12 Unique Ways to Support TCAP

At Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP) we are dedicated to providing affordable veterinary services, promoting responsible pet ownership, and ending pet overpopulation and euthanasia in Texas animal shelters. If you’re a pet lover wanting to make a positive impact on the lives of pets across Texas, here are 12 unique ways you can donate to TCAP.

1. Make a Monetary or Memorial Donation

Monetary donations are a straightforward yet impactful way to support TCAP’s work. Consider making a one-time or recurring donation to help fund vital veterinary services and community outreach programs for pets in need. You can also donate in memory of a beloved pet or a special person.

2. Fulfill Needs from our Amazon Wishlist

We utilize specific items to operate efficiently. Our Amazon Wishlist contains common items we use every day. You can contribute items such as medical supplies, office equipment, and other essentials that will be shipped to our headquarters and distributed to the clinic needing them most.

3. Contribute through Chewy.com Wishlist

You can also support TCAP when you shop at Chewy.com. After checking out with your pets food or care items, head over to our Chewy Wishlist. Here you will find items our clinics use everyday and need frequently. When you checkout and purchase items from our wishlist, Chewy sends them right to our HQ so we can distribute them to the clinics needing them most.

4. Link Your Kroger Plus Card to Kroger Community Rewards

By connecting your Kroger Plus Card to TCAP through the Kroger Community Rewards program, Kroger will make a donation to TCAP on your behalf every time you shop. This donation doesn’t increase the price of your groceries, making it a unique and effortless way to donate while doing your regular grocery shopping.

5. Use Good Charlie Energy with TCAP's Code

If you’re looking to support TCAP while managing your electric bills, sign up for Good Charlie Energy using TCAP’s link. A portion of your electric bill payments will be directed towards TCAP’s initiatives at no additional cost to you, as part of GoodCharlie’s Roundup for Rescues program.

Use promo code RESCUE50 when you sign up. You will get $50 off your first bill, and Good Charlie will donate $50 to TCAP!

6. Select TCAP as Your Facebook Birthday Fundraiser Beneficiary

Harness the power of social media for good by setting up a Facebook birthday fundraiser in support of TCAP. Encourage your friends and family to donate to TCAP in lieu of traditional birthday gifts.

7. Include TCAP in Your Beneficiary Designations

Consider including TCAP as a beneficiary in your estate planning. Designate TCAP to receive assets from your IRA, 401k, life insurance annuity contract, or transfer on death accounts. This enduring gesture ensures your commitment to animal welfare lives on.

8. Make Charitable Distributions from Your IRA

If you’re of the age to require minimum distributions from your IRA, consider making a direct charitable distribution to TCAP. This can have potential tax benefits, allowing you to exclude a portion of your distribution from your gross income.

9. Leave a Charitable Bequest to TCAP

Include TCAP in your will through a charitable bequest. By specifying TCAP as a beneficiary of your estate, you’re leaving a lasting legacy that continues to support our vital work.

10. Donate Supplies in Person

If you prefer hands-on involvement, consider donating supplies in person during TCAP’s walk-in vaccine hours. Items like newspaper, puppy pee pads, copy paper, and laundry detergent directly contribute to TCAP’s operations.

11. Purchase a FlexiScoop

Product Design House, the creators behind the FlexiScoop litter box scoop, are supporters of TCAP. Every time you purchase a FlexiScoop to clean your cat’s box, FlexiScoop will donate $5 to TCAP. Learn more about this unique donation initiative.

12. Purchase Your Pet Supplies from our Affiliate Links

If you don’t have disposable income at the moment, don’t fret. Another unique way to donate/support TCAP is by purchasing supplies that you need for your pet from our affiliate links. Each time you purchase from this list, TCAP receives a small commission, which we use to fund our mission and help pets in need. See the pet products we recommend on Amazon.

Supporting TCAP’s mission doesn’t have to be limited to traditional methods. By exploring these unique avenues, you can contribute to the well-being of animals in need while aligning your support with your personal preferences and values. Every gesture, large or small, makes a difference in supporting our mission and creating a better Texas for pets.

Oakmont Ladies Golf Association Raises $1,000 for Texas Coalition for Animal Protection

During its monthly golf tournament, the Oakmont Ladies Golf Association (OLGA) raised $1,000 for Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP), Saturday, Aug. 5.

“We are so grateful to OLGA for raising funds for our mission,” said Stacey Schumacher, TCAP Executive Director. “Their donation will enable us to provide free rabies vaccines to pets whose parents may not otherwise be able to afford them. Rabies vaccines are not only required by law for pets but are critical in keeping our communities safe from the deadly zoonotic disease.”

The tournament commenced with an 8 a.m. tee-off at Oakmont Country Club in Corinth, where 32 OLGA members showcased their skills. OLGA’s members range from 30 to 80 years old, and encompass golfers of all skill levels.

Following the successful tournament, OLGA gathered for lunch and post-tournament awards, during which they presented representatives from TCAP with a generous donation of $1,000. TCAP is a recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit spay & neuter clinic headquartered in Denton. TCAP relies on charitable contributions to sustain its programs, including its free Feral Fix program and free rabies vaccine events.

According to TCAP, the organization will be able to vaccinate around 200 cats and dogs because of the donation.

The partnership between OLGA and TCAP was inspired by OLGA member Sue LaRocca, who experienced the impactful work of TCAP firsthand. LaRocca, a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady, sought assistance from TCAP to address the feral cat population on her property through the feral fix program, which offers sterilization services for stray and feral cats at the organization’s eight spay & neuter clinics.

“OLGA is delighted to collaborate with the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection in their mission to provide vital care and assistance to animals in need,” said LaRocca. “Our members are pet lovers who are proud to contribute to TCAP’s efforts.”

At the luncheon, OLGA members presented TCAP with donations amounting to $1,000.

3 Reasons to Vote for TCAP for Good Charlie's $10K Giveaway Grant

A vote for TCAP is a vote for many animal rescue and shelter organizations.
TCAP helps these organizations stretch their budget by providing low-cost spay/neuter services and low-cost wellness care to pets in their care. These services increase pets’ chances of adoption and decrease the number of animals the rescue/shelter intake in the future. Also, TCAP’s services help the shelters and rescues divert funds that would otherwise be used for wellness care for pets needing critical life-saving support.
Your vote helps fund free services for community pets in need.
We can offer free rabies vaccine events, free feral cat spays and neuters, and discount our already low-cost services because of grants like these. A vote for TCAP will be for pets in communities across North Texas.
You love animals, and so do we!
At TCAP, we’re a team of pet lover’s on a mission to end pet overpopulation and euthanasia in North Texas animal shelters. By voting for us, you will be joining us on our mission.
