Hope For Cats, Inc.

Hope For Cats, Inc. HFC is a nonprofit 501c3, volunteer-run organization which runs Jake's Place, a cat shelter serving the the Buffalo, NY and it's surrounding suburbs.

Our mission is to rescue, shelter & socialize cats in a home-like environment until they can be adopted. We receive no federal or state fund for support and are solely dependent upon fundraising events, adoption fees, foundation grants and private donations to support Jake's Place, a limited-admission, no-kill, cage-free cat shelter and adoption center. Each cat remains in our care, either at Ja

ke's Place or in a foster home until being placed into their forever home. All of our cats are spayed or neutered and receive their necessary vaccines. Every cat is given a thorough check-up each day to identify any potential health problems. Jake's Place has a daily schedule of feeders, cleaners, and health checkers who see to the needs of the cats and keep them clean, healthy and happy in a loving, home-like environment. Our goal is to find a loving home for every cat we rescue.

Good Morning HFC Fans,

šŸ¾ā¤ļø

As Give 716 comes to a close, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

We are truly humbled and deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support for our rescue and the cats who depend on us.

Every dollar represents someone who believes that every cat deserves safety, medical care, a full belly, and the chance to find a loving forever home. Your kindness gives scared kittens hope, provides lifesaving veterinary care, and helps us say ā€œyesā€ when another cat needs us most.

To the Buffalo Bills Foundation, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation, and every person who donated, shared our posts, encouraged others, or cheered us on—thank you. You didn’t just support a fundraiser; you changed lives.

Our cats may never know your names, but they will know the comfort of a warm bed, the relief of healing, and the joy of being loved because of you.

From all of us at Hope For Cats, and from every whisker, purr, and grateful heart…thank you for believing in our mission. We couldn’t do this without you. ā¤ļøšŸ˜»

Every face has a story. Some were abandoned, some were born outside, and some came to us sick or injured. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, each one has been given a second chance.

Please consider supporting our mission to rescue, nurture, and find loving forever homes for cats and kittens by donating through Give 716.

Hope for Cats Inc. is a 100% all-volunteer organization, so every dollar you donate goes directly toward the care of our cats and kittens.

Give 716, Western New York’s biggest day of giving, hosted by the Buffalo Bills Foundation and Buffalo Sabres Foundation, kicks off today at 7:16 p.m. and runs through Thursday, July 16, at 11:59 p.m.

As an added bonus, everyone who donates $50 or more from 8 pm to 11:59 pm on July 16 will be eligible for a Golden Ticket drawing, with opportunities to win one-of-a-kind Bills and Sabres experiences, including game tickets, jerseys, pennants and more!

Be sure to check out the Power Hour schedule for special matching opportunities and incentives that can make your donation go even further.

Since its inception, Give 716 has raised more than $5.8 million for Western New York nonprofits. We are honored to participate alongside so many incredible organizations making a difference in our community.

Every donation—large or small—helps provide food, medical care, shelter, and the love our cats need while they wait for their forever families. Our link for Give 716 donations is:

Join us for the Give 716 fundraiser, proudly organized and sponsored by the Buffalo Bills and Sabres July 15 & 16!

Hope for Cats is an all-volunteer rescue, which means every dollar you donate goes directly toward helping cats in need.

šŸ’™ Meet Grady, a 2-year-old cat surrendered after his caregiver was evicted. During his first veterinary visit, a heart murmur was detected. A follow-up echocardiogram revealed an extremely rare congenital defect affecting the right side of his heart. Thanks to the care he received, Grady is doing well today with four daily medications that support his cardiac function.

🐾 Then there’s Possum, one of five kittens rescued with her mom from Niagara Falls. The entire family has been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and given the care they needed to thrive. Today, Possum is happily settled into her forever home—alongside another Hope for Cats alumnus who was adopted with her!

Your generosity makes stories like these possible. Please support Hope for Cats during Give 716 and help us continue providing lifesaving medical care, shelter, and loving homes for cats who need us most.

Every gift matters. Every cat counts. Thank you for believing in our mission.
