A cat and dog sanctuary in CA

[Lizzie]

That is so cool! I would love to do something like this. My parents have the property and I keep trying to talk my mom into it since she's retired. But we would need the money to start it and I have no clue how to start a rescue. Once I talk her into it I would research and figure out how to do it. But she is in her early 60's so it will be difficult to convince her. I won't give up!!

This made me smile because I'm in my early sixties also, and I suppose I do have some set ideas, but I'm always trying new things. Early sixties, to my mind, is still middle-aged and a good time to branch off into fresh projects. You could try visiting the web sites of some very established sanctuaries such as Best Friends and Pasado's where you should find information on how to start up a rescue, PR and funding, becoming non-profit, etc. Don't dream, do!

I can understand your mom's reticence especially when we have to consider what will happen to all of the animals after our passing. We can dream, though, can't we?

I'm sure my sister or one of my nieces or myself would gladly step in and take over. But I'm sure that's what she's thinking of.

I have been sending her links to these stories hoping to encourage her. I'm sure she'll be around for another 20 years or so. She could save a lot of animals in that time. She watches Dog Town a lot. And I'm going to send her this link as well.

That is cool. All the cats and dogs look very happy there. There should be more places like that.
