Cookie’s Place

Sponsor all the cats in Cookie’s Place for just $25 per month! That’s less than a dollar per feline! Collectively, all sponsors together can make a big impact on the everyday needs of our feline leukemia positive cats. Will you help? Sometimes, it’s emotionally difficult to sponsor individual FeLV+ cats – they may pass quickly and some of our sponsors have lost several of their sponsored cats all too soon. That’s an emotional hit that is too hard for some to endure. We all focus on the quality of their lives rather than the quantity, but even knowing that, it’s difficult to say goodbye.

For those that would like to sponsor the entire Cookie’s Place area, let us tell you a little about it.

Cookie’s Place is a happy place, filled with love and light. It is the largest area in the Sanctuary since we have so many FeLV+ residents. Cookie’s Place consists of three large rooms filled with windows, each with an attached screened deck to laze about on. One of the rooms is called Cookie’s Annex because it is separated from the other two rooms and is home to the cats that are timid, shy, or just need a little quiet space. Chairs, benches, hidey spots, and shelves abound in each area. Warm breezes fill the deck spaces and, if it gets too hot or too cold, the cats simply hop up on a chair or a bed in their climate-controlled room. Volunteers always have a cat nestled in their laps, and the staff provide loving care.

Cookie’s Place is named after Cookie Princess Warrior who contracted leukemia at age 12. Before that, she lived as Top Cat in the house area and ruled with a kind paw. We think she may have been PCR positive or else contracted leukemia from a cat that had recently been exposed but was still showing negative. She was, simply, the best cat. She painted and sold many of her art pieces to support her fellow felines. Many of her works hang proudly in central Texas homes. She was indeed an Artista and a Diva and left this world too soon. Cookie’s Place, built in her honor, has given a safe harbor to hundreds of cats. Rest in Peace, Cookiecita – your legacy lives on.

Sponsoring Cookie’s Place means helping cats that had little chance before Shadow Cats. It is a lifesaving gift and, when combined with other lifesaving gifts, will make a world of difference for all the cats that reside here. With all the health issues that feline leukemia cats have, our best hope for providing for them is through your sponsorships. Our mission is to help them live their very best lives, no matter how long or short it may be. Making it count, one day at a time.

Sponsor Cookie’s Place and Rule the World!
