A note from MLA's founder, Michelle
As I reflect on 2025, I want to express my deepest gratitude to you all. I see My Loveable Angels as a endless line of amazing, generous people all holding hands and each with an animal in need in their hearts, being the last line of defense for so many animals. Your willingness to give of your time, energy, and heart- often behind the scenes- has made life-changing differences for so many animals.
As you know, my rescue is a living memory to my sister, Leslie, who was so generous, so giving, and had a genuine heart of gold. Leslie ALWAYS put others ahead of her own wants and needs, and each and every day, that we continue our mission, I'm thankful that God is in the center of the way My Loveable Angels serves and focuses on helping the animals we rescue, and the people who come into our lives.
The selflessness of our fosters and volunteers is a cornerstone of the foundation of My Loveable Angels. What makes us different? We go beyond rescue. We focus on healing, proper care, and thoughtful placement to ensure each animal finds a safe, loving, forever home...even if it takes weeks, months, and in some cases, years. Compassion in action which goes beyond adopting out, it also holds true when adopters need a helping hand.
As I write this, I am so proud, so very proud of the unwavering commitment of our fosters. There is so much that is done, selflessly done, because it is the right thing to do; not for the recognition, not for the 'good job hi fives', not for any financial gain, but because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. About 6 weeks ago, a previous adopter (4 cats- not all from MLA; and an MLA dog) had some health issues and found herself in and out of the hospital. Without hesitation MLA jumped into action and took care of all the animals, not knowing how long it would be. Days turned into weeks, and yet, without financial reimbursement, without a worry that this was in the middle of the holidays, without anything but being grateful that we were able to help in this way; it took so much pressure and worry off of her as she struggled to heal. Sadly, this animal-lover, this lady who opened her home to give 5 animals a second chance and show them unconditional love, passed away. Our hearts are saddened for her family. Our hearts are broken for the fur babies she left behind. We will continue to do the right thing- the fur babies from MLA are back in the rescue as we have a lifetime commitment to our animals, and of course, the cats who did not come from MLA are now in the fold of the warm love of MLA, too.
WE NOW NEED YOUR HELP. It's not always easy, we know. Can you open your home, your heart to a cat or two? Or better yet, adopt an adult feline whose world has just collapsed? We will get pictures up when we have them. Animal lovers don't always need a picture to say, yes, I'll help. Short term. Long term. Anything will help.
2026 is starting off as a real challenge for so many. Won't you become a foster, and together, we can meet this challenge head-on! Cannot foster? Please consider making a donation.
