Please remember Casey's House with a year-end tax-deductible gift! We do exactly one fundraiser a year, at the end of the year. We rely on our year end donations to get through the following year. Your help is greatly needed, and all donations are accepted with a warm and thankful meow!

 

Notice About Aluminum Cans

 Because of the increasing difficulty of hauling large amounts of cans to the recycling plant, we will no longer be able to accept cans at our Bluemont location.  We thank those that have supported us this way for many years but unfortunately, it has become non-cost efficient.

Please remember Casey's House in your year-end giving. We are at full capacity and many of our cats are special needs requiring special diets and life-saving medicine. Your support is greatly appreciated!

 

 Summer 2022 Update

A few weeks ago we took in a local (Clarke County) colony of feral cats whose caretakers were retiring and moving out of the area.  Because of this, we are now at our capacity and will not be able to accept new residents for the foreseeable future.  This is because we do not put cats down in order to make room for other cats.  All of our cats are guaranteed sanctuary for their natural lives, euthanasia is only used when it is in the cat's best interest.  Below are some pics of some of our new residents!

Crystal, though I'm tempted to call her Sylvester!

Dear Friend of Casey's House,

If you’re able, please make a donation to Casey’s House so that we can continue our mission of being a

sanctuary for unadoptable cats.  Below are the stories of three of our cats, their stories are representative of

the cats that we serve. Please read about Puddin, Pooh-Bear, and Possum and, if you can, please make your

tax-deductible gift to Casey’s House to help us take care of them, as well as the rest of the cats here at

Casey’s House. Donations can be made by check and mailed using this form  or via our secure donation

portal. We will also set up a Facebook fund raiser, if you prefer to give using that platform.

If you are unable to donate at this time, there are many other ways you can support us! Casey’s House

participates with Amazon Smile. Further, you can advocate for us by sharing our mission with a family

member or friend. Even a quick mention on your social media would mean the world to us.

In times like this, we’re reminded of how interconnected we all are. Thank you for being part of our

community. Without you, none of it is possible!

Stay safe and well,

 Cindy Ingram

President

I'm just putting this here as a precursor of sorts. Casey's House is scaling back to primarily be a sanctuary only. At last stop before euthanasia sort of thing. The cats that do best here are the ones that want other cat's company but not so much human companionship. Handle-able though in case they need medical care.

That's not to say that we don't have, nor will take in friendly "human needy" cats but just that, at this time, those spots are filled. There are only so many cats that you can actively love on.

Below is a response to a person asking about spay/neuter services. Since my school is in Harrisonburg, I don't mind taking cats to the clinic there. However, because of the reasons stated in my response below; I'm not sure if I will continue doing this.

Please stay tuned for further updates and stories about some of our current residents. We have two black cats, for instance that are in a "most hateful" contest. I swear that all I have to do is look at them to be hisssssed at! LOL Then we have Possum who, after three years came out of her shell and many others whose tales I will tell. Our website will be updated soon too!

**********************************

The only thing that you need is a cat needing to be spayed and to set it up, just confirm that you will bring her.

I actually am going on the 15th. The cost is $72 which includes a rabies shot. Do you want to send her on that one? If so, I would need her the evening before (the 14th) as I leave very early on the 15th. We'll return in the evening, on the 15th at about 7pm.

Just a note of reference, I am not at all sure how many more of these transports that I will do. I've had problems with people backing out at the last minute leaving me to explain to the clinic why I booked several spays/neuters but only came with one or two cats. I've committed
to this run but this may well be the last one; depends on how it goes. I'm just telling you this so that you understand that this isn't necessarily an ongoing thing that I do.

2017-Year End Newsletter

Dear Friend of Casey's House,

Another year has passed, and the time has come that we at Casey's House are reflecting on what we have done this year.  Here are some of the highlights:

• Alongside of local TNR groups, we have facilitated over 300 spay/neuters  
• Adoptions at the Leesburg Petco have increased by 50%
• We have provided ongoing sanctuary to 45 cats including Peepers, pictured below.  

Peepers: Peepers is a Manx cat which suffers from Manx Snydrome.  She is one of the sweetest, loving cats that I have known.  Being that I have had many come through these doors; that is saying a lot!  She is unadoptable because she is incontinent; her room is covered with towels that have to be changed constantly.  Peepers is a cat that seeks and thrives on human contact.  Each evening, just before bedtime; I get her from her room and wash her hind end.  I then bring her in my plant room where we watch the news and late show together.  She has become a regular part of my nightly routine.  I always have a towel ready and we always end the night with her snuggled in my arms with me holding her tight wishing that I could offer her more.  

Peepers, and the special needs cats like her; are what Casey's House is about.  A place where these cats can live out their lives without fear of euthanasia.  Please help us continue our mission to provide homes to many of the elderly and hard to adopt cats in our region; dedicated to the promotion of Trap-Neuter-Return to help end the plight of feral and other abandoned cats!

Added 9/26/18

Leo: He is a beautiful kitten. He is a sweet, sensitive boy, with a little voice heard rarely. he loves to run around and play with his buddies and sleep next to them or on you! He has a very laid back personality, He knows when he wants to be pet and loved on, and when he does he will purr, lay on top of you. He will fall asleep on your lap or in the crook of your arm with his tummy in the air. He loves tummy rubs He purrs loudly enjoying your closeness and presence. He loves to play chasing the ribbon on the stick, loves being under the covers and loves sleeping with Theo his buddy. Words for him are simply sweet, playful, and of course a love.

Lyra: She is a dainty little girl with a sweet beautiful face. She is very vocal about wanting to be pet and loved and cuddled. She loves nothing more than curling up and purring next to you, except maybe sitting on your chest and purring while you pet her. She is a little “motor-boat”. She will  fall asleep right on your stomach/ legs, but ends up curled next to you kneading the thick blanket looking at you with her pretty eyes.she loves belly rubs and to lick you and her buddies! She loves to play and wrestle she is the fastest by far chasing the ribbon on the stick! she chases the stick end as well. She in a couple words is just sweet and lovable. She loves playing fingers under the blanket and being under he blanket and your knees! 

Theo: I think that he is going to grow into a big solid beautiful tabby boy. As a kitten he is the most solid of the bunch sometime I call him my little chunk. He loves being on his back, belly in the air, and loves his tummy rubbed while he purrs madly. He is a “motor-boat”, even once I put the food down in the morning he will still be snaking around my ankles purring while the others have started to eat, he is a sweetheart. He loves to play, wrestle, and chase the ribbon on the stick. He chases your fingers under the covers or blankets. When the others are still playing he will often be the first to come over and want to be cuddled and pet then take a nice purring nap on my lap. He loves sleeping under your knees and the covers! He has such a nice laid back personality, he purrs loudly and often, I always know who will be the first to come over and want to cuddle whenever I enter the room. In a few words he is a laid back, sweetheart, a master of cuddles and purring.

Cat Adoptions on many Saturdays 1-4 pm at the Leesburg Petco!

(We also have two cats that stay in their habitats at Petco and can be seen any time!)

Casey’s House, Inc. Intake Policy

Casey’s House, Inc. receives many requests to place cats with us. Because we are a no-kill facility, we are not able to take every cat. We limit our intake based on the current capacity.

Casey’s House, Inc. accepts cats which are not adoptable.  It is important to know that we will ask for a surrender fee to help care for the cat you would like to place with us.  It is also important to understand that most of the cats which are in our sanctuary are not socialized.  We do have spots within our home for human-needy cats but those spaces are very limited.  When we have space, preference is given to cats with physical disabilities such as blindness or lameness. 

We do not have a waiting list. If we do not have the space for your cat, you are welcome to check back with us at a later time.  The Cat Intake Application can be requested by sending an email to info@caseyshouse.org

We have done so much this year but we still have so much more to do.  More cats to get to the spay neuter clinic, more cats into their forever homes, and more cats that need a place like Casey’s House where they can live out their lives despite having issues with the litter box or some other flaw.

Please help us in our mission to provide a home to many of the elderly and hard to adopt cats in our region; and to promote Trap-Neuter-Return to help end the plight of feral and other abandoned cats!

*****************************************************************************************

Sneezy came to us early in Spring at about 9 months old.  At first she was very shy and scared of the other cats in our home.  We weren’t able to place her before kitten season so she wound up staying with us for most of the year.  About two months ago she started to open up to us more and be less afraid of the other cats.  I am happy to say that she has now been adopted and went to her new home on the Saturday after Thanksgiving!  

Annie came to Casey’s House this spring.  She is 15 but has the spirit of a much younger cat.  She reminds us of Cindy Loo which was one of the cats of Casey’s clan that came to stay with us over a decade ago.  Her beautiful long white hair makes her look like a cat princess.  She was given up due to her owner having to relocate to an apartment that wouldn’t allow cats.  She doesn’t have to worry about that at Casey’s House!

Mr. S was rescued from a high kill shelter in Maryland.  He appears to be a pure bred Siamese with perfect flame point markings.  We initially tried to find him an adopted home but he was asked to leave his adoption center after a few days when his very potent urine smell became a problem.   We had just gotten him neutered and had expected the smell to cease after just a day or two but it actually took about a full month!  By that time, kitten season had come and we had to put Mr S’s adoption on hold.  He soon showed his value to us as every kitten’s foster dad as he taught each and every one how to play and how to get treats from the humans.  He also protects the kittens from the other adult cats, nobody dares to mess with “his” babies!
