Mid-Michigan Cat Rescue

Sarah has given her life so selflessly to the work she's done and it means so much to her family to see so many who care so deeply about her. It is with a broken heart that I write to you to say that Sarah passed over the rainbow bridge to heaven on 10/29/19. She fought hard throughout the last four years of illness and is at rest now.

In the last 16 years Sarah built MMCR with her blood, sweat & tears. Over 10,000 cats have been saved, loved, cared for and had a chance because of her. The cats that no one else wanted, the ones that no one else would take a chance on. Sarah devoted her life to them and she loved them dearly. Every single one of you that showed up through the years to help--with your time, your money and your heart--you meant the world to Sarah. As Sarah would've said it "you rock!"

*footsteps in the sand* Sarah left deep footsteps through this world. She still needs us, we can still lift her up & let her work carry on through us. "To save a life is the most amazing thing you can do." Sarah was always making a plan, always chasing the next dream on how she could do more good work, make more of a difference, save more lives. Rest in peace Sarah. We love you.

Please take a minute ... light a candle, remember Sarah and all that she's done, maybe ask her to watch over any loved furbabies you have lost over the rainbow bridge, hug your loved ones tight and of course kiss your kitties. Continue to keep Sarah's family in your prayers and thoughts.

Several members from Zeta Theta Omega spent a few hours assisting with chores at the MMCR Albion House. We each got a chance to utilize our skills in order to help out; together we cleaned cages, did laundry, performed office and clerical work, sorted cat treats, administered medications, and of course socialized the cats and kittens! While volunteering, we were able to interact with the wonderful cats at the Albion House, while learning all about their personalities and the MMCR organization as a whole. Our members had a great time being involved in such a great cause, and are excitedly planning a donation drive for the kitties!
