🚨🔥 WE'RE OVER HALFWAY THERE! BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP! 🐾❤️

WOW! Our Sunrise community has been showing up in a BIG way, and we cannot thank you enough! ❤️

Thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, we have officially received JUST OVER HALF of the donations needed to replace our failed furnace!

🎉 WE ARE OVER HALFWAY TO OUR GOAL!

🚨 BUT WE STILL NEED TO RAISE $2,200! 🚨

And with colder temperatures approaching, we need to keep this momentum going!

🐱 WHY DOES THIS MATTER SO MUCH?

This furnace heats one of the most critical areas of our rescue. It's where our newest intakes, fragile kittens, sick cats, and animals requiring extra medical attention are housed while they recover and prepare for adoption.

These are some of the most vulnerable animals in our care, and reliable heat is essential to keeping them safe, comfortable, and healthy.

❤️ HERE'S WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP!

💵 DONATE $5, $10, $20, OR WHATEVER YOU CAN!

It doesn't take one person giving $2,200. It takes a COMMUNITY coming together!

🐾 22 people donating $100

🐾 44 people donating $50

🐾 110 people donating $20

🐾 220 people donating $10

Every single donation gets us closer!

❤️ TO EVERYONE WHO HAS ALREADY DONATED:

THANK YOU! You have already helped us get more than halfway to making sure our most vulnerable animals have the warmth they deserve.

Now we need one more big push!

🔥 JUST $2,200 STANDS BETWEEN US AND OUR GOAL! 🔥

If you've been thinking about donating, NOW is the time! Even the smallest contribution makes a difference.

🐾 They can't ask for help themselves, so we're asking for them.

🚨🐾 SOS! OUR MOST VULNERABLE ANIMALS NEED YOUR HELP! 🐾🚨

One of Sunrise's furnaces has failed, and unfortunately, it cannot be repaired. 💔

This isn't just any furnace. It's the furnace responsible for heating the area where some of our most vulnerable animals are cared for.

When Sunrise purchased and renovated our building, we replaced two of the three furnaces. The third, which was still functioning at the time, was the only one we didn't replace.

Unfortunately, that furnace has now reached the end of its life, and we're facing an unexpected and costly replacement. We need to raise $5k 😭

🐱 WHY THIS FURNACE IS SO IMPORTANT:

The area heated by this furnace is where we house many of the animals who need us the MOST:

🐾 New Intakes – Cats and kittens who have just arrived at Sunrise, often frightened, stressed, and adjusting to their new environment.

🐾 Vulnerable Kittens – Tiny, fragile lives who need a warm, stable environment to grow and thrive.

🐾 Sick & Recovering Cats – Animals receiving medical treatment, recovering from illness, and fighting to get healthy.

🐾 Our Most Needy Residents – Cats requiring extra attention, monitoring, and specialized care before they can be cleared for adoption.

These are the animals who can least afford to be without reliable heat. 💔

As a nonprofit rescue, every dollar we raise is already being stretched to cover food, litter, medications, veterinary care, and the daily needs of the animals depending on us.

A furnace replacement was NOT an expense we anticipated, but keeping these animals warm and safe isn't optional.

🔥 WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP US BRING THE HEAT BACK TO SUNRISE! 🔥

❤️ DONATE: $5, $10, $25, $50 — every contribution brings us closer to replacing this furnace!

🔄 SHARE: Even if you can't donate, sharing this fundraiser is an incredibly valuable way to help!

💬 COMMENT: Drop a ❤️ or 🐾 below to help spread the word and show our animals some love!

🏡 TAG A BUSINESS: Do you know an HVAC company, local business, or community organization that might be willing to help with replacement costs, materials, or installation? Please tag them!

We have spent years building a place where the forgotten, abandoned, sick, and vulnerable can finally feel safe. Now we're asking our community to help us keep that promise.

🐾 They depend on Sunrise. Sunrise depends on YOU. ❤️

👇 PLEASE DONATE TO OUR FUNDRAISER AND SHARE THIS POST!

Every dollar, every share, and every act of kindness matters.

Thank you for helping us continue to be a safe haven for the animals who need us most. ❤️🐱

Sunrise Friends, low-key 1.5 year old Roxy would love for you to like and share her video. She’s been waiting for some time, as standard tabbies often do. As you can see, she will start flirting pretty quickly if you make the first move!

Do you all remember our Addie from a couple months back? She came in weighing 1 lb and needed her ruptured eyes removed.

Her fosters adopted her and they came to our yard sale over the weekend and bought the big wheel.

Addie loves it!

Her mom worked with her a few times and now she is becoming a seasoned pro!

Never let an animals "disability" stop you from bringing them into your family. They will surprise you with what they can do!

Sunrise Friends, please like and share LORRAINE!

She is a kind sweet girl who doesn’t holler for attention and so at two years old she’s entirely overlooked. 😿😭.

Adoptions seem to be slow across the area (maybe the whole world) this year and every kitty deserves a chance to be seen.
