My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A loving pair of hands... 99 years old. Hands that have held generations of children and pets, alike. A deeply loving woman,

holding her 10 year old calico, Baby.

As is, so often, the case; this call led to a need for response. This woman AND her cat need someone to step up. We do not have open foster homes (we were unable to intake Baby) but we have a courtesy listing on the adoption search engines. We are sharing the story on social media, as well, because we need all eyes on this! A solution must be found and this is the only way we know to spread it around. Please help by sharing:) Here is an excerpt from the message sent by the family:

"She's always been a quiet and sweet cat until this point. My Grandma said she had never seen her act this way. My Grandma was awakened with the cat squeezing her arm with both its arms and it gave her small bites. The cat usually sleeps with her. I know the cat has also been fed on the bed, among other places. She is petting on her today and sitting by her but she's afraid of it now. It's also getting harder for her to take care of as she's 99 years old now. She has such thin skin and it's a lot more of a hazard now about scratches. She had gotten a couple marks from the cat recently before last night already on her. Grandma is terribly sad but feels it's time to let her go after the episode last night."

That was on March 4th. There have been no incidents, since. They believe that this was likely an isolated event caused by Grandma touching the cats belly in her sleep. Regardless of the cause or the improvements.... Grandma is fearful and everyone agrees this is the best solution.

Additional adoption info

Go meet their pets

Our available pets are fostered in a network of loving foster homes. We do not have a brick-and-mortar presence in the community, at this time. Foster homes are the magic behind what we do.
We are not a shelter. We are a foster-based rescue and outreach. We foster a small number of various species within a network of approved foster homes. We do our best not to take on so many as to affect the quality of life of those we care for (or our permanent residents/pets).

We happily offer to create adoption profiles for fostered pets and ask anyone who has a pet in need of placement give us time to find them suitable housing. We cannot help your pet if you have waited until the final hour to find it a home. We need time (where you "foster" your own pet) to search for a suitable forever home.

More about this rescue

Quality of Life Rehab and foster is a grass roots effort to increase the quality of life for all animals. We are especially concerned for those susceptible to entering our shelter systems and those abandoned or injured by run-ins with man. We believe it is very important to remember that an animal's quality of life must be put before it's quantity of life.

We also try to indirectly improve the quality of animals' lives by providing community outreach through education, foster, resourcing, and hands on rescue. Our rescue effort was founded in our own humble home. It has, since, grown to include dozens of foster families!

We are often unable to accept new animals simply because we are at capacity, as are our fosters. However, that doesn't mean we won't help you find a home for your rescued animal or pet. We are happy to assist anyone willing to foster their own animal with adoption coordination and pet publicity.

We will pick up injured or orphaned wildlife and care for it until it can be taken to licensed wildlife rehabilitators. We gladly perform snake (and reptile) removal (we LOVE reptiles) and they are NEVER harmed. Any indigenous animals we remove are relocated to an area that suits them.

We will also help with the TNR (sterilization) of feral cat populations in limited capacity. This is made possible through of Sheltering Hands, Ocala, FL.
