Sponsorship Programs
Every year we receive hundreds of motherless kittens. They must be kept warm since they are unable to regulate their own temperature and must be bottle-fed, or in some cases, force-fed.
For those little orphaned kittens every hour counts, and we reach out to you for help us in offering all the resources necessary for their survival.
We can count on our extraordinary network of 40 foster families who take care of these kittens every day. In exchange for the constant efforts of these families, Proanima provides them with all the necessary equipment such as food, milk, bottles, heating discs, scales, thermometers, litter, medication and any other support treatment.
Here is what your donations will be used for;
- $10. Donation: Thermometer or Feeding Bottle
- $20. Donation: Scale
- $25. Donation: Heating Mat (we need 15)
- $35. Donation: Heating Disc (we need 10)
- $40. Donation: one can of kitten milk (we need a minimum of 20 cans)
- $60. Donation: one package of bottle heads for feeding bottles.
- $100. Donation: one complete kit for one orphaned kitten
Since the shelter opened, we have noticed an evolution in the clientele we treat at the shelter. Now, senior animals are part of our daily lives and we want to offer them the same opportunity as our young animals.
Senior pets not only live an enormous stress at their olfer age, but often these animals when their environment changes, but often these animals suffer in silence pains of their past.
For their comfort and to allow them to find a family we invest a lot of time and resources into their care.
- Dental care; removing tartar and teeth extraction.
- Removal of masses
- Blood tests to assess the health of organs.
- X-Rays
- Specialized diets
With the help of donations from the public, we can offer more care to our geriatric animals.
To contribute to the reduction of the stray cat population we have a cat sterilization clinic.
Non-sterilized cats reproduce rapidly and contribute to creating several problems within the community: nuisances to the neighbourhood (territorial marking, fights, animals in heat), development of illnesses, undernourishment, unwanted kitten births, abandonments at shelters, etc.
The Capture-Neuter-Release-Maintain (CSRM) program aims to capture colony cats, examine them, vaccinate them and sterilize them. If they are healthy enough, they are then released into their original area and maintained in their habitat with the support of citizen volunteers called “colony guardians”. With the help and support of the shelter, these people provide food and shelter to these cats who can continue to live as before.
The CSRM allows the cats to live within their natural habitat with the benefit of protection and nutritional support.
