Trinity NEWS Highlight
One of our adopted cats made the news this weekend! Trinity had a really rough go when starting out in this world. The deck was stacked against her, but we did everything we could to see her through the hardships of losing a limb and the neglect that lead to there. She did survive though, and she learned to love the new human companions in her life. Turns out, she even became a wizard! 🤩🥳😻
TRINITY'S BIO...
Hi, I'm Trinity, I was dumped in a parking lot of an apartment complex when I was VERY pregnant. Matter of fact I had the babies the next day. Fortunately, between being dumped and having my babies a kind person took me in. I was a great mom, but now it's my turn at a forever home. I am curious, social, sweet and vocal. Just ask me and I'll tell you all about it. I am missing my right rear leg, but it doesn't slow me down one bit. I'll still run around, play and more!

Give4Marion - Lupin's Adoption
Here's an adoption story about Lupin, one of our precious Love-for-a-Lifetime cats. He lost his owner to health issues, and this fluffy fella had some medical issues of his own! Through our program we are providing all the specialized care that Lupin may need while allowing him to return to a new forever home. Everyone wins, and this - like all of what we do - is only made possible by the people who give their all to the fight for feline wellness! 😭😭😭😍😍😍❤❤❤
Give4Marion launches tomorrow at 10am, and we are beyond excited about this opportunity to gain ground in gathering the necessary resources for our mission! Starting tomorrow morning, there will be a number of opportunities to contribute to our cause that will allow your dollar to do more good! You will be able to sponsor shelter diversion appointments for kittens, spay/neuter surgeries for unhomed cats, adoption preparation costs, and even the annual care of one of our Senior Love-for-a-Lifetime cats. If you follow our posts and donate at the right time, our organization will recieve double, triple, or four times the amount of your original donation. For instance, your donation of $10 dollars could end up providing shelter diversion services for FOUR kittens! This is an amazing chance to get ahead and exponentially grow the goodwill behind our efforts!!!

Give4Marion, hosted by the Community Foundation Ocala Marion County, starts in just 3 days, and we want to share our story! Our Shelter Diversion is a key component in how we fulfill the mission - to make our corner of the world better, one cat at a time!
Sheltering Hands partners with caregivers of community cats and local rescues to keep kittens out of overcrowded shelters empowering them with age appropriate and necessary resources needed to help curb the overpopulation crisis of cats living in our community. We offer low cost services to individuals and rescues alike so you can be part of the solution too. Thank you to the volunteers, the staff, the vets, the community caregivers, and folks just like you making a difference in our world.
