Ashley
When a man perished in a house fire, he left behind his beloved cats, who
ran into the neighboring woods, escaping death. They were frightened almost
into hysteria and suffered burns on their paws as they tried to return to
the glowing embers, attempting to find their guardian. Pasado’s Safe Haven
was called to trap the cats and help.
“Ash”ley came to us petrified. She’d been through so much. Would she ever
recover?
With tender care from our amazing volunteers and staff, Ashley slowly came
to trust. She now lives in Misty’s Kitty City at Pasado’s Safe Haven,
awaiting her forever home.
Giving an “adoption”
sponsorship
of Ashley help pay for her veterinary bills. It would be a beautiful story
for someone special to receive and they’d be given visiting privileges to
meet this special girl! |

Pumpkin
“There is a cat, out in the freezing cold, and he looks injured,” the
caller explained. A Pasado volunteer just happened to walk into the office
when we got off the phone. He was back in his truck and on the way to where
the cat was located.
He was stunned by what he found. He walked up to an emaciated orange tabby,
who looked up to him as he shivered in the grass. One eye was missing. His
jaw had been broken. Open holes in his skin revealed he’d been shot by a
pellet gun.
Our volunteer cradled the little boy in his arms and rushed him to our vet.
It turned out he was old, maybe 16, and had lived through hell.
We know no one will ever adopt Pumpkin, he’s old and will face numerous
veterinary bills. His latest involved benign tumors that needed removing.
But the boy has spunk. He lives with all of the 2-legged animals in
Pasado’s People Barn offices and shares every meal with us (he loves
vegetables!). Your
gift sponsorship
of him will help support his care in his remaining years. And visiting
privileges will allow you to get to know this true survivor! |

Wendell -
ADOPTED!!!!
We found him on Christmas Day. Pasado's volunteers spend every holiday
helping distribute new shelters, beds, food, toys, and probably most
importantly, flea treatment to pets of the poor. They travel into the
neediest of areas on Christmas Day. But they weren't prepared for what they
found when they stumbled upon an old trailer in the mountains.
A woman had been caring for
thirty+ cats. They had all been in-breeding, and were full of parasites,
inside and out. Most were blind, but all were loved. It's just that the
woman didn't have the means.
Over the course of a few
months, all the cats were rounded up from the surrounding woods. They were
spayed and neutered, and made healthy once again. Wendell, although blind in
one eye, is now on the road to recovery.
Sponsoring him will help us
assist the next animal who needs us. In turn, your gift recipient will
receive a story of hope, and love, and of a very happy ending. |

LBK
(Little Bitty Kitty)
When a
Little Black Kitten took a terrible fall at a
construction site, a kind-hearted worker took it upon himself to rescue the
cat and take him to a vet clinic. One leg was injured so severely that it
had to be amputated. As the kitten recovered from surgery, adapting to its
new three-legged status and regaining its strength, it became known as LBK -
for “little black kitten”.
When
pet cats aren’t spayed or neutered, they can have litters of kittens in the
‘wild’ that have never met a human before and therefore are terrified of us.
We call these ‘ferals’. Feral cats are rarely, if ever, adopted.
Instead of facing euthanasia, LBK joined the lucky group of cats here at
Pasado’s. Your
gift sponsorship of LBK will keep him happy with all the catnip he could
want. You'll be helping this very happy ending! |

Bella
She was a stray on the streets of a big city when she was spared a life of
thirst and hunger.
Bella came to Pasado’s Safe
Haven when a call came in about a sweet cat that had been living on
hand-outs, at the mercy of strangers. She didn’t have shelter, and was
victim to the wind and rain and of course the cold of winter. How could we
turn her away?
Once at
Pasado’s sanctuary, we knew she was safe, for good. But a new challenge in
her life was discovered: Bella, as we had named her (for being so beautiful)
was FIV-positive.
Happily,
Bella will be able to live a happy and healthy life. FIV cats can be
maintained for years without showing any symptoms of the disease. And you
can bet that Bella has no clue that she carries a chronic illness. She
enjoys Pasado’s Safe Haven’s Kitty City FIV digs, where FIV-infected cats
like her can come and go, indoors and out, in a safe, secure area.
This
gift adoption
of Bella enables Pasado’s to help more animals who otherwise would never be
saved. Like Bella! |
