Trooper Hawkings

Happy New Year!! My goal for 2026 is to be relaxed as this goober, Dexter!!

Life with Dexter is never dull. This beautiful kitty makes me fall in love with him more each day.

Please help Troopie’ shelter. I would be so grateful if you could donate or share this post far and wide.

Friends - we desperately need your help!

Over the past three weeks, we've experienced a domino effect of structural, plumbing and electrical catastrophes at Felines & Canines. The brutal Chicago winter weather caused severe roof damage and overwhelmed our HVAC system, resulting in $11,000 worth of repairs. Last week, our original hot water heater and sump pumps gave out, causing flooding in our lower level dog kennels. We now need to replace both sump pumps, the water heater, and kennel flooring in dog isolation, totaling more than $24,000 in repairs. This is absolutely devastating to our program and I am frantically trying to raise funds to help cover the costs of these unexpected expenses.

We are nothing without a stable, fully-functional shelter, and we have more than 125 cats and dogs counting on us to keep them safe and comfortable. These repairs are essential and I must get them completed ASAP. If you are in a position to make a donation of any size, please, PLEASE consider doing so now. We are in a very overwhelming situation right now and desperately need your support. You can donate through FB, VENMO: , PAYPAL: [email protected] or mail a check to the address below.

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE MULTIPLE VENMO ADDRESSES.
The one here is the only valid account. If the last 4 of our phone number is asked, it's 0594. THANK YOU!

Thank you for being there when we need you most!!!
