Saint Francis Rescue and Sanctuary of Yuma

It's going to be a hard year for losing our senior babies. It's been one death after another. After losing Luna and Beauty. My little old papa kitty weighs nothing. He has suffered upper respiratory issues since the day we took him in. Over 18 years ago. We never really know how old they are when they are feral and come to us. He seems to be doing a little better and playing with his favorite toys again. He has been through every test, sinus are good. And he has been on every antibiotic for cats. I am just glad he is having a better day.. we did bury his mate Ava 2 years ago. And thank you all for the kind words when we lost our Luna and Beauty.

We just lost our senior Arab Beauty. She was the second senior we lost to old age in the last couple of weeks. She arrived at our Sanctuary a number of years ago. She was already an older horse. It was impossible to keep weight on her. Normal for a older horse. She found peace and trust at the Sanctuary. No more abuse
Only love and lots of food. You will be missed pretty girl.

Just got home recently from bringing this feral little guy in to get fixed. It was an all day thing , but knowing that someone out there was responsible enough to catch him, and to pay for his surgery. And are keeping him in their bathroom until he heals. They didn't have to do anything. They could look away and complained like alot of people out there about our cat population problem. Some people may have contributed to it by dumping them off at cat colonies without fixing them, maybe because they didn't wanna deal with it. I can vouch that the majority of our non profit rescues are in the red. We personally had to borrow from the bank for our last batch of hay. We had one donation for our hay drive. And we appreciated it. Thank you. We also appreciate our wonderful supporters who show up at all of our benefits and helped with donations. You know who you are, and we love you. And we have received food from our wonderful friends at Cal Ranch. They actually care for animals and the community. Also in the last couple of years we have received a few donations from Walmart. I cant tell you how much that helps. With bedding, potty pads, diapers, cleaning supplies to clean up kennels for all of the dogs. And in the past, alot of rabbits and reptiles, Cat litter for a heard of cats. Lol horse feed containers, suppliments and snacks for ALL of our 4 legged, sanctuary, family members. . They all ended up here at the Sanctuary because they all needed another chance. To trust again, to feel loved for the first time. To know that no one is ever going to hurt them again. Lets all do this together Yuma, one animal at a time. Or more.

Please consider donating to any of our non profits, we are ALL running in the red. Still we get calls daily to help animals. Our homes are literally filled with animals. Saint Francis also rehabilitates animals. We taking animals, nobody else wanted, injured, brought to the rescues over and over again, returned, because nobody understood them. The trauma that they've dealt with that left them this way. We can no longer take in animals if we do not get funding. If we do not get assistance. If we do not get fosters. Getting turned down from grants over and over again. I've spoken to all of the other nonprofits here , we are ALL in the same boat. If you love animals and can help us. If you can even afford 13.00 a month. It pays for a box of cat litter. It pays for a bale of hay. It pays for syringes to administer in antibiotics to sick animals. It pays , for wee wee pads for a dog that is incontinent or even diapers. . If you can afford more. That even helps with dog and cat food. Would you give up family time, every room in your home. Along with every spare penny you have to care for animals? We give up everything and the public sees nothing but more animals on the streets, in the local shelter. We are all trying to take care of the cat over population issues. No one sees that either. Long lines crossing the border. We all need a community. We all need you!!! Please consider helping our non profits.
