Why Donate?
Your donation will be used to support animal welfare projects in Manzanillo.
The first step in reducing animal suffering is to reduce the number of unwanted animals. Through free sterilizations, PATA has positively impacted the numbers of street animals. We still have a long way to go.
With monetary support, we hope to be able to continue to buy supplies and equipment to support the sterilization clinics. It costs us nearly $250 pesos to spay or neuter just one animal. With donations, we are able to buy
- medical supplies such as anesthesia, pain medication, antiseptics, sutures, hypodermics, and needles;
- miscellaneous clinic supplies such as alcohol, peroxide, intraveneous solution and bleach; and
- administrative supplies such as pens, paper, poster board and tape.
In addition to reducing the numbers of unwanted animals, two other programs receive the benefit of donor support: the rescue, treatment and sheltering of abused or homeless animals; and PATA's education projects.
Thanks to the contributions of our donors, we can continue to protect dogs, cats, and other animals in Manzanillo, as well as improve the living conditions for the human members of our community, as well.
