Volunteers at Furry Friends Cat Rescue, in Vancouver, are asking the community to come together to give hope, healing, and second chances to the cats who need us most
As the holiday season begins, so does one of the most powerful days of generosity around the world: Giving Tuesday. On Dec. 2, people everywhere will unite to make a difference for causes that matter. Volunteers at Furry Friends Cat Rescue, in Vancouver, are asking the community to come together to give hope, healing, and second chances to the cats who need us most.
Every day, Furry Friends steps in where others can’t — rescuing abandoned, sick, and injured cats from the streets of Clark County and beyond. Many arrive frightened, hungry, and in need of urgent medical care. Through the compassion of volunteers, foster homes, and supporters, Furry Friends provides safety, veterinary care, love, and the chance to find forever homes.
This Giving Tuesday, your gift goes directly toward saving lives:
• $25 can feed a colony of feral cats for a week.
• $50 helps vaccinate and microchip a cat ready for adoption.
• $100 supports critical spay/neuter surgeries that prevent future suffering.
• $250 can fund emergency medical treatment for cats like Sinatra or Plum—once-forgotten cats now thriving because of community generosity.
Furry Friends is a nonprofit rescue that relies entirely on donations. Every dollar you give helps continue the mission to end the suffering of stray and feral cats through rescue, rehabilitation, spay/neuter, and education. With the upcoming Furry Friends Medical Building on the horizon, your support will also help to expand their ability to treat more cats in need right here in our community.
This Giving Tuesday, let’s show the cats of Southwest Washington that they are not forgotten. Together, we can give them comfort, health, and a chance at the loving life they deserve.
