Abstract:

The Goathouse Rescue is a no-kill animal shelter in Chatham County. Recently the shelter was highlighted by a New York Times article and featured on the Today show to cheer on elderly owner Siglinda Scarpa as a heroine to abandoned animals, almost all cats. Volunteers are speaking out about the overpopulation of animals at the refuge and potential health risks to feline and human alike.
