Review for Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary, Pahrump, NV, USA
Last weekend I made the 5 hour (each way) drive to Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary to take my sweet rescue kitty, Mayfair, and a gorgeous senior, Jackie, who was saved from the kill shelter, to their new home. I finally got to meet Leigh-Ann and Nancy, who share their home with about 40 cats and 4 dogs. There were birds too, but I forgot to meet them - I was too busy petting kitties. There are so many rescue organizations out there and I never know which one(s) I should support. Most of the time I have only what I see online to go by, and I click some Paypal links or mail a check and hope it does a furry creature some good. I always had a good feeling about Wee Paws from what I've known of them online, and I'm happy to say I was correct. Leigh-Ann and Nancy are wonderful people. Their house is huge and well suited for a cat sanctuary and CLEAN. No matter how much I sweep up at my own house, I always find cat fluff in corners of the room, kitty litter tracked down the hall, and the occasional hairball - and I only have 6 cats. I saw none of this at their place. The only stray bits of fluff were the ones clinging to my shirt after a gorgeous deaf white kitty with beautiful blue eyes (Lucy) purred and rubbed all over me. The cats were happy & healthy - some playing and others napping comfortably. The only growls in the place came from the cats I brought, Jackie and Mayfair, who were really annoyed by the 5 hour drive. I wish my 6 got along as well as the cats at Wee Paws! It was a really difficult thing for me to do, giving up my sweet little rescue, Mayfair, but I could tell that she's going to have all the love and excellent care she deserves. I have every intention of supporting Wee Paws as much as I can in the future, by donating and by going back there to help with whatever they need.

What specific problem, purpose, priority, or project prompted your gift?
I love animals, especially cats, and I believe that keeping them in a home setting, like Wee Paws, is much better than keeping them in cages. Most of the animals rescued by Wee Paws have special needs, and donations are needed to help these animals.
Why did you make your donation at this time?
I make donations whenever I can, because I know that every cent I send will be put toward the care of the cats.
