We provide shelter and appropriate adoption placement for domestic cats in need of compassionate care. This includes in-house veterinary care and support through our volunteer network.

Adopting a cat through Feline rescue was such a wonderful experience!! My adoption specialist Laura guided me through the whole process and provided any info i could possibly need as a first time cat owner! on the day of the adoption, the volunteers read over all the forms with me and even helped me with setting up my cat carrier. They also sent me home with food to start off and some toys!

Went there for a school project and they had the most helpful and friendly staff to help me and they really care for the cats they take care of

Note that I haven't been to Feline Rescue for a number of years, so my info might be outdated. But I wanted to review it anyway. I was a volunteer there for about a year and I also fostered 2 cats for a little while from their outreach program. Volunteering was good. You would scoop all the litter boxes and then clean the kennels and surfaces in the rooms. Then you would mop the floors. Sometimes you could do tasks in the intake room where they quarantined new cats before putting them in with the others. After all the work was done you could play with the cats. Some cats had their own rooms. There were 2 big general rooms, one for FIV+ cats (I accidentally let a few out once, that was a disaster), and one for quiet and shy cats. Then there were a few rotating rooms/areas for cats that needed it. The cats would be in kennels overnight and when the shelter was closed but when people were there they could run free and play. I learned a ton about cat behavior both by watching them and from other volunteers. One thing I remember vividly is that they would put out food for feral cats, and if you left around dusk, you could see dozens of pairs of glowing eyes coming towards you from all directions. I'll never forget that! The outreach program took in really difficult cats that the main shelter couldn't take. The two I fostered actually had fleas and I had never dealt with that, so I learned a lot from that situation. I attached some pictures of cats but I didn't see any pics of the areas in the shelter. The two in the blue hamper are the ones I fostered and that is in my apartment.

Our family had a wonderful experience adopting our car from Feline Rescue. They were very upfront with us about the policies and worked closely to help us find a cat that matched preferences. We will recommend Feline Rescue to others.

I’ve visited Feline Rescue since 2007. My friend volunteered for 8 years. Seeing the cats available for adoption was fairly easy. You could tell the cat personality, what the cat was prioritizing, dietary and health accommodations, social tendencies, bush dweller or tree dweller , etc. At the moment, it seems like they’ve limited hours to 4 hours most days, and stopped walk in visits unless the visit is by appointment. When I have dropped by, it’s been hard solicitations by the volunteers…” please take this cat home…” Matching a new cat with a forever home takes time and tends to take in-person observation and 1:1 meet and greets. This takes time and effort from both the “walk in’s” and the cats…Digital postings might be ok for some cats and people, but I’d prefer to meet a new family member in person, even if it’s behind a glass window or a door. Maybe start video streaming the cats on your website?

We found a new member of our family here. The volunteers were very helpful in finding a cat that would fit in with our family and lifestyle. Our new fur baby, Kwazii the Pirate Cat, is great with our kids. They helpfully discouraged us from getting certain cats as being not the right fit for a family with 2 young kids. We couldn't happier with our experience at the 'cat store' as our 5-year-old calls it.
