Our Hospice
In June of 2005, our vet, Dr. Jeff, asked us to take our first leukemia positive cat, Mayflower. Soon after, Sabrina, Nicky, Nora, Charlie and Georgia arrived and Mayflower treated them all with such maternal compassion that we called her “Mother”. The name stuck and while always maintaining a manageable number of residents, her legacy has provided shelter, appropriate food,vet care, companionship and lots of love to over 400 cats during the past 14 years. We are a small haven and are often full, but we dream of expanding our useable space and therefore the number of animals we can shelter. We cannot take in cats who have tested negative, nursing are pregnant, or feral as we just do not have the space. However, if you have a leukemia positive cat that gets along with other cats and likes being indoors then contact us if you are looking for a forever home. FiV intake was closed when our maximum number was reached. Families, other vet clinics, and rescues from as far away as West Virginia have placed their kitties with us and have seen their euthanasia rates lowered, their morale lifted and watched as their kitties lived out the lives that they were given. It feels good to know your positive kitty didn’t have to die years before she felt sick just because you didn’t have enough space for her. These relationships have been a source of moral support for all of the humans involved as well. This shows just how much good can come from one life, one decision, one legacy...one cat named Mother Mayflower. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/19VLSPKG8K64
