Rebels Rescue

Animal rescue in Tampa, FL

Rebels Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)3 animal rescue dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets in Hillsborough County and the Greater Tampa Bay area. Our goal is to end unnecessary euthanasia by placing the most at-risk pets from local shelters and the community into our foster homes where they will receive the love, attention and care they deserve while they await adoption. All pets receive appropriate vet care in addition to being spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Additional adoption info

Before you adopt...
Ask yourself if you are ready for a 15+ year commitment
**Please Note** Submitting an inquiry for a specific animal does NOT guarantee a hold of that animal, until our adoption counselor is able to speak with you in person or over the phone. We will do our best to facilitate a swift process!
As a non-profit, we charge a nominal fee for all adoptions. In exchange for your adoption fee, all animals:
• Are spayed/neutered
• Are fully vaccinated based on age/weight at the time of adoption
• Have received a medical exam
• Are microchipped
• Dewormed (With kittens this will need to be repeated)
• All cats 8+ months of age are tested at the time of entry for FIV and FeLV and will be specified if negative or positive in the medical as well as the description. (Please note that FIV and FeLV testing at the time of entry does not guarantee the cats will be free of the disease.)
• Dogs are tested for heart worms
Most importantly, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you helped re-home an animal that needs the love and care only you can provide.

ADOPTION DONATION ( normal fee's excluding specials )
• Adult Cats $100 (with exception to rare cat breeds)
• Kittens $125 (with exception to rare cat breeds)
• Rare cat breeds such as Siamese and Manx, Oriental, etc. $150+

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS
All Rebel Rescue adopters must be 21 years or older, currently employed, live in a house, condo, or apartment where cats and dogs are welcome, and have telephone or cell phone service.
