Our Hope for the Future

Although the Orphanage does receive some donations, Dr. Sheperd personally pays for the majority of the cats' care and upkeep, which is expensive - over $75,000 a year. Still, he wants to do more.

At the moment, Dr. Sheperd sees a critical need to add more pens, fencing and pools. Ultimately, he would like to build an educational center for schools and visitors to use. He envisions a day when volunteers will be able to go to schools to teach children that these animals are not to be considered house pets. They must be respected in the wild and protected, as well as preserving their habitats.
