The Samuel Fund was established when we received a little 6 week old kitten whose leg had been snapped in half, requiring major surgery to place metal pins in his small bones so they could heal. When our vet told us his expenses would probably run in excess of $800, and asked what would we like to do - we took a step of faith and said, "Do whatever he needs! He deserves a chance at life, in a home full of love." Having less than $200 in our account we put out a plea to our donors, who generously responded. By the time Sammy was ready to leave the hospital, we had the money to cover his entire bill. Since that time, Samuel had another surgery, but has made a full recovery and is now enjoying life in his new forever home.

"The Samuel Fund" continues, so that when another, otherwise healthy animal, who has been severely abused has a chance for love. We hope the steady growth of this fund will provide the means to always be able to say, "Do what is necessary. They deserve a chance at life and love."
