Sunrise has A VERY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!! We have received a very large donation that has enabled us to purchase this beautiful building in Aroma Park! This building will house Sunrise Cat Rescue and Furry friends low cost spay and neuter clinic. Renovations will start soon and we will keep updates of our progress on Facebook. We have named the building HEXIES after our benefactor's cat. He is a huge cat lover and credits his kitty for bringing him luck making money in the Hex crypto currency market. The building is 5,000 squ feet and we are looking forward to having more space to rescue cats. Furry Friends low cost spay and neuter clinic is going to be operated by Dr Fedrow. She has been a long time advocate for rescue animals in this community. The clinic will be open to the public. We have many renovations to do and things to figure out, so wish us luck on this journ
