Tigers Helping Cats

UPDATE: The Nevada SPCA informed us that Truman has been adopted by a kind and loving woman. Thanks to all that helped him find his forever home!

Meet Truman (named after Mizzou’s beloved mascot). He is the first cat that the Nevada SPCA will be adopting out with our local alumni association’s support. We will be donating and soliciting donations for Truman’s care and eventual adoption. The Nevada SPCA, a nonprofit organization, operates a no-kill animal sanctuary, promotes humane education, makes referrals for lower-cost spay/neuter and vaccination services, and challenges people to be the best possible guardians for the companion animals in their care. Among those companions seeking a guardian, is Truman.

To learn more about Truman, please view his profile on the NV SPCA website, or his blog site. To make a donation to support Truman, please follow this link: https://www.razoo.com/story/Nevadaspca. When making your donation, please include the note, “For Truman! From a loving Tiger.”, so we know that our alums are making a difference.
