Every rescue knows the moment. A message comes in about a cat who is hurt, hungry, abandoned, or simply out of options. Someone is asking, "Can you help?"
At Finding Pasha, we always want to answer yes. This Give Miami Day, you can help make that possible.
What Is Give Miami Day?
Give Miami Day is a community-wide day of giving that brings Miami-Dade together to support local nonprofits. In 2026, the main day is Thursday, November 19, and it lasts just one day. Early Giving opens November 14, so you don't have to wait to make your gift.
Finding Pasha is taking part with a goal of $4,500. Every gift counts toward that goal, and you can donate on our official page:

Why Your Gift Matters to Us
Finding Pasha is an independent, privately operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit cat rescue and sanctuary in South Florida. People sometimes mistake us for a municipal shelter, so we want to be clear: Finding Pasha has never received City funding for our rescue or sanctuary operations.
That means the everyday work of caring for our cats depends on people like you. Your support helps provide:
- Food and special diets
- Veterinary and medical care
- Medication
- Rehabilitation
- Spay/neuter services
- Safe, covered shelter
- Adoption into loving homes
- Lifetime care for seniors, special-needs cats, and cats who may never be adopted
Some of the cats in our care will find families of their own. Others will stay with us for the rest of their lives. For them, Finding Pasha isn't just a rescue. It's home, and home has to be cared for every single day, not only on the day we ask.
The Only Reason We Ever Say No
When the next desperate call comes, we want to answer, "Yes. We will help." But sometimes, even with all the love and willingness in the world, our resources fall short.
That is the hardest part of rescue. It isn't a lack of heart. It's a lack of room in the budget for one more vet visit, one more bag of food, one more cat who needs care for a long time.
Your Give Miami Day gift helps make sure a cat's chance at safety doesn't depend on what we can afford that week.
A Mission Born From One Cat
Finding Pasha carries the name of a beloved house cat who disappeared and was never found. That loss became a promise: when a cat needs someone, we want to be there. If you haven't read it yet, start with How Finding Pasha Was Born, or visit The Pasha Story.
That promise is also why we believe so strongly that pets are family and caring for them is a lifelong commitment. Life brings real hardship, and we never want to blame people who are struggling. But a cat can't understand being left behind. Rescues like ours step in, and community days like Give Miami Day are how we keep stepping in.
Four Ways to Help This Give Miami Day
1. Give early. Early Giving opens November 14. A gift before the main day helps build momentum toward our $4,500 goal.
2. Give on November 19. Give Miami Day is one day only. Mark your calendar and visit our Give Miami Day page.
3. Share our page. Not everyone can give, and that's okay. Sharing our link with friends, family, and coworkers who love cats can make a real difference.
4. Stay involved after the day. Give Miami Day is one day, but our cats need care all year. You can donate any time, volunteer with us, or meet our adoptable cats.

Help Us Keep Saying Yes
We can't promise there will never be another hard call. There will be. What we can promise is that every gift goes toward the care our cats need, and that we will keep doing everything we can to answer yes.
This November 19, please stand with Finding Pasha.
