About Rags to Riches Animal Rescue

Rags to Riches Animal Rescue is a foster based animal rescue on Long Island, NY.

One of our first priorities is to help alleviate our huge stray and feral cat problem locally so we mainly work with local trappers and shelters to get these poor kitties vetted and socialized. The more we can help locally, the more we can help in other areas.

There are so many dogs (and cats) on the ‘To Be Euthanized’ list in our local shelters so we work in that area as well. We do also work with some out of state high kill shelters to help with their overpopulation problem.

It’s quite an overwhelming task to do animal rescue. It seems like no matter how much you do, there are always more animals being neglected, abused, mistreated, and left behind. RTRAR will try to do our part, so if you can help out in any way, it’s greatly appreciated. Let’s work together. We are their voice.

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.
