PLEASE HELP MAPPAR ANIMALS NOW! Just 130 more people donating $100 and the cats will have their new cat house!

We have only 11 more days to raise $13,000. We have already ordered the building. Since we will be acquiring 30+ more cats in the days to come becuase their current caretaker is in a nursing home, and we already have an over abundance of cats. We are in dire need for donations The total cost of the project is $20,900. To finish paying for the building, the concrete, insulation, electricity, windows, drain and flooring, plus siding, heat, a/c. Any size and type of donations are greatly appreciated. For each donation received a name plate will be displayed with your name or your pets name on outside of the building on the outside of the building thanking you for your generous support.

Jimi, Jingi, JoJo, & Jack

We are about 20 weeks old, and our personalities have changed already in the last few days here at MAPPAR so its kinda hard to describe too much about us. Other than we are too cute! The main things you need to know about us, is that we are altered, current on all vacs, and we will need lots of love and care for the rest of our lives. We would like a warm bed, good food, proper vet care and nutrition and lots and lots of love. You must not ever declaw us.

Please download an adoption application.


Ellie

Ellie is 7 y.o. and is potty trained and house trained. Her owners needed to move to a place where they didn't allow potbellied pigs. She tolerates other pigs here, but would prefer a home without too much comotion. She would probably do best in an adult only home, or someone that knows potbellied pigs. She can be crabby and bossy especially with her blankets and her sleeping area. She is a typical spoiled pot bellied pig. Watch Ellie's Video on You Tube!

Eddie On August 26, 2006, We had to make the terrible decision to end the life of one our beloved friends - Eddie. His constant reoccurring bladder infections (from being incontinent), were making him very uncomfortable and in pain, and he hadn't eaten or taken any water in days.

He was with MAPPAR for 6 years and he always gave unfailing and unconditional love. I knew what we had to do. As difficult as it was and with a broken heart, I made the appointment to euthanize our young friend.

On August 26, 2006, Eddie died surrounded by humans who loved him and in the hands of a caring veterinarian.

If you or someone you love has lost their animal companion, consider a memorial contribution to the animal organization of your choice.

Zoe -8x10 on 11x14 signed print on
archival watercolor paper - $75.00

20% benefits  MAPPAR

Original Painting $650.00
$50.00 donated to MAPPAR

After listening to yet another heartrending story of pets being separated from their owners during Hurricane Katrina, artist Sandi Gold knew that she had to do something. She decided to paint portraits of rescued animals for animal rescue and welfare organizations to put up for “adoption” to help them with their fundraising. Consequently Sandi's “Adopt-A-Pet-Portrait” program was born.  “The portraits won't ever need to be fed and I guarantee they will never stain your carpet!” explains the artist laughingly. Sandi is committed to helping as many animal rescue and welfare organizations as possible throughout the United States.

You can “Adopt-A-Pet-Portrait” of a potbellied pig named “Zoe” to help "The Midwest Animal & Potbellied Pig Association and Rescue." It is printed on heavy archival watercolor paper and each is signed by the artist.  For every print sold, artist Sandi Gold will donate 20%. She will donate $50.00 when the original painting sells. Both the original painting and prints may be purchased of “Zoe.”    http://www.sandigold.com/adopt _a_pet_portrait.htm You also can commission this artist by emailing her a photo of your pet to sandi@sandigold.com . Ask for a free estimate and be sure to mention MAPPAR and she'll donate $50.00 for each commission she paints.

Proceeds benefit the animals of MAPPAR.
