With an endless supply of compassion for felines in need, Margaret has also fostered many cats over the years, often the ones who needed the most help. “In fact, all of the animals that I’ve had as an adult probably were due to fostering issues,” she explained. “I frequently kept the ones that struggled to get adopted.”
Her awareness of Animal League America began decades ago with the unforgettable story of Scarlett. In 1996, firefighters in Brooklyn watched as the stray mother cat ran into a burning building again and again, carrying her kittens out one by one. By the time she finished, Scarlett had suffered severe burns, but all her babies were safe. “When I heard the story about Scarlett rescuing her kittens from a fire,” Margaret recalled, “it really just stuck in my mind.”
