Shelter News
We’re home!
Founded in 1999, APA is proud to be celebrating 25 years of saving lives. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary by moving into our new shelter which is located at 3808 Hamburg Pike in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Our volunteers have been worked tirelessly for the past six months to make the house we bought into the new home for the Fabulous Felines of APA.
We are thrilled beyond words to be settling into our new shelter. This move represents a huge step for us and we are looking forward to our next 25 years in our new home.
You can visit the new shelter and meet the Fabulous Felines of APA on Saturdays from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. These are our regular adoption and visitation hours.
We’ve been in the new shelter since August 10 and we feel like we’ve made a home for the cats. It’s not a shelter anymore. We truly have a sanctuary for our kitties whether their stay is a few weeks or this is their forever home. We hope they feel that too.
Our new shelter wouldn’t be possible without a generous gift from the late Vickey Aubrey who left us a donation when she passed away. We also appreciate all of the people who have donated to our capital campaign. We are so thankful for the gifts we have received to date but we still have a long way to go meet our capital campaign goal of $200,000.
Check out some of the media coverage we are receiving on our new home.
Here’s how you can help pay off our mortgage
To help pay off our 20-year mortgage, APA is embarking on a capital campaign to pay this mortgage off sooner rather than later. People hear the words “capital campaign” and they think they have to donate hundreds or thousands of dollars and they think they can’t possibly help. APA’s approach to a capital campaign is much simpler and is designed with our donors in mind. We’ve survived for 25 years with people making $10, $25 or $100 donations and that’s how we will do our capital campaign.
We are excited about this new chapter in our lives and we hope you will join us and be part of APA’s next 25 years by supporting our capital campaign. Please talk to others about this endeavor – your neighbors, co-workers, friends or family. The Fabulous Felines of APA are counting on you. We also encourage you to stop by our new shelter at 3808 Hamburg Pike in Jeffersonville, on Saturdays from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. This will give you an opportunity to see the organization you are supporting.
APA has a number of donation options we’d like to ask you to consider.
- We are asking 1,200 people to commit to donating $10 a month for 18 months. If we can get this commitment, it will bring in the money we need to pay off our mortgage and do the renovations that are needed. This could be set up through Venmo, PayPal, credit card or any other way that makes it easy for you. We would also ask if you would ‘recruit’ one other person to join our campaign.
- If you prefer to do more than a $10 monthly commitment, you can also make a one-time donation to kick off our fundraising efforts. For people looking to make a larger contribution, for a $5,000 donation APA will name one of the five rooms in the shelter in honor or memory of a loved one or pet. Secure online donations can be made below.
- APA will also be selling commemorative plaques for $100. You can have a pet’s name, person’s name or business recognized on a plaque that will be displayed in a permanent place at the new APA shelter. If you are interested in a commemorative plaque, please email us at [email protected].
If you have questions about this project, you can call APA at 812-283-6555 or email us at [email protected]. As a 501 c3 organization, donations to APA are tax deductible. Donations can be made below. The funds raised through the capital campaign will ONLY be used for the shelter/building fund.
Please indicate that your donation is for the capital campaign.
