How does the PAW Society function financially?
The PAW Society could not function without donations. Donations are supplemented by active fundraising (see link here). The Lethbridge PAW Society was founded in southern Alberta and is not affiliated with other groups with similar names.
PAW is a Registered Charity with Revenue Canada (#87186 5721 RR0001).
Veterinary services, food and litter are the top expenses for PAW. Even though an adoption fee is charged for each cat, rescued cats often need more veterinary care than routine spaying, neutering and vaccinating. Food and litter supplies for cats in the system represent a significant expense as well.
Of course, a functioning Society cannot operate without a portion of its revenue going towards such things office supplies, printing and postage - but these kinds of expenses are kept to a bare minimum. We continue to be blessed with generous volunteers who donate their time and talents for products and services we would otherwise have to pay for.
