The Last Post is a large, private animal sanctuary, situated on thirty-five acres in rural Connecticut. Founded in 1982 by famous radio talk-show host Pegeen Fitzgerald, a lovely woman devoted to animals, the sanctuary is home to more than 200 cats, along with a variety of other domestic and farm animals. The Last Post's primary purpose is to provide a safe, home-like surrounding for animals whose previous guardians have died or entered nursing homes. Animals are left to the Last Post in wills, or special arrangements made by people no longer able to care for their cherished friends. Most of the animals at Last Post are up for adoption, unless previous guardians stipulate otherwise. All animals not adopted live out their natural lives at the sanctuary.
