A Message from Our Favorite Foster...
Dear FIRS Friends,
My name is Colleen, and if we’ve met through a kitten or puppy adoption, a foster story, or a heartfelt goodbye, you know how deeply I care about every animal who crosses my path.
In 2024, with the support of fellow animal lovers, we founded Flip's Island Rescue & Sanctuary—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving cats, kittens, small dogs, and puppies a safe place to heal, grow, and find love.
This #GivingTuesday 2025—we’re asking for your help. Whether you adopted through me at FIRS or another rescue, shared a post, offered a kind word, or cheered for a tiny survivor, you have been part of this journey. Now, we invite you to be part of the next chapter.
Every donation makes a difference. Your gift helps us provide food, medical care, and compassionate support to animals with nowhere else to turn. It keeps our mission going—and growing—with heart, integrity, and community at the center.
Please consider supporting Flip’s Island Rescue & Sanctuary this Giving Tuesday, and share our story with fellow animal lovers. Together, we can save more lives and build the future these animals deserve.
With heartfelt thanks,
Flip's Island Rescue & Sanctuary
