This is the story of a woman who runs a cat sanctuary with over 700 cats. She has saved over 19,000 cats over the years.
Her expenses are enormous. Despite food manufacturers donating food, it still costs $200,000 to feed them. The total budget is around $600,000.
Unless she gets more help, the sanctuary is doomed. This happens time after time as rescues take in more animals than they can feed, clean up after, and provide medical care. Most likely many will be consigned to the Fresno municipal shelters that have the third highest kill rate in the country.
If any of you have been looking for a place to do service, this is it. There are 25 employees, but I am sure their are also volunteers.
The Cathouse on the Kings is located in central California 4 hours North of Los Angeles in or near Fresno.

The cats live in a 5-bedroom house on 11 acres of land. Too bad we can't locate an ashram with a separate building on the property.
Their phone is: (559) 638-0490.
