CAPE CORAL ANIMAL SHELTER CELEBRATES THE LIFE OF BETTY WHITE BY HELPING
“GOLDEN GIRLS (and GUYS)”

The animal welfare world has lost one of our most supportive and endearing advocates, the
incredible Betty White. Famous for her legendary acting career, she is just as well known and loved
in our world for her tireless support of the care and wellbeing of animals. Once dreaming of
becoming a park ranger and later a zookeeper, Betty chose to use here celebrity status to call
attention to animal welfare issues throughout her long and extraordinary life.

On January 17th, Betty would have celebrated her 100th Birthday. At the Cape Coral Animal Shelter,
we believe nothing would make her happier than for animal welfare organizations to benefit from
those who want to fondly remember her life devoted to taking care of animals.

Here at CCAS, we would like to honor Betty White in an extra special way. We are collecting
donations now through January 22nd and these funds will be used directly to care for our very own
“Golden Girls (and Guys)” that we so love here at our shelter.

As part of our mission, we save many senior dogs and cats that have lost their homes for various
reasons, ending up in overcrowded shelters where they are often overlooked. We welcome them to
our care and find them amazing forever homes, but undoubtedly, they come to us needing extensive
medical care—dental work, senior bloodwork, thyroid tests, lump removals—all of which cost a lot of
money.

Why do we do it? Because we value the lives of ALL animals, especially our “Golden Girls (and
Guys)!” During the week of Betty’s birthday, we will celebrate her life well lived by featuring some of
our Super Seniors and show you just how your donations are benefiting the animals of CCAS. We
believe Betty would appreciate this honor and we hope you will contribute.

To donate, please click here, and stay tuned starting on January 17 th for a week featuring our very
own “Golden Girls (and Guys)!” The link to our information:

forever homes. of 8
