The SPA is peppered with personalized metal bones on dog cages and fish on the cattery, but there is plenty of room to add more! Not only is it fun to sponsor an SPA casita, but also it helps us provide for our cats and dogs. How about joining in the fun?
“Casita” is the fancy name we use for an animal’s residence at the SPA. The oldest and only no-kill shelter for cats and dogs in San Miguel, the Sociedad Protectora de Animales de San Miguel de Allende, A.C. typically houses around 100 animals. Providing for our resident cats and dogs as they wait to be adopted is a costly undertaking. The donation to sponsor a casita (an annual commitment) is US$30 per month (only about one dollar per day). You will be rewarded with the creation of a personalized plaque, plus the knowledge that you are helping to support homeless, abandoned pets until they are adopted.
It’s easy to set up a sponsorship! Just go to our website (https://www.spasanmiguel.org/) and click on the «How to Help» tab at the top. Then choose «Support Our Fundraisers.» To use PayPal (the only way to donate to the SPA via credit card), scroll down on that page to «Sponsor a Doggy/Kitty Casita.» Choose the type of casita you want to sponsor and whether you want to pay in one annual payment or monthly. On that same page, there is a link to instructions for donating other than through PayPal.
After you have signed up, let us know what personal inscription you want on your Big Bone Designer Plaque or Big Fish Designer Plaque so our artist can get started on your request. We will send you a photo of the installed personalized plaque. Some current examples are included with this article.
If you have any questions about the casita program or how to sign up, please email us at SPACasita@gmail.com. Thank you to those who are sponsoring a casita now and renew every year—we really appreciate it!
