About Almost Home for Cats
We are an all un-paid volunteer rescue group who provides food and medical care to stray, abused and abondoned cats in our own homes, we are not a shelter. We receive no funds other than from the donations received when we adopt out our foster animals. We trap/spay/neuter within a 20 mile radius of our homes and manage many local feral colonies. We are in dire need of cat food and litter and any volunteers within the Durham area who would like to feed feral cats. We have been doing rescue since 1998. We cannot take in owner surrender cats BUT we are willing to post them on our site for adoption; and we will screen potential adopters for the owner.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
