Home For Life Animal Sanctuary Loving care* A Place to Belong * a Home For Life®
Home For Life® is a care for life sanctuary

Home for Life®, an internationally recognized care for life sanctuary, and in 2019, voted one of the 10 Most Amazing Sanctuaries in the country by USA Today, offers a service to animals in need like no comparative organization. Many shelters and rescue organizations aspire to find a home for every animal and dream of the day when there will be no homeless animals. At Home for Life®, that's what w

e want too—and that's what we provide—for dogs and cats that are overlooked for placement. Home for Life® has created a new idea, the care for life sanctuary—a life-saving and life-affirming alternative for dogs and cats who have not been able to find a home or keep the home they had and for animals who have lifelong special care needs, that most adopters cannot provide. We call our idea "The Third Door®" in animal welfare which gives at-risk dogs and cats, animals who might have been passed over for adoption, an alternative to an undeserved death. The dream of a home should be an opportunity that is available for all dogs and cats, and now with Home for Life®, and the innovative model we have created at our prototype sanctuary in Star Prairie, WI, it can be!

Emilio was on the deadline list at MACC; we made a plea for fosters to save his life and other cats whose time was almost up and were lucky enough to have Monika offer to help. She has fostered Emilio since August and last week, Emilio finally found a home. Look at the difference in his eyes in the two photos! The one marked Urgent from when he was in impound, awaiting his fate, without much hope, and in foster care at Monika's home. We are so grateful to Monika for helping Emilio and so happy for Emilio!
Since our collaboration with SNAP't Cat Rescue began this spring, the tally is 41 cats and kittens adopted, and 39 more currently in foster homes- many lives saved! We are closing in on 100 cats and kittens saved in 2025, just in the few months since our partnership started. Pretty good for an offshoot of Home For Life Animal Sanctuary! Read more about this innovative partnership, born out of a determination to assist so many desperate cats and kittens who were not finding rescue help yet who didn't deserve to fall thru the cracks: https://www.facebook.com/homeforlifeorg/posts/pfbid022ojf9PovepVdCmti4Wc7s8xzQnZRmLdMiNYPDbyJgyYGri7dBhoccU8iBHtLbxmfl

What does it take to save an animal like Shoja? https://conta.cc/4pqm3iF

Shoja came to Home For Life Animal Sanctuary in 2015. Ten years later, it has taken more than mercy and good intentions, more than a holding facility, more than hustling them thru a transition chute to give him the life he needed and deserved. Read more: https://conta.cc/4pqm3iF

It's nice when you receive a summer flower in the depth of the dark days of November. This week, at the request of a veterinary clinic. we took in this pretty girl, named Daffodil, who is leukemia positive.
A spayed female, friendly (although at first thought to be feral), Daffodil somehow found her way to a rural property, and tried to make herself at home. There are two barns on the property, and the woman who owned the farm and barns let the barn cats have one of them to live in: many cats were abandoned at her place, and many cats found their way there and to the food she provided. A conscientious person she made sure all the cats that lived on her property were spayed and neutered. When she spotted Daffodil, newly arrived, she live trapped her and brought her in to the clinic. The woman had thought Daffodil was the male Tom fathering all the kittens in the barn so was eager to get the c at altered. She also described the cat as "feral". The other problem was that Daffodil, kept wandering up to the woman's house, where several dogs lived and one in particular, a concern because he was very aggressive to cats.
Well, the " Tom" turned out to be a her, and already spayed as revealed by her clipped ear and face tattoo. The clinic staff found her to be social and friendly., and they estimated her age at between 3 and 5 years. They also found that she was leukemia positive. Daffodill could not safely return to the farm to expose other cats and besides, with her wish to approach the house all the time, it was only a matter of time before one of the dogs would get her. So she stayed at the vet clinic while they tried to find a home for her and finally reached out to Home for Life. Friendly and social, a striking Siamese mix, it is evident that Daffodil was once a pet. She was also likely swept up in a TNR project after she was abandoned, then spayed and marked as such, but released again to try to survive. At some point, she became infected with the contagious leukemia virus, probably from another cat that had been released but never tested, and who was positive and exposed other cats he or she came into contact with. Through it all Daffodil did her best to survive and find a lace to call home. She wasn't feral and knew the difference between barn life and living indoors as a pet. Aftr her long search, and many close calls, Daffodil now has the home for life she was searching for with us.

Butternut with her guardian angel, Noelle, our Pyrenees mix.

this is one of those how it started/how it's going posts. Butternut was found in a farm field, after she was run over by a tractor. She had a broken pelvis, but it was an older injury, of at least a few days, and it left her unable to move, or look for food and find water, let alone get out of the way of an oncoming tractor. She has been on bed rest but is n ow starting to hobble around. There was also damage to the lower vertebrae and a large hernia, and we are watching closely to see if she will regain full continence. The hernia which turned out to be some muscle wall bulging, was repaired when she was spayed. As she recovers, this poor kitten who had such a hard start has found a protective friend with our Noelle.

More about Butternut: she is almost a month into her healing now and has about 2 weeks to go: https://www.facebook.com/homeforlifeorg/posts/pfbid02FSepyjMG46tyPyBNmqWiZ7jkUUXKeqCL75wmeTzWfsKL6gPZ8CmeafUGgTFD7Vnel
