C & W’s Rustic Hollow’s annual OPEN HOUSE will be held on SUNDAY, AUGUST 11th, from 10AM-4PM. If you haven’t had the “Rustic Hollow” experience, then this is the place to be on August 11th. Rustic Hollow is the largest special needs feline sanctuary in Iowa. Our 321 feline residents live comfortably, cage-free, and have TV’s with ‘catsitter’ videos to watch and screened, secure, outdoor catios and playrooms as well. A caregiver team of 14 care for the felines daily and our many volunteers help in a myriad of other ways. Visitors are always welcomed, by appointment.
Email us for directions (rustichollowshelter@gmail.com). You will need directions or physical address for GPS. Our staff will be selling Walking Tacos all day long with so they can help raise some money for the Rustic Hollow furs too. We have a truly fantastic staff. Please greet each of our animal care specialist in each building you visit and thank them for the hard work caring for the felines daily needs and giving them TLC. Dress is definitely casual-jeans or slacks preferable, as the kitties will be anxious to greet you and may stretch up on your legs (or be on your back if you lean over). Of course, sitting on the floor remedies that and you can have a kitty pile for hours. You can start in any of our six buildings/homes you want and be sure to visit Wanda at our log home where some very senior and hospice kitties reside with us. There is a creek separating our log home from the other 5 sanctuary buildings and a walking bridge between them. You can park in either driveway. Please bring friends and family and come visit the cats for an hour or for a longer stay. Some people spend a great deal of the day with kitties in each of the buildings and that is encouraged too. If you have not been here before, now is the time for you to visit and see what we are about. If you cannot make it that day, you are welcome to visit any day of the week between 9AM and 1PM, our visiting hours. Spread the word. We’d love to see you on the 11th!!!
