The
Kay Hooper Foundation
Kay's love of animals has led to her decision to form a charitable
foundation which will work to promote the humane treatment of and
safe haven for animals, as well as promoting literacy and education.
Kay is currently deeply involved in the drive to build and operate
a state-of-the-art Community Pet Center in her area, where homeless
animals will have a safe temporary home and loving care until new
permanent homes can be found for them. If you're interested in learning
more about the pet center, its background, goals, and events —
as well as Kay's involvement in it — please go to www.rutherfordpets.com
for more information.

Kay's
reminder:
Please spay and neuter your pets! We can greatly diminish
the tragedy of unwanted pets with this simple, humane, and responsible
action.

Kay's
pet photos:
The following three beauties were, literally, thrown away as two-week-old kittens; a kind soul found them in a dumpster, and took them to one of our local cat-rescue groups. They were bottle-fed by volunteers, and then introduced to a homeless female cat who had been spayed late in pregnancy and was showing signs of depression.
This is Sophie.
This is Daisy.
This is Bella.
And this is Maggie. (Yes, she looks a lot like Isabel!) Maggie happily nurtured the kittens while volunteers continued to feed them, until they were weaned and able to eat solid food. Then all four came to live with me.
Kay's
reminder: Please, if you plan to include a new cat or dog in the family, visit your local shelter or rescue organization. Many beautiful, wonderful pets end up homeless through no fault of their own, and deserve the chance to live safe and happy with loving families. |
My resident cats accepted the newcomers quickly, as you can see here. Renny, sharing a meal with Bella and Sophie.
