Our SPCA creates a calender each year. You pay $25 to have your pet in the calender (they have collagious (sp??) in the front and back for those that don't make the main pages). The $25 offsets any printing costs in addition to acting as a fundraiser, they then charge for the calenders and sell them at the shelter, vet hospitals, events, etc. I also know our local cat rescue group has a setup to take care of cats for owners who have passed or can physically no longer care for them but for whatever reason don't want or are unable to find them a good home. The owners are able to place the cats in this facility and their well taken care of for life. I don't know how much they charge for the service but it helps with other costs as well. In addition they charge for owner relinquishment of cats. I think it's $50 for relinquishment, $25 to test for leuk, FIV, etc. and $80 if the cast is unaltered. This particular group only excepts owner relinquishment although I know they sometimes make exception and except strays, but the owner relinquishments help to offset the exceptions. Don't know if any of this is feasible but thought I'd mention some of this.
