An interview with Laura King, Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary
How do you brighten our community?
Honoring the bond between caregivers and their pets, the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary's Senior Paw Project provides critically needed pet food, veterinary care assistance and foster/respite care to senior pet guardians struggling to keep or care for their animals.
Who do you serve in our community?
CVHAS Senior Paw Project serves 420 pets of older adults, throughout Fairfield County and the state of CT.
What are you most proud of?
Caring for the pets of older adults, eliminating the difficult decision to have to surrender their pet to a shelter due to financial constraints to properly care for their beloved furry family member. By ensuring the pet has a standard wellness veterinary care visit annually and receives adequate pet food, the pet is healthier and their pet owner may focus on nutrition and care needs for themselves.
What are some of your future impact goals?
One of our future impact goals is to ensure that children experiencing crisis receive immediate effective intervention and counsel, emergency shelter, medical and psychological care, and connection to support services they require; Furthermore, to provide children the individualized medical, therapeutic, educational and family services necessary to stabilize, heal from trauma and achieve developmental gains; and to maintain a strong community awareness and presence by providing prevention and outreach services that give children, youth, and the adults with whom they interact the information and skills needed to identify and address problems before they are in crisis;
