In just two days, Shannon collected $1,500 with more donations on the way, which means more than $3,000 will be donated to the OMHS. "Given the short time to the collection, we are very overwhelmed and grateful," he said. "Hopefully, (it will) go a long way in helping to save these cats." Marion says another reason she and her husband are fundraising is to bring more awareness to the individuals involved in the rescue, such as Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) agent Laura Mackasey.

While the rescued felines must remain at the OMHS as they are part of an investigation, those interested in fostering the 290 cats already in the shelter's care can contact Heather White, OMHS manager of community outreach and education, by emailing heatherw@omhs.ca.
