Alison Buckley (center) has been working with cats and dogs for 30
years, helping outdoor strays and working on animal rights issues. She is always there to help any animal in
need, but is especially fond of cats.
In 2009, due to the economic downturn, Alison lost her home.
She started the painful process of placing all of her rescued cats in new
homes. It was a full time job for over a
year, posting ads and visiting veterinarian offices in four counties. She was the lone cat lady at many dog
adoption events. She refused to send her
cats to a shelter.
