Chris Arsenault, a retired train conductor from Long Island, NY, has rescued over 300 cats that needed help. He started helping homeless cats in 2006 after his 24-year-old son Eric lost his life in a tragic motorcycle accident.
He turned his home into a Cat Sanctuary where cats have the best conditions and live happy lives. “I wanted to do something good with my life,” Chris said. “This sanctuary is in memory of my son.”
“We have saved dozens of cats targeted by gangs who try to trap them for use as bait in dog fighting rings, cats hoarded in filthy condemned houses, and cats that were abandoned because they were not considered the “perfect pets” because of their disabilities.
We work tirelessly to combat animal cruelty and neglect with the aid of individual donors, grants, and dedicated volunteers. Cats in our sanctuary are available to adopt, and we work to reduce New York’s feral population using Trap-Neuter-Release methods.”
Now the the sanctuary houses around 300 rescue cats, each cat with a different story. You can follow Happy Cat Sanctuary’s activity on Facebook.
