Review for Heaven on Earth Society for Animals Inc, North Hollywood, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Nine years ago, after my husband and I had lost a beloved cat, we started to look for a new member of the family. We encountered Heaven on Earth at a mall and with tears in my eyes, I found two Tabby kittens in a carrier. We had been looking for only one new cat, but were asked if we would take two since they were, and are, so bonded to each other. With due diligence, before we could "adopt" the two kittens we were thoroughly vetted including a visit to our home. Indiana and Sabrina are now a delightful part of our 5 cat family (all foundlings).

That was our introduction to Heaven On Earth and to Pam and Ritchie Geisel. We were delighted when they were able to purchase their new location and were privileged to be taken on tours as the building progressed from commercial to a very carefully planned shelter.

What they do for unwanted cats is truly special. It breaks my heart to hear about the number of cats and dogs that are destroyed in LA. Heaven On Earth has undertaken a monumental task to save as many cats as possible and find homes for them.

My husband and I continue to support Heaven On Earth in any way we can. I would happily volunteer at the shelter, but my husband strongly objects because I would come home with another cat and with our current 5, there is no more room on our bed.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

It's all about money. If they had more, they might be able to increase the size of the shelter including a protected outdoor area as well as hire more staff. Pam and Ritchie have done a remarkable job with what they have been given, but unfortunately, there is no end to the amount of unwanted pets. I wish I would win the lottery so I could see that their work continues and expands.
