2025 UPDATES

The Final Stages of phase 1 are in the works and we couldn’t be more proud of the progress we have made! As we are approaching the 1 year anniversary of our newly renovated space and property, we are celebrating! There is still a lot of work to go but we have come so far and we couldn’t have done any of this without you!

We are incredibly blessed by the generous donation of a 4 acre property with existing home from one of our founders and board members. We are eternally grateful to Alice & Steve Poseley for propelling us forward to meet the need of free-roaming cats and kittens in our community.

With funds raised by our generous donors during our 2024 Raise the Roof event, we were able to completely gut the interior of the home and give it some much-needed love to renovate this space. With limited space in the existing house and much to our surprise, Gary & Shirley Oswalt swooped in and donated the funds to financially support adding a custom-built 14×40 shed to our property. This will serve as our future TNR space so that we are able to safely house cats who are awaiting TNR services and allow us to pivot from our original plan of utilizing the living and dining space in the house for TNR services to having space to host volunteer trainings, craft days, and so much more!

We are planning a Fall Festival for September 20th to showcase our newly renovated spaces and raise funds for phase 3! Follow our Facebook for constant updates!
