In a heartening display of unwavering compassion, local resident Laura Johnson has dedicated her life to rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned and abused animals, transforming her home into a sanctuary for sixteen cats and counting.
Her efforts, recently highlighted in an interview with Mary Elizabeth Micari, reveal a tireless advocate for the voiceless.
Johnson’s sanctuary, named “Boomer’s Feline Friends” in honor of her late dog Boomer, is a testament to her dedication. Boomer, a gentle soul, provided invaluable support in her rescue efforts, allowing Johnson to nurture countless cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Johnson’s work extends beyond her home, as she also feeds hundreds of stray cats, providing essential sustenance to those living on the fringes.
“Every animal deserves a chance,” says Johnson. “My goal is to provide a safe haven for those who have been forgotten or mistreated.”
Recognizing the systemic nature of animal suffering, Johnson has established a not-for-profit organization to expand her reach and impact. Her vision includes not only rescue and rehabilitation but also education to combat the misconception that abandoning cats is harmless. She aims to illuminate the interconnectedness of animal welfare and public health, advocating for increased trap/neuter/release programs to control stray populations.
Johnson’s dedication has led to a growing need for community support. She urgently seeks volunteers to assist with daily care, rescue missions, and educational outreach. Donations, both monetary and supplies, are crucial to provide food, medical care, and shelter for the ever-increasing number of animals under her care.
“We need the community’s help to continue this vital work,” Johnson emphasizes. “Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.”
