Just a few of our former "residents" are featured on this memorial page. Sadly they are no longer with us, but their memories live on!
See our GALLERY for more pictures.

Garfield is a feral street cat who Carmen found behind the sanctuary thrift shop in Nashua some years ago. He was a kitten and had just given up so she was able to pick him up. His back legs are deformed and rest backwards against his body, but he can run like the wind on his two front legs. Go, Garfield. He prefers cats to people. Sadly he is no longer with us, but lived a long happy life at the sanctuary before his passing.

Holmes came from a rescue organization in IL and was very feral. He came with his brother Watson. The rescue group had tried all sorts of therapy to help these two kitties. They had been found in a hoarder's home and they were hiding in a corner when found after the passing of the person. With lots of freedom and rehabilitation at Rustic Hollow, both cats are friendly now and have forgotten their fear and are no longer feral. Are they adoptable? No, because their 'home' and safety is where they found it-at C & W. (In memory)

OMG (Old Man Grey) was rescued off the streets of South
Philadelphia, PA after 8 very hard years on the street. He was not around for about a year after the cats in his colony were being poisoned. He showed up one day and was very ill so his colony guardian was able to catch him after all those years. He is nearly totally deaf; has a fractured rear leg that healed on its own; a front leg limp as well; many scars from battles; and he is nearly totally blind as well. He was FIV+.

 PRINCE and Wanda
Prince  was rescued after he was 'dumped' at our sanctuary. After a couple weeks of surviving outside he found our deck and our feeding station. He still remained frightened. I was feeding the birds on the deck one day in May and talking on the phone. Prince heard my voice and started meowing out in our wooded area and came right up to the ramp leading to our deck. One encouraging word from me and he was at my feet. From his reaction to our home and laps, we believe he was in a home with an older person who died and family simply dropped him off on the road at C & W. Well, he has officially been 'adopted' by Carmen and Wanda and he is doing well getting acquainted with the cats. He had a home. Now he has another one. 
While we do not get a lot of cats dropped off here, we do occasionally have a cat or kitten who comes down our driveway looking for food and help.  And they find it with our staff. Prince now lives happily in Bradley's building, as Carmen and Wanda's house is used primarily for senior's and special needs kitties.

MARIGOLD
Marigold was one of our feral FIV+ cats. At the present time, we no longer accept true feral virus positive cats. The FIV+ cats we take in are either friendly or have behavioral issues that make them adoption challenged or non adoptable. Marigold used to lay near Carmen as she would work in her office, in the window. She was a beautiful girl.
