Virginia “Ginny” Jontes saw a crisis she couldn’t ignore—rescues overwhelmed, animals turned away, and veterinary costs pushing organizations to the brink. She didn’t wait for someone else to step in. She built the solution. She built Heidi’s Village—a game-changing safety net for animals and the rescue community that fights for them.
More than a shelter, more than a clinic, Heidi’s Village is a first-of-its-kind resource center designed to strengthen rescue organizations and provide a lifeline for the most vulnerable animals. Subsidized boarding and affordable veterinary care help rescues focus on saving lives, while the neonate nursery fills a critical gap, giving newborn kittens—who would otherwise face an uncertain fate—the specialized care they need to survive and thrive.
But the work isn’t done. Every life saved, every pet healed, every rescue supported depends on people who care—people like you. Ginny built it. Will you join her in keeping Heidi’s Village strong?
