Rosie Maries Animal Haven (RMAH) is 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill animal
shelter located in southern Louisiana near the city of Thibodaux. RMAH was founded in 2003. We began
rescuing and adopting cats and dogs in the city of Thibodaux in 1999. The city of Thibodaux
neither had nor has the means of providing for the abandoned animals of its city.
In our ten year history we have
rescued 1000 dogs and cats and we presently have 26 dogs and 250 cats in residence. All our animals are vetted
and neutered. Our animals are non-caged or kenneled and have secure free roaming areas as well as heated and cooled
areas.
We work closely with the Humane Society, ARNO. We are also a member of the American Humane Society.
The Wild Life Center in Baton Rouge helps us with our abandoned Opossums and Racoons.
In 2007 we placed
a portable feeding building in the city of Thibodaux. We feed appoximately 40 to 50 cats abandoned by the city of Thibodaux.
This is very costly, but without it these animals would be living a life of pain and suffering.
Veterinarian
bills are paid by RMAH, and there are a few of our animals that are in desperate need of medical
treatment. Companion animals enrich the lives of countless Lafourche parish residents, but overpopulation, abuse and
neglect are widespread problems. We as individuals can only do so much, but with your support there is so much more that can
be done.
