I've decided to retire.

33. Thanks Kozar.

I totally agree.

About a year ago, I moved out of the city and built a cat sanctuary. I’d been in rescue for about forty years and we took all of the cats that we had left in foster homes, TNR colonies, etc. and brought them all out to the property. They live in a large, secure enclosure that is attached to a building that is heated and cooled. It was a dream come true.

Part of my desire to stop working is to be able to pay full attention to these babies and this project. The last year with a full time job has made me feel guilty many times for not being able to take (what my standard is!!!) proper care and attention for them.

Yes, everyone needs a passion and a way to contribute. I’m hoping that the additional time I have will allow me to concentrate on some fundraising as we are a valid and existing 501(c)(3).
