NYC Cat Coalition Mission Statement: We rescue cats and kittens from the streets or from owner surrender, bring them for needed veterinary services, assess them

We are primarily a cat rescue group for strays, abandoned, surrendered, local shelter or other cats at risk. We assist with TNR. Jenifer Brooks has been involved with cat rescue for 5 years working with Cats in Tow and MeoowzResQ. Ed Michalek has been in rescue for 17 years and is a founder, director and active with Kitty Katchers Inc (Portal # 1868)

The Stray Love Foundation began formally advocating for the local animal community in 2010 and, as a foster based animal rescue group has since placed over 1,400 animals in stable, safe and loving homes locally and throughout the country. The Stray Love Foundation has four primary missions: (1) To assist stray, injured and abandoned animals through vet care, fostering, and adoption; (2) TNR projects (trap, neuter, return) with the assistance of the Foley Police Department; (3) To facilitate and support the elderly and indigent with pet care, including vet costs, spay/neuter, and re-homing as necessary (also known as our Big Love Projects); and (4) To provide educational outreach programs to children and local groups to build awareness of the importance of companion animals as well as the importance of kind and compassionate treatment towards all animals. Our founder had always rescued on her own for decades but after moving to the Gulf Coast and the BP Oil spill occurred, the need for animal rescue increased exponentially. Being a business woman, our founder reached out to some of her peers to form a board and began formally operating as the Stray Love Foundation in April of 2010.

We rescue community cats and kittens from the streets of Phoenix, spay/neuter, vaccinate, adopt and do Trap, Neuter and Rescue or Return depending on their living situation and their adoptability. I have been in rescue for over 30 years and I only recently set up a nonprofit. My passion is the animals and I have been brining home stray cats since I was 6 years old.

Cat Rangers was founded under the Center for the Advancement of Higher Knowledge as a rescue organization that assists and rescues cats and kittens in crisis, whether in a shelter, abandoned or otherwise homeless. We provide these homeless kittys with medical care and a safe place to live while looking for their furever homes. We have rescued thousands of wayward kitties over the past 6 years. Our mission is to assist as many "last chance" kitties and animal loving humans as possible.

Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds. We have pharmacists, home makers, realtors, geologists, students of all ages, and teachers to list a few. All of us believe that all animals deserve to live and be treated with respect. We don't believe in putting a cat down because it isn't socialized or has health issues. We keep their quality of life at as high of a level as we can, and ultimately let them go (euthanize) before their quality of life deteriorates too much.
