It is with deep and inexpressible sadness that we must advise that our incomparable leader and president for 30 years, Annamarie Taylor, passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack at the end of April. We will truly miss her, and all agreed that we could not continue without her.

We were fortunate to find two excellent organizations, PALS and FACT, that have helped us by taking, or finding placement, for all of our remaining AU shelter cats. And PALS will be moving into our former Peabody location on the first of September. We hope you will support these organizations as you would have Animal Umbrella as they continue theirs and Annamarie's work of rescuing, caring for, and finding homes for stray homeless cats.

AU will cease operation on September1st. Thank you beyond words for all your years of support and friendship. We couldn't have done all of this without you. Animal Umbrella

Two sweet kitties find a new home:
We received a call from a concerned man whose daughter was rushed to the hospital and could no longer take care of her cats. They were left alone a day before a major storm. We asked the man to get them before the storm and bring them to our vet where they would be vetted and safe and he did! Mango and Fee are very bonded to each other so we were happy to rehome them together in a new stable place a few days after their surrender. They are happy together again.

More rescues during the pandemic:
Sara Beth was rescued years ago in Revere during a snow storm. She was in a terrible condition but we brought her back to health after a lot of care.
Once recovered she found a home in New Hampshire where she lived for ten years. Unfortunately, her owner died and someone let her out to wander. Neighbors found her and she was surrendered to a rescuer. Animal umbrella learned what had happened and requested that she be returned to us. She was rehomed and she now lives a happy life in her new home. It is true that cats have 9 lives!! Here is the sweetheart in her new home!

Animal Umbrella has continued rescuing abandoned cats during the pandemic!
Bella was relocated from home to home because she was spraying. At 13, she had limited chances to find a home due to this problem. However, we took her to our veterinarian, Dr. Simonelli, who determined that she had never been spayed and that when she would be in heat, she would spray. Bella was successfully spayed and found a new home where she is thriving!

This is a really nice effort in Betty White's name. She was a beautiful lover of animals of all kinds. Thank you. If you care to participate, our Donate button goes directly to our donation website.
