Today, I want to highlight a Kitten Rescue Shelter called “Kitten Rescue” (kittenrescue.org) , based out of the Los Angeles area.
(There is a cute picture from their site that I’ve posted — to see it, click on this post at the top)
Their mission and purpose is devoted to rescuing cats and kittens from the streets and shelter euthanasia.
Since the inception of Kitten Rescue in 1997, they have rescued and placed over 5500 cats into loving homes. In 2003, Kitten Rescue pulled more animals from the Los Angeles shelters than any other rescue group. They are Los Angeles’s largest rescue group and one of the most respected rescue groups in the country.
Per usual, these types of rescue operations are run in the red — it’s a mission of love, certainly not dollars. They expect to pay about $120,000 next year in medical care for animals next year. They obviously are very grateful for any support — and of course, any contributions are 100% tax deductible.
This is a photo from their site.
From their site, “Kitten Rescue” is also a proponent of “Microchipping”, which is where a small microchip is placed underneath the skin of your pet for the purpose of identification if somehow he/she got lost.
Vote For Romeo
“Romeo is one of ten cats from across America that will be participating in the Meow Mix House, a reality show for cats put on by the Meow Mix company. Each day from June 13th to June 23rd, visitors to the Meow Mix House website will be able to meet the cats, watch them in action and vote for their favorite one. The cat that gets the least amount of votes each day will be voted off the show.”
