Hermitage Cat Shelter History

Sister Seraphim, a Russian Orthodox nun, founded The Hermitage Cat Shelter in 1965 as a sanctuary. She later moved the shelter to its current location in 1969 and it is where The Hermitage has remained ever since.  The remarkable Sister Seraphim passed away in 1990.

Sister Seraphim’s devotion to animals represents the foundation of our commitment to The Hermitage’s mission. To read a short story about Sister Seraphim by local author Jane Eppinga, click here.
