FAQ: How Our Company Saves Lives and Supports Pet Charities
❤️ How does our company help save the lives of pets in need?
Our entire model is built around one mission: strengthening the rescue and foster ecosystem so more pets can be saved. Every product sold through our charity store directly contributes to funding medical care, emergency support, foster supplies, and life‑saving programs for partner rescues like Colorado Feline Foster Rescue. By turning everyday purchases into meaningful impact, we help rescues focus on what matters most — saving lives.
🐱 How do purchases support pet charities?
Each purchase generates a built‑in donation that goes straight to the rescue’s programs. There’s no extra step, no rounding up, and no added fees. Supporters simply shop for the items they already need, and the rescue receives vital funding to continue its work. It’s one of the easiest ways to give back.
🐾 Do rescues receive real financial support from the store?
Yes. Partner rescues receive a share of the revenue from every sale made through their dedicated charity store link. These funds help cover medical bills, food, supplies, transportation, and other essential costs that keep rescue operations running smoothly.
🧡 Why is this model so important for rescues?
Most rescues operate with limited budgets, unpredictable donations, and overwhelming demand. Our model provides:
- A reliable, ongoing funding stream
- Zero‑cost participation for the rescue
- Scalable support that grows as their community shops
- A way for supporters to help without needing to donate cash
This creates stability, sustainability, and long‑term impact for the organizations doing life‑saving work every day.
🐾 Does this program help small or volunteer‑run rescues too?
Absolutely. In fact, they benefit the most. Smaller rescues often struggle with fundraising capacity, grant writing, and donor outreach. Our charity store gives them a simple, accessible way to raise funds without adding administrative burden or taking time away from animal care.
FAQ: Are Purchases Tax‑Deductible?
❌ Are my purchases from the charity store tax‑deductible?
No. While your purchase supports the rescue, it is still considered a retail transaction. Because you receive goods in exchange for payment, the IRS does not classify the purchase as a tax‑deductible charitable donation.
📝 Why aren’t they tax‑deductible if the rescue receives funding?
Tax deductibility is based on whether the purchaser receives something of value. Since you are buying a product — even though it benefits a charity — the IRS views it as a standard purchase, not a donation.
💛 Can I still make a tax‑deductible donation to the rescue?
Yes. If supporters want to make a direct, tax‑deductible contribution, they can donate straight to the rescue outside of the store. The charity store is simply an additional way to support their mission through everyday shopping.
