Our boy Rudy, snug as a bug in his blankie.

On Monday, March 12, 2012, Rudy left us with a purr. He was surrounded by people that loved and respected him.

Rudy was recently pulled from a local shelter where he was turned in because he had renal failure. At 16 years, this guy had spunk and the will to live, which he did until he was too tired to receive and give love. He stole our hearts with his loud purr and unconditional love.

Go in peace Rudy.

Without our dedicated volunteers, we would not have been able to help him in his final days.

At the same time, it is your donations that continue to help Rudy and the others that find themselves in the same situation.

Donations can be sent to:
