I am Angie Koczkur founder of the Society and I started this 7 years ago when I moved to Merritt and would see all these homeless sick cats in the downtown core. Upon going to the City and asking for help to no evail I found out that they hand out traps and let citizens do whatever they wanted with the animal and further investigating showed the local vets do not give people a break on sterilizing but 65% of Merritt is either low income, disabled or fixed income so they are just adding to the problem. I want to make it stop and over the years have put myself 40,000.00 in debt. The shelter originally started in my home but then the City said I was breaking the by law of 2 animals per household so I had to open a shelter to the tune of 2500.00 plus a month. I currently have 500+ cats and 20 dogs under my umbella and need desperate help, a piece of property for a Sanctuary would be nice. I do it cause they can not speak nor help themselves so I am their voice and their help for sterilizing/vaccinating and finding their forever home.
