How we expanded from 6 acres to 12 acres: When Doreen Wallet, a Special Needs school teacher, passed away June 25, 2003 aged 56, she bequeathed to us her condo, car and several pieces of artwork. She and her sister Sara had an agreement to donate to each others' favorite charities instead of giving each other Christmas and birthday presents. Sara had given Doreen the names to two cat charities in Fresno and Doreen chose us because she liked reading our newsletter. The proceeds from her bequest enabled us to purchase the adjacent 6 acre property and to fence the entire sanctuary. Sara was able to visit us recently and shared with us the full story which we had not known until then. We will be forever grateful to Doreen and Sara for enabling us to accommodate so many more cats in need. What a wonderful legacy!

Xylitol, a sugar substitute used in some sugar-free products, including candy and chewing gum, is very toxic to dogs and fatal even in small amounts (e.g. 8-10 sticks of chewing gum). It causes dangerous surges in insulin and can result in liver damage in 24 hours.

 "Feline Groovy Family Quilt Set - Click to enlarge")
The raffle prize is a set of three(!) quilts designed, made and donated by Diane Lotzer for a cozy family evening.
The Cat Daddy Quilt (Real Men Wear Cats):
Attention all Cat Daddies! Celebrate your inner feline with this unique XL throw quilt. Or surprise your favorite Cat Guy with the gift of a one-of-a-kind design made just for him! This quilt is made with cotton fabric (a gazillion tricky "Drunkard's Path" blocks!) and polyester fill, measuring a whopping 73" x 55" as an XL throw, which would also be big enough to top a twin bed. It comes with matching neck and lumbar support pillows.
Feline Groovy:
You'll be "Feelin' Groovy" with this whimsical 70's inspired throw quilt, measuring 60" x 50", made with cotton fabric and polyester fill. The quilting is a beautiful "flower power" design and the backing is lavender-colored flowers. It comes with matching neck and lumbar support pillows.
The Cat's Quilt:
Have you ever left your sweater on the couch, only to find a cat laying on it 10 minutes later? This cozy fleece cat quilt is just like that, a cat magnet. Keep the cat hair off your couch with this cute quilt that machine-washes beautifully and is cat-tested to last for years, even with lots of cat "biscuit-making"! It comes with two coordinating cat toys that your cat will love. Place it wherever you want your cat's new favorite spot to be! It measures 27" x 19" made with polyester fleece and fill with a cute quilted design around the cats to give them a 3D look.
