“If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men”
Francis of Assisi
This quote is one of my favorites by Francis of Assisi (Giovanni Francesco Bernardone, 1181-1226) who is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment. We have this icon hanging in our office to remind us to try and do our best for all of earth’s creatures both big and small.
The purpose of The St. Francis Animal Rescue Center is to rescue unwanted, abandoned and homeless cats in the York County and South Mecklenburg County areas and care for them until the cats can find homes. They are a no-kill, cage-free shelter that provides food, housing, veterinary care, immunizations and spaying or neutering for the animals in their care. They strive to find good, loving permanent homes for the almost 100 cats that currently reside at the shelter. Additionally, they want to increase community awareness of the extent and gravity of the problem of homeless animals in the area.
It is hard to believe that a year has gone by since we all chipped in to help our cousins in need at St. Francis Animal Rescue Center. A lot has happened over the last few months and the good news is that Charlene has found a
wonderful location for the St. Francis Animal Rescue Center.
This time, I ask that you donate directly to the St. Francis Animal Rescue Chip in because they already have one set up. If you can help, please leave a nice message for our cousins in need saying that The Tiniest Tiger’s Conservation Cub Club’s small paws are uniting to help make a difference in their lives. No amount is too small because we all work together. Thank you everyone for helping our cousins in need.
