Testimonials

I’m proud to provide the following testimonials in support of Wee Paws, written by recent visitors:

From Best Friends supporters, Joyce Clarke and Jack Pacetti:

We first visited Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary in November 2010 to deliver two senior cats from Orange County Shelter as we were enroute to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. Wee Paws immediately reminded us of a small scale Best Friends where cats receive the best of care. At Wee Paws cats are free to roam the sanctuary, which is remarkable for its cleanliness and variety of spaces for cats to play and sleep. There are no cages. Each cat has one-on-one care from Leigh-Ann and Nancy: fresh food is prepared daily; Leigh-Ann monitors the health of each cat and provides a detailed analysis of any sickness. It is truly a cat paradise. Wee Paws provides an essential and compassionate service in giving senior and disabled cats abandoned by others the chance to live out their lives in comfort, knowing love, and with dignity. We are enthusiastic in our support of Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary.

From professional animal transporter, Pat Lopez:

I have personally transported over a dozen cats and 1 very large dog to Leigh-Ann/Wee Paws, traveling to their original location in Las Vegas and to their new location in Pahrump.  My first transport in 2009 was 4 cats and a senior German Shepherd dog, named Mack, who would have been killed at California’s West Valley shelter if Wee Paws had not opened their heart and home to him.  Mack has filled out and is absolutely gorgeous and the picture of health.  I feared that one of the cats was not going to make the trip because she was very senior and very sick, but she did.  Almost 1 and 1/2 years later, I made a 2nd transport; this was to Wee Paws’ new location in Pahrump.  I took seven cats to Wee Paws and as I was being given the grand tour of their beautiful home, Leigh-Ann pointed out the sick cat I had transported 18 months earlier.  I could not believe my eyes at how this cat had made such a turnaround!  This senior, healthy and happy cat was running and playing like a 4-year old cat.  This is due to the great care that the animals are given at Wee Paws.  Leigh-Ann showed me the raw diet she feeds them.  Wee Paws is located in a small town just outside of Las Vegas and is a beautiful, clean home with with central air and heat, several rooms, bathrooms, the kitchen is very large as is the living room and dining area.  Wee Paws is specifically geared towards housing the cats and dogs who would otherwise have been killed if Leigh-Ann and Nancy did not take them into their home.  The cats have access to many litter boxes, plenty of fresh water and an abundance of toys and cat trees where they can lounge and relax when they are not playing.  The dogs have a huge fenced backyard, over an acre in size, with wild rabbits, hare, and quail for company.  The dogs are also fed a raw diet.  I have been to Wee Paws several times and every time I arrive, which is often unannounced, I have never noticed any unpleasant odors or smells from dirty litter boxes. I’ve told Leigh-Ann that her house doesn’t smell like even one cat lives there, let alone dozens of them.  If I was a dog or cat, I would want Wee Paws to rescue me.
