🚨 URGENT: Fire Destroyed Our Home & Animal Sanctuary — We Need Help Now 🚨
Organized by Fur & Feather Animal Sanctuary
About This Fundraiser
Just over 36 hours ago, at 3:30 AM, our home, the sanctuary, caught fire and burned down. More than half of it is completely gone, and what remains is destroyed by toxic soot, water damage, and structural devastation. The roof had to be torn apart after the fire spread into the attic.
We lost everything. And when I say everything — But this wasn’t just my home. Most of you know I turned my property into an animal sanctuary, caring for and saving special needs animals. In those terrifying moments, nothing mattered more to me than those precious lives.
By some miracle — every single animal survived. They were terrified, but they are alive. That is the only reason I’m holding it together right now.
💔 Right now, we need help. Immediately.
I do have insurance, but this process will take 15–30 days before any real support comes through. Until then, I am displaced and urgently need to secure safe, long-term housing — especially for the cats, who need a stable, proper environment as soon as possible.
🙏 PLEASE DONATE & SHARE 🙏
Every dollar and every share truly matters right now.

Hello All—
Thank you so much for your generous donations, sharing, and caring. We are beyond grateful. Most importantly, all of the cats are safe and doing much better. It was truly terrifying—our poor sweet babies.......
This was not just a garage fire—our entire home was affected. We have lost everything. The house has been red-tagged and is uninhabitable. Half of it is a total burn and will be torn down, and the remaining structure is severely damaged from smoke, soot, and water and will need to be completely gutted......
Our insurance is through the California Fair Plan, as most of us in this area lost traditional coverage about two years ago. While we do have a policy, the process is extremely slow. In the meantime, we are facing overwhelming expenses. We must secure and pay for a rental home while also continuing to pay our mortgage, which is not offering any grace period or relief......
We don’t yet know how long we will need temporary housing, but realistically, the rebuild will take at least 6 months to a year......
We are taking this one step at a time and doing everything we can to stay strong for the animals. Your support means more than we can ever express—thank you for standing with us during this incredibly difficult time.......
With gratitude,
Nancy and The Cats
