Friends of Cats is the largest no-kill and life-care sanctuary for cats in the greater San Diego area. Currently about half of the cats are adoptable and the remaining cats have a home for life at Friends of Cats due to health conditions or other issues that prevent their being adopted. Friends of Cats relies totally on donor support. The board of directors are all volunteers and the staff is augmented by many volunteers who help keep the cats happy and ready for adoption. Like other rescue organizations, Friends of Cats struggles with making ends meet financially. Currently the expenses of supporting almost 300 cats is putting a strain on available funds. If you care about cats, this is the sanctuary that is worthy of your support. Visit the website: www.friendsofcats.org and become a friend of Friends of Cats.

The Oasis Sanctuary in Benson, Arizona is the largest life-care sanctuary for parrots in the US. We have been financial supporters of The Oasis Sanctuary since 2008. We have made several visits to the sanctuary and were impressed by the scope of the operation and the dedication of the staff and director. The Oasis Sanctuary, like many similar organizations, is coping with rising costs of animal care combined with uncertainty of donor support. This sanctuary is quite worthy of your financial support. I would encourage anyone who cares about exotic birds to support The Oasis Sanctuary via their website: www.the-oasis.org
