THANK YOU TO THE JOANIE BERNARD FOUNDATION
A huge thank you to The Joanie Bernard Foundation for the grant just awarded to STAF in support of our Cat Medical Fund. We are honored to once again have their help to cover the cost of medical care for our new rescues as well as our sanctuary cats. This foundation has a wonderful mission: “Founded for the pursuit of life, love, and home for every feline, The Joanie Bernard Foundation exists to create a no-kill cat nation.”
We appreciate their partnership and are grateful for their kindness and generosity.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2021 GOLDEN PAW RECIPIENTS!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, please see this year’s Golden Paw award recipients!
Every year, the Board selects a candidate on the dog side and on the cat side who we feel is most well-deserved of this award. The award cannot go to a Board member or a member of the management team since it is meant to honor those chosen volunteers who consistently exemplify 
outstanding character and participation in a well-rounded manner. Year after year, these candidates truly make a huge difference for the overall well-being of our organization, and most certainly, we feel they must be recognized.
Their plaques will be stationed in our common area for all to see. A huge debt of gratitude to our 2021 recipients, Debora Hall-Bradley and Gloria Kennedy! To read about their amazing accomplishments, please click the above links.

WONDERING HOW STAF MAKES A DIFFERENCE?
If you are wondering if STAF makes a difference, ask Maya! Maya came to our shelter in February 2020; a shelter-to-shelter transfer from a tiny, rural, Indiana shelter as we were trying to assist with the rescue mission of 75 cats that were in a hoarding situation. This tiny shelter was overwhelmed and could not possibly handle the influx of so many cats and kittens. Maya caught our eye due to her look of fear and there was no doubt, she had to be a chosen one. Due to the fact that Maya was nearly a kitten herself, the last of her litter only survived about 9 days.
After months of wonderful medical care, nutritious food, and love from our STAF volunteers, by the time Maya went into her room, she had gained so much confidence, she ruled the roost among her kitty mates. She was adopted in February of this year and after following up with her family, it is not a wonder that our Mighty Maya is not only thriving in her forever home, her talents have spread far and wide. Maya has learned to play the piano and now can spend hours every day entertaining all members in her home. Maya, we are so proud of you!
