      The Cat who came for Christmas. During the summer and fall of 2013, Home for Life had a mysterious visitor to the sanctuary property ...

    • Snowball

      Snowball is a dainty white cat, a spayed female, with soulful yellow eyes and a traumatic past, though she is less than two years old.

    • Raha
      Hannah giving Raha a hug

      The end of summer had a dramatic conclusion with the admission of Raha to Home for Life. Raha, whose name means " free" and " peaceful" in Persian was accepted at Home for Life from the Vafa Animal Shelter. He is believed to be not more than age 3, a male ( now neutered) and a mix of sighthound and Anatolian Shepherd, a type of shepherd dog found in the Mideast. About 10% of Home for Life's total animal population is from foreign countries.  Read our blog post about why Home for Life helps these special cats and dogs: http://homeforlifesanctuary.blogspot.com/2016/01/home-for-lifes-international-rescues.html.
