Whiskers is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit cat rescue. We cater to animals in the municipal shelters in Davis, Weber, and Salt Lake counties. We take animals from surrounding areas as resources & space allows. In 2019, our volunteers collectively rescued over 200 felines and placed into permanent homes over 158, at-risk pets by year-end! Whiskers’ focus is on those most at risk in our shelters due to age, special needs, or medical cases. In 2020, amidst the pandemic Whiskers was still able to rescue over 132 animals. We found amazing homes for 113 special cat friends. Whiskers cater to seniors who are often overlooked due to age and needed vet care. Our focus is on quality over quantity, some of our cats need time to heal, receive multiple or lengthy medical treatments, the results are nothing short of incredible. We end up rescuing kittens each year; we call them future seniors! Often our kittens are saved from dire circumstances as well. Whiskers is rescuing those truly in need! Whiskers is a foster-based program, meaning we do not have a brick & mortar facility. We are always looking for foster homes! No one appreciates the love and comfort of a home the way a shelter animal does. Whiskers cats are available to adopt through appointment or one of our events at the Petco in Bountiful, Utah. We have cats available in the habitats at this location; We are proudly a Petco partner! Together We Save Them!
