Naughty's Story
Naughty was a stray that got himself into quite a mess. He came to SCRAM with a deep wound under his leg (origin unknown). He was on the brink of starvation and weighed less than four pounds. The wound was deeply infected to the point that we could smell it! Our vets at SCRAM stepped up to the plate and performed surgery on Naughty to close his wound. Thanks to the vet's discount and YOUR DONATIONS, we were able to afford the bill for this surgery that otherwise would have cost Naughty his life. The infection was successfully treated and Naughty is thriving in his
forever home.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has hit us hard, emotionally and economically and sadly, it has drastically affected our ability to rescue and rehabilitate the most vulnerable of our community – our precious animals. Stray Cats Rescue Associates of MN (SCRAM) has devoted years of hard work and personal funds to save these forgotten felines and give them a life full of love and free of pain and suffering.
Cats have feelings. Cats feel afraid, abandoned, and confused. They feel pain. They feel hunger. And they feel hopelessness, without understanding why they have been forgotten and left to suffer in the heat of the summer, the freezing cold of the winter, and the absence of human contact and love. Over the years, our rescue has saved and rehomed countless cats and kittens. We have given them the gift of health, nourishment and most of all, love and safety. Our volunteers have made many sacrifices to better the lives of both the animals we save, while enriching the lives and homes of the compassionate people who have opened their hearts and homes to these innocent souls that would otherwise be left to die on the streets – or worse.
NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!
Rest assured every dollar helps! Your donation will never “line the pockets” of a third-party fund solicitor or CEO. Did you know that a charity only needs to contribute a small amount of its revenue to the cause they are representing in order to qualify as a 503(c)(3) non-profit? Third-party fundraisers keep a whopping 35% of donations raised through their efforts. This does not include any salaries paid to CEO’s, staff, etc. In some instances, as little as 10% of your hard-earned money may benefit the cause you are intending to help. Our volunteers are NEVER financially compensated and 100% of your donations go directly to the kitties!
WE HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR HELP!
We are a small but effective organization thanks to people like you that want to make our community a better place for animals and animal lovers. Our work cannot continue without donations from caring individuals like yourselves. However, there are unavoidable expenses that need to be paid. Your money is used wisely and for its intended purpose. We have partnered with other organizations to obtain the necessary veterinary services, vaccinations, food and supplies at a reduced cost. Unfortunately, economic challenges have reduced these donors’ ability to continue to provide goods and services and we are in danger of losing our organization unless you find it in your heart to help!
YOUR MONEY AT WORK!
