Owners of SpayMart said the facility has been an “anchor of support for more than a decade” serving as a safety net for thousands of animals in Louisiana and Mississippi.
“We’ve lost our home base, but we haven’t lost hope. With community support, we can rebuild—and keep helping the animals who need us most,” said Lynn Chiche, the SpayMart president.
Chiche says the adoption center was a quiet, low-stress haven for cats awaiting families. In 2024, the center:
Through the years, funds from the thrift store funded veterinary care, food distribution and emergency rescue. They are now calling on donations for GIVENOLA Day on May 6.
“For us, GiveNOLA Day isn’t just another fundraising campaign—it’s our lifeline,” said Chiche.
The organization also has a sanctuary in Picayune, Mississippi which is home to 150 rescue cats. Some are then transported to New Orleans for adoption.
One rescued cat is 14-year-old Roseanna, who survived a gunshot wound after a surgery funded by SpayMart’s emergency fund.
This year, SpayMart is working to raise $135,000, a goal powered by a dollar-to-dollar matching gift challenge of up to $25,000.
