The Cat Guardians shelter fire

O que mudou

• Forty-two cats have temporary housing arranged after a fire left Cat Guardians’ Lombard shelter uninhabitable. That means places for the displaced animals to go—but not yet a home for the volunteer rescue operation that has cared for stray and homeless cats for more than 35 years.
