My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello my name is Velvet! Black Velvet! And just like velvet I am smooth and soft and comforting. I purr the minute you run your hand along the softness of my fur. But when I play, look out! I play like no one's watching! As soon as that fishing pole with the funny bird that doesn't fly very well comes out I catch that bird and run with it! And when I'm done, I'm smooth and soft as Velvet again.

I will comfort you and keep you warm in the cold winter months. Just try me, I'll be your lap cat if you only ask my foster mom! Tell her how great you'll be and how much you want me and I will make you happy. I promise!

More about this rescue

TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO RESCUE IS DIVINE!

Divine Intervention arose out of one woman's belief in the following statement:
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
Author, Edward Everett Hale

Over the course of 4 decades of helping multitudes of helpless animals, I've looked into hundreds upon hundreds of eyes looking back at me, each soul with a story that without words were conveyed through those eyes.

Now my day has come to lay down the gauntlet of the fight to save them "all" as I close my doors and try to save myself and what is left of those who had come to me at an earlier time as I prepare to lose our home.

Kittens and puppies are irresistible, I know. But until you look into the eyes of an old soul and watch those eyes go from fear and distrust to gratitude and love, you are missing out on something special. They came to me from all the places you would never want for them to be, some from unimaginable suffering. They may not be cute balls of fluff, but they are more than that, those old souls. And now they need to be rescued again.

I do not want their ship to go down with mine. They have come this far and I want for them to live out what is left of their lives. They may not be so young as to attract enough attention to save them before the doors close here, and that is my fear.

What is my hope? My hope is that this message will reach those with a special kind of compassion that will divert the heartache that I the rescuer now feel for the rescued that have no inkling yet, that as I lose my home, they will lose theirs too.

My mission has certainly changed from what it had been when I was younger and bursting forth with all the energy in the world in my one person crusade to alleviate as much suffering as I could.

My proudest achievement in life is the hundreds upon hundreds of animals who went from suffering to happy endings. Now there are just these few left. I still have a little bit of time and some hope that there may still be a happy ending to this. I'm calling all Angels!
