Operation Demolition Cats 2021
We are doing something unusual for us and are helping with a VERY sad, large project outside of the Lake Lowell area. We are still a fairly new and small rescue with limited funds, space and only a few volunteers (who also work full time jobs in addition to all the litter box cleaning, cat wrangling, and tree climbing at the lake). So, although we get a lot of requests for help with large cat colonies we can’t generally help.
But this situation has really pulled at our heart strings. The property was sadly occupied and in very poor condition with a large number of cats, we are guessing 20-30 cats. These cats are mostly friendly and were cared for by the owner. The property has been sold and is scheduled to be bulldozed very soon.
This makes these cats unable to qualify for the program they would normally go under at the shelters, which is called RTF or Return to Field. So, without any other good options, we have decided to try and help these guys who would otherwise face an awful death.
We definitely need help, though! We have enough skilled volunteers to catch these cuties, who are friendly. What we do need are temporary fosters and help transporting to veterinary appointments. Donations of towels, blankets, sardines and wet food are also needed. Of course these kinds of projects unfortunately cost money, you can donate to the general fund , or even sponsor a specific feline.
We will post 5 cats at a time that are in need of sponsorship, as they get funding their picture will be moved into the sponsored slideshow and a new cat will become available for sponsor. This is to keep the page running well and streamline. Also you can visit our Facebook page for an up to date count of how many we have rescued.

Meet Rae
The cutest little kitten you can imagine was saved from the Demolition House. She was spayed, vaccinated, tested and transferred to a wonderful foster home to recover, however she is not recovering well.
She had to spend a couple days in hospital on fluids. And after some testing appears to have an upper respiratory infection. She will go back to her foster on medications.

Thank you so much for your contribution!!
The Demolition House
This is the house that these cats are living in, under and around. This is the condition that we found the house. The structure will be torn down with no effort by the new owner or construction crew to remove the animals beforehand. We just couldn’t leave them here.
