My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Catz Jazz Rescue assists as many unfortunate & abandoned cats as possible, while advocating the message of compassion towards animals and responsible pet ownership. Catz Jazz strives to be one of the best Austin cat rescue operations by providing comfort & care for each and every animal coming into our rescue with consideration of their individual situations. Our goal is to find life-long companions for the rescued cats in our care.

Read about Solar: Solar escaped euthanasia when we picked him and his littermates, Moonbeam, Jett, Nettey and Lettey up from the kill shelter and helped them live by bottle feeding them around the clock. Bottle-fed kittens typically end up more bonded to humans because of the bottle feeding and being hand-raised. Our director personally tended to this litter herself and though bottle-feeding orphaned baby kittens is a lot of hard work, it is also very rewarding. Now this little one can enjoy the life he was meant to have.

I'm at ♫ CatzJazz.org ♫!


Solar's estimated D.O.B. is March 19, 2011
Dated added: 5/11/11 Photos current as of: 5/11/11

Solar has passed a vet exam, is up-to-date with age-appropriate vaccinations, has been treated for any medical needs, given preventative treatment for internal parasites/fleas, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and is litter-box trained. Now he just needs a forever home!

Please note: We DO NOT advocate "pediatric spay/neuter" (defined as starting between six to eight weeks young or anything earlier than 4 to 6 months) due to KNOWN medical and health complications that could arise from performing alter surgeries on cats before their hormones are mature enough. We do of course promote the importance of spaying and neutering, participate in community education and absolutely advocate the spay/neuter of ALL companion animals and therefore strictly enforce spay/neuter contracts on our adopted kittens when they become mature enough. Adopters are encouraged to visit any vet they are comfortable with as long as the procedure is done and a copy of receipt of the surgery is supplied to Catz Jazz within the discussed and agreed time frame.

Please be advised that interested adopters go through a careful screening process to include reference checks, telephone interviews, in-person interview and home visits. It is our responsibility to ensure that the kitty's adopting family will always be committed to taking care of the adopted animal not just during it's cute phases but during unpleasant situations as well - if and when health or behavior problems develop over time (and they may), and that the cat is not being adopted on an impulse or will be discarded if their human gets tired of them. We genuinely care about the lives we have saved and want our rescued cats to to end up in a great forever home… our mechanism of careful screening is there to increase the chances of this happening. Be prepared for a thorough interview and really be SURE that you are ready to make a lifetime commitment and to emotionally, physically and financially support a companion animal through rain or shine.

Baby, let's paint the town! If you want some Cat Jazz in your life and are interested in adopting this groovin' Catz Jazz rescue cat, please complete an online adoption application right now, call us or visit our adoption counselor on WEEKENDS at Lakeline PETsMART near Best Buy ACROSS from Lakeline Mall!

Donate a Kuranda cat bed
Donate a Kuranda Bed to Catz Jazz Rescue

If you can't adopt Solar, would you consider donating a Kuranda cat bed to him while he waits for his forever person to find him?

Our rescued cats love to sleep on Kuranda cat beds because of their orthopedic comfort and we love them because they are stackable, allowing high perches for shy cats while increasing the amount of floor space, but due to our already constricted operating budget, we just don't have enough for everyone to sleep on.

When you donate a Kuranda cat bed to us, you will give an Austin rescue cat a place to sleep in comfort and have a bed to dream on while they patiently wait for their forever home.

We also gratefully accept donations of much-needed items from our
Catz Jazz Wish List.

Thank you so much for helping us out.

Any donation, no matter how small is a big help and is greatly appreciated.



♥ Help Chris get treatment! ♥

URGENT!! A RESCUE VOLUNTEER NEEDS EMERGENCY HELP! Please help our wish for him to come true.

A husband, father, brother, friend, and neighbor who lives in our community, is in dire need of our immediate help! At the beginning of July 2010, Chris Blankinship, a trusted and caring volunteer with Catz Jazz Rescue, was diagnosed with an Anaplastic Astrocytoma (grade III). This is a rare (about 4% of the population), life-threatening, rapidly-growing, malignant tumor. Due to the nature of this specific tumor and it's location, the only available treatment possibilities are very limited clinical trials (experimental treatments) for chemo and radiation treatment possibilities that will easily exceed the tens of thousands of dollars mark. We believe that with prayers, positive energy and strong willpower, and the financial help from compassionate supporters who are sympathetic to his plight, we can give Chris a chance to opt for those treatment possibilities, but time is of the essence! Any donation, no matter how small is a big help and is so greatly appreciated by his friends and family. We humbly ask for your support. Can you please help?
