No Kill Cat Sanctuary
A few weeks ago I posted a blog about a stray cat, Dexter, that I took in. Dexter is FIV+ and for the last few weeks I have been trying to get him into one of the no kill cat sanctuaries here in Tucson, Arizona. I received word tonight that a local shelter will be able to take him in, and care for him. Dexter will be going to Casa de los Gatos, which is one of the few no kill cat shelters in the city.
Casa de los Gatos was founded in 2005 by Beth Montes, a life long animal lover and feline care provider. Initially Casa de los Gatos functioned primarily as a sanctuary for special-needs cats. The organization quickly expanded to accommodate cats of all kinds; from the tiniest of orphaned newborns to abandoned geriatric cats and even several unclaimed cats displaced during Hurricane Katrina.
From the spring of 2006 to the spring of 2008, Casa de los Gatos has helped almost 2,500 felines get the nine good lives they deserve. With the communities help, we hope to help thousands more felines for years to come!
This cat shelter is a non-profit organization, and currently has about one hundred more cats than they should. This is a hard time of a year for stray cats in Arizona; as the temperatures outside reach upwards of 110 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. If anyone would like to help this shelter, I am sure they would be very grateful. Since the shelter is a non-profit organization, donations are tax deductible.
Thank you to anyone who is able to help out the shelter, you can link this donation page elsewhere by using this link.
