Bucks County Foundation recently awarded Women’s Animal Center, in Bensalem, a $10,000 grant to support the upgrade and purchase of new cat condos for its adoption center.
Mandy Mundy, executive director of the Bucks County Foundation, visited Women’s Animal Center to present the grant award to Cathy Malkemes, Women’s Animal Center’s CEO, and Katie Ottaggio, director of community programs.
“It is a most generous investment in our adoptions center to upgrade our cat housing to benefit the health and well-being for the beautiful feline friends waiting for their forever homes,” Ottaggio said.
Bucks County Foundation has invested $60,000 in the Women’s Animal Center in the last few years.
“Women’s Animal Center assists thousands of animals and people in need throughout the county and region each and every year, but receives no federal, state or local funding to do so,” Malkemes said. “We rely upon the generosity of our community to support our work, so to have a funding partner like Bucks County Foundation is truly invaluable to us, and to our animals.”
Mundy said, “Bucks County Foundation is proud and honored to partner with such an essential organization in Bucks County. Providing fiscal support for critical programs to support animal health and well-being benefits the pets as well as pet owners and the community at large.”
