Funding will help ensure a no-kill community in King William and Lavaca
The Cannoli Fund has received an $8,000 grant from The Aid to Helpless Animals Trust and Frances Margaret Seaver Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation. This generous grant award will support our general operations and allow us the flexibility to direct money where it is most needed. We will be able to continue to provide resources and support to improve the lives of dogs and cats living in King William and Lavaca. Since our inception, we have helped over 1,370 dogs and cats through our portfolio of programs, such as:
• SOS (Save Our Strays) covers all veterinary medical expenses for qualifying dogs and cats rescued from the street.
• Cannolicare provides financial assistance to residents for medical care of companion dogs and cats, including spay/neuter.
• Community Cat Carpool provides humane trapping and transportation for feral or community cats to be fixed, vaccinated, and ear-tipped at local clinics, free of charge.
• Cannoli’s Kitchen provides monthly delivery of pet food to residents, often to those caring for community cat colonies.
“The Area Foundation supports the resiliency and livability of communities through the generosity of our donors. On their behalf, we are pleased to help the King William and Lavaca neighborhoods through The Cannoli Fund,” said Marjie French, CEO of the San Antonio Area Foundation.
The Cannoli Fund is grateful to The Aid to Helpless Animals Trust and Frances Margaret Seaver Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation for supporting our dedication to improving the lives of dogs and cats in the King William and Lavaca neighborhoods.
