Brenda's Cat Rescue

Cat rescue in Philadelphia, PA

We operate solely out of foster homes, which are crucial to our ability to take in and protect cats until we find their forever homes. Foster houses are ideal because foster parents get to know the personalities of the cats, allowing us to match the right cat to the right forever home.

All of our cats are healthy and ready for adoption: they are all tested, spayed/neutered, treated for fleas/worms, and vaccinated. We work with rescue-friendly vets and clinics who understand and support our mission.

Rescue FAQs

Brenda’s Cat Rescue was founded by Brenda Malinics,
a well-respected animal advocate in the Philadelphia area.
With a small group of volunteers and completely self-funded, we rescue stray and abandoned cats primarily in North and Northwest Philadelphia, provide for their vet care, and work to place them in great forever homes.

Additional adoption info

All cats have been tested, spay/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. There is a $100 adoption fee per cat and $150 adoption fee for a pair of kittens. These fees help defray the medical costs and care of the cat. The fee is non-refundable.

Vet references are required, along with an approved adoption application and, periodically, a home visit. All cats must remain indoors and cannot be declawed.
