Ways To Give
Together, we’ll work toward a future where all cats are protected and valued. Here are some ways that you can donate.
First Watch Rescue is registered with the State of Michigan and the Department of Attorney General for charitable solicitation. We are charity #99-4655531.
As A Memorial Gift, In Honor or Standard Donation. You can VENMO us!
Donate in memory of a beloved who has passed, in someone’s name to recognize them, or simply just because. Your donation means we can be there for felines in need — by providing humane care at colony and TNR trap sites, rescuing and rehabilitating adoptable cats through foster and adoption, building and placing shelters to save more cats, and advocating for cat-friendly policies. To donate via VENMO, we are @firstwatchrescue and if prompted, the last 4 of our phone is 4423.

Simply text FORTHEKITTIES from your cellphone to the number 53555 and you will receive a link to donate from our fundraiser host, Givebutter. Donations made this way will give you an IRS-approved receipt that can be used for tax reporting.
Cuddly Campaign
We use the CUDDLY platform where donors can subscribe for updates on exactly how their donation is used. From there you can either give a monetary gift or pick out items that we need. Right now we are accepting donations to go out and fix outdoor cats to help stop the cycle of homeless, suffering kittens in your neighborhood.
