Many of you have seen this kitty
with the leaf on social media:

We think these two cats are spirit siblings! You wouldn’t necessarily guess from this picture, but sweet Twig thought he was actually a dog! His favorite activity was to collect sticks and carry them inside the adoption building, and he loved to run outside on the Goathouse grounds. He lived at the Refuge for many, many years. Every time Siglinda was there and he heard her voice he walked back behind the Infirmary and found the perfect stick to bring to her. He would start calling her from back there, with the stick in his mouth and called all the way back to where she was, dropped the stick in front of her and accepted in a shy way her compliments and petting… He did it for some of his feral friends too, She saw him arriving in the middle of the little group that gathered around waiting for him, drop the gift, and have a feast of head bots.
After seeing this Facebook kitty, one of our wonderful donors came up with an idea for an offer: ask our supporters and friends to donate food and items needed for the kitties, the special litter we use, cleaning and laundry supplies, propane gas for the heat, help with the vet bills,….. in other words, to help us with our supplies and bills, and she will match the donations in cash up to $40,000 to pay the staff who feed, clean, medicate and care for all the animals. Our supporters can choose exactly what they want their donation money to go to.
We have our own wish lists on Amazon, Chewy, and the Pet Pantry websites. We hope you will help us out with this unique matching opportunity.
