you to everyone who signed up! We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and support for Cats of Carbondale, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this postponement may cause. We can’t wait to host this event on a new date and hope you’ll be able to join us then.

If you already paid your entry fee and completed the registration form, your payment was refunded this evening!

If you submitted payment but did not complete the registration form, please send us a private message (or email [email protected]) so we can issue your refund.
