We want to honor the memory of Kim Flythe Sabbagh, the sister of our dear friend Angie Holt, who is also our biggest supporter. Kim was passionate about wildlife rescue, especially coonhound rescue.
Along with being a registered nurse, she was also an artist, photographer and pianist. When we talked to Kim's sister (Angie), she said about Kim: “If she knew you, she loved you,” and that Kim was "my hero, my rescuer and I looked up to her.” Kim loved making family events special and she liked to travel. She was proud of her NC, VA and German heritage. She had a great sense of humor and was active in ministering to all ages through her church. Kim and Angie worked side by side at an animal hospital for a couple of years. She established "The Wildlife Building" on her own property and was active in other animal rescue organizations. The family asked that if you wish to honor Kim, please make a donation to: Carolina Coonhound Rescue, PO Box 80223, Charleston, SC 29416 or Holly’s Nest Animal Rescue, Inc., PO Box 4086, Sanford, NC 27331 |

The first time I visited Orton Pond was in 1968 with my Dad Gary. I didn’t see any alligators at that time, but I remember him warning me that one might eat me. Now, 52 years later, my Dad and I returned to Orton Pond, where I got to introduce him to my favorite alligator, Beau. My Dad will be 80 years old in October, yet he walked the roads alongside me, picking up trash, cleaning Beau’s habitat and just enjoying the beauty that surrounds that area. We also visited Fort Anderson/Old Brunswick Town in October.
Anybody who knows me knows I am truly the definition of a “Daddy’s Girl” and I will always, always remember the times I’ve spent with him, not only at Orton, but in Brunswick County, NC. He has supported me in every single thing I’ve ever attempted to do. Back in 2010, when I first fell in love with alligators, I must admit, he thought I was a little bit crazy. Through the years he has learned just how important alligators are to me and how hard I have worked to run this organization. To be at my favorite place in the world, with my favorite alligator AND my favorite person, is a memory I will cherish forever!

We are just as passionate about cats as we are about Alligators!
I lost my cat Lambert to Stage 4 Renal Disease (kidney failure) in 2017.
I have had the idea for the past few months that I wanted to do something to
honor his memory and hopefully help others going through the same issues
that we experienced with Lambert.
We are so very excited to announce our newest endeavor …
THE LAMBERT MCNEILL FOUNDATION!
We will be launching the Foundation in the fall.
This will NOT take away from our work with the Alligators,
but it is a project that is very near and dear to my heart.
