We are Whiskers Fund!
We are a dog and cat rescue in honor of Heather’s late heart kitty, Mr. Whiskers. Heather is the rescue founder, she worked in Veterinary Medicine for 15+ years. Because of her background in vet med Whiskers Fund is able to take on medical needs cases that most rescues cannot afford to or have the foster resources to do so. Heather comes from an aviation family and has used her flight benefits to fly animals for countless other rescues and Whiskers Fund to be adopted for over 15 years. She has since left vet med to pursue aviation as her main career with intent to become a pilot full time along with buying a private plane to help fly animals out of the south which gives local shelters and rescues without this resource more local adopters. Whiskers Fund will always put the animals needs first, we do not find animals for people. We find people for our animals. Whiskers Fund has saved countless parvo puppies, 11 Panleukopenia kitties, many three legged, one eyed, blind, deaf, and hind end paralyzed animals. We know that they are all deserving of being loved and have love to give no matter what. Whiskers Fund also helps our local TNR efforts and anyone we can to be able to help pets stay with their people if they have fallen on hard times. Our 501(c)(3) is underway!

We try to pull/save mainly from high kill areas and shelters in FL, TX, GA, AL, TN, LA, MS then once the animal has been fully vetted and cleared to be adopted. We mainly adopt to ME, VT, CT, MA, RI areas. We do take in quite a few medical needs cases and will adopt to any area in order to find them the right home.
Additional adoption info
We are extremely quick to respond to applications and have a system in place to be able to quickly and safely approve adopters. We are extremely transparent in our procedure and let people know they hold the timing on it. We will not call references until a home video is submitted to ensure they are serious. We provide an adoption bag for all animals including their favorite toys, current food and treats, microchip information (all animals are chipped with Smart Tag chips that are linked to WF and that information is not removable- we set up owners accounts in addition to this). All medical records are sent electronically to adopters so they can set pet up with a wellness visit to get them established at their vet and set up on preventatives! We also have a private facebook group adopters can join if they so choose and make sure litter mate adopters are connected if they so choose to be so they can all stay in touch! Kittens are adopted in pairs or home must have another young playful cat!
