Tree House Humane Society Inc

Hello everyone,

My mom, Virginia Haumann, was a profound animal lover with a special connection to cats. Over her 82 years of life, she would even share her only can of tuna. For a dog, she would share the jar of peanut butter or her hamburger. She had no prejudice towards strays, sick or healthy; if a furry friend was near and seeking her attention, she wouldn't hesitate to help. Us kids were always glad to help her name the furry friends and assist when we could. Virginia never had riches nor any savings but always gave what little she had regardless of her situation. I am setting up this GoFundMe via her legacy to help as many less fortunate animals find true loving care. It would be wonderful if you could donate in her honor. Mom's slogan was "Furry lives matter." I picked Tree House Humane Society as she was a Chicago girl born and raised.

This fundraiser is to memorialize Scott T McLaughlin, who passed away on Monday, June 10, 2024. Scottie was a caring friend and a pure soul, and he will be missed terribly.

Anyone who knew Scottie knew he loved his cats as much as anything. Gritty and Rowdy were his world. But Scottie loved all kitties. We would like to honor this love by raising money to benefit Tree House Animal Foundation, which empowers communities of caregivers to protect, nurture, and support new solutions so no cat suffers.

Our main goal was to raise $1000. With those funds, we will be able to get a brick with Scottie's name on it. If we can reach $2500 or more, we can get Scottie on the Miracle Maker Donor Wall within the shelter. This supports vital services like affordable veterinary care, financial assistance for pet owners, and modern medical equipment for our center. See: https://treehouseanimals.org/ways-to-give/mocha/

$2,500+ for smaller tributes/names

$5,000+ for larger size tributes

$10,000+ for a cat-shaped tribute/recognition

These donations will be prominently displayed, creating a lasting legacy in your Scottie's honor. We think he would love to be remembered as a person who cared for cats. Any donation will help make an impact.
