UPDATE​​​​

It’s hard to believe that just twelve weeks ago, we were suddenly faced with the overwhelming task of caring for 89 cats from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. The physical and emotional toll was immense, and the financial impact was unlike anything we’ve experienced before.

As a small rescue, we are not equipped—or trained—to handle this level of emergency involving severely sick animals, many with infectious diseases. But once they were in our care, we did what we always do: we treated them, loved them, and gave them every chance to heal.

Finding homes for them seemed impossible. But thanks to many calls, outreach efforts, and the help of other rescues and sanctuaries—we did it. Every cat is now safe and placed.

Our one lingering regret: Animal control has turned a blind eye to the cruelty, neglect, and hoarding that started this crisis - and they were there. These are crimes, and those cats deserved justice, not silence.

Every day, we receive calls to help kittens and community cats—and it breaks our hearts that we can't say “yes” just yet. But we’re almost there.

💛 Thank you to our incredible donors, fosters, and volunteers—you are the reason we made it through. You are the heart of NFSAW.
