Review for The Goathouse Refuge, Pittsboro, NC, USA
The Goathouse Refuge is a magical place! You would enjoy a visit if you fall into just one of these categories:
1. You want to adopt a cat - or a pair!
2. You love cats but because someone at home is allergic, so you need a place to visit where you can be surrounded by cats and their cuddles.
3. You love cats, already have a houseful of them, but you want to help more cats find their homes in at least one of the following ways:
a. by donating funds towards food, blankets, medical care and adoption costs
b. by visiting the Goathouse often, to cuddle the cuddly ones; converse with the shy and feral ones; thereby socializing our residents towards positive human behavior. You would not believe how often this has worked.
c. lots of A and B.
Now: what can getting involved with the Goathouse do for you?? The following benefits are guaranteed, no matter how you follow the actions above:
1. Lower your blood pressure
2. Increase your lifespan
3. Improve the quality of your sleep at night
4. Step up your ability to love yourself and your fellow humans
Trust me: I'm not only a board member, I'm an adoptive Goathouse cat mom!
4. Step up your fresh air and exercise.
Review for The Goathouse Refuge, Pittsboro, NC, USA
The Goathouse is a magical place. Yes, it has goats. They're not up for adoption, but you can talk to them and they will probably answer. But the wonderland of cats! Acres of Carolina woodland have been safely cordoned off and cultivated for felines. Infirmaries, feral shelters and other cottages accompany the main house where the cats can wander in and out at will.
You don't have to be a prospective adopter. You can visit the Goathouse any weekend day for three hours of cat cuddles. The experience will soothe your soul. Moreover, you will be socializing cats who seek furever homes, and they will become more engaging towards humans. So you are helping to build families and increase the world's endorphins just by visiting!
Volunteers are also always welcome. My experience with the Goathouse includes cat mama (I have two Goathouse brothers and they are adorable); volunteer; cuddler; sustaining contributer, and now board member. Is this a conflict of interests? Nope. I'm interested in loving cats and in their rescue and well-being.... and all of what I do contributes to a single result.
Won't you join me? It's great for your health! :)
