Well hopefully you will be around for a long time to come, I think you said you are not adding anymore to your to home brood, which is good because it will be less to handle for family when you someday, way, way in the future "check out". It sounds like your sanctuary will be the best place for them, if there are a few that can't adjust maybe a family member can either help those or find them a good home. Are you going to leave the sanctuary to the woman who lives there or your kids? You could maybe even leave the sanctuary to an established WV rescue, that way they could keep your legacy of saving lives going even after you are gone. If you are feeling tired and it is too much for you, you could start transferring some of the ones from home you think would do ok at the sanctuary, instead of adding any new outside ones when one is adopted or passes away. After all it's not like they are gone, they are just living in a different house and you can visit them whenever you want, while not overwhelming yourself with too much work at home.

At 83 I'm in good health, but time is against me. I have 13 cats at home and three kids and three grown grandkids, but they all have a bunch of animals of their own. The wonderful lady who lives in my cat sanctuary said she'd take them, but there are 25 cats there and it would be a real burden for her, and some of my cats would freak out with that many new cats, even tho there is a lot of space for them there. I searched for other sanctuaries, but they are really expensive for as many cats as we have. Rustic Hollow was mentioned and sounds good, but it's in Iowa or someplace far from us in WV.
