This Old Cat House - division of Pets for Refugees

Cat rescue in Rochester, NY

As a certified rescue organization, we're able to take in kittens that would otherwise be euthanized at overcrowded shelters. We call this arm of our organization "This Old Cathouse." Some of our kittens will be adopted by refugee families, but our top priority is to get them placed as quickly as possible into loving homes of all types. Although we can recoup the costs of vaccinations and spay/neuter procedures through adoption fees, we count on donations to subsidize our food, litter, supplies and veterinary services. You can help us save lives and spread the joy of kittenhood to future cat owners by sponsoring one of these little fur babies via the "Donate" button. If you live in Upstate New York and would like to adopt one of our kittens, you can email us to find out more about when a specific kitten will be available.
