San Antonio, TX — March 22, 2025 — The San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition (SAFCC) is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $15,000 grant from PetSmart Charities to support its Community Cat Adoption Program (CCAP). This grant, which was recommended for approval after SAFCC submitted its application, will provide crucial funding to help prepare more cats for adoption and find them loving homes.
PetSmart Charities connects adoption partners such as the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition with local PetSmart stores to bring adoptable pets into in-store Adoption Centers and events. These include cats of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. PetSmart Staff and SAFCC volunteers are available to help make matches for people looking to adopt.
“Our program relies entirely on volunteers and donations, and PetSmart Charities’ commitment to animal welfare makes a tremendous impact,” says SAFCC’s Foster Coordinator, Melissa Christman. “With their help, we can continue saving lives, placing cats in loving homes, and promoting responsible pet ownership in our community.”
“Our local shelter and rescue partners are overflowing with animals looking for people to love. Adopting or fostering a pet not only enriches your life but is the best way to support your community and local partners like the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition in their lifesaving work,” said Heidi Marston, director of pet placement at PetSmart Charities. “There is nothing like the unconditional love of a pet! Please stop by your neighborhood PetSmart store and meet your new best friend.”
