Phil and Patty Lane can’t turn a blind eye on a cat with one.The Lanes open their hearts and their home to cats that have gone feral, getting them fixed and helping them to find a forever home.
“People here in Marion know that we are feeding them and providing cat houses, so we get called a lot,” Patty said. “Recently, we rescued one from this freezing cold and had it here for about three days. We took him in to get fixed, shots and a chip, but he tested positive for feline HIV. They had to put him down because he couldn’t be around other cats. I was very emotional about it for days as he was so loving, so friendly and healthy looking.
