My Nonprofit Reviews

My partner and I are pleased to review our favorite cat sanctuary, Aslan's Cats, Inc. I think it was in 2011 that I became aware of Aslan's when they experienced the ravages of a hurricane at their original site in Catskill, NY. It was just by chance that their plight came to my attention on a Facebook post (I suppose because of my general interest in all things relating to cats.). I remember they sent out a call for volunteers to help with the clean-up and repairs needed to stay open and while I was physically unable to make the drive from Connecticut to Catskill to help, and because of their enthusiasm to get the sanctuary open again, I immediately wrote out a check to help out in the only way I was able at that time. I have continued to financially support Aslan's every year and they are the major beneficiary of my charitable donations. It was my pleasure to partially fund a small cabin for some of the special needs kitties.
I have visited their former location in Catskill and enjoyed the hospitality of Hilary and all their wonderful kitties. and while I am unable to travel any more, I wish I could visit them at their new location. I've enjoyed seeing photos of the new property and seeing how happy all the cats are.
Again, I am so happy to support and cheer for Aslan's and I will continue to support them in the future.

I am pleased to write to you today on behalf of myself and my partner, Enid Redfern, about one of our favorite rescue organizations, Aslan’s Cats in Catskill, NY. We have been avid supporters of Aslan's since around 2012 when they experienced a tragic storm that decimated their property. We read about the disaster and immediately sent them a check to help them get the many repairs made. Aslans is one of the first animal charities we ever donated to and we have been faithful supporters ever since. We have witnessed first hand the great things they do for homeless cats. As cat owners and lovers, we are very interested in the work they are doing for the FIV+, Leukemia positive cats and feral cats.

Aslan’s provides a safe sanctuary for these cats that have no where else to go. These cats should not be mixed in a home of healthy cats and that leaves many no place to turn. Aslans’s offers them true sanctuary where they can live out their lives in a warm, comfortable environment, with plenty of nourishing food and Veterinary care for the rest of their lives. We have visited the Sanctuary in Catskill several times and we're always welcomed warmly. We have seen, first hand, the friendliness and warm atmosphere that surrounds the cats there. As owners of a feral cat ourselves, we can attest to the concern for these animals and the worry about providing for them.

We have been honored and proud to support this fine organization and will continue our support in the years ahead.

Sincerely,
Janet Franklin & Enid Redfern
