Founder, Judie Brown being
nominated for Cat Hero of the Year
[
News Herald article written by Jenny May on 9/26/08 ]
To the more than 200 rescued felines housed at Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue in Concord
Township, founder Judie Brown is viewed as nothing short of a hero.
With a little help
from the community, Brown, who operates the sanctuary for abandoned, sick and abused cats, could
receive that recognition nationally. Brown has been selected as one of 10 finalists in the Animal
Planet “Cat Hero of the Year” contest.
Between 12:01 a.m. Monday, September 29 and
11:59 p.m. October 13, 2008, people can help propel Brown and the nonprofit organization to first
place by voting for her online at www.animalplanet.com. Only one vote per e-mail address
will be accepted. The first-place winner of the contest will receive a $5,000 donation to his
or her organization.
“This really is quite an honor,” said Brown, who with her husband,
Tom, founded Caroline's Kids eight years ago. “It’s very humbling to have someone think enough
of us to even participate in the finals.”
Brown was nominated for the contest in March
by shelter volunteer Kris Lennon. In her nomination letter, Lennon explained how Brown and Caroline's Kids staff rescued a cat named Phoenix, who had been left for dead on the side of a road, nearly
frozen to death with garbage stuck to his fur. After shelter staff nursed the cat back to health,
Lennon adopted him. The incident is just one of many heartwarming endings that have come out
of Caroline's Kids, Lennon said.
Officials from Animal Planet said a total of 8,292
people from across the U.S. were nominated for the “Cat Hero of the Year” contest and another
online Animal Planet contest called “Hero of the Year.” The two contests are separate and voters
can vote for Brown only in the “Cat Hero of the Year” category. A panel of judges determined
the finalists for each contest based on level of commitment and time devoted to their cause;
level of accomplishment and impact of actions; and inspirational value, sincerity and credibility,
said Laura Sullivan, vice president of marketing for Animal Planet Media. “Animal Planet’s Hero
of the Year contest recognizes the unsung heroes of the animal community,” Sullivan said. “Every
day our finalists give selflessly of themselves for the welfare of animals, and Animal Planet
is honored to recognize the extraordinary efforts of these animal advocates.”
Brown,
a Mayfield Heights resident, said the contest prize of a $5,000 donation is much needed for Caroline's Kids. Food, litter, medicine, maintenance and utilities for the sanctuary total $15,000 a month.
In addition, the building is in need of a new roof.
If she wins, Brown will need to
show Animal Planet, via photos or video, how the shelter used the prize. She said those who vote
for her will be showing support for the shelter cats, volunteers and staff. “There are many,
many people behind the scenes that have made it possible for us to get this far,” Brown said.
“Caroline's Kids would not be here without people like my husband, Tom, and the dedicated volunteers
and staff that work behind the scenes.”
