(Michigan City, IN) – A Michigan City animal shelter is ringing within the new yr with a sizeable donation.
On Thursday Fried’s Cat Shelter obtained a go to from John Low, who represents the Low Family Foundation in Niles, Michigan. He introduced with him an enormous test value $50,000.
Shelter Director Sandra O’Dell says the donation was fairly surprising. “[The Lows] had been here many years ago, around 1985,” O’Dell defined. “And they have some mutual friends of the shelter, who spoke very highly of us. And this foundation was just formed this year, and they were looking for shelters and other nonprofit organizations to give gifts to. We were chosen as one… it was a very, very, very nice surprise.”
Fried’s Car Shelter was based by Hans and Lucille Fried, who immigrated from Nazi Germany in 1939. In 1977 they purchased an old roadside motel in Michigan City and turned it into a no-kill, cageless shelter for homeless and deserted cats.
O’Dell says Fried’s Cat Shelter is kicking off a fundraising marketing campaign to interchange a portion of their present building, which is badly in want of reconstruction.
The shelter is positioned on IN-212 in Michigan City simply throughout from the airport. You can go to their web site at
