About Ragdoll Rescue NorthWest
Hi my name is Sharla Hill and I am the founder of Ragdoll Rescue NW.
This rescue was started in September of 2003, and I have not had the time to look back! I had no idea what I was doing, all I knew was that someone had to help. In all my searching and emailing there wasn't anyone out there that was being very effective in rescuing Ragdolls, so I thought I would give it a go. I started a yahoo club and asked people to join. I joined every group,
list or board I found that had to do with Ragdolls, rescue or transport. I found a
few dedicated volunteers out of all those groups, some just love cats and some have been in rescue for a while.
I currently live in Salem, Oregon with my family.
A few years ago I decided to adopt two ragdoll kittens (Sneakers and Boots) from a breeder in Portland, Oregon after being told that Ragdolls were never found in rescue! Well sadly that was not true, as I soon found out. After having my Ragdolls for a few months I just could not think of any cat as gentle and sweet as a Ragdoll ending up in a shelter so I started Ragdoll Rescue NorthWest. I jumped in with both feet and started a yahoo group.
I did not intend to foster, as I already had six cats of my own. I soon found out that cats cannot be saved from kill shelters unless the foster homes are available. So I ended up fostering with a lot of financial help from my great members who donate. If it were not for them I could not afford to help so many cats in need!
Please become a Member of our RRNW Yahoo Group and join us in our effort to rescue!!
