BBAK's mission is to help stop the flow of unwanted cats and kittens in our community. BITTEN BY A KITTEN RESCUE is a private kitten rescue in the East Bay. We rescue orphan kittens from the community and kittens that would otherwise be put to sleep in area shelters. We take kittens from private homes ONLY if we can make sure the mama cat gets spayed. We raise our kittens underfoot and treat them with love and attention to become affectionate, well-adjusted house cats. BITTEN BY A KITTEN RESCUE kittens are ALWAYS spayed or neutered so that they will never contribute to the horrendous overpopulation of cats and kittens in this country. All kittens are also treated for fleas with Revolution or Advantage, wormed at least once and have had their first FVRCP vaccinations. One of the litter has tested negative for FIV/FeLV and they have been vet-checked as healthy. They are well-socialized, 100% litter box reliable and have no bad habits.

This small animal rescue facility began as a foster home for a larger animal rescue group - New Beginnings for Animals- who had a few dogs & cats with health, behavior or space issues. Gradually it has grown because of networking and word of mouth. Animal rescue is such a meaningful way to give back and help these beautiful creatures regain their health and spirit, rebalance their bodies and find love.

See above.

This group was founded due to the need in eastern Costa County for help for unwanted/abandoned cats and dogs. We foster to adopt cats and dogs, as well as provide spay/neuter assistance.

Michelle Stumpp is the founder. The sanctuary rescues animals labeled as livestock that have been abused, neglected, and otherwise exploited. It provides a safe haven for farm animals used in animal research.

We promote and help the community with spay/neuter. We are dedicated to the welfare of all animals. Our goal is to provide permanent, loving homes for all animals.

Elaines Pet Depot is a pet supply store. We pull animals from shelters and host them in our store until they get the right home.

SPOT was created to fill the need to save animals who “fall through the cracks” in our sheltering system. Local shelters are overwhelmed—they receive so many strays and owner turn-ins that they run out of space and have to kill thousands of animals each year. The majority of these animals are healthy and simply need to be placed into a home. Others are medical cases which require some work, but do not have life-threatening diseases or injuries. And a few have some moderate behavior issues; we work with specialists to correct these behaviors before finding them their forever home. The bottom line is SPOT can save these lives.
