It is with profound sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend, Lynn Chesebrough. Lynn was one of our most dedicated volunteers as well as one of the kindest and purest humans we have ever met. She was our hero… she did so much to help the animals including assisting with partner store adoptions and helping to train new volunteers. She also fostered some of our most shut-down kitties with amazing turnarounds within a week. These kitties were able to find loving homes due to her rehabilitation skills.

Recently, Lynn also started helping facilitate adoptions at Darbster Kitty during our open hours. She always made sure to give the more nervous kitties extra, extra amounts of love and compassion. Her unwavering love and compassion for our cats was undeniable. Lynn was always willing to do ANYTHING we possibly could need help with–including dishes and laundry!

Lynn Marie Chesebrough, nee Sowerby passed away in her sleep on February 23rd, 2022, at 57 years old. In her honor, her family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Darbster Rescue. And so, this angel continues to be the wings to help us save as many animals as we can. Especially the nervous babies she loved so much. We love you Lynn, and you will be forever missed.
