VIP Rescues and Adoptions

We are a network of foster homes and formed in a joint effort to save lives from the inevitable fate that awaits them at the over-crowded shelters. The cats we rescue are from high-kill animal shelters, owner releases and other situations where their outcome was bleak. Once within the care of our devoted and loving foster homes, they are spayed/neutered, dewormed, brought up-to-date on their vaccinations, after being tested for feluk/fiv they are put up for adoption. All animals are on high-quality food and live in their foster homes until we can find them a forever home.
