Embrace the Future...

The future home for the cats starts with looking at what is there.

This is the Cat Sanctuary? I am sure you are wondering this question. In a way it was to be the future home for the cats that came into my life over the 6 years I lived in St. Augustine. I never planned to be the rescuer of abandon/stray cats that came into my life. I had one cat already and finding places to rent with a pet is very hard and expensive. You can understand the person who owns the house and the previous tenant let their animal destroy the inside of the house, the owner will charge a cleaning fee. So the next person has to pay the price, a pet fee of $300 if they want to rent the place!
So the story goes, I find a house to rent and there are two cats hanging around the house. I ask the landlady to capture them. She gives a thousand excuses why she can't and later in the fall two cats go to 7 cats.There are now to 2 adults and 5 kittens! Yes this was the beginning of the future Cat Sanctuary!
Six years later the owner decides to sell the house and one month later the house sells. I now have to move by August 15th! Where does one go with 15 outside cats and one inside cat? Oh, I can turn my back on them just like the previous tenant did, but I am not like that.
So the process of finding a place in a decent rent range with at least a nice back yard began. It would be months in searching. It would be being turned down because income is not sufficient to meet the standards set by the landlord for the rent charged. Then there was finding the decent rent, only to have the house in a bad neighborhood! 
Two weeks to go to find a place and make the decision of the fate of the 15 cats I have cared for all in the past 6 years. I didn't know which was worse not finding a place or having to make a call for someone to come and take the cats away.
Then driving home one day in late July, I spotted a sign "For Rent"

Just what I wanted but will I be approved? Well, long story short the realtor was the owner of the property and in the end, I was approved. All the worry of where to go and now I had a place. It would be several months before the cats were brought over, because the pole barn had to be cleaned out, framed and enclosed. In the mean time I would drive every day, seven days a week or 280 miles a week to feed the 15 cats waiting for me to bring them food. People would say to me why do you have so many cats? I always answer them with: How can you turn your back on an animal starving? Aren't we the stewards of God's Creatures?
