We have been enthusiastic supporters for over 5 years and have adopted 3 tremendous cats from Shelter to Home. We support STH because of the dedication of the volunteers to saving lives, often at great expense, and providing good homes for the dogs and cats under their care. Since animals are fostered, each has a better chance of going to the perfect home for them. The STH Board sets the example by putting their hearts and souls into the effort without any compensation. We are proud to be Shelter to Home volunteers and supporters.

The first time we encountered STH was several years back at one of the Santa Paws events. We thought it was a really wonderful concept, rescuing homeless cats from shelters, and giving them the run of a big, old house (behavior permitting) allowing them the freedom to interact with each other and with the STH volunteers and potential adopters in a comfortable, homelike setting. So much better than a cage at either a shelter or pet store! Since organizations like this only survive financially by donations, and physically by the work of volunteers, we decided to become volunteers & do what we could to help this operation continue & grow. We both love cats, always have, and every time we see or hear of a cat being adopted by someone who will (we hope) love and care for them, it gives us a really good feeling. Sometimes a bit of sadness too, as all of us volunteers will form bonds with this kitty or that one…but overall, definitely a worthwhile endeavor by a lot of dedicated folks!

Al and I are committed and supportive in our Volunteering for STH because of its Core Mission. We know first hand what can be done with an animal that seems unrecoverable or without “Hope” in a very dire Shelter environment. STH takes animals from devastating situations and sees the “potential “ in each Rescue that others looking at that same animal do not see.
