Our story began in 2008 when we were part of a small group of independent rescuers who came together to rescue 88 cats from an eviction situation. Most of the cats were not friendly enough to be adopted. We searched and found placements far and wide (8 cats were flown to a sanctuary in Arizona!). We undertook a similar rescue in 2010/2011 and another major rescue in 2012. Many agencies advised us to turn the cats over to the local “kill” shelter. Instead, we felt compelled to consider the life of each individual cat and do all we could to protect that life. Along the way, we rescued numerous other individual cats who found themselves in dire situations like Allison who was trapped in an abandoned building, and Becky who was blind and living on the street. Hobo was hit by a car and found on the side of the road with a broken arm. Many of these cats have now found their forever loving homes. We strive to promote the concept that EACH ANIMAL COUNTS™. Therefore, when an animal is adopted, it needs to be a lifelong commitment. Please help us spread the word and “change the world one animal at a time.”
1. After we receive your application, we will review and follow up with a telephone interview. 2. Next, you get to meet our cats and see if there is “chemistry”! 3. If you want a cat, we will arrange a home visit with someone from our organization. 4. If all goes well, we deliver your new family member to you. At that time, you will be asked to sign the “adoption contract”. There is an adoption fee of $150 per cat. Your cat will come to you fully “vetted”. This means he/she was examined by our Veterinarian, spayed/neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV and FeLV and microchipped (including microchip registration). 5. We will be in touch with you as you and your new kitty acclimate to each other in your home. We are available for advice and counseling as needed. We can loan you a cage should you need this to introduce your new kitty to existing pets or to an environment that warrants this. 6. Of course, we will cheer your progress!
