Cats

We are the Marshall County Humane Society located in Holly Springs, MS, a non-profit organization made up of a very active and dedicated group of volunteers. Our goals are to educate people on responsible pet ownership and to reduce the homeless pet population through adoptions and encouraging spay/neuter.

Pet Adoption Services, Inc. is a non-profit all breed cat and dog rescue organization in New Orleans. Supported by over 20 volunteer members, Pet Adoption Services was founded in 1996, although some of our members have been involved in rescue for as long as 20 years. Our mission is to secure loving permanent homes for homeless, abandoned or abused cats and dogs of all breeds.While awaiting adoption, our animals live in the homes of one of our foster parents. During this time the animals receive any necessary veterinary care, including but not limited to, vaccinations, spaying or neutering and perhaps heartworm treatment. Our experienced foster parents continually assess each pet's personality and temperament allowing us to place adoptable cats and dogs in just the right permanent home.

Animal Friends of Lansdowne is an organization comprised of citizens who are passionate about animals and animal issues. We are concerned about the responsible management of our domestic and feral animals, and about making Lansdowne a safe haven for people and animals to live in harmony. To this end, we are committed to such issues as animal rescue and adoption, population control, health and sanitation, education and awareness, and, always, the humane treatment of all animals.

Community Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.™) is a 501c3 all volunteer organization that works to find homes for unwanted and abandoned animals, serves as an educational and counseling resource for communities on Chicago's North Shore and for current and prospective pet owners, and works to reduce pet overpopulation. We currently work out of Evanston's municipal animal shelter. Since our founding in 1987, C.A.R.E. has been responsible for the adoption of thousands of dogs and cats that would have otherwise been euthanized. C.A.R.E. provides medical treatment and conducts all adoptions for the shelter animals. Each day, the 100+ C.A.R.E. volunteers assume responsibility for total care of all Shelter animals. Each volunteer puts in anywhere from 3 to 30+ hours every week, both at the Shelter and in activities outside the Shelter, performing functions such as: - Walking Dogs - Exercising Cats - Cleaning cages and kennel areas - Bathing and grooming animals - Working with frightened, anti-social animals - Paying for veterinary care, inoculations, and vaccinations - Transporting animals to and from veterinary clinics - Working with veterinarians at the Shelter as part of a testing/inoculation program initiated by C.A.R.E. - Medicating animals as directed by veterinarians - Feeding & watering animals on evenings, weekends, and holidays - Washing bowls, toys, towels, bedding, etc. - Working with Evanston Animal Wardens as needed to comply with city rules & assure accreditation by the Department of Agriculture - Interviewing all potential adopters in-depth and then matching appropriate animals with adopters - Conducting all adoptions, filling out required paperwork, administrating follow-up program - Supplementing city food budget with volunteer funds to provide higher quality food for Shelter animals - Purchasing additional equipment not in city budget to maintain quality care for Shelter animals (including such things as cages, kennel fan, vaccine refrigerator, washing machine, clothes dryer, etc.) - Conducting on-going fund-raising to raise monies to cover all expenses - Conducting community out-reach programs to educate residents on responsible pet care Volunteers are frequently called upon to take animals into their homes and "foster" them in times of overcrowding at the Shelter and when animals need special care.

C.A.T.S-C.A.N., Inc provides for the humane care of homeless cats through rescue, adoptions and vet care and to educate our community about responsible pet ownership. WE ARE A NO DECLAW AGENCY.

The Yolo County SPCA is a non-profit foster home based animal welfare organization. Our mission is to continuously improve the welfare of animals in the community through programs that promote the adoption of homeless animals into permanent, loving homes; humane education; spay/neutering; and the trapping, altering and return of feral cats.

We were started two years ago to try to decrease the cat overpopulation problem in our largely rural area of Plain City, Ohio. We do trap-neuter-return (TNR) of feral and stray cats. We also help low income people get their cats spayed/neutered. Out of these efforts, we always find cats/kittens that are friendly and so we do adopt out these animals. We have cage space at PetSmart, which does help us find a great many homes. Our area consists of a great number of farms and low income people who do not get their cats fixed. It is a huge problem that we are working to solve.

A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, founded in October 2007, is a 100% volunteer, foster-based 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue group based in Palm Beach County, Florida. From the Board of Directors to our Foster Caretakers to our Event Staff, each volunteer gives generously of their time and skills, motivated solely by a desire to help animals. A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue combines a no-nonsense goal of saving animals' lives with the blood, sweat, and tears of countless volunteers with financial support from various donors (individuals and corporations alike). Now in its sixth year, the group has rescued over 5,000 animals and continues to grow rapidly thanks in large part due to established relationships with various pet supply stores in Palm Beach County, including PetSmart and PETCO. All of the grant writing, fundraising, application reviewing, event planning, supply collection, bathing and bottle feeding is done by volunteers who seek only to save the lives of pets. When opening their hearts just isn’t enough for some, they open their doors - fostering dogs and cats in need until they are adopted. Their dedication has made the group one of the largest no-kill rescue groups without a shelter. Rescuing and arranging adoptions into loving homes for so many animals and successfully treating dozens of heartworm positive dogs are monumental tasks that have not gone unnoticed by the local media. The Palm Beach Post, The Wellington Town Crier and The Observer have all written articles promoting the group and its goal of finding homes for homeless pets. Accomplishing our goal of saving homeless pets’ lives by providing them with safe, healthy foster environments until they are adopted by loving forever families, requires funding to pay for the food and medical needs of the rescued animals. Donated funds go directly to covering food and supplies, veterinary expenses and medical supplies, and overhead costs (printing of forms, webpage hosting, etc.). A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue relies solely on donations. We do not receive any government funding or grants. We hope that after all you’ve learned about us, you will join us in our effort to save the homeless animals.

My name is Ruth Parrish, I am the executive director. I would be the second contact for our group. My e-mail is parrishre65@att.net Nicole Thompson is the founder and 1st contact. We rescue stray cats & dogs without homes, we will do euthanasia rescues from a couple shelters. Some owner turn ins as well, of dogs mostly. We do try and take back any animal that has been adopted from us as space permits if the adopter can't keep them. We want to help as many dogs & cats find homes as we can and help stop the overpopulation by getting everybody spayed & neutered.
