Are you referring to Crash's Landing? They're a large no-kill in Grand Rapids (I think). They have a separate shelter next door for FeLV and FIV cats called Big Sid's. I support CL when I can. They really care, and Dr. Jen (the vet behind Crash's) has pulled off some miracles on injured and ill rescues.
