 Animal Shelters

The organizations below have all either met the requirements of the SEP (American  Humane Association's Standards of Excellence Programs) or have declared a non-euthanizing program. Those shelters which are marked with a "*NK" are no-kill shelters as of this writing, though it is advisable  that you call and contact them directly to make sure that this still their policy. An "^" after the name of the shelter suggests that "cents-off" coupons for pet foods and supplies are valued here.

Välkommen kattvän. - Föreningen har ett eget katthem  och tar emot upphittade och hemlösa katter. Vi tar också emot katter från kronofogdemyndigheter, polis, sociala myndigheter och dödsbon. Katterna återbördas till sina ägare eller utplaceras i nya hem. Innan  utplacering lägger vi ner mycket tid och arbete på att rehabilitera ev. sjuka och störda katter. Vi kontrollerar de nya hemmen noga och överlåtelsekontrakt skrivs alltid där den nye ägaren förbinder sig att ta väl  hand om djuret.

Tillfälliga inackorderingar tas emot i mån av plats.

Föreningens medlemmar arbetar för att alla katters rättsliga och sociala status skall förbättras och för att förhindra och bekämpa  djurplågeri. Vi informerar också om hur man på bästa sätt sköter sin katt.

Verksamheten bedrivs och bekostas av privata medel. Ekonomin är mycket svag eftersom kostnaderna för hyra, veterinärvård, vaccinering,  kastrering, sand och mat uppgår till avsevärda belopp varje månad.

Alla inkommande medel går oavkortat till hjälp åt nödlidande katter. Alla som arbetar på katthemmet gör det på sin fritid helt ideellt.

Föreningens motto är "Katten ska leva - inte dö".

 The Pets Unlimited Shelter

Thank you for your interest in our  Adoption Center. Pets Unlimited is a non-profit charitable organization that was established in the 1940's. It was located on Sacramento Street in San Francisco, and it provided homeless animals with care, shelter and  adoption services. It was also the first Adoption Center with a "no-kill" agenda. In the 1970's, Pets Unlimited moved to its current building on Fillmore Street. Due to a noise ordinance, the Adoption Center  can no longer house dogs. Today, Pets Unlimited serves as the only 24 hour emergency hospital in the city. It also runs a cat Adoption Center.

I urge everyone to visit the center. There are many happy and healthy  feline friends who are looking for new homes. All of the cats have passed a physical exam, been spayed or neutered, been tested for FIV and Leukemia, been vaccinated and been bathed. The facility is unique because  visitors can pet, play with and handle all of the cats. In addition, we always need volunteers to assist with cat care. Please visit!!

The  Feral Cat Coalition was formed. The FCC is an organization that traps and spays/neuters feral cats, then returns them to their caretakers. This service is provided to the community at no cost by licensed veterinarians  and volunteers with one goal in mind: reducing the enormous number of homeless, unwanted cats.

Since we began in November 1992, we have spayed/neutered over 1,500 cats per year!!! The FCC is made up entirely of  volunteers, and donations are always welcome and needed for surgical supplies!

Our rescue's goal is to find happy and healthy homes for those that have been abandoned, abused or are strays. Each of our volunteers have been  "touched" in some way by a Persian and we feel that they are a very special breed. We will keep a cat until the perfect home is found for him/her, usually 1 week to 1 year. We operate solely on donations and  the kindness of volunteers and local veterinarians.

T.L.C.R.'s purpose is to find the right new home for stray, feral, abandoned, unwanted and owner relinquished kittens and cats.  Each cat and kitten gets a full veterinary exam, vacinations and FELV/FIV Combo  tested.  All kittens and cats stay in the foster homes until they become adopted. They are affection trained and are not considered  until they are COMPANION ready. Then get ready, these guys and gals are a  load of FUN.  Adoption donations go towards the cost of vet bills, food, litter, toys, bedding and whatever else the little guys require.

 Alley Cat Rescue Foundation (San Francisco) - What is Alley Cat Rescue Foundation?

The ACRF program provides resources to enable individuals  primarily in the South/South East San Francisco Bay Area to rescue abandoned, abused and/or neglected cats and kittens of all ages. Our Placement Program is also available to assist people in adopting a new cat or  finding new homes for their present cats.  The foundation is a non-profit organization comprised of individuals who spend their own time (and often their own money) to see to it that whatever cats we can sponsor  are nourished and healed - both physically and psychologically.  Once a feline is deemed ready, it is shown at certain display points so that individuals who wish to own a cat can choose to adopt one of the ACRF  cats.

ACRF has found homes for over 3,000 cats in 3 years.

 The Cat Network

is an all-volunteer, no-kill, St. Louis-based cat rescue group in operation since 1991. We are a  501(c)(3) Missouri corporation.

The Cat Network rescues abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats. Approximately 85% of our rescues come from local kill shelters,  and require intensive medical treatment. For  the period 1/1/96 - 7/31/96, our expenses total $32,000 with over half of this attributed to medical expenses. The balance consists of shelter rescue fees, fundraiser costs, advertising, insurance, and litter, food  & other cat supplies. We have 15 veterinarians in the area we work with who provide us with discounted rates. We also take people's pets they need to place, and ask for help from them and other rescuers in  sponsoring costs for their cats, so we can focus our income on the more unfortunate ones

We are funded about evenly between adoption fees, donations and our various fundraisers.

SOCS is a volunteer nonprofit animal rescue group, located in the Seattle, Washington area. Our mission is to make an animal's life better, one tail at a time.

SOCS is dedicated to helping stray, abandoned and injured cats find loving indoor homes. Our existence depends on the generosity of you - the  animal lovers who support our beliefs. Let our critters change your life, while you improve the quality of theirs.
