Donate to PAW

Can I make a donation on-line?

YES!  Click on button:

Your on-line donation will be processed through CanadaHelps.org.  That organization will issue your charitable donation tax receipt and send it directly to you.  PAW will receive an electronic transfer of funds. This is the only way PAW can accept a credit card donation and it works very well.

Can I mail a cheque or donate cash directly to PAW?

YES!  A cheque can be sent directly to:

Lethbridge PAW Society

Box 255

Lethbridge, AB

T1J 3Y5 

A charitable donation tax receipt will be issued by the Lethbridge PAW Society.  Be sure to provide the name you want on the tax receipt and your mailing address.

For gifts-in-kind, please submit your till receipt along with the item (e.g. a bag of food) to PAW to receive a tax receipt.  Contact PAW for a drop-off location.

How does the PAW Society function financially?

The PAW Society could not function without donations.  Donations are supplemented by active fundraising (see link here). The Lethbridge PAW Society was founded in southern Alberta and is not affiliated with other groups with similar names.

PAW is a Registered Charity with Revenue Canada (#87186 5721 RR0001).

Veterinary services are the number one expense for PAW.  Even though an adoption fee is charged for each cat, rescued cats often need more veterinary care than routine spaying, neutering and vaccinating.  Food and litter supplies for cats in the system also represent a significant expense.  

Of course, a functioning Society cannot operate without a portion of its revenue going towards such things office supplies, printing and postage.  We have always been committed to keeping those types of expenses to a bare minimum.  We continue to be blessed with generous volunteers who donate their time and talents for products and services we would otherwise have to pay for.
