Description In 2018, we became an official nonprofit animal rescue. Our rescue efforts have been in place for many years prior to 2018, with our goal always being the welfare of animals. We focus on animals that need the most help - those that are sick, injured, elderly, feral, or need extensive medical care.

Rise Above Animal Rescue is the best rescue ever. I have adopted, donated, fostered, & volunteered at events and with transport. Every experience with the rescue has been great. The owner of the rescue Kaitlin is so sweet & knowledgeable. Rise Above also takes in difficult medical cases that other rescues and shelters would turn away. They truly do everything they can to help all animals.

As a nonprofit director myself, I know the challenges of leading a small nonprofit, which makes Kaitlin’s hard work just that more impressive. Over the years, I’ve seen her go out of her way to rescue animals with complex medical issues, ones that other rescues may overlook because they are “less adoptable.” It is because she took a chance on a mama cat and her sickly litter of kittens that I now have my 2 fur babies. My adoption process went smoothly, and I am forever grateful that she gave my cats a second chance at life. I will recommend RAAR to anyone who wants to adopt.

Rise Above Animal Rescue is a wonderful group of folks, led by Kaitlin, who are dedicated to rescuing critters who need good homes and then placing them. I've adopted three times from them and would not go anywhere else. I started with elderly tortie Sadie and then with Tobias and finally Rebecca when they were kittens. If you are looking to adopt a pet, please do contact them.

Such a great place. Staff is very friendly and very responsive, I met my new boy cat the same day I applied for him. I highly recommend this rescue!

They don’t respond to applications or emails. Edit- ironically just a few hours after I posted this review I received an email stating whoever is in charge of replying to emails was on vacation and that due to my review they won’t be moving forward. Which is funny because I think that decision was made when I realized they lack basic communication to relay that people are on vacation and will respond when they return. I also find it funny they have an excuse as if there aren’t multiple other reviews saying they don’t respond to emails or applications. It’s very easy to create an automated email response when you go on vacation, it’s also very easy to take accountability when you fall short in terms of communication when you run an organization. Steer clear. I found a beautiful kitten at another wonderful rescue.

Amazing rescue completely self funded by a professional mother who pours everything she has into this rescue to go above and beyond at all hours of the day/ night to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for all the pets in her organization. A beautifully ran shelter that has exceeded any expectations. Wonderful place to find your forever new family member! Thank you Kaitlin for all you do!❤️
