Mandy Mundy, executive director of the Bucks County Foundation, visited Women’s Animal Center to present the grant award to Cathy Malkemes, Women’s Animal Center’s chief executive, and Katie Ottaggio, director of community programs.
“It is a most generous investment in our adoption center to upgrade our cat housing
to benefit the health and well-being of the beautiful feline friends waiting for their forever homes,” Ottaggio said.
Providing nutritious meals, medical and compassionate care to shelter pets, Women’s Animal Center also strives to provide health-supporting housing.
The partnership between Bucks County Foundation and Women’s Animal Center bears deeper involvement and includes the Foundation’s total investment of $60,000 over the past several years in the lifesaving work of America’s First Animal Shelter.
The Foundation has actually contributed to essential surgical and wellness equipment to enrich the lives of animals including an ultrasound machine, fencing for the shelter play yards, cat housing upgrade to improve the habitats for the cats and kittens in the shelter’s cat admissions and holding area, and dental equipment.
“Women’s Animal Center assists thousands of animals and people in need throughout the
county and region each and every year, but receives no federal, state or local funding to do so,” Malkemes said. “We rely upon the generosity of our community to support our work, so to have a funding partner like Bucks County Foundation is truly invaluable to us, and to our animals.”
“Bucks County Foundation is proud and honored to partner with such an essential organization in Bucks County. Providing financial support for critical programs to support animal health and well-being benefits the pets as well as pet owners and the community at large,” Mundy said.
Women’s Animal Center is having to raise $50,000 to support the purchase of brand-new cat housing in the Center’s adoption room which will help enhance health and flexibility results for felines in the organization’s care.
