Veterinary care
Rescued cats are treated at the Clear Lake clinic Lew has worked with for years. Care like that is what donations will help carry.

The story
Twenty years, mostly unseen
Lew is an electrical contractor in Lake County, California. Before that, he spent decades as an engineer, working in radio frequency and microwave systems. And for the last twenty years, through all of it, he has been doing something quieter: animal rescue.
The work is not glamorous. It is colonies of cats that need looking after, day in and day out. It is trips to a trusted veterinary clinic in Clear Lake, the one he has worked with more than any other. It is about three colonies’ worth of lives, carried year after year at his own expense.
The name is older than the paperwork. In 2012, Lew taught a seminar for YouthWorks on Lake County ecology, solar power, electric cars, and animal rescue. The idea for the name came out of that seminar, and it stayed with him. Now it is becoming something real.

“This nonprofit, the idea is to allow me to operate at the same level, only not out of pocket.”
