About the Author

Having grown up with Ann, I feel qualified to comment on her integrity and sincerety. We actually spent our teenage years on a plantation in the Huger area, and our father was a caretaker. There were no animals there except the wild variety and The barn cats. We had an eskimo spitz named Stanley. He had a phobia about snakes and attacked every one he saw. This resulted in three serious snakebites and gave Ann the opportunity to start her love of helping wounded animals. Ann has always loved cats and I can’t ever remember her being without one in her life. She was born on Estherville plantation and that is where she got her name: Ester Ann Worsham Phillips. Ann married Lamar Phillips on August 17,1963. They had two children and six grandchildren. She lost her Lamar in 2014, and is a widow and lives with her cat Charlie.
