“All life is precious.”

It's what we do!

Aaron’s first rescue as a young teenager was a baby raccoon. He has always had a love for animals. Growing up he had a pet raccoon, couple of pet skunks, rabbits, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs and cat.
It was never their plan to start a cat rescue because Donna is allergic to cats. But in 2016 their cat rescuing days began when a feral cat had 5 kittens their goat’s hay storage. While calling around to find the kittens a place to live, they soon found out that all the shelters were full and most of them would not even return a call. Ever since then Aaron and Donna have been doing TNR, finding cats forever homes, and feeding animals in need.
