CLOPON'S SAFE HAVEN RESCUE

HOW IT ALL STARTED

A Bit of Background

Clopon was a kitten left on the side of the road with her brothers and sisters. They were all feline leukemia positive.   Their survival rate would have been low if they were to become community cats, but if rescued the survival rate is much higher. A sweet soul picked up these kittens and then I adopted one of them, a sweet but super shy little girl, who would be later named Clopon.Clopon had such a loving soul. Shortly, after adopting Clopon I started rescuing cats.  Clopon, being infected with feline leukemia, was unable to eat, drink and play with the rescue cats. That didn’t stop her from wanting to care for new kittens that I brought in, she would stay outside of the area where the kittens would be and try to take  care and play with them. A kitten would cry and Clopon would get as close as she could be with them.Sadly, I lost Clopon at the age of 4 1/2. This is a normal life span for an indoor cat with feline leukemia. This was a extremely hard lost for me to handle. I knew somehow I had to keep her memory alive. I purchased my first home at the end of 2015 and there was a shed on the property that looked like a mini house.  I knew that as a perfect spot for my rescue. Lots of people laughed when I told them my intentions, but I knew my dream would be realized.  March of 2016 I started Clopon’s Safe Haven Rescue. Although, I am a small rescue of only 5 cats,  my plans are to be able to grow in the years to come.
