Moving a few miles away saved her life.

Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary got an email in May 2026 about four barn cats who needed help. A family who lived near GLRS was moving to a new home that didn't allow pets. No shelters were taking in barn cats, and these four cats would be euthanized immediately unless a new, permanent home was found. While GLRS does not advocate for making a cat an outdoor cat, we cannot reverse their history and expect them to change. We welcomed these four kitties with open arms, and lots of catnip!

The family who needed to surrender these cats asked that we keep their names, and we did our best to respect those wishes. Boots' favorite activity is coming up to guests at the Sanctuary to say hi and get pets! She loves to meet new friends.
