Cats

Best Friend Pet Adoption (BFPA) is a no-kill animal rescue organization based in central North Carolina. BFPA has no building, office, or shelter. We are an all-foster network committed to helping dogs and cats in need of homes. Individual donations are our most important source of income as we receive no public funding. Our purpose is to provide medical assistance, foster homes, and adoption services to previously lost, abandoned, abused, or neglected animals in Wake County, NC and the surrounding counties. Our mission is to educate this disposable society in which we live that every life should be valued and cherished and is directly linked to human responsibility and commitment. Almost all the animals we rescue require immediate medical attention. BFPA never turns away or euthanizes an animal because of the expense involved in returning them to good health. All our rescued animals are evaluated for temperament, examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, microchipped (if possible) and sterilized, if age appropriate. Cats and dogs receive monthly flea/tick preventative and dogs also receive monthly heartworm preventative. The most important ingredients we provide to these animals are loving care and a safe haven -- something most of them have never experienced. These cats and dogs live in volunteer foster homes until we find them a loving permanent home, however long it takes. We match these precious beings to a single, couple or family who understand cats and dogs should be full participating members of the family. Our hope is that these animals never have to experience being unloved again. Since our beginning, BFPA has rescued and placed over 2,500 cats and dogs into their forever homes. BFPA was created in 1998 by two Raleigh-area women who had volunteered with other established rescues in the Triangle. Their dedication to help homeless dogs and cats has led to an organization that has grown to over 225 volunteers strong. BFPA received 501(c)(3) status in 1999.

Helping Animals Rescue Team is a small scale, foster based rescue group that functions entirely through volunteers. We raise funds for shelter assistance as so many shelters are not funded to even feed the animals they care for. We also fund raise for the spay/neuter initiative in an effort to stop the overpopulation of pets in shelters

Save a Stray is a new group of old hats. We are determined to enrich the lives of the shelter pets of Mobile through spay/neuter programs, shelter medicine, and training classes. Spay/neuter progams are offered to decrease the number of pets entering our shelters. Shelter medicine will be provided for pets in our shelters so healthier pets are adopted or pulled by rescue groups. We hope to increase pet adoptions and the chances of that pet becoming a family member through training classes with shelter pets and at risk youth groups.

King Street Cats is proud to be the only cat-exclusive, no-kill rescue facility in Alexandria, Va. We are 100% volunteer-run and rely solely on private donations. Prior to 2003 we were known as The Albert Foundation. King Street Cats houses 30 cats on average and because we are free-roaming, you can come and hang out on the weekends with the "cat-friendliest cats" in town! Our mission is to provide loving homes for the cats and kittens in our care, and to educate and assist the community in regard to cat welfare. We accomplish this through outreach to the local community by providing information on proper cat care, behavioral problems and other issues involving cats. If you call or email us, we will respond! We also assist local residents in locating and retrieving lost cats and assist individuals through the cat adoption process. We promote spaying and neutering, and all our cats and kittens are sterilized and fully up-to-date on shots prior to adoption. We also provide post-adoption support for adopters and anyone else that needs cat care advice. Because we only work in the area of cat welfare…we know cats! We believe that every cat, regardless of age or personality, deserves to have a forever home and our cats stay with us until that home is found.

The Evergreen Animal Protective League was organized in April, 1981, to aid lost, abandoned and suffering animals through rescue, shelter and education. The League has provided a better life for over 9,300 cats, dogs and other pets. Some facts. We are totally volunteer. The majority of our members work during the day and do their volunteer work in the evenings and on weekends. There are NO paid employees. We are not supported by taxes. All funding comes from donations from the public, and from fund raising activities. We do not make money from adoption fees. Adoption fees do not even cover the cost of advertising the pet, let alone vet care, etc. Because we must raise our own funds to operate, we depend upon the Evergreen community for contributions and for volunteer assistance. We are a non-profit organization recognized for tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. Our tax exempt number is 74-2204391. If you are contemplating donating to us you may use this number. We rescue and shelter (if space is available) abandoned pets. We adopt pets not claimed by anyone to new homes. We reunite lost pets with their owners through lost and found records. We assist financially with neutering of pets, and we educate pet owners about neutering whenever possible. We educate adults wherever possible about proper care of pets. We provide educational programs in the elementary schools. We provide pet registration tags for pets. We conduct fund raising activities to finance our programs. We are a good source for information on pet behavior problems, but do not consider ourselves a replacement for a veterinarian. We help animals in any way that we possibly can.

DARS is a small, all-volunteer rescue group. Our mission is to be a voice for animals, giving them a better quality of life through foster care, adoption, pet overpopulation education, humane education, and higher ideals of humanity towards all animals.

We are a foster based organization with no shelter facility. We helped the Rockwall shelter become no kill and we are now proud to say that we take in more dogs and cats from Dallas Animal Services than any other organization. Our fosters are passionate about saving lives. We have a robust transport program and we drive dogs to our partners around the country to help with the overpopulation in Texas. Our mission is to save every precious life possible.

It is the mission of the City of Sugar Land's Animal Services to protect public health and welfare while enforcing humane animal treatment in accordance with City of Sugar Land's ordinances and county, state and federal regulations. It is also our mission to provide safe, humane shelter for unwanted, stray, abused and impounded animals and to educate the public about responsible animal care, pet ownership and living with wildlife in hopes of reducing the number of unwanted animals in the community.

OMC! (Only Maine Coons Rescue) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. We are a 100% volunteer-run/breed-specific rescue group that specializes in the Maine Coon Cat breed. We rescue Maine Coon Cat/Kitten mixes from shelters and unwanted situations. On occasion, we rescue purebred (PB) Maine Coon Cat/Kitten(s). This means that they have papers registering them as a purebred cat. In addition all of our cats are lovingly cared for in Foster homes until they are placed into their “furrever” homes. Although we cannot guarantee the percentage of Maine Coon in each cat that we rescue. Be assured that each “Coonie” cat represents the breed in a satisfactory manner. Please take a look at the Maine Coon cats in need of a “furrever” home by clicking on this link: Available Cats. In order to start the adoption process, please fill out an Adoption Application by clicking on this link Adoption Application. We are a close-knit group who all work together to make adoptions happen as quickly as possible, and to ensure a happy ending for the coonie and the new adopter.
