Tumbleweed Cat Rescue is an all-volunteer animal rescue in Tri-Cities, WA that supports animal control and shelters through cat fostering, adoption, and transferring, and provides volunteer coordination and community education
TCR intakes cats and kittens from animal control agencies in order to promote:
1. Local jurisdictions collecting accurate data on cat overpopulation
2. Getting cats out of small kennels and into foster homes
3. Animal Control Officers and local Authorities handling cases of animal neglect and data on the individuals and neighborhoods habitually having stray and unwanted animal overpopulation/repopulation.
Promoting these ideals can increase the burden on animal control agencies and shelters, however we believe this is the best way to gain leadership awareness of local animal issues and gain support for an increase in support to those agencies. We prioritize intaking the young, sick, injured, and/or longest residents from the shelter.
