Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Did you know that there is a no-kill animal shelter that specializes in cats and kittens called The Last Resort that has been quietly operating in Hanover since 1981? Joan Norris has taken in and adopted out more than 10,000 cat and kittens and perhaps a dozen dogs in that time. Each animal is seen by a veterinarian, given shots, tested for FIV and leukemia, wormed, treated for fleas, and given whatever else it needs. No animal is put to sleep simply because it has severe or expensive injuries or illnesses.
Joan tells me that a few people have called The Last Resort to surrender their pets because they cannot afford pet food. To help people keep their pets during this economic downturn, The Last Resort has some cat, puppy, and dog food available for those in need. They also have a supply of scoopable cat litter. If you know anyone needing help with pet food or scoopable litter, please contact Joan at jnorrisink@comcast.net or (781) 826-5610.
Help for your pets, too. How cool is that?!
