Grassroots Rescue is a different kind of rescue. We are not a shelter, nor an organization with a single structure or a single set of rules. We are an organization dedicated to helping the individual, grassroots rescuer – the people out on the streets who are saving the abandoned, lost, and unwanted cats in our communities. Grassroots Rescue is a site created to help independent rescuers find homes for the cats they rescue. Animal rescue is a challenging field, and what many who are not involved don't realize is how hard it is for individuals who simply want to help the cats and dogs. Most of those in the Grassroots group are involved with TNR of cats - trap, neuter, return. This is a worldwide phenomenon aimed at helping the free roaming cats in our communities by trapping them, having them neutered, and returned to live in their territory. We are working to get a handle on the population problem in a humane manner.
