FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Fresno TNR has set up a GoFundMe for a replacement van after the original van was damaged in an accident.<\/p>\n
Fresno Trap-Neuter-Return is a volunteer nonprofit that provides vaccinations, trap loans, community education, transportation, and assistance for cats with medical needs.<\/p>\n
Fresno TNR was established in 2023 and has helped spay and neuter more than 28,000 cats.<\/p>\n
The van used to transport cats was rear-ended on Thursday.<\/p>\n
No cats or people were injured.<\/p>\n
Fresno TNR was told by the claims adjuster that the van is a total loss and that repairs would take months if the necessary parts could be found.<\/p>\n
They contacted 5 rental companies to get a rental van, but other companies have booked them out for the holiday season.<\/p>\n
Fresno TNR said it has found a replacement van but needs help with additional costs.<\/p>\n
Fresno TNR expects an insurance payment for the damaged van but said it will not cover the full purchase price of a replacement.<\/p>\n
The organization also said it needs additional funds for insulation, Fresno TNR logo graphics, and air conditioning in the rear cargo area to keep cats comfortable during transport.<\/p>\n
Fresno TNR said it had recently invested a substantial amount in insulating the van that was damaged in the crash.<\/p>\n
Fresno TNR said reliable transportation is critical to its operations and that without it, transport to surgery would halt.<\/p>\n
