Celebrating Support: The Heart and Soul Behind Whiskers and Tails

At Whiskers and Tails, our mission goes beyond providing food and supplies—it’s about transforming lives. Over the past year, we’ve seen firsthand the incredible difference that support from our donors, and nonprofit partners can make. From helping a senior keep their cherished companion animal healthy to assisting a displaced homemaker in finding a stable job, our impact is profound and far-reaching.

Stories of Hope

One such story is that of Lucille, a senior who faced the heartbreaking choice of sacrificing her own medical needs to ensure her beloved cat, Meeum, received the care she needed. Thanks to the support of our donors, Lucille and Meeum are thriving. The ending to their story could have been very different if it had not been for our caring donors.

The Power of Partnerships

Our partnerships with businesses that have employee volunteer programs have been a cornerstone of our success. These collaborations not only provide essential resources but also foster a sense of community and shared purpose. We are hoping to add more employee volunteer programs in the coming year

Meeting Unmet Needs

Despite these successes, there is still a long list of needs that have yet to be met. From financial assistance for veterinary care to basic necessities like food and clothing, the demand is greater than ever. We rely on the generosity of our supporters to continue our mission and reach even more families in need.

Join Us in Making a Difference

As we look to the future, we invite you to join us in making a lasting difference. Whether through volunteering, donating, or partnering with us, your support can change lives. Together, we can ensure that no one has to choose between the welfare of their companion animal and their basic needs.


Please take a look at our list of needs. If you can help in any way - please let us know.

Shirley had no money for the vet when

her cat got sick. The vet told her to just put

the cat down if she couldn't afford to pay

for his care. 

MowZer was the only family she had. She

would have been devastated and 

we all know what an emotional toll that is

for an elderly woman. 

Shirley would have gone into a deep 

depression if she would have lost MowZer.

We came in and paid the vet bill with 

donations that came from you. MowZer is 

still here five years later. Shirley is doing

well and she is very happy that her 

little one is still with her.
