Rescues, Shelters, & Fosters near you

SPAR is an all volunteer local animal rescue group emphasizing in special needs & medical cases, including but not limited to all other animals in-need of rescue from the community, off the street and from local area shelters.

Support: We aim to give support to other shelters and rescues for cats and kittens that need specialized or longer term care due to medical or behavioral needs. Providing relief and resources to aid their staff through our partnerships in multiple ways. We want to work with the great organizations that already exist around Massachusetts, New England, and beyond to strengthen our impact together. We additionally aim to provide temporary housing and loving care, medical aid, and safety with Emergency Foster Care, in partnering with local Domestic Violence Shelters for those Victims that are in transition and do not have an alternative place to bring their pet. Many domestic violence shelters are not able to accommodate pets and this is a huge factor in why many victims are unwilling to leave a violent relationship. We want to help make sure this is less of a worry, we are here to help protect and support these victims and their pets. Placement: Our adoption process has a focus on two goals. First, we take special care and consideration into why you would like to adopt one of our cats and how you feel you can best offer the care and love one would need due to each cats unique history. If you are a selfless human and have previous history with any sick, traumatized, senior or special needs cats or willingness to learn, please consider adopting through us and becoming an Emotional Support Human for a cat that needs you. Second, we want to look at the other side of the same coin. How can a cat or kitten help you? We all know the power of a cat’s touch when we are feeling so sick, physically or mentally. They always “seem to know”, right? Cats and animals are not a cure in anyway, but the comfort, companionship, and joy one can bring through a bond with their cat in the darkest of times is undeniable. So if you are in need of a cat companion, please feel comfortable filling out our Emotional Support Cat Application, we are here to listen and help match you with a cat that is just right for you and your life. Protection: In the heartbreaking weeks and months following the passing of a loved one, often the pets are left with family or friends. Pets grieve too. Being with family is what’s best for the pet as they are with familiar faces and can transition well in their new home without their human. In other cases, unfortunately, no one is able to take the cat(s) in or it becomes more work than they are able to handle in their time of grief. We want to be there for you and your loved one's cat(s). We understand what it's like and how hard it can be in times of transition. We will offer a safe and judgement free place for you. We take our time to find the best new home for your loved one's cat to be spoiled and happy or we will offer the cat a permanent Sanctuary placement with one of our amazing Forever Foster Homes. With the donations and sponsorships from our donors, our Forever Foster Homes will retain Lucky Cats Rescue's help and support to make sure the cat is loved and cherished for the rest of their life.

BACS is an open admission shelter that provides a safe haven for all homeless animals within Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville and Piedmont. We also provide animal control services to enforce laws and policies around animal care. We are a public service.

We strive to give as many cats as possible a second chance at a good life, especially those who are most vulnerable: the abused, injured, disabled, terminally ill, or in need of medical care. We treat, vaccinate, fix, and rehome the cats we bring in.

We help as many beloved dogs as we can from all over the US, China & Korea & we do not discriminate against breed. We vet them fully then dedicate our lives to finding them their best forever home. We love these babies & they mean everything to us.

We transform lives through exceptional animal care, humane education, and advocacy. Every day, we inspire compassion and positive relationships between people and animals.

About me: I'm Yurika- director and founder of Kitten Rescue 101. I have been in cat rescue for about 10 years originally fostering for a local human society. The school that I worked at had over 200 feral cats with litters of kittens being born all the time so I began TNR-ing the adults and fostering litters of kittens. However during Covid, all access to resources were shut down. I couldn't get spay/neuter appts, shelters would not take in animals, etc. Being known as the "cat person", many people reached out to me asking for help with kittens, but I had no resources. I had 16 kittens that I needed to find homes for with zero access to care. It was at this time, I decided that I needed to start my own organization, get 501-c3 status, and tax exempt status and I would have better access to vets, etc. Since our inception in 2021, we have successfully adopted out over 300 cats and kittens, have access to a rescue vet, meds, and partnerships with other organizations and companies. I even quit my professional job to do cat rescue and now work at a cat clinic! Cat rescue has changed my life completely and the impact that we have been able to make is exponential compared to rescuing cats as a solo individual. About our Org: It is our mission to rescue cats and kittens and provide them with supportive medical care, socialization, food, and shelter to reduce unnecessary suffering, and to find them a forever home. We believe that all animals deserve a chance at life. We are an all volunteer non-profit with just me and one primary other person who does all the intake, meds, posting, marketing, adoption events, etc. We have fosters, and a few other volunteers who help with caring for the kittens that are at our adoption center at Petsmart.

We provide permanent or temporary homes for cats. If we are able to rehabilitate and train the cats, we try to place them into permanent and loving homes. We understand the need for partnership with local shelters and other animal rescue organizations in order to address the plight for homeless, stray and feral cats. We provide homes for feral cats and make every attempt to rehabilitate cats and place them in a loving home. Cats that are not able to be rehabilitated will have a permanent home at DART with limited space availability. Priority is given to cats that are in danger out in the field and animals on the shelter euthanasia list due to behavioral issues or special needs.

We are The Animal Shelter of Sullivan County. We are a shelter that provides animal control for Sullivan County and assist our community with owner surrenders as we have space. Our mission: Our Mission: “Increase awareness in Sullivan County about the humane treatment of animals through responsible sheltering, education, spay/neuter assistance, and access to wellness.”

We rescue cats and kittens off the streets and from hi kill shelters. We provide medical when needed a loving foster home and all vetting needed for adoption. I am the founder and I do everything from shelter rescue to transport to medical care to fostering to adoption to food ordering to driving to and from vets and adoption events.

Our goal is to reduce the number of suffering dogs and cats that do not have a home, by making sure they are in good health and providing them with a loving family to experience the luxuries they deserve. We are MyZouy Rescue and we do what we do because everyone deserves a good life filled with love. Whether you are a human, a dog, a cat, a monkey, a rabbit, a zebra, etc. everyone deserves a roof over their head, some fresh water, some fresh food, and lots of love! Can't forget that everyone needs a partner, someone that will bring happiness into your life. That is what we do for these precious souls, we bring so much happiness into their heart. That is what all pets deserve.

GreenePets was formed in 2004 to help our rampant homeless pets. We preform behavioral assessments and obedience training on our intakes, and usually hold them for a couple of months to help them with socialization and medical issues before offering for adoption. Many of our rescues go on to become service dogs to the disabled population.

In 2007, through a generous bequest, the Lange Foundation purchased a 4.5 acre property in Canyon Country in the Santa Clarita Valley. This allowed us a place of our own in which to expand our rescue work to include the forgotten desert shelters. The animals we rescue come to us in all shapes, colors, sizes, and ages. We value spay and neuter efforts in order to reduce the numbers of homeless animals in California and dedicate ourselves to saving impounded companion animals in order to prepare them for their journey to a new, safe, and loving world. We stand behind those we place.

We are a rabbit rescue but occasionally help guinea pigs. Mostly, we assist our local shelters with over population, sick or behavior rabbits. We do go out and catch domestic rabbits that have been dumped in public places, like east bay regional parks. Everyone in our rescue does this because of our love for rabbits! and desire to educate and show other what wonderful pets they are.

Underdog is a strong network of volunteers in the Bay Area dedicated to saving the Underdogs in our shelters and community. We have dedicated our efforts to giving a second chance to the dogs that are most in need (medically or behaviorally) and the dogs that have been overlooked for too long. We are a foster based rescue which means we do not have a shelter facility.
