Never heard of them.  According to their website they've only been around since 2005.  Lots-of-cats in a rural setting always makes me nervous.  And, whoa!  They want a $5000 surrender fee for a healthy cat and $7500 to take in an FIV or FeLV cat.  I guess that's one way to make sure you

Hmmm.  Only 10 cats listed for adoption on their petfinder site.  And only one of those, an FIV+ boy, is listed as special needs.  This also makes me suspicious about the long term viability of the place.  You have to be committed to finding homes for the cats.  They need human families,

Never heard of them, but the place sure looks spiffy. And the price they get to take a cat should more than cover its care and the upkeep on the property. Now if I could get a few donations like that. Heck, if I got any donations Ah, I would probably just spend it foolishly on stuff

I wouldn't say having only 10 cats listed for adoption is necessarily suspicious. It is - at least partly - a sanctuary and not an adoption center. If I paid from five to ten thousand to get a cat in there, I would probably expect he is going to stay for life, why else would I pay that kind of

most sanctuaries are just that: they are sanctuaries, for unwanted cats, and do NOT have active adoption programs. if the cats were easily adoptable, well.. it's too easy to forget that sanctuaries are NOT shelter where the public is welcome to wander around whenever they'd like: sanctuary is

That's really the bottom line.  Someone has to visit the place in person. If I paid that kind of money to surrender one of my cats, I would expect whoever took the money would move heaven and earth to find the cat a real home.  I really expect that any remotely adoptable cat will at least be

Perhaps, it is just a different way of looking at a situation. If I paid that kind of money to place my cat there I would expect them to move heaven and earth to care for that cat for the rest of its life. That is, in fact, just what people are doing and I think it would be a breach of contract

The way I read it is they take in cats that are in dire straights and have made provisions for FeLV's and FIV's.  It looks to me like they ask for the large donations if you have a pet for which you want them to take over responsibility. I agree with Gary, that if people pay that amount for
