We estimate that approximately $500,000 will be needed to build and open Phase 1 of the sanctuary.

In addition, we need funds to purchase and operate a van to transport cats and kittens from the Peoria area to Springfield to the Animal Protective League spay-neuter clinic starting in October, 2009.

Your tax-deductible donation of any size will help. Please consider making a donation of $10, $20, or $50 today, which will bring us that much closer to the amount needed to start building. Or consider making a donation for those on your gift list. We’ll send an attractive donation card to the recipient.

You can donate via our secure PayPal page or by check (see below):

For just $500, you can become a Purrsonalities Patron and have your name engraved on a plaque displayed at the sanctuary’s entrance.

For a donation of $20,000 or more, you can dedicate the following rooms:

• First donation of $50,000 or more—dedicate the reception area and display a specially designed plaque* there!
• First seven donations of $20,000 or more—dedicate one of the cat community rooms and display a specially designed plaque* outside the room!
• *Some restrictions apply.

Help us to break ground as soon as possible. Join in! Donate now and make a difference that counts!
