Nancie Anastopoulos ~ President, Board of Trustee, Foster, Transport

Founder of Community Cat Angels, Nancie wanted to be involved in rescue for as long as she can remember. Having loved animals her whole life, Nancie saw that thousands of homeless socialized cats whose lives are at risk daily and wondered where they were expected to go.  She realized that beyond socialized strays, there are at least 3x more ferals on the streets that get sick, seriously injured, and can’t care for themselves. Nancie started Community Cat Angels because rescue is who she is at her core, constantly spending every day in hopes of enriching the lives of as many cats as possible.  To love Nancie is to accept her love for the cats. The cats need her. The cats need us. She believes that together, we will make a difference.

Las Vegas Cat Rescue

Lois Allen ~ Fundraising, Donor, Mentor

A life-long cat lover, Lois Allen experienced first-hand how these animals could be abused and neglected by the general public. Thankfully, these sad and dejected critters made their way to her huge family farm in Wisconsin where they could take refuge in the barns and outbuildings and become working cats. No mouse in his right mind would ever come near the place.  Now, a retired speech therapist, Lois once again has the time to devote to helping felines. Her greatest wish is that she could pack up all of Las Vegas’ unwanted stray and feral cats and rehome them on a big farm where they would have room to roam and the opportunity to snuggle in the straw.

I hope to make a difference and bring awareness to the community that animals have hearts too. Let’s stop letting them down and breaking them. Please spay/neuter and keep your kitties indoors.

Lehnanne Gibbs ~ Social Media

Lehnanne comes by her love of animals naturally. Her mother was a lifelong animal rescuer and brought all sorts of animals home while Lehnanne was growing up. Over the years, Lehnanne has worked with both wild and domestic animals. When she was 10 years old she “ran away” to work at a horse stable across the road from her home. After a full day working the stalls and chores the barn manager sent her home, exhausted, with her little suitcase filled with stuffed animals and her favorite book in tow. She is a dedicated DogMom and Servant to Cats, although the cats would say she needs more training
