Meet Caroline!
Hello,
my name is Caroline and even though I've gone to the Rainbow
Bridge, my spirit lives on in Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue.
Caroline's Kids helps, old and sick cats, like myself, to live out
their lives with care and compassion. Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue
has a no-kill philosophy that allows these furkids, who have nowhere
else to go, to live with dignity. Thanks to generous donors, Caroline's
Kids is making a difference in the lives of cats. The kitties of
Caroline's Kids send purrs of thanks.
Purring too,
Caroline
Currently we are not accepting any cats. We are a limited admission

Visitors to the sanctuary are most welcome, the cats love company.
The sanctuary is open for tours Monday thru Friday noon-2pm or by appointment any other time at 7394 Morley Road in Concord Township, Ohio.

We are a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the care and humane treatment of aged, chronically ill and abused cats.
The kitties at Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue and we, Tom and Judie
Brown, and the staff and volunteers at our no-kill cat sanctuary,
Julius' House, in Concord Township, Ohio, need your help to provide for the
cats in our care.
We want to provide
an alternative to euthanasia for cats that are not suffering, but
yet have been abandoned or surrendered by their owners.
Caroline's Kids is a sanctuary for life for old and special needs felines. Although we do adoptions on an appointment basis based on our availability, we remain a sanctuary with the needs of the resident cats coming first.
Our free roam facility provides a last chance for the "furkids"
whose lives would otherwise come to a premature end. Our inspiration,
Caroline, was one such creature who found sanctuary with compassion.

Founder, Judie Brown being nominated for Cat Hero of the Year
[News Herald article written by Jenny May on 9/26/08]
To the more than 200 rescued felines housed at Caroline's
Kids Pet Rescue in Concord Township, founder Judie Brown
is viewed as nothing short of a hero.
With a little help from the community, Brown, who operates
the sanctuary for abandoned, sick and abused cats, could
receive that recognition nationally. Brown has been selected
as one of 10 finalists in the Animal Planet "Cat Hero
"contest. [read more...]

Add IDA's Guardian Policy to your e-mail signature
We are asking all IDA supporters to help educate others by adding the following text to your emails and web pages:
I no longer use language that accepts the current concept of animals as property, commodities and/or things. Rather than referring to myself or others as "owners" of animals we share our lives with, I now refer to myself and others as "guardians" of our animal friends and to animals as "he" or "she" rather than "it." Guardians do not buy or sell animals; instead they rescue and adopt. I urge you to do the same.
If you are unsure how to add this signature to your email, please refer to the instructions here.
Sanctuary Manager Ellen Distler's husband Dave is an author and historian. His latest book is a supernatural thriller based in Ohio.
Dave is a talented local author whose one book is being made into a documentary for which he recently filmed the studio interview.
My husband Tom and myself read The Lost Souls of Bell Valley and attended one of Dave's book signings. It is a page turner and one we are certain you will enjoy and will leave you wanting more of the same.
