About Heart of a Lion Rescue

We believe that every life is special. Our rescue takes in cats and kittens that are homeless or in high kill shelters within North Carolina. Every cat is placed in foster care where we spend time evaluating their personality and temperament so that we can place each one into the best forever home possible based on their individual needs and the needs of their new family. Cats and kittens needing medical care are promptly treated and every animal in our rescue is spayed or neutered in order to break the cycle of overpopulation. We are also available to offer financial assistance and guidance for those needing help with community cats.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

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.
