Pictures of Cats org Donations

This is the page where you can see the records of the donations made to cats' charities from the money raised from this website. As mentioned on the Home Page this site has been built to make money for the welfare of cats. All the money from this website will be given to charity except for charges in respect of running the site. I am not paying myself a wage of any sort. If I did there would be no money to give away

. This is not because I am expensive, quite the contrary. It is because of the amount of work that it takes to build a website that works.

I am particularly tender to cats in the poorer countries and the smaller charities. I favor smaller charities as I feel that more control can be excercised over the use of the money donated.

That said some of the bigger charities may be more efficient. It is a difficult decision. It is probable that some smaller charities are more in need of funding and that some large charities are very rich. I prefer the struggling charities provided that they are honest (which is difficult to assess).

However, I will give to any charity that makes the lives of cats better. All of the charities listed have websites. If you run a charity and would like to be considered please contact me.

Here is a table of Pictures of cats org donations so far. This is only the beginning. The table will be upated and added to as the months go by.

As starting points I have chosen three very different charites. Here is a bit about each and why I am giving to them.

SoiDog

This charity as the name implies tends to the welfare of dogs. But they also look after cats. So all you cat lovers don't worry. Mind you if you like cats you would normally like all animals.

They are located in Phuket, Thailand. They sterilize Phuket's dogs and cats. They also treat dogs and cats that are suffering and they feed those that are hungry. You couldn't do more. They are just moving to a different premises, which I believe has been forced on them. This is expensive so they are in particular need of funding at present (April 2008).

They have sterilized almost 18,000 dogs and cats since Oct. 2003. I have an image link to their website on the home page. They clearly justify Pictures of cats org donations.

Texas Maine Coon Rescue

I am donating to this charity as it is a charity chosen by Helmi Flick, probably the best cat photographer in the world and a generous contributor to this website. I want to give something back to Helmi. So giving to a cat rescue center chosen by her is one of the best ways. Also I love Maine Coon cats. They are justly one of the most popular cat breeds. This rescue center more than justifies Pictures of cats org donations.

Texas Maine Coon Rescue is located in Joshua, TX 76058 about 20 miles South West of Dallas.

Kitty Appeal

This charity is located in Malta a country I lived in for 2 years when I was a lot younger. They are concerned with the welfare of the countless stray cats of Malta. They provide all the usual needs of stray cats, food, neutering, spaying and medical treatment. The aim is to also keep the feral cat population under control. This is a pressing need in many countries throughout the world and as we caused the problem we have an obligation to fix it. This charity is run by Martha Kane.

The list of charities will change. Some may be added and some deleted, I don't know. Please return to find out.
