It’s nice to see Nova’s artwork will be enjoyed by supporters all over the country!
November 17th: November 17 ONLY, no matter the size of your donation, generous supporters have stepped up to inspire you to give a little bit more by tripling whatever you donate – up to an additional $45,000!
For those who’ve already given, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ You helped us reach our triple match by unlocking our $70,000 double match which is amazing!!!
Why give? Because giving helps us save lives – and that feels pretty darn good, doesn’t it?
Your gift now through November 17th will go even further when generous donors match it up to $70,000 – WOW! That means your gift will be doubled – $10 becomes $20, $50 becomes $100.
Your gift will help newly rescued tiger cub Nova. She came to us as part of our Tiger Amnesty Program. This program allows owners or authorities to surrender a wild cat without their background or circumstances being made public.
This encourages those who’ve made a mistake acquiring a wild cat, or authorities who have possession of one, to place with us so the cat can enjoy sanctuary life. It also ensures the safety of the cats, especially when the seizure of the cat is due to unrelated felony charges or raids.
Growing up wild at heart. Nova is now safe at sanctuary and will only know compassion. But it will cost $10,000 a year to care for her. That’s over $200,000 a lifetime! Your gift TODAY helps us ensure her future is one she can look forward to.
INCENTIVES FOR YOU!
