Cats

The Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c)3, no-kill and life-enhancing cat rescue group located in the United States of America. "The purpose of the Egyptian Cat Rescue of America (NVEcats) is to (physically) rescue, assist non-government organizations (NGO) and advocate (through education) for the endangered native Egyptian Mau, and Nile Valley Egyptian Cats." We support and work with Non Government organizations (NGO) who have rescued and placed thousands of abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats and kittens in Cairo Egypt and surrounding areas.

Our organization is completely run by volunteers, everyone from the President to the person cleaning cages. We have 2 main focus areas. The first is that we want to find adoptable, homeless animals their forever home. We know that there currently is not enough room to hold all the stray cats in this area because of the government run shelters performing euthanasia to make more space for incoming animals. While we are no-kill and have limited space, we can still help take in some of the highly adoptable animals that would have been euthanized and find them a great home. Our volunteers love to care for the animals and get great joy in finding them that great home. A lot of them feel like every cat in the organization is their own. The second focus is that we want to resolve the over-population of cats issue in Chicago and its suburbs. To do this, we provide low-cost spay/neuter services to low-income people and rescues as well as provide trap/neuter/return services for feral cats. There are many rural farmers and people in surrounding counties to Chicago that just do not have the income to get the cats on their farm neutered, and so they start to accumulate very quickly. We have been able to assist many farms in slowing down and even stopping the growth of the number of cats on their farm and some of the cats from these farms we find great homes for! Overall, we enjoy what we do, helping both people with their pets and animals, and helping the animals too.

Buffalo CARES was started by 7 people who have worked together for years at various other rescues. We started this rescue because we wanted to make sure our rescue was run the right way. We saw a need for a rescue in the Buffalo, NY area that would help & rescue local dogs. The majority of our animals are local animals.

Mountaineers For Mutts (M4M) is a non-profit organization that focuses on animals in need. We believe that our society must become intolerant of the mass killings of our best friends and canine/feline family members. We are dedicated to the improvement of the health and well-being of companion animals. Our 501c3 application is currently pending.

We are a Trap, Neuter and Return group that recently opened a No-Kill, Free Roaming Cat Shelter. We found so many wonderful cats in the field we wanted to be able to provide them with adoption opportunities. We have TNR'd over 4,000 cats in the past five years.

Brooklyn Animal Action is run entirely by volunteers like you! We support BAA in our spare time (we all work full-time jobs) because we are committed to improving the lives of NYC's animals in distress.

To date, Animal Aid for Vermilion Area, a non profit 501(c)3 animal rescue organization established in 1995, located in South Louisiana, has helped rescue thousands of animals. AAVA has worked through 5 natural disasters, including hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In the aftermath of Katrina, they helped unite people with their pets and saved cattle from drowning and starving. AAVA also helped pass the Pet Evacuation Bill that keeps service animals and pets from being left behind during a disaster. AAVA has been helping animals and their owners for over 25 years, and one of their goals is to rescue and rehome as many animals as possible from the local Animal Control facility, a high kill pound with no adoption program. While all pounds are always full of dogs and cats for adoption, we are facing a particular challenge: this is a high kill pound with no adoption program

Started in 2004 for ferals for trap/neuter/return (TNR), then added foster/adoption program for abandoned pets. Also do community outreach/education.

Our mission statement is to reduce the number of euthanized animals by rescuing from kill shelters. We are all volunteers and run our organization on donations and fundraisers. We also have a thrift store that people donate items to and we sell them to benefit our animals.
