The kitties at Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue and we, Tom and Judie
Brown, and the staff and volunteers at our no-kill cat sanctuary,
Julius' House, in Concord, Ohio, need your help to provide for the
cats in our care.
Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue is a non-profit charitable organization
dedicated to the care and humane treatment of aged, chronically
ill and abused cats.
We want to
provide an alternative to euthanasia for cats that are not suffering,
but yet have been abandoned or surrendered by their owners.
Our free roam facility provides a last chance for the "furkids"
whose lives would otherwise come to a premature end. Our inspiration,
Caroline, was one such creature who found sanctuary with compassion.

Founder,
Judie Brown being nominated for Cat Hero of the Year
[
News Herald article written by Jenny May on 9/26/08 ]
To the more than 200 rescued felines housed at Caroline's
Kids Pet Rescue in Concord Township, founder Judie Brown
is viewed as nothing short of a hero.
With a little help from the community, Brown, who operates
the sanctuary for abandoned, sick and abused cats, could
receive that recognition nationally. Brown has been selected
as one of 10 finalists in the Animal Planet “Cat Hero
of the Year” contest.
Between 12:01 a.m. Monday, September 29 and 11:59 p.m.
October 13, 2008, people can help propel Brown and the
nonprofit organization to first place by voting for her
online at www.animalplanet.com. Only one vote
per e-mail address will be accepted. The first-place winner
of the contest will receive a $5,000 donation to his or
her organization.
“This really is quite an honor,” said Brown, who with
her husband, Tom, founded Caroline's Kids eight years
ago. “It’s very humbling to have someone think enough
of us to even participate in the finals.”
Brown was nominated for the contest in March by shelter
volunteer Kris Lennon. In her nomination letter, Lennon
explained how Brown and Caroline's Kids staff rescued
a cat named Phoenix, who had been left for dead on the
side of a road, nearly frozen to death with garbage stuck
to his fur. After shelter staff nursed the cat back to
health, Lennon adopted him. The incident is just one of
many heartwarming endings that have come out of Caroline's
Kids, Lennon said.
Officials from Animal Planet said a total of 8,292 people
from across the U.S. were nominated for the “Cat Hero
of the Year” contest and another online Animal Planet
contest called “Hero of the Year.” The two contests are
separate and voters can vote for Brown only in the “Cat
Hero of the Year” category. A panel of judges determined
the finalists for each contest based on level of commitment
and time devoted to their cause; level of accomplishment
and impact of actions; and inspirational value, sincerity
and credibility, said Laura Sullivan, vice president of
marketing for Animal Planet Media. “Animal Planet’s Hero
of the Year contest recognizes the unsung heroes of the
animal community,” Sullivan said. “Every day our finalists
give selflessly of themselves for the welfare of animals,
and Animal Planet is honored to recognize the extraordinary
efforts of these animal advocates.”
Brown, a Mayfield Heights resident, said the contest prize
of a $5,000 donation is much needed for Caroline's Kids.
Food, litter, medicine, maintenance and utilities for
the sanctuary total $15,000 a month. In addition, the
building is in need of a new roof.
If she wins, Brown will need to show Animal Planet, via
photos or video, how the shelter used the prize. She said
those who vote for her will be showing support for the
shelter cats, volunteers and staff. “There are many, many
people behind the scenes that have made it possible for
us to get this far,” Brown said. “Caroline's Kids would
not be here without people like my husband, Tom, and the
dedicated volunteers and staff that work behind the scenes.”
