A Giving Tuesday Message From Siglinda

Posted November 02, 2021

On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, people around the world come together to celebrate and support causes that are close to their hearts and meaningful in their lives. It’s typically the most generous day of the year. This year the Goathouse Refuge is hoping to raise $20,000 by the end of #GivingTuesday to provide food, medical care, supplies, utilities, and staffing to take care for our 250 needy kitties. This has been a great donation day for us the past three years and we are really counting on it to help us out again this year. As you consider your donation for Giving Tuesday, here is a word from our founder, Siglinda:

Why Goathouse Refuge?

When I first bought the property, it came with a gorgeous old goat named Foggy. Every winter it looked like he had put on a sweater because the front part of his body became beige and the back was white. Foggy remained here and he stayed here with me. I do identify with an old goat, so I thought it was appropriated to call this place “The Goathouse”.
Fast-forward through two decades of building and repairing and tending to all the animals that were brought or dumped here, many from kill shelters and private citizens, and the Goathouse has become their saving grace. With the great work of the “no Kill” movement, sustained by the individual rescuers and rescue organizations, the percentage of animals killed in shelters is lowering every year but is still extremely too high.

Our commitment to the dignity and welfare of the animals is firm! The Goathouse Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal sanctuary dedicated to providing cage-free care for cats regardless of age, medical issues or disposition until a permanent loving adoptive home can be found. There are many ways to help us, including becoming a monthly sustainer (even $10 a month helps) and even putting the Goathouse Refuge in your will!

This Giving Tuesday, donations will help pay our bills, buy food and medicine, pay the wonderful people who clean, feed and care for the 250 kitties at the Refuge, and enable us to keep doing our work. In the end, but first in my heart, is the gratitude I feel toward all the committed, solid, always present people who continually help Goathouse to become the organization who gave and is giving life to so many thousands of adorable little hearts!

I do, deeply, love you all!
Siglinda
