Sanctuary Fund

Our Next Chapter

Our goal is simple, to create a brighter future for the most under-served, medically complex and special needs kittens who too often have nowhere to turn.

With a dedicated space to expand our lifesaving programs we are working to create a sustainable future so they can get the care they deserve right here in Louisiana.

For some, that means a lifetime sanctuary.

For others, it’s the place where their second chance becomes the start of the rest of their life.

We have an initial fundraising goal of $100,000 to lay the foundation for this journey and hope you'll consider being a part it!

As Louisiana’s only dedicated rescue for special needs and specially-abled kittens, we have been a critical lifeline for cats with physical and medical challenges, giving them the care they deserve since 2021.

The kittens who come to us are not routine. Most require intensive medical care and long-term recovery support. Our one-of-a-kind foster program has paved the way for kittens with a wide range of physical and medical conditions, including paresis, paralysis, incontinence, congenital heart defects, hydrocephalus, encephalocele, epilepsy, cerebellar hypoplasia (mild to severe), blindness, deafness, limb abnormalities, traumatic brain injuries, pectus excavatum, neurological disorders, patent urachus, spinal injuries, abdominal wall defects and other congenital defects and injuries.

To expand this lifesaving work, a brick-and-mortar facility will serve as a safe haven for short- and long-term rehabilitation cases as well as a home for lifelong sanctuary residents.
