FRISKY FELINES FOUNDATION

This is an urgent plea

This dog looks happy doesn't she? Looks like a proud mom with pups that are just a few days old. This photo was taking at a South Carolina KILL shelter and because her time was up, they killed her! Now the shelter is left bottle feeding her babies. If this outrages you then please sign the petition and please voice your disbelief over this. Thank You.

We are a home based shelter and we do not have "office" hours. We go by appointment only. If you want to visit with a cat you are interested in please contact us to set up a day or time to see that kitty. We also can bring a kitty or 2 to you for visiting.

Once the shelter is built and is in full time use we will be installing a webcam for the public to be able to watch activities within the playroom. You will be able to see all the cats come and go and you will see the personality of each cat and you will have a better idea of what the cat will be like once you take him or her home.

Our Mission

Frisky Feline Foundation is a not for profit, no kill cat shelter with the passion to help families in need, cats that have no one and to eventually help put an end to senseless euthanasias that go on every day in kill shelters.

We believe every cat has the right to live and has the right to live free of hunger, cold, abuse and loneliness.

We do not believe in animal abuse but we also do not believe in removing cats from homes needing help. Sometimes families need help with food, medical bills, etc. Situations like these do not deem a person an animal abuser (neglect), sometimes a family just needs a helping hand because cats love their people, people love their cats and both should be helped not harmed.

We are a non profit organization registered with the state with a pending 501(c)3 status.
If you want to donate, your donation is a tax deduction for you, however if something happens (and it shouldn't) that I do not get my exempt status then the donations won't be considered tax deductible.
For those of you that are lead to believe that in order to be a legitimate rescue you have to have a 501(c)3, that is not so. As a matter of fact, if you are in rescue and want to lobby for new laws you can violate the laws of a 501(c)3 and can lose it.
In a nutshell a 501(c)3 has only 2 benefits, one for the charity and one for the donor and those are; for the rescue we can ask for grants and such, for the donor, the donations are then tax deductible.

Many small rescues do not need a 501(c)3 because their rescue is funded out of their own pocket. There is alot of paperwork upkeep with having a 501(c)3 as well as the filing fee is very expensive and many rescues need that money for the animals they are taking care of.
The filing fees are as follows:
If your nonprofit's income averages less than $10,000 over a 3 year period, the filing fee is $400. If your nonprofit's income averages more than $10,000 over a 3 year period, the filing fee is $850.

I CHALLENGE YOU!! CAN YOU DO IT?

Frisky Felines Foundation is busting at the seams and we do not want to close our doors. So I have a challenge for all you facebookers! We are trying to get the funds to add a kitty house which is much needed. We are trying to raise the funds by 12/31/11, and it can be in the form of cash, checks, money order, gift cards for Home Depot or Lowes or even the supplies such as wood, drywall, wiring, plumbing, etc. IF on 1/1/12 we have everything ready to go to build I will pull a cat from death row. In ADDITION to this, beginning on 1/1/12 we will pull a cat from death row for every 200 likes we get. This is for the ENTIRE YEAR!!! Just think of the lives you will be able to save by helping to get the funds for the building then sharing our facebook page to get more likes.

So are you up to this challenge? Can you do this? Can you show your support? I am showing my support to you by promising you help me, I will pay it forward and save an additional cat for every 200 likes we get!!!
