Pet Food Money Bank
PLEASE HELP US FEED OUR CATS AND DOGS!
Goal: $250,000 Pesos/ $15,500 USD
The S.P.A., San Miguel’s oldest no-kill shelter for cats and dogs, provides shelter, care (vaccinations, sterilization, veterinary and medical), and food for ALL our resident and foster cats and dogs. This is what we do until they become family companions—no matter how long it takes or even if it never happens. Our Pet Food Money Bank fundraiser focuses on one of these responsibilities – food. It is our only major fundraiser of the year. This year, we need to raise $250,000 pesos / $15,500 USD, 100% of which will be applied to our annual cost of food. Our budget requirement of 250,000 pesos has been pretty constant over the years. But the lower peso exchange rate has made it necessary to increase the USD equivalent.
​
Dogs and cats are always on our waiting lists, ready to fill vacancies created by adoptions. We continue to help reduce the stray and homeless animal population in San Miguel de Allende, but our efforts are thwarted by the number of animals that need help, the slow adoption rate, and our space restrictions. In addition, many rescuers are offering cats and dogs for adoption, much more than in the past. Unlike the S.P.A., not all conduct comprehensive interviews or ensure that their animals are vaccinated and sterilizing.
​
​
Whenever our cats and dogs become a part of families, we take in more animals. Some new arrivals are so malnourished at the beginning that we must give them special supplemental food until they become stronger. Several of our dogs have dietary needs that require more expensive food than our usual food.
In existence since 1980, the S.P.A. relies solely on financial donations to survive. We do not receive any government support. We economize, but need help covering this expense. That’s why we are, once again, turning to you.
​
Our goal is $250,000 pesos or $15,500 USD,
100% of which will be applied to the annual cost of feeding our family-pets-to-be.
