Pay attention to the animals, often following natural warnings presented by God sometimes more often than mankind’s willingness to do so as well.
RIP CHRIS and many of the cats at HAPPY CAT SANCTUARY
I woke up to very devastating news. Happy Cat Sanctuary caught fire and many cats perished. Chris is the founder of the sanctuary and he perished while trying to save his cats. I along with the rest of the rescue community are very sad today.
Happy Cat Sanctuary took in so many feral cats from unsafe areas, cats with social and physical issues, cats from hoarding cases, and cats from other rescuers. Besides adopting out the friendlies, they offered safe haven for any of the others who needed a forever home.
A few years ago I pulled a cat from ACC's at risk list. Nine times in a row she was posted to be at risk for euthanasia, and tons of people tagged me to help. I pulled her and found out that she was very temperamental, biting hard while being pet, and chasing my feet and attacking if I walked away. CHRIS found out about my experience with her and offered to take her. That is my experience with the sanctuary, and so many other people have brought them cats over the years. So many cats passed away today, I hope my cat survived, I hope all of the ones in the hospitals right now will survive.
If you followed their social media accounts you would see how great the cats lived and it always made me smile. Today is such a bad day.
