In this episode I chatted with the lovely Katherine from Blind Cat Rescue in North Carolina.Blind Cat Rescue sounds like just an ordinary and normal blind cat shelter but if you are thinking this then you are mistaken! This special place takes care of not only blind cats but cats who are FIV+ and FELV+.The sanctuary was set up in 2005 by the founder Alana and her daughter, a mother and daughter team. Laws in North Carolina do not protect blind, sick or injured animals and the "norm" is to humanely euthanise cats in this situation.Alana couldn't stand back and do nothing to help these poor creatures so she set up a shelter on her land and since then has only increased the capacity and space available so that she can help more and more cats who are blind, FIV+ and FELV+. She became a true lifeline and last chance for these cats who would otherwise have been killed through no fault of their own.Now they can live a long and happy life with people they trust and who love them very much.  Alana and her team currently care for around 60 cats on site but at normal capacity (non Covid times) they can accept up to 100 cats. All cats who come to the shelter are forever family members and are not adopted out, their home is for life and so the shelter depend on donations to keep operating and helping these beautiful souls.The shelter is split into rooms with an inside area and also safe and secure "Catio" type area outside. The cats are split into these rooms with smaller groups of other cats so they become friends and their personalities match too. You can watch them online any time of the day through the online webcams so if you adopt a cat at a distance then you can be sure to see them on a daily basis as well as through the daily Instagram and Facebook live tours!Alana believes that any cat who comes to live at the shelter has already suffered enough and so this is the reason why they are not rehomed and given some stability and the love from all who care for them.Please check out the website on Blind Cat Rescue &amp; Sanctuary and also the stories of the cats here Meet all the wonderful blind,, FIV &amp; leukemia positive residents of Blind Cat Rescue.  You can follow the cats on Instagram on @blindcatsrescue and they also have twitter and a Youtube channel so you wont be bored following the antics of the beautiful cats!Katherine works on the fundraising team as well as creating the monthly newsletter and keeping in touch with supporters so is very hands on and creative! She fills us in on some of the day to day workings of the shelter, how it was founded and tells us who her favourite cat is... who will it be? And just for the record mine is a joint favourite (because I cannot decide) of WIFI and Serena! but they are all sweet and deserving of love! Enjoy!

Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 14 with Katherine Hilton from Blind Cat Rescue

I thoroughly enjoyed talking to today’s guest, Katherine Hilton, Program Manager for Donor Relations and Stewardship at Blind Cat Rescue &amp; Sanctuary.  This amazing organization was founded in 2005 by Alana Miller and her daughter after they adopted a blind kitten from a local shelter that had been surrendered and was going to be euthanized.  Today, they are still going strong.  They are located in St. Pauls, North Carolina.   Support the show
