America's Favorite Animal Shelter Contest

As well as young and healthy kitties, they will rescue those kitties that other shelters won't take, due to age, health or behavior problems. This is a last chance home for many difficult to place kitties. Maureen and her assistants are truly kind hearted people to save these precious animals.

Our Lady of Mercy Catnip cottage....wonderful care for animals in need! I am so thankful for all the wonderful work they do!

Maureen does wonderful things for animals

Maureen is such a caring individual. She loves each and every animal that comes in.

Maureen & everyone involved have the biggest hearts of anyone I know! They do so much for all the animals in need. I can't think of anyone who deserves it more!

From the moment that any animal comes through the doors of the Catnip Cottage they know love and acceptance until they find their very own furever homes. It is a very special place(s) and Maureen is absolutely incredible.

The Catnip Cottage is a no-kill shelter that relies on foster homes. They are therefore able to help more cats than they would in a conventional shelter setting. It is run by a very nice, very kind person who has helped us every time we have asked. It's a wonderful place that is all about the animals.
