Guardian Angel Sponsorship

Sponsoring an animal was created to allow everyone, even if they can’t adopt or volunteer their time, to help animals find forever homes or help those that may not be able to be adopted, continue to stay in their foster home . There are two ways you can sponsor our critters in need.

 

Provide a guardian angel donation to cover the adoption donation that would normally be charged.  This permits another individual to adopt the pet at no cost. Our current adoption fees are:

$300 for a dog, $60 for a cat & $95 for a kitten, but any donation can be put towards an adoption.

 

Provide an on-going care donation for a particular cat or dog.  This is particularly needed for those pets that have special needs for ongoing veterinary care or who may not be adopted due to behavioral issues or advanced age. We provide "hospice-type" care for many sick cats and dogs and need donations to cover the costs of their medications & veterinary care. Contact us for a list of animals that are receiving special care.

 

To sponsor a pet, email info@castawaycritters.org or call 717-831-5010 and leave a message in mail box #4 and your call will be returned as soon as possible.

Planned Giving

Leave a legacy to the animals you love.Planned gifts ensure that Castaway Critters can continue to save the lives of homeless pets for years to come.

​

Guardian Angels are dedicated friends of Castaway Critters who have committed to leaving a legacy of financial support through a bequest or other planned gift arrangement. Including Castaway Critters in your estate planning will mean shelter, food, veterinary care, medication and loving new homes for homeless animals long after your lifetime. There are many ways that you can make a current or future gift to save homeless kitties.

​​​​

• Retirement Funds– Make a lasting impact on the lives of our animals by considering a gift of your retirement assets from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or pension.

• Wills, Trusts and Estates – A bequest through your will or revocable living trust is an effective and meaningful way to save the lives of many more homeless cats.

• Charitable Gift Annuity – With a charitable gift annuity, you receive tax benefits, a steady income stream, and the satisfaction of a lasting legacy with Castaway Critters.

• In Lieu of Floral Tributes – For those wishing to honor your memory, please consider requesting a donation to Castaway Critters in lieu of flowers.

• IRA Distribution – If you are 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to make tax-free charitable donations from a taxable IRA instead of taking required minimum distributions. And, it is not included in your taxable income.

• Life Insurance – Designate Castaway Critters as your primary or contingent beneficiary on your life insurance policy.
