Second Chance assists abandoned cats

Already full with cats, Second Chance responded to Montrose Animal Care's request for assistance after they took in 15 cats and kittens from what appears to be a case of neglect and abandonment. While such cases are uncommon, they pose a serious health risk to the animals and often require greater resources than any one organization has at one time.

We can't tell you how many times we've heard adopters say that 'shelter pets are the best'. Unfortunately it never seems like enough to break the perception that the pets that wind up in shelters are rejects in some form or fashion. Like Mona for instance. Sure, she's 90% blind due to accelerated Pannus and in need of a seeing eye person. But, she's got the makings of one of those 'best pets ever' that we so often hear of. How so?

Countdown to Angel Ridge

What started in June as a dream opportunity for Second Chance is, as of today, a new reality.

Angel Ridge fits with Second Chances Needs and Vision

In a previous blog post I'd written about Second Chance's financial position and how we plan to fund the purchase of Angel Ridge Ranch. Hopefully that clearly demonstrated how we can afford this purchase, but please contact us with any further questions that you might have because today I'd like to write about how Second Chance, and the community we serve, cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
