What we need and how you can help

 

What we always need on a year-round basis is the following:

 

• Daily food for the Kennedy Park cats, which requires up to 20 kilos of dry food a day, not including the cats with gingivitis that only eat wet food. An 8 kilos bag of dry cat food costs between S/. 60 and S/. 80 (Peruvian Nuevos Soles), which is about 20 to 27 US$.

• Covering veterinary costs, which include our permanent spaying and neutering program, emergency care and surgeries. Spaying and neutering costs about S/. 40 (10 US$) per cat.

• Medical supplies: vitamins (Felovite II costs S/.40), eye medicine (Tobramax costs around S/.65), shots against the flu (Clamoxil costs S/. 100), deworming medicine (Drontal costs S./ 24 for two units), flea spray, rabbies and triple vaccines, etc.

• Storage rent for the adoption booth.

• Taxi fares to get the cats to and from the vet, foster home or adoptive family, and to the Huachipa refuge.

• Rental cost of a truck to safeguard the domestic cats during end of year festivities and the Wong parade (in July).

 

We rely on the generosity of donors, passerby and vets who practice social rates, but due to the ever growing number of cats, this is not enough anymore. While we are looking for permanent sponsors, any donation you can make helps. We will send proofs of expense, financial reports, photos and videos upon request. Furthermore, if you happen to live in or visit Lima, we will be happy to take you around the park to observe the cats.  The idea is to create trust between our group and our donors. Remember that the entirety of the funds collected goes to cat care since our work is entirely voluntary.
