A Tribute to Ginny
Ginny’s unique talents in locating sick and injured cats had rendered her numerous appearances in CNN, Animal Planet and major news. Her rescue stories were illustrated by two national best selling books: The Dog who Rescues Cats and the Blessing of the Animals. August 25th 2005 was a sad day for many, marked by the death of Ginny, the beloved pet of her owner Philip Gonzalez as well as the beloved friend of hundreds of cats and humans alike. Recognized for her unique love of felines, Ginny devoted her life to rescuing countless cats and kittens around her Long Island home and the surrounding region. Although she experienced a long and eventful life of seventeen years, she will be sadly missed by those she loved and cared for as well as by those who loved and cared for her in return.
Ginny's legacy can be carried on through your continued support of the Ginny Fund, established by Gonzalez to assists in the care of disabled, lost and homeless cats like those rescued and loved by Ginny.
