"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.
