Transforming lives, one cat at a time.
It has been said that helping one animal will not change the world, but it will change everything for that animal. Both domestic and wild cats need our help more than ever. There are almost 3.5 million cats in shelters right now. It is estimated that there are 60 to 100 million cats living on the street. Wildcats, like the bobcats who call RAWR home, face their own challenges: Habitat loss, hunting and trapping. We wish we could save them all but our little sanctuary is a start.


Meemie
Meemie was found alone in a barn, a tiny, frightened little fluff crying for her mother. We don't know where her mama went, if she abandoned her baby or was killed. Luckily, Meemie was raised by a wildlife rehabilitator who placed her with our sanctuary so she could live as close to a wild life as possible. Meemie is unreleasable because she has no fear of humans and never learned to hunt.


Rufus
From mange to movie star good looks! Rufus is a semi-feral cat who was rescued from a colony with a terrible case of mange. Sanctuary friend Sara got him treated and healthy, and now he lives his best life at RAWR with his best friend Lynx (below, another semi-feral from the same colony.



Linus
Linus is our little lion-hearted kitty who escaped a cruel leghold trap and dodged a bullet! He was found with his rear foot caught in a trap and was about to be "put out of his misery" by a local hunter. A kind woman managed to talk the guy out of it and he was sent to a rehabber. While he did lose most of his rear paw, he gained a loving forever home where he can be just as quirky as he wants and no one will ever get mad when he pees where he shouldn't.


Lynx
Mange is not only miserable to live with, if untreated it can result in skin trauma, secondary infections, ringworm, weight loss, lethargy and even death. Luckily, Lynx was rescued before her mange caused any permanent damage. These days, she enjoys her spacious outdoor habitat and snoozing in her heated den with pal Rufus (above).
