Hi! This is Ella. My Air Force family moved to Colorado last summer. Just before we moved here, our sweet Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix, Teddy, passed away at a ripe old age.

I started volunteering at Wild Blue October 2017. I am at the sanctuary 3 or 4 times a week and in addition to being in the sanctuary I’m helping Mike build Kaylene’s Kradle. I was raised on a farm that had dairy cattle so there were always cats around. I was always trying to sneak…
I’ve been volunteering at Animal Rescues and Shelters for over 35 years and have always felt that I get so much more in return than I give. The experience has made me (I hope) a better person. When we relocated to the Colorado Springs area in November 2018, along with our two senior foster failures,…

I am known as the Cat Whisperer here at Wild Blue Cats! and started volunteering back in January 2018. Immediately I fell in love with all the unique kitties, especially the scared, shy, more difficult cats that have gone through a traumatic past and need much needed love, patience, and kindness for them to recover…

Hi, my name is Laura and I learned about Wild Blue a few years ago after speaking with a staff member from Best Friends. Rick and I were looking for a local rescue to donate to that had the same goals as Best Friends. I was delivering some fleece beds I had sewn for the…
Hi there! My name is Gen and I’ve been a volunteer at Wild Blue for about fifteen months. I started volunteering when I was seven years old and haven’t stopped since. My husband, Joe, says that I can’t say “no” to anyone in need. 🤣🤣🤣 My youngest daughter and I help out in the sanctuary…
