“As a part of our ‘Greatest Person’ series, we highlight Peachtree Corners resident Samantha Shelton who brings help and hope to cats and dogs through her no-kill cage-free shelters called Furkids.” 
Decatur resident Mary Stacy loves her feline friends – so much so she found a way to include them in her professional life. Her cat, Jack Hollis, has appeared in numerous movies and television shows, including Atlantan Tyler Perry’s “Madea Goes to Jail. ”If it wasn’t for the DeKalb nonprofit Furkids, Stacy would not have found Jack, she said. Furkids, an animal rescue shelter, markets animals for adoption through retailers like Petsmart. The organization offers refuge for abandoned and homeless animals and provides low-cost options for spaying and neutering. 
FurKids Thrift Store is a unique, high-end thrift store and is located right in the heart of Peachtree Corners. The store’s proceeds go to help fund the non-profit FurKids, a one-of-a-kind cage-free, no-kill animal shelter that works in conjunction with Petsmart to find homes for kitties and pups no one loves…
Furkids, the largest no-kill, cage-free shelter in Georgia with hundreds of cats and volunteers, received a ‘cat-o-miniums’ wall cubby from The Beck Group as a donation to the homeless cat shelter.
