We are a no-kill organization. We spay/neuter all animals either before adoption or after through participating providers.
What we stand for and what we do:
* rescuing homeless kittens and cats.
* provide medical assistance to our rescues (vaccinations, parasite treatment, tests, etc. )
* keep animals in our own homes until adopted.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Additional adoption info
We require potential adopters to complete an adoption application and be interviewed to assure that our cats and kittens find good and permanent homes.
The adopting party must be at least 21 years of age, have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household, and have a valid ID with current address. Please understand that the completion of an application does not guarantee adoption.
Kittens must be at least eight weeks old before they can be adopted so they can receive their first Distemper Series vaccine and be tested for FeLV/FIV. They will also need to have a second distemper shot and rabies vaccine and be spayed or neutered.
We require an adoption fee to help defray the costs of health care while the cat/kitten is being fostered. This adoption fee must be paid in full via check or cash at the time of adoption.
