Meeting the Match

We have had perhaps the toughest winter ever at Home for Life®: in addition to the heavy snows - that continue now into mid April! - our boiler, (only two years old!) in the main dog building went out during the coldest of the January weather. This malfunction caused an avalanche of problems culminating in burst pipes and a heavily damaged building. Added to all this and along with the usual busy days at the sanctuary, the repairs to the building and boiler and installation of a forced air heating system, was the preparation for the gala on March 24 ( we had just six months to get ready from the time we had confirmation that Dr. Goodall could attend to the event date March 24!), we are late with our report on the end of the year Match Drive - but the results are in and thanks are due!

Winter

Winter came to Home for Life® in the fall of 2011 from a small town not far from Home for Life®. He was a young cat, maybe a year or two old at the time, and until he came to Home for Life®, had lived his entire life outside.

Twa

Another cat who desperately needed a Home for Life in 2017 and found refuge at our sanctuary was Twa.

Ruffian - RIP 1/2023

Confiscated by The City of Albuquerque's Animal Welfare Department from his irresponsible, neglectful owners earlier in 2017, the City went to Court to make sure he never returned to them. Ruffian was found by animal control agents several times running at large, and was terribly thin and matted.
