On Wednesday, October 9th, Panther Ridge was severely damaged by a direct hit from a large tornado during Hurricane Milton. While we are so grateful that all of the cats and humans at Panther Ridge are unharmed, the damage to the facility was devastating. We had roof damage, massive trees down, fencing damage, and debris everywhere.
We just want to take a moment to say thank you to all the amazing people who have come and volunteered or donated to us after this disaster. We are working hard to rebuild as quickly as we can so that we can continue to provide the best home possible for our amazing cats. Repairs to the enclosures, buildings, and grounds are well-underway, but even with the support we have received, the costs are adding up. If you would like to continue to support our repair efforts, you can make donations easily on our Facebook, Instagram, by cash or check (mailed to 2143 D Rd Loxahatchee Groves FL 33470), and online: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/1818710
If you are a contractor, electrician, welder, carpenter, or work in construction or landscaping, we are seeking in-kind donations of materials or project work in your field of qualification/expertise. In particular, we are still in need of help replacing gravel, dirt, sand, sod, and trees. If you are able to provide any of these services, please reach out to info@pantherridge.org.
Thank you so much for your support! We still have a long way to go, but with your support, we know we can rebuild Panther Ridge.
