MORE INFORMATION
Donation Opportunities:
The Ark is self sustainable and money is our BIGGEST need. All of our operating revenue comes from donations, fundraising and adoption fees.
One major use of these funds is to pay the sizable bills we accumulate healing and caring for the cats and kittens we rescue. Donations can be made to our general fund or you can sponsor a specific cat in need.
Other funds are used to cover foster home costs, marketing, education, and community assistance, such as a low cost spay and neuter clinic. We are also happy to accept donations of pet supplies. Some examples are cat food, litter, kitten milk replacement, Royal Canin baby kitten food, and fortiflora. If you would like to donate supplies please contact us to find out current needs or check out our online wishlists: Chewy.com Wishlist or Amazon.com Wishlist.

The Ark of San Juan Companion Animal Rescue
P.O. Box 117
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92693
Phone: (949) 388-0034
Tax ID Number: 83 - 0493818

Making a Bequest of Your Retirement Assets
A retirement asset, such as an IRA account, makes an excellent bequest to us. If the IRA were given to your family, much of the value may be lost through estate and income taxes. By designating The Ark of San Juan Rescue as the beneficiary of all or part of your IRA (using a beneficiary designation form provided by your custodian), the full value of the gift is transferred tax-free at your death and your estate receives an estate tax charitable deduction.
