Buttons is a 12-year-old Beagle who is soon to join
us as a resident, coming from North Carolina. He
had been surrendered by his person who is
terminally ill, but was not adjusting to shelter life
and was rapidly declining. Journey’s End received
a call, and was told of his plight, and he will be
joining us soon. We are sometimes amazed that so
many people in faraway places have heard of us!
Buttons will soon join Muffin and Lacy, and their
space will be known as the “Senior Salon.”
Muffin is a 17-year-old Lab mix, brought to us by
animal control. Muffin is amazingly healthy for her
age. Her owners are both terminally ill and Muffin
had lived all her life with them. A kind animal
control officer intervened contacted us, and
brought her to Journey’s End.
On her first evening with us, she had to be given
fluids, and was reluctant to accept the food we
manually put into her mouth. But the following
morning, we passed the test and she began
gobbling food, especially special senior dog treats.
Muffin is now eating well, wagging her tail, and
loves to cuddle up in a cat bed. Another of our
seniors, our quiet, gentle Lacy, is Muffin’s
roommate and companion now, and they are
becoming very fond of each other.

Farewell to Sherlock
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved troublemaker, Sherlock the
goat. He came to us at less than a year old, having been raised as a high
school farm project and narrowly missing being sold at an auction. He was
very friendly and thought nothing of knocking down the fence to follow
people. He eventually became as strong as an ox and liked to bully staff
members by pinning them in a corner or trying to knock them down. (The
only thing he feared was water from the hose, which we had to keep handy
at all times.) He was definitely our alpha goat, but he lived in peace with
the other goats and sheep. He always had a twinkle in his eye and what
seemed like a smile on his face. RIP Sherlock.
Tigger no longer lives in isolation! He had been in a cage at first,
due to his splinted leg fractures with a cast, but he is now able to
come out into the kitchen for a limited time. He has ventured to the
adjoining room’s couch where the dogs are, and is beginning to
show interest in seeking more adventures. He has continued to
return to his open cage, where he still seems to feel a sense of
security, but before long, we fully expect he’ll feel safe enough to
freely roam!
Bonnie is a small 1-1/2-year-old terrier mix who is paraplegic. We
will never know her whole story, but last December, she was taken to
a vet in Orlando to be euthanized. The vet kept her until three weeks
ago, when they called Journey’s End. Since coming to us, she is being
kept in her own space, due to her small size, until her wheels arrive.
When we first got her, she shook continually and was petrified of
being picked up. She has almost stopped shaking now, but she is still
anxious over sudden movements. She seems very frightened of being
hurt, and we suspect she was a victim of cruelty. But now she is safe
with us, and she barks to be cuddled and for treats, and once she is in
our arms, she is content. Bonnie is becoming much calmer, and we’re
hopeful that in time, this sweet dog will feel completely safe, knowing
she is finally loved.

CAT HOUSE FUND
Finally, we see a light at the end of the tunnel! After receiving multiple
estimates, we have found a contractor we are confident in entrusting with this
special project. We were in a state of shock at the estimate for the work—
$130,000—until we became aware of the full extent of the work required,
which also involved finding an architect who could provide suitable building
parameters specific to the needs of cats.
Much of the cost is due to the need for demolition and rebuilding of the
entire front section of the Cat House. An entirely new electrical system is
needed, and there will be a new metal roof, as well as a split air conditioning
unit, which is much more efficient than the small units we have now. There
will also be special germ-resistant vinyl flooring, and it will be never need to
be replaced.
Now that everything is in place to finally begin this long-needed project, the
next step is to raise the necessary funds. If you'd like to donate to this project,
please specify "Cat House" on your check or with your online donation.
And please help us to spread the word, so we can continue to provide a safe
and healthy home for the cats. Our supporters have been our animals' angels
throughout the years, and we’re so thankful for your continued support!

Attitude (left) came here as a tiny young pig who couldn’t use his hind legs and was about to be put down. He soon outgrew the paralysis (possibly a nerve problem) and is now estimated at over 700 pounds.Gretel (right) is a sweet Nubian goat who came to us after being injured in a dog attack at her previous home. Her best friend is Banjo the sheep, and they sometimes have sparring matches before settling down and resting together. I came in for a massage
but all I got was a pedicure!I don’t need cleaning, I’m a pig!
