Domino's Cat Rescue League is organizing a GoFundMe fundraiser.
(Please note that all contributions are tax deductible)
You can make a difference by helping to save Domino's Cat Rescue.
A no-cage, no-kill 501(c)(3) shelter founded by Rita Maris Sine more than 20 years ago, Domino's has been a premier no-kill feline rescue adoption center and facilitator of spay/neutering in the local area in order to reduce feline overpopulation and homelessness.
Domino's mission always remained the same: to compassionately shelter, spay/neuter, and offer for adoption all cats and kittens rescued by or surrendered to us, and to provide a safe no-cage, no-kill haven for those difficult to adopt out due to medical issues, age, etc.
That mission is now in peril.
Over the past 3 years, Maris has known her share of heartbreak and struggles. She lost the love of her life, her husband of over 60 years and co-founder of Domino's. She has battled cancer and is in remission but still in treatment. She has broken her hip, fractured her spine, and suffered 2 strokes. But she has never quit, never given up. With her family at her side willing to work towards a future for Domino's, her priority still remains the same:
The cats come first!
Due to the financial climate and departure of sponsors, Domino's is facing closure.
Our 62 cats are facing homelessness.
The colony we care for is facing starvation.
Our small staff of 5 is facing unemployment.
We have food to last us for another month.
We have litter to last us for the same.
But the money will have run out by mid-January.
We will face the heartbreak that closure will bring.
The heartbreak of our 62 cats who will face an uncertain future.
Of our small but dedicated staff of 5 who will lose their jobs.
Of our founder, Rita Maris Sine, who has dedicated more than 20 years to Domino's. Of all in the local community who look to Domino's for help and those who come to volunteer a few hours to visit with the cats.
Domino's Cat Rescue needs your help and we need it now.
Donations of food and litter are always welcome, but we need the funds to literally keep the lights on, pay the power bill, pay the medical bills, the taxes, the waste collection, pest control, and last but absolutely not least, to pay the wages of our people.
We know that times are hard for everyone, especially now during the holiday period... But please...
Please help us save Domino's and allow us to continue to provide for our cats.

O my! My heart is aching! I adopted my cats there 12 yrs ago and was one of the greatest things in my life! I still have them to this day and so grateful they're healthy n happy! I used to come up every weekend before they could come home with me and I loved playing with all the kitties. I also just loved Maris and her husband! My heart is just broken and if I had a million dollars I would give every last penny to help! I will do my best to help! Give Maris, all the cats and staff all my love!! God bless and I am praying so hard for the help needed
