My story

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

"I really want inside! Sitting in this kitchen window always worked, before. Mom always saw me here, looking lonesome, and let me inside. I really want to come inside.

Twice, I have been taken to another home... and twice, I have had to brave a 3 mile journey home. 3 miles to return to the only home I know... and the window sill that always got mom's attention. The front porch where I last saw her. The life I knew...

At least what's left of it.

My name is Sphen. I'm an orphan, I suppose. Mom is gone. And her energy that remains isn't able to open the doors. I can't quite grasp this fact because I am a cat. I just want to come inside.

I am an inside cat. I am 7 yrs old, neutered and QoL is having my vaccines updated tomorrow. I just need a safe place to go, after that."

*Sphen needs an adoptive home or a reputable rescue transfer. We do not currently have him in our possession. We will be connecting with his advocate this evening to have him ready for tomorrow morning's visit to the clinic. He is currently located in Ocala FL. His human mom passed away 3 months ago. He has been removed from the property twice but returned BOTH times (as in, he traveled 3 miles to get home, on foot, twice). It's absolutely heartbreaking. His advocate is a neighbor that is going north, soon. She has exhausted all avenues and ya'll know us.... we specialize in the Hail Mary.

Please connect by text if you have a safe place for Sphen. 352-843-6858

If approved, we will schedule a meet and greet. This is also usually the actual adoption. At that point, an Adoption Agreement is signed.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting one of our fur-babies, just drop us an email or give us a call.
We can set up a meet and greet for you and see how it goes.
Typically, our adoption fees are as follows:
Kittens: $150
Cats: $100
Special needs cat: $200
Large Dogs: $150

***Adoption fees can vary on a case by case basis. Most commonly, special needs animals or purebred animals carry higher adoption fees. This is done in an effort to discourage those that may be "adopting on impulse".

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.
