What we do:
We try to do as much as we can to help as many cats as possible. In a perfect world, there would not be any homeless, hungry, injured or sick cats out there trying to fend for themselves. Though we are aware that it is not a perfect world and it is not possible to save every cat in need, rather than being discouraged, we focus our energy to help one cat in need at a time. With that determination, we were slowly able to grow our organization. Currently, we have habitats in three different pet shops, and have partnered with many foster families. That's 25 or more cats off the streets. As each cat gets adopted, we immediately rescue another cat to place in our habitats or bring one ready for adoption from our foster care.
In addition to cats placed in our habitats in pet shops and with our foster families, we perform Trap, Neuter and Release (TNR) operations in our community to help reduce the number of homeless cats.
There are yet many cats who have become feral, hence un-adoptable. They become part of feral colonies. We look after several colonies our neighborhoods. This entails visiting the sight at lease once a day, feeding and providing fresh water, building and maintaining safe and weather proof outdoor housing, be on the look out for any injured/ill cats and trap and take them to a veterinarian and perform any medical assistance that they may need.
100% of all adoption fees, donations received, monies raised through our many fundraising events go to the care and medical needs of our rescued friends.
We are so very grateful to all of the families who have chosen to adopt one of our rescue cats, many many volunteers who help care for all of our cats twice a day, seven days a week, our wonderful foster families who open their home when a space isn't available or if any of rescued kitties need special care and/or socialization until they are ready for adoption, and everyone who donates to our organization. Together, we have rescued hundreds of cats and placed them with loving homes, which is all we wish to accomplish in the end.
