Asilomar Reports for Jan & Feb have been posted in the Shelter Statistics tab.
The Retreat’s vet expenses for this year have been $43,929.16! We alway need help with these costs. Donations to Vincent’s First Aid Kit go only for vet expenses.
With the over $900 bill for Garfield’s dental work, the VFAK fund is at ZERO. Please help us rebuilt the fund which only goes for vet bills.
We are focusing on building up Vincent’s First Aid Kit to pay for vet costs. This fund also helps pay for vet bills of kitties going to foster homes. Its current level is ZERO!!
The 2025 Annual Report is posted in "Legal Documents & Other Stuff."
