Happy Thanksgiving from the Goathouse Refuge!
Posted November 25, 2020
 We at the Goathouse Refuge wanted to wish all of our donors, friends, and family our warmest wishes for this Thanksgiving holiday. While we all are preparing to celebrate the holiday and its traditions in very different formats from prior years, we at the Goathouse have much to be thankful for in this most unusual year even as we are anxious to close out this chapter. While we all had to deal with the disruptions of shutdowns and unknowns of the pandemic, we are thankful for generosity of donors who stepped in so many times to help us keep the Refuge going for the cats. We are thankful that our founder, Siglnda Scarpa, celebrated her 80th birthday and came through a major surgery and health challenges. We are thankful for the research community, feline health experts and donors to enable our FIP kitties to survive what just a few years ago was nearly always a fatal diagnosis. We are thankful for our volunteers and partnership with Cat Tales Cat Café that saw record monthly adoptions of both kittens and grown cats. 10 senior kitties age 10 and up finally left the Refuge for a forever home! We are thankful for the generous in-kind donations of cleaning supplies, bedding, food and litter.
2020 is not yet over, but the end is not far off, and we hope we will move towards a more familiar pattern with the gates of the Refuge open to visitors again! We and the kitties miss all the attention of sharing the love of the Goathouse and the cats. We need to continue to ask and raise money to provide for the care, food and medicines for the 250 cats calling the Goathouse home. As you celebrate new Thanksgiving traditions, we hope you will remember the Goathouse and donate now or better yet, become a monthly sustainer. Very truly yours The Goathouse Refuge Team
