One Life Fund | Shadow Cats

The One Life Fund began in late 2013 with designated donations from supporters around the world. Each year as the Fund grows, more cats are impacted and today the One Life Fund is now an important support system for community cats everywhere. Please consider a designated donation to the One Life Fund today.

Designated funds for this program are limited. Please apply only if you have explored other resources, have made a substantial effort at fundraising yourself and the welfare of the cat is in question. Do not apply before you have explored other options.

All applications are considered in the month they are submitted and MUST be completed by the last day of that month. No exceptions.

Shadow Cats’ One Life Fund assists unowned community cats in a variety of critical situations, as funds are available. Combined with other resources, the cats will have an opportunity to receive care that might have otherwise been unavailable to them. Working together creates a stronger network for animals and saves lives.

All payments will be made directly to a veterinary clinic with rare exceptions. This program is limited to un-owned community cats, cats in shelters, or TNR activities. This program requires acceptance of over the phone credit card payments with receipts reflecting the date and care received for the cat(s). We do not reimburse or fund historical expenses.

If an animal is in need of immediate care, where any delay will put the animal at risk, please seek care for the animal immediately. There is no guarantee that the One Life Fund will be able to assist.

We require that you supply us with basic information and receipts using the forms below. You are also required to write a review of our program and its services after care has been received at Great NonProfits. Failure to complete this review AND notify us it has been completed will affect future requests. Positive reviews encourage donations to continue this program.

Contact Sheila/Jacki, One Life Fund Managers, directly at sheila-jacki@shadowcats.net with any questions.
