Clear Creek Cat Rescue Receives Rachael Ray Grant
Contributed by Kelleigh Orthmann
Clear Creek Cat Rescue received a Rachael Ray Save Them All grant from national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society. The grant is for a program designed to help families keep their pets when medical or behavioral issues could result in the pet being relinquished.
“Too often a family is put in the situation of letting go of a beloved pet because they can’t afford medical care, or maybe the animal has a simple behavior issue that a consultation with one of our experts could help resolve. We will use this $12,500 grant to help keep pets with their families.”
Clear Creek Cat Rescue is an active partner in the Best Friends Network, which offers help and support to shelters, rescue groups, and other animal welfare organizations working to save lives in their communities.
The Rachael Ray Save Them All Grants is a grant program, administered by Best Friends and funded by The Rachael Ray Foundation™, that provides grants to shelters for euthanasia reduction initiatives. The Rachael Ray Foundation helps animals in need and is funded by a portion of proceeds from each sale of Rachael's pet food, Nutrish®.
Clear Creek Cat Rescue is a nonprofit organization that is comprised of volunteers in Southcentral Alaska from Houston to Homer dedicated to rescuing cats in need, giving them care, rehabilitation if needed, and finding happy homes for them. Since its founding 15 years ago, Clear Creek Cat Rescue has rescued more than 6,000 cats and kittens.
