URGENT REQUEST

2012 Spay A Stray Campaign

Last year, in 2011 thousands of cats were euthanized in the New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick County areas because they could not find a home.

Adopt-An-ANGEL's goal is to spend $17,500 spaying as many female cats as possible. Why? To prevent the births of hundreds of unwanted kittens this summer that will flood these already overcrowded animal controls.

That's what we spent in 2011 and we believe that spaying/neutering is the other half of the answer to animal homelessness.

We must REDUCE THE SUPPLY through spaying and neutering while WE INCREASE DEMAND through aggressive adoptions.

Each Spay/Rabies shot costs the organization $65. For every $65 that comes in we will put out another voucher. Each spay will PREVENT the birth of another 4-6 homeless kittens. Adopt an ANGEL has kicked in the first $5,000 to SPAY as many cats as we can! Won't you help us FIX MORE for an even greater impact? Where There's a Will, There's A Spay! It's very simple! Won't you help us? PLEASE DONATE BELOW!

Guidelines for Vouchers:

1. You must be a resident of New Hanover, Brunswick or Pender County--proof will be required to receive any vouchers.

2. Vouchers are good only at Cape Fear Spay Neuter Clinic in Castle Hayne.

3. This is only open to female cats--limit 1 per family.

4. Cats can be personal pets, loosely owned or strays. (Cats must be friendly--it is not open to feral cats at this time).

5. Adopt-An-ANGEL will only pay for a spay and a rabies shot and will not pay for any complications that may occur during surgery.

6. Vouchers are distributed on a first come first serve basis at Pet Supermarket on Oleander Dr. beginning 01/15/12

Please Help Peaches!

Peaches has been diagnosed with chondrodysplasia: a genetic deformation disorder. In just 4-6 weeks her legs have gone from what you see on the left to what you see on the right while she was growing and this is AFTER an $800 orthopedic surgery to correct it. She will need another $1200 surgery in 4-6 months when she completes her final growth spurt. Please donate to help us help her.

Adopt an ANGEL is a 501c3 charitable organization based in New Hanover County, North Carolina. We were founded in January of 2004 by compassionate volunteers who wanted to increase adoptions at New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender County Animal Controls. We partner with these area shelters, to concentrate on the cats and dogs that have run out of time or have special needs. We move them to a safe haven with private citizens, strive to provide them with any veterinary or behavioral care they need, and then we find them loving homes. Since 2004, over 5000 of these previously unwanted animals found their forever homes through our safety net. When one of ours gets adopted, we go and get another. It's as simple as that! All active volunteers receive no monetary compensation for their work. They graciously donate their time, talents and finances to this worthwhile cause.

Our mission is simple: To reduce the numbers of animals euthanized in Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender Animal Controls. And we do it through: foster homes, aggressive spaying and neutering, marathon adoption events, and partnering with vet hospitals, boarding facilities and pet stores.
