Help Us Give Kitty Corner a Forever Home

It is time for Forever Love Rescue to plant it’s roots in Historic Gettysburg
Building a Brighter Tomorrow for the Cats of Gettysburg

Every cat deserves a safe place to call home. We’re hoping to give Kitty Corner one too!

Since 2013, Forever Love Rescue has been watering the seeds of this rescue and has been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the voiceless. Now it is time to plant those growing roots right here where it all began… in Gettysburg Pennsylvania!

What began in the home of our founders has grown into a community-supported rescue that provides shelter, veterinary care, love, and second chances to hundreds of cats and kittens every year. In 2015, we opened the doors of the original Kitty Corner on the west side of Gettysburg. It took hold as a wonderful little place to bring in volunteers and find homes for a dozen or so cats at a time. However, we quickly outgrew that little space! So in 2019 we moved to the historic side of town and began creating a welcoming, home-like environment where dozens of homeless cats and kittens could feel safe and loved while waiting for their forever families. We have also had the space to welcome about 100 volunteers to help us in this mission. Now, after more than a decade of rescuing cats and changing lives, we are ready to take the next big step in giving our little mission a permanent place in the building that we are thriving in!

Our Dream: A Permanent Home for Kitty Corner

Forever Love Rescue is excited to announce the launch of our Capital Campaign, with the goal of purchasing our permanent home for Kitty Corner right here in Adams County.. For years, we have rented this space that makes our work possible and we have made it ours along the way. While Kitty Corner has served us well as a rental, it is scary to think that we could someday be just one real estate sale away from having to relocate and start all over! Monthly rent also represents money that could otherwise help provide food, medical care, spay/neuter surgeries, and other essential services for the cats who depend on us. Owning our building would give us something truly invaluable: stability, security, and the opportunity to grow. We currently only use less than half of the space on this property daily so the room to grow is here!

A permanent home would allow us to:

  • Invest more in the cats by reducing ongoing rental expenses and direct more resources toward lifesaving care.
  • Plan for the future. Establish a lasting home for our rescue and the community we serve. – Create opportunities for growth. Explore ways to expand our space, services, and impact as resources allow.
  • Strengthen our commitment to Adams County and beyond.
  • Ensure that Kitty Corner remains a place of compassion, hope, and second chances for years to come.
More Than a Building

Our volunteers work tirelessly every day to rescue homeless cats, care for those who have been abandoned or neglected, find loving adoptive families, and address cat overpopulation through spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return programs. Our mission isn’t changing. We’re simply working to build a stronger foundation beneath it. We envision a future where Forever Love Rescue can continue to serve Adams County and our surrounding areas without the uncertainty of rented space, where every dollar can make an even greater impact, and where generations of cats will have a safe place to wait for the families who will love them.

Help Us Build That Future

This dream is bigger than any one person, volunteer, or organization. It will take the generosity of a community that has always believed in the value of every life. Whether through a one-time contribution, a larger campaign gift, or simply sharing our vision with others, there are many ways to be part of this exciting new chapter. Every gift brings us one step closer to giving Kitty Corner a forever home. We have spent years helping cats find their forever homes. Now, we’re asking our community to help us find ours. From our volunteers and the countless cats whose lives have been changed through your kindness, thank you for believing in our mission.

Together, We Build Hope

Help us create a brighter tomorrow, a more impactful future, and a permanent home where compassion for cats will always have a Gettysburg address. The price of this building is a fair one at $600,000 for over 5000 square feet in two buildings with private parking in a great neighborhood and is so close to the bustling tourist section of town. It truly is the purr-fect place for us! Phase one will be the amount needed to secure the sale and short-term financing.  Phase two will be the balance of the sale price so that we don’t have to make those monthly payments out of our operating expenses. And eventually phase three will be a much smaller amount to pay for any renovations or upgrades to make spaces more usable in our daily work here in the future.

We are off to a Great Start

Thanks to a very generous donation we are kicking off our campaign with $80,000 secured and are ready to make this dream a reality… finally!
