Help Sharon Rebuild (home and catio lost in Eaton Fire)

Sharon is the founder of The Cat Posse, a 501c3 organization devoted to rescuing and rehabilitating abused and abandoned cats since 2008. Wednesday morning at 3am in Altadena, she was forced to evacuate her home with her dogs and the Cat Posse cats that have been rescued by her over the years – cats that are seniors, have extreme medical needs, aren’t fully socialized around humans, younger cats, the list goes on.

Without any external help, Sharon and her sister took the animals in the short period of time they were given to get out and find safety – which thankfully they were able to secure. Sharon is still in shock and does not know how she will emotionally or financially recover from this and as her volunteers we are trying to get her back on her feet. She is an incredible leader and cat lover that keeps our organization going with her compassion for animals and for the people around her. As volunteers we are heartbroken for her and are putting out a message for help.

In this time we are trying to get things organized for Sharon - whether it may be future costs for lodging, food, supplies for the cats and also going toward rebuilding a home.

You can visit our instagram handle @thecatposse for updates as we receive them - the roads have been blocked off in Sharon's neighbourhood so it has been difficult to get alot of information, but we will try to keep people informed on the situation as things unfold more.

The video below is about Sharon and the ins and outs of rescue, the triumphs and heartbreaks and costs associated.
