FORT WORTH MAN PASSES AWAY AND LEAVES $100,000 TO THE ANIMAL RESCUE WHO GAVE HIM HIS CAT!!!!

Years ago, Animal Hope Pet in Fort Worth adopted out a cat named Thomas to Dr. Philip Roos, a man in his 90s.

The rescue says, “Some organizations hesitate to adopt animals to older adults because of the possibility that the person may predecease the pet. We have always believed the opposite: that companionship, comfort, purpose, and unconditional love matter at every stage of life.

A month ago, we were informed that Dr. Roos had passed away and had left our shelter a gift of more than $100,000 through his estate.

When we read his obituary, we learned about the remarkable life he lived. Dr. Roos fled Denmark ahead of the N**i occupation during World War II. He attended Stanford University while still in high school. He went on to dedicate his life to psychology in both clinical and administrative roles, helping countless people over the decades.

But what moved us most was the final line of the obituary:

“He is survived by his daughter, Valerie, and his cat, Thomas.”

That sentence has stayed with us.

We often talk about rescuing animals and finding them homes because we know it changes the animals’ lives. But sometimes we are reminded just how profoundly those animals change human lives too.

Many of us come to animal welfare because we have experienced loss, hardship, loneliness, or grief ourselves. We do this work hoping to make the world a little kinder and a little better. Stories like this remind us there is enormous power in the connection between people and animals.

Thomas found a home.
But Thomas also gave companionship, purpose, comfort, and love to someone who clearly cherished him deeply.

We are profoundly grateful to Dr. Roos for this extraordinary gift and for allowing us to be one small part of his story. His generosity will help us continue finding homes, hope, and healing for animals — and for people — for many years to come.”

WOW!!!! $100,000!!!!! What a gift! 💙💙💙

Field & Garden Cats (aka "Working Whiskers") Need Your Help!

Do you have a little extra outdoor space—maybe it’s a workshop, greenhouse, storage property, barn, covered porch or a few acres of quiet land? You may be the perfect match for some special kitties in need of safe placement.

Animal Rescue Connections (ARC) and Bulverde Area Humane Society (BAHS) are working hand-in-hand. Our two organizations are stronger together and with our community stepping in, we can find better futures for these independent cats lovingly called "Working Whiskers". With the help of caring people like you who provide daily food, fresh water and a warm, dry, safe place to rest, they can thrive outdoors and naturally help keep rodent populations under control.

South Texas is facing a very high feral cat population. While working to trap and fix cats to control numbers, some are trapped in areas where it’s unsafe to return them so we must find humane alternatives. Placements like this truly save lives.

All cats eligible for relocation are fixed, vaccinated and healthy. Contact ARC for more details or go to our web page to learn how we manage the entire relocation process for you.

Together, we can give these incredible "Working Whiskers" a safe place to call home.

🐱 Zilla (short for Godzilla) – a brown tabby who loves her food
🐱 Ling Ling (means darling or little girl) – a beautiful Tortie Point Siamese
🐱 Meechee (Itlian meaning friend) – a gentle Lynx Point Siamese

Understanding the Cat Ladies

People love judging women who have cats.But it’s not really about the cats.It’s about what they represent.Cats don’t perform. They don’t obey. They don’t beg...
