Be Kind to Animals Week
May 2025
Happy Spring and Summer to our dearest ARF supporters!
We are reaching out to you hoping you once again can help us keep assisting homeless cats and dogs find their forever homes.
Last year, we shared the Bad News that our donations and other income continue to drop while our costs have risen significantly. It is true that overall inflation continues to send the cost of veterinary care, medical supplies, rent and utilities higher and higher. Fortunately, last year a benefactor agreed to match donations of $500 or more and many of you stepped up to meet that challenge. We didn't meet our full goal and still have a deficit, but are better off than before. Thank you so much!
This year, we hope to eliminate the deficit entirely and to begin rebuilding our reserves. Our benefactor will match all donations over $500 again this year (up to $33,000), which will get us close to that goal.
Won't you help? Better yet, do you know Friends, Family, Business Associates or anyone else who may be in a position to help? ARF can even contact them directly if you'd like.
Donations can be made by check sent to Animal Rescue Force, Inc., P.O. Box 418, East Brunswick, NJ 08816; or, you can use a credit card by going to our website, www.animalrescueforceinc.com and clicking on the GiveDirect link; or you can use PayPal by using the email arforce3@aol.com.
Thanks in advance for your continuing kindness toward animals!
Sincerely,
Susan Ragland
President

Cat of the week!
Meet Dixie
Dixie is a very sweet girl who was adopted from us along with her brother Simon when she was a kitten. Unfortunately, her adopter is very ill and in the hospital and once she leaves will not be returning home. Her family all live out of state so now Dixie is once again looking for a forever home. She is now 4 years old. She is very sweet and gets along with other cats. She is already spayed and littertrained. To adopt Dixie is $110.00 which includes her vaccinations, combo test for FIV/FeLV, microchip and collar.
This cat will be at our Sayreville adoption center adjoined to Sayrebrook Veterinary Hospital 1400 Main St. (GPS 989 Main St.) Sayreville, NJ 08872 by request on Saturday and Sunday 11am. to 3pm.
