Why These Babies Need New Homes…

My Mom, Kathy Drake, passed away unexpectedly on December 22, 2023. Obituary here.

Our beloved Kathy was an animal lover through and through, and in the wake of her passing, she left many animals now in need of a new home. Every animal Kathy had was a rescue.

She rehabilitated countless animals during her 78 years and dedicated her life to saving and giving animals the lives they deserve. She was the kindest, most caring woman, offering countless support to others along the way, often paying for veterinarian bills when owners couldn't afford to do so and donating funds to animal rescues and legislative funds. She went above and beyond with every single opportunity that was presented. Kathy leaves behind animals who are family. If we could keep every one of them, we would, and our hearts break that we cannot.

These animals have been deeply loved, meticulously cared for, and a beautiful source of joy and comfort. Our goal is to ensure they find equally caring homes with new owners who understand the responsibility that comes with animal ownership. Kathy Drake’s animals are all unique and wonderful in their own ways, and they're now looking for families who will provide them with the love and care they deserve. Animals reside on Kathy’s farm in Pawnee, Illinois (a 90-minute drive from St. Louis, MO).

Transportation can be arranged for the right next home.

Some facts that pertain to all Cats:
