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!
