No, this is not a fund for anyone named Roger. It is a special fund set up by Caroline’s Kids Pet Rescue to help stray and feral cats that have been injured or abused in any way. This is a cat sanctuary that takes care of cats without homes, even if they are hurt or test positive for FIV. Cats other shelters would put down are given care and shelter at Caroline’s Kids Pet Rescue. The only cats in cages are those under medical care. All the other, approximately 200, are free to be with other cats in a large room rather than in cages.
Below is a video I took when I visited the home of these cats. They actually reside in a 2-story house all their own! Their cats are adoptable, but if they do not get adopted, they can live out their lives here.
If you would like to help the injured stray or feral cats, you can send a donation to:

A friendly cat in Georgia is scheduled to be put down at the end of business June 30, 2010. See Sparkle's Hoping for a June Miracle post about it.
Today Gerard and I visited Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue. A non-profi organization with a no-kill policy to which I make monthly contributions. They take in abandoned, abused, terminally ill and older cats, including feral cats which other shelters euthanize because they are considered not adoptable. The cats use the whole house. There are over 200! There are separate rooms for the feral cats, older cats, adoptable cats with some behavior problems and one for those without behavior problems, and cats who test positive for feline HIV (who aren't in pain and could be adopted if they were the only cat in the household).
Each room has a wired screen door so you can see into the rooms before opening the doors. Each room is equipped with rows of litterboxes, food feeders and water bowls. All rooms have cat trees, things to hide under, crawl in and tubs for sleeping. All rooms have at least one window. There is also a room for vet care right on site with some cages but mostly the cats are not kept in cages but limited to their room which is shared with a number of other cats. Here is the link to their web site if you'd like to learn more or donate: www.carolines-kids.org.
I enjoyed our visit very much. There were so many friendly cats that just longed for attention and enjoyed being pet.
