Spotlight on Volunteers
Judy

In 2005 Big Heart Rescue was overwhelmed by requests for assistance with cats and kittens in remote First Nations communities. We sent out a plea for help and our prayers were answered by Judy, a skilled and compassionate animal welfare volunteer who worked specifically with cats!

What a blessing it was to hear from Judy that day, so many years ago.  Immediately she sprang into action and purred her way into the hearts of other ethical cat rescue organizations so that they could form a specific Cat Team to help in placing the felines who were in such need.

With Judy at the helm, Big Heart Rescue was able to fly these very special cats/kittens down to the mainland where each and everyone is sterilized, vaccinated, de-wormed, de-fleaed and are provided with any other medical treatment needed.  Once the little survivors have had all their vetting the Cat Team opens their hearts and accepts these wee waifs into their care until adoptive homes are found.

To have a volunteer with such dedication, tenacity, determination and networking ability is beyond a gift.  The hours that Judy spends transporting, e-mailing, calling, providing follow-up support and ensuring all the T's are crossed and the I's are dotted are too numerous to count.

Without Judy and the Cat Team, over 200 cats and kittens would not have made their way to safety and into the care of those who adore them.  This is an amazing feat for a volunteer and Big Heart Rescue is forever grateful to work with an amazing woman whose only intention is to ensure the well being of little souls in need.

Over the past 3 years Judy's special sparkle has added a joy to the organization and because she answered a plea for help, an entire new world opened up for Big Heart Rescue.

The Directors wish to send their heartfelt thanks to Judy and the Cat Team for all you have done on behalf of those who had little chance at a life filled with love before they found you!

Judy, you are the definition of volunteering and your kindness touches each and every person that has the pleasure of meeting you.

With sincere thanks,

The Board of Directors
