Petco Love (formerly Petco Foundation) grants Tender Loving Cats, Inc. $4,000 to support our lifesaving efforts in April 2025

Tender Loving Cats, Inc. (TLC) is proud to announce that we have received a lifesaving $4,000 grant from Petco Love. We would like to thank Petco Love for investing $4,000 in our grass roots, foster-based and all-volunteer run organization. In 2024, we rescued. saved, loved and spayed/neutered over 1,400 cats & kittens from the streets of Long Island, NY many of those cats & kittens needing extensive lifesaving medical treatment. Our goal, as always, is to meet or exceed that in 2025! We could not attempt to attain this goal without the generosity of the public who made this grant possible by donating to Petco Love. #petcolovepartner

Numbers of lives changed by
Tender Loving Cats in 2024

Take a moment to look at these numbers. As an all-volunteer, all-foster based rescue these numbers are unprecedented. When I saw them my jaw dropped. How can an organization with no physical shelter help this many lives? With the unwavering dedication of its volunteers, it’s foster parents and its supporters.
