Chattanooga Alliance for Animals

A Home for Cats is a small, self-funded, 501(c)(3) non- profit rescue organization located in Chattanooga, TN. We are a no-kill rescue, once we commit to taking in an animal, it stays with us until a new home is found. Ours is an all-volunteer organization and the money needed to care for the pets we rescue comes our of our own pockets. Each "Foster Parent" is responsible for the Veterinary and day to day costs of caring for the animal until adopted. Our adoption fees range from $35 - $125 depending on age, breed and Veterinary expense, however this usually does not cover the significant costs involved, which include traveling to pick up a pet in need, providing veterinary care, vaccinations, flea and worm treatment, having it spayed or neutered, FeLV/FIV tested, giving it any training necessary, and helping to socialize, house and feed it. We welcome public dontaions and they are tax deductable. 100% of donated funds go towards the spay/neuter, feeding and housing of our rescued pets. Our mission is to save as many cats as possible through fostering, socializing, spay/neuter, vaccinations, medical care and adopting them to forever homes. We strive to promote public awareness about the importance of spay/neuter, keeping pets safely indoors and why declawing is inhumane. More info at www.declawing.com . On a limited basis stray and abandoned cats and those rescued from kill shelters are kept uncaged in a home setting until adopted. Because of the interaction in a normal home environment, we are able to acquire insight into the cats' personalities and temperaments. Matching the cat's personality to the needs and expectations of the prospective owner is of primary concern in any adoption. Cats can be seen at portable adoptions and appointments for visiting the cats in the foster homes can be scheduled.
