    Does anyone know of any emergency grant for cats that will pay for x-rays and surgeries ?  I have applied for a few without success in the past and the recently the rescue has had several additional emergency intakes.  Injuries include a broken jaw both sides due to trauma from abuse. Her eye we've already removed.  Second intake: By x-rays the vet felt that his injuries were due to being in the engine of a car causing several injuries.  He may have to have amputation.

    Are you a Petfinder Foundation member? You can apply to their emergency grant every month for an emergency like this and you can receive one grant a year.

    I also suggest you sign up with Cuddly and Waggle if you are not already signed up. Cuddly exposes you to new donors and Waggle offers grants and matching opportunities to non-profits

    I will apply for the Petfinder grant.  We did sign up for Cuddly but I've been unable to find contact information.  Would you have someone I could contact?

    Waggle I am aware of.  Thank you for your recommendations.

    When you sign up for Cuddly, they assign you a consultant that you can connect with on Facebook.

    The consultant can help you edit posts and can even post for you. They also can get your fundraisers promo spots to be featured in their newsletter or on social media. 

    Waggle has begun a consultant process for rescues too. They also reach out via Facebook message to start working together. 

    There is also the Guinness Dunn foundation but they are not taking grants right now.

    Good morning,
    I reached out to Cuddly last night to have someone contact me.
    I'll look in to Waggle today.
    Any other recommendations for grants? The rescue is located in Georgia.
    Thank you again for your assistance. My contact info is below if you would like to reach out.
