I am writing this amazing true story on behalf of Chris Arsenault

who is the founder of a Happy Cat Sanctuary that saves the 

homeless healthy, ferals, feline aids, disabled and more.

A bit about Chris:  Chris has dedicated his life to the rescue and 

care of hundreds of cats (currently has 300).  Chris started rescuing

in 2006 after his 24 year old son Eric lost his life in a tragic accident

when the throttle on his motorcycle stuck.  After this devastating loss,

Chris accidentally came across a colony of 30 sick kittens.  He removed

the kittens from the colony and nursed them back to health.  It was at 

this point that Chris knew saving cats was his calling and he opened 

Happy Cat Sanctuary which is run at his home all renovated to make 

all these 300 cats happy while there waiting for adoption and yes 

lets not forget all the loyal dedicated volunteers who help to run this

nonprofit no kill sanctuary.

About Happy Cat Sanctuary:  Happy Cat Sanctuary is a 501(c)3

nonprofit on Long Island, NY.  Our mission is to save the lives of

cats and ensure they are provided with the quality of life every 

cat deserves including access to medical care, proper nutrition,

adequate shelter and the freedom /safety to live without fear of sickness,

neglect or abuse.

Happy Cat rescues cats that have no place else to go including cats

that have been victims of hoarding situations, shot at, targeted by gangs

for use as bait in dog fighting rings, blind cats, cats with Fiv (feline aids),

and cats of abusive and neglected owners.  Over 300 cats reside 

at the sanctuary which is composed of indoor and outdoor shelters and 

areas to roam, scratch, lounge and climb.  All cats are neutered, spayed,

have access to vet care and are regularly brushed and given lots of love

and attention.  Cats are available for adoption to make space.

In closing:  Why I want to wake up every morning:  My two stray rescues

Tuxedo and Baby Brucie.  Yes, able to get some much needed sleep.

Tuxedo no longer wakes me up at 4 AM to go outdoors.  He is 100%

reformed indoor kitty with his buddy Baby Brucie.

Life Can Be So Short, But You Have A Calling, You Can Pick Up The

Pieces And Move Forward In A Positive Productive Way

RIP Eric we all love and miss you.
