My Nonprofit Reviews

My experience with Dove road sanctuary and safe Haven is a very unique story ,a little over a year ago, my boyfriend and i had 39 cats living inside our trailer, all but 2 came from 2 feral cats outside, they would have kittens under our trailer and my boyfriend Barry would crawl under and grab them as soon as he could to prevent them from becoming feral too, before we knew it we had all these cats and no one wanted them, so we were stuck with them, it took us almost 2 years to trap the mamas to get them spayed, with that done , no more kittens, but Barry took very good care of the cats and did all the maintenance that came with them, all of our cats were very happy UNTIL, Barry started getting sick and having to be in the hospital, they found his heart was only working at 15%, thats when the problems started, i could not care for 39 cats on my own, my health wouldnt permit it, i am on oxygen and limited to what i could do, i called everyone looking for help with the cats, no one would take them, until finally one of the animal shelters called Jody and Jody called me, i explained my situation to her and she agreed to help, she was a GODSENT to me, without her help i dont know what i would have done, not to mention, my trailer had became very nasty, with me not able to clean 9 cat boxes 3 times a day, like Barry did, it got to where they were going outside the boxes, i have to tell you, i was very ashamed and embarrassed by this, it stunk so bad, i couldn't stand it, i tried to keep up with the work but i just couldn't do it on my own, so Jody went beyond the call of duty and asked a couple volunteers to come help me out, which they did, these ladies are awesome, they come all the way to Jamestown to help me, meanwhile Barry was getting sicker and not expected to live and he passed away last May and i had to move because i couldn't afford to live there any longer on my own, the ladies did a lot of HARD work cleaning and scraping floors that were in terrible condition and in the process, they were loading up cats a couple to a few at a time, til they got them all, except 2 that i kept, like i said, these ladies are AWESOME and i know Jody loves all the animals that come to her and she gives them the very best care and gets them forever homes as fast as she can, I cant say enough good things about this organization, I dont have a lot of money but i do donate what i can to this sanctuary and i will continue doing what i can for it, its a very worthy cause and Jody and these animals deserve every penny she can get, i will be doing a fundraiser for my birthday in august for her on facebook , i did this last year too, every dollar counts and i will do my part to help, and i ask all of you to help if you can also, just a few dollars can make a difference, thank you again Jody, Helen and Ida, god bless you all and keep doing what you are doing, you are making a difference in this world
