The vision for SGI Cat Allies began when we three cat guardians, Helen Gore, Cathy Buell and June Crawford, started working together to help community cats and humans live together in harmony on beautiful St George Island in Franklin County Florida.  We saw a need for and had a vision to create an organization, SGI Cat Allies, to guide us on that journey.  Since that November 2013 inception we have trapped/neutered/vaccinated/returned 2,473 Franklin County felines.  We continue to work diligently to fulfill our mission to become the best TNVR organization we can dream of being. Please join us!

Prior to becoming obsessed with helping the plight of endless litters of defenseless kittens,  Cathy retired from 40 years as a Physical Education/Special Education teacher with DeKalb County (Georgia) School System.  She also holds a  U.S.C.G. Charter Boat Captain’s  license and is a former golf teaching professional.  A lifelong animal lover, Cathy has been actively rescuing/fostering and re-homing domestic animals since childhood.  She lives with 2 dogs, 3 cats and manages 2 colonies  of neutered/vaccinated community cats.

June Crawford
June owns and operates a busy, rewarding and successful pet sitting business in Aiken SC, Aiken Pet Sitters.  June has been coming to SGI for years and has always wanted to help the community cat population she has come to know and love on this beautiful island.  June grew up with pets and a deep love of all animals, and has never been long without one or more pets at home.  Today she is crazy in love with her small pride of rescued to forever-home yellow cats; one she rescued and adopted in Aiken and two yellow cat Gents who came to her from our TNR efforts on SGI.
