Adoptions

It is our mission to provide for the adoption and placement of rescued cats and kittens into permanent loving homes. We are further dedicated to the care and well-being of these homeless cats and to educating the public on the need to spay/neuter pets, the prevention of animal cruelty, responsible pet ownership, and actively encouraging Trap Neuter and Return (TNR) in our community.

Queen City Cats is a group of compassionate volunteers committed to improving the lives of lost, abandoned, unwanted and stray cats in the greater Burlington, Vermont area and working with the community to achieve that objective. We advocate for the responsible care of cats by promoting spay/neuter programs, fostering, and adoption and by providing humane education and essential resources to their human companions.

Our organization started in Nov 2016 to help kittens and adults at local shelters. We have since moved to taking more from the community such as founding kittens needing bottle feeding. We are foster based and can only take on new cats based on available fosters. We work to educate the community about services and resources with regards to cat care, free or low cost spay/neuter, how to TNR, and we also make community Cat shelters. So many people would help found animals if given the information and guidance.

To serve our community through responsible government, preserve our heritage, and create a higher quality of life for our stakeholders.

We are a nonprofit animal rescue that strives to end canine neglect and build a bully-breed loving society through adoption programming and advocacy. We envision a society where bully breeds are accepted, and responsible pet ownership is expected. With occasional exceptions, all dogs available for adoption through our rescue are pit bulls, bully breeds and their mixes. Most are pulled from high-capacity municipal shelters and holding pens around our state, at risk of euthanasia due to breed, age, illness, injury, behavior, temperament, or lack of space. Once in rescue, each dog is placed in a foster home, where they are exposed to various environments to gauge behaviors, responses, and triggers. This process allows us to select the adoptive placement best suited for each individual dog. As a result, we operate on a “Best Fit” Model of Adoption, where every application is processed, and the home determined best suited to meet the needs of the specific dog is selected.

We're a small kitten rescue, but 100 orphaned or injured kittens find their way into our kitten room every year. Many come here in need of immediate medical care so we do all we can to raise funds to cover vet costs. We pet sit in our area and we have annual garage sales. We also have considerable support from a loving community that helps us keep our pantry full. We love to see happy pets and happy families finding the love they were reaching out to find.

Kiski Valley Cat & Kitten Rescue was established in 2000. We are dedicated to the prevention of cruelty and neglect towards cats by providing shelter to homeless cats until we can find them permanent homes of their own. Necessary veterinary treatment, including spaying, neutering, Distemper, and Rabies vaccinations are obtained for them. Euthanasia is not considered unless a cat is gravely ill and it needs to be done to prevent or end the cat's suffering.  The shelter runs solely on the help of volunteers and donations.  We do this because we love cats and want to do as much as we can for them. ​

True Friends Animal Rescue is focused on providing a full-service adoption experience by listening to your needs and traits you are looking for in a dog and helping match the proper dog to your family. We also have our dogs in foster to learn as much about them as possible for proper placements.

We are a no kill shelter who aims to educate the public about responsible pet ownership & the importance of spaying and neutering pets. We encourage people to adopt pets instead of shopping for pets! We promote keeping pets healthy through routine vet care, getting adequate nutrition and exercise, and we recruit volunteers on a regular basis to work with our animals. We have very few employees (only 2 currently) and run almost entirely on a volunteer staff.

We are a non-profit fully foster based dog and cat rescue. We take in dogs/cats locally from other shelters in the Rochester area as well as owner surrenders and strays as well as travel to the southern states to pull dogs from overcrowded and under funded kill shelters. Our mission is to find loving families that will be forever homes for as many dogs and cats as we can so that they do not end up in a shelter or on the street again.
