With NoVa Cats Rest Assured, your cat will be cared for when you are no longer able to be there for them. Without a plan, it's very possible your cat will end up in a cage, frightened and confused. A rescue's priorities are to save shelter animals, so they may not have space when your cat needs it. While shelters have come a long way, cages or condos are no substitute for a home environment with personal attention. Older pets take longer to find homes, and are more vulnerable to illness and depression in a cage facility. Sadly, in some areas, even healthy pets may be euthanized due to lack of space or resources.
