On March 31st, the Long Island rescue community was shaken to its core by the devastating fire at Happy Cat Sanctuary. Over 100 beloved cats and their compassionate founder, Chris, tragically lost their lives. More than 300 surviving cats—once safe and loved—are now homeless, their sanctuary reduced to ashes.

In the face of heartbreak, we witnessed something extraordinary.

Over the last two days, Allie Tyrrell and Paige Elizabeth, our cat and medical coordinators, were welcomed to help assess what could be done. What they saw was nothing short of inspiring—tireless veterinarians, including many we know and trust from Shinnecock Animal Hospital and Save-A-Pet, working shoulder-to-shoulder with compassionate volunteers to care for every survivor.

Because of our incredible foster network, Last Chance Animal Rescue is honored to welcome these 10 resilient cats into our care.

Now, we turn to you to help us give these survivors the care, healing, future, and NAMES they so deserve.

💖 A $300 sponsorship covers each cat’s veterinary care, supplies, and long-term support. As a heartfelt thank-you, you, or your group, will have the opportunity to name the cat you’ve sponsored. 🐱❤️
