December Donation Days

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we rely heavily on tax deductible donations from generous supporters, like you. Every dollar donated is integral to our mission. Our goal of helping as many horses and cats as possible is a big task. We can’t save them alone. That’s where you come in.

When you donate in December, your monetary contribution will go directly toward veterinary and rehabilitation costs for our rescue horses and cats.

We rescue several off-track thoroughbreds throughout the year and are accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. When horses arrive at our rescue, especially off-track thoroughbreds, companions and those retired from competing, they often require significant veterinary care and rehabilitation (e.g., medication, joint care, X-ray bone scans, chiropractic services).

When cats arrive, they usually need extensive veterinary help, such as respiratory care.

If you have family and friends who would also love to help save the lives of vulnerable horses and cats, please encourage them to donate, too.

Why It's Important to Help

Horses are one of the four most commonly abused, neglected and abandoned animals in the U.S.. There are over 200,000 “unwanted” horses per year - not including the thousands of unreported cases of neglect and abuse.

Also, in the U.S., approximately 3.4 million cats are abandoned each year and nearly 40% of those abandoned cats are euthanized.

February Star Sanctuary is dedicated to bettering the lives of horses and cats throughout our region.
