Matilda's Pet Sanctuary
Our Story
Around 2007 we rescued our very first kitten, Matilda. Little did we know that was just a tip of the iceberg, One cat rescue turned into 2, then 3 and so on. We started a trap and release program where we rescued many cats and kittens. We got them fixed, released the feral, and homed the domesticated. We have also recused puppies, dogs, and even several small wild animals like raccoons, rabbits, and possums. Our main rescue focus is cats since this is the biggest problem we see. Of course we keep a "few". Today we have 22 cats and 1 dog.
Meet Matilda
2007 - 2022
This is her story. Matilda was found abandoned in a paper bag. She was so tiny, maybe a couple days old. We quickly got her some kitten milk, a kitten bottle, fed her on the spot, and brought her home where she lived a very happy life with us. As our first rescue from a tiny kitten, to having diabetes where she needed 2 shots of insulin daily to her passing, she is the driving force for our rescue and sanctuary work which is why we decided to name our sanctuary in her memory.
