Sponsor a Pasado's rescued animal for a birthday, anniversary or just to say thank you to someone special in your life. When you sponsor one of our rescued animals, you help provide the feed and veterinary care needed to make animals whole again. It's easy, and you'll give a gift that won't be forgotten!

All stories are "gently" told - even though many of our animals are rescued from terrible conditions. We assure that every story is written to bring a smile to your gift recipient.

Meet the Cats:

	Halo The frantic call for help was answered at Pasado’s Safe Haven on a busy Saturday morning. A mother cat had been hit by a car and was bleeding profusely. Her injuries had caused her to give an early birth to her litter. A Pasado’s rescue team rushed to her side. This story of rescue, and (very) happy ending, for mom and her babies, makes a truly unique gift for someone - for any special occasion or holiday.
	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. “Ashley 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. Sponsoring Ashley will 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!
	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!
	Wendell 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!
	Bella Beautiful Bella 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, a new challenge in her life was discovered: Bella, was FIV-positive. 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.
