What they do
ST FRANCIS ANIMAL RESCUE of VENICE is A 501(C) LIMITED ADMISSION, FREE ROAMING, NO-KILL CAT RESCUE. ESTABLISHED IN 1994 WE SUPPORT 100+ CATS and KITTENS ON-SITE and 75 IN SHORT and LONG TERM FOSTER CARE. APPROXIMATELY 30-40 CATS ARE AVAILABLE for ADOPTION, WITH THE REMAINDER IN OUR CARE PERMANENTLY or IN LONGTERM CARE. THE SHELTER is FUNDED BY DONATIONS and A THRIFT STORE. WE HAVE A SMALL TEAM of EMPLOYEES to MANAGE, MEDICATE and CLEAN and A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER TEAM of APPROXIMATELY 50 INDIVIDUALS THAT DO WHATEVER is NECESSARY to KEEP OUR SHELTER and THRIFT STORE OPERATIONAL. CATS IN OUR CARE RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT FROM LOCAL VETERINARIANS. FOSTER CARE FAMILIES CARE for KITTENS UNTIL THEY ARE READY for ADOPTION and OTHERS HELP to SOCIALIZE CATS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD BE CONSIDERED ANADOPTABLE. WE CONSIDER OURSELVES A RESCUE and TRY to FOCUS ON HELPING CATS WHO, WITHOUT RESCUE and CARE WOULD NOT BE ADOPTABLE and WOULD LIKELY BE EUTHANIZED. WE ASSIST OUR COMMUNITY WITH EDUCATION ON CAT B

- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
