Growing up surrounded by nurses has instilled compassion and a strong sense of service within Chloe. She volunteered at fundraising events for cancer patients for many years, becoming more involved as she got older. As a result of her parents fostering dogs, she became very invested in the idea of finding loving homes for homeless pets. This became even more important to her when her cat, Harlow, came into her life as a stray. With the help of her family, and a great board of directors, her concept for a cat rescue came to life!
We rescue at-risk and homeless cats to provide them with a safe and nurturing environment where they can live until adoption day.

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.
