Worcester Animal Rescue League

Last but certainly not least... today we would like to introduce you to survivor Cyndy.

She is the hardest one to look at. We know.

She is a visible reminder of what she must have endured on that dreadful day. While this wound looks much better now, I felt this particular photo was important to share because it is so powerful. They say your scars are proof of your strength, and Cyndy is incredibly strong.

She survived.

She's here.

And for that, we are grateful.

Taking a deep breath and being completely transparent with all of you... Cyndy will likely be the toughest one for us.

She is still very scared and is having a difficult time adjusting to shelter life. Her eyes grow wide when someone approaches her cage. Every day, multiple times a day, we try. Quiet voices. Slow movements. Gentle patience. But it's clear that Cyndy will need more time than the others.

And that's okay.

We can't even begin to imagine what she went through.

So today, we're asking for your help.

Every share could help Cyndy find the person she is meant to be with.

When that person comes to meet her, Cyndy may not be ready to be touched. She may only be able to be spoken to softly and visited with through her cage. When her person comes along and accepts Cyndy exactly as she is, we'll simply place her safely in a carrier, send her home, and let her process yet another major change in her life at her own pace.

We are looking for a very patient, understanding home for Cyndy. She is able to live with other cats, but we are still asking for a home with no dogs, or kids. Fast movements scare her.

She survived what was probably the worst day of her life.

Now, we're trying to help her find the best days of her life.

Interested in meeting Cyndy?

Our walk-in cat adoption hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12–4 PM.

Earlier this year, our supporters came together to help fund critical repairs to the roof of our shelter.

Thanks to your generosity, we successfully raised the funds needed to complete this project. While the work could not begin immediately due to weather conditions and project timing considerations, we're excited to share that repairs are now officially underway!

Today, we're excited to share the progress that your support made possible!

This roof protects not only our building, but also the thousands of animals who pass through our doors on their journey to new homes.

From all of us at WARL, thank you for making this project possible. Your support is helping preserve this shelter and its mission for years to come.

We can’t do this work without you 💛
