My story

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

Rescued from a high Kill shelter

Mathew is super friendly likes dogs, cats, and humans adult and kids! Fully vetted and chipped litter box trained. Mathew is just so cute.  He loves to talk when he see's anyone. he eats both wet and cry food. Very clean and great with the litter box. He is amazing in color detail and just so pretty in person! With so much love to give to his new forever home. He is just so cute with his personality. Very easy going kitty just rolls with the moment.  Loves to play with lasers, feathers, and loves kitty treats.  Very easy going and gentle! Mathew is a year old. When Mathew came to our rescue he had a broken back leg that required a pin to be put into his leg to grow back together after months of back and forth to the vet the pin has been removed and Mathew has recovered and can us his back leg just fine. He has been angel through all his surgery's and vet visits. He is amazing cat and just a total love bug. If you are interested in meeting Mathew please contract our rescue. Mathew would be amazing cat to any loving home.

We currently have in our adoption area at our rescue many cats all running freely in our adoption area waiting for there forever homes. We try to keep up to date our cats currently up for adoption listed. But we S/N weekly and try to add our updates of cats weekly. But there are still many cats we have up for adoption that may not have been listed yet. All our cats up for adoption come from High Kill Shelters that have a very short time at the Kill Shelter prior to being put down. By adopting from our rescue it makes room for us to pull more cats from the High Kill Shelters and keeping them from being put down at the kill shelter. We don't take in any private owned cats. Just shelter cats for there life at the Kill shelter is very short before being put down. Our rescue is a no kill rescue! We work hard to get our cats ready for adoptions. If you would like to meet all our cats up for adoption please contact us 559-412-7226. We are by appointments only!

We are a rescue, not a shelter. We do not kill any animals here at our rescue. In fact, we do not advocate the killing of animals and wish all shelters would adopt a 'no kill' policy. Many of the animals that we rescue end up living out their days here, as some are not adoptable, which may be due to their age, medical issues, socialization issues, or inability to handle children or other animals. Some are also pets that have been unwanted by relatives when their owners have passed on. We try to facilitate the adoption of all animals referred to us that we feel would be good companions. Also, we try to help those that are in transition to find foster homes while they are seeking permanent adoption. You should know that we are very selective about which animals we bring into our rescue so that they will adapt well with the ones already residing here. We have wonderful kittens and adult cats ready for adoption. Please contact us to arrange an appointment. We work with many rescue groups in helping the public to understand the meaning of a feral cat and the TNR (trap and release) program. We also offer help to those people who are interested in starting a TNR program in their area. Feral cats don't need to be killed...and I can't express that enough! We do not support any program that kills feral cats. We are backed by the PETA and Alley Cats organization, and we work from donations and volunteer help. The very sad part of being in rescue... is that this is what we see every day walking into the shelter's knowing they will all die in a few days. Its hard to be in rescue and see this every single day over and over... it takes a toll on us all dealing with trying to save a life. Then the question is who do we save and who do we leave behind? Our rescue never leaves family members behind NEVER !!January 6, 2024, 12:07 am

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) non profit, cat rescue: domestic, feral, seniors, and special needs. It is through donations that we are able to rescue cats from high-kill shelters in California. We also partner with other groups for cat transport to nearby states. We believe in giving a rescue kitty a second chance at having a safe and loving forever home. Those cats not adopted find a forever home with our rescue. We also have a wonderful and successful Senior-to-Senior adoption program.
We originally started as a feral cat program at California Prisons. Inmates were an integral part of that program. However, new wardens shut down our program, which was very successful. In 1999, we moved forward to be a well rounded cat rescue. We save as many cats as our donations allow. All cats are pulled from high-kill shelters in California. Our cats are domestic, feral, seniors, and special needs. All cats deserve respect and second chance at having a safe and loving forever home.
