Mission

We are an all-volunteer foster-based organization whose mission is to find permanent homes for kittens/cats while allowing them to enjoy time in loving foster homes while they wait. We also provide foster education and training to the feline rescue community. There are large populations of homeless cats and kittens across the country that are in overcrowded, high kill shelters. Many of these animals are relinquished because owners do not spay/neuter. Pregnant cats and/or litters are surrendered to these shelters or turned out on the streets, where they are at risk from the environment, and are also allowed to continue to reproduce. We take these animals from our partner shelters and keep them in foster homes until they are socialized, healthy, and spayed or neutered and adopt them into permanent homes.
