Heaven on Earth Society for Animals Inc

Heaven on Earth helped during a time someone almost killed my beautiful Macy and it was the greatest gift anyone can give. My rescue and service companion and i we got another year of LIFE that is PRICELESS. I hope that Heaven on Earth can receive state funds or funds from some donors to keep them thriving! Macy and i are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL that Macy is not living in the sky thanks to Demitri and their love of pets... We had heart issues, food insecurity, and then leptospirosis broke out and Macy's liver went kablubluey...so we had to get tests ...and more things that would have cost more than a new car...Heaven on Earth is a diamond of PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOVE IN THEIR HEARTS ..XO Macy

I've been volunteering at this cat rescue for over 2 years, and the cats/kittens and people who care for them every day are the reason I keep returning.

I’ve been fostering for Heaven on Earth/Perry’s Place since 2020 and they’ve been incredible. They provide great care for the cats, and the staff and volunteers I’ve met have all been wonderful.

Love our feline friends and cats do have detective eyes which are born instincts. I do not think anythings can hide from cats eyes.
Good aids to law enforcement and first responders while they know the territory very well. Always active!
Cats are the best ghost busters.
Have a safe haloween

We adopted littermates (highly recommended,btw) from Heaven on Earth in July 2020 and had such a great experience I signed up for monthly donations right away. They have such a wonderful mission and engaging communications that when I saw they needed volunteers at my local Petsmart recently I jumped at the opportunity. Though I've only been volunteering a short time, the staff and volunteers I've met have all been wonderful, warm, and caring, and their partnership with Petsmart is really effective. It's so rewarding seeing the cats and kittens go home with their excited adopters! I feel so lucky to have found such a great organization that's providing such a wonderful service to so many in the community.

I have been volunteering at Perry’s Place Heaven on Earth for 3 1/2 years and it’s been a real joy to work with not only the cats and kittens but also the staff and other volunteers. I participated in the Race for the rescues and also in the cat pawsitive program to train some of the shyer cats to be more adoptable. The people there really care about the cats and are always looking for ways to improve their lives. It is a wonderful place to visit and help out.

I have been working with the organization for 8 years. They are just an amazing group. They helped me understand all bout cat rescue. They helped me spay/neuter over 10 cats in my neighborhood. They also have an open donation policy. You can visit their lovely sanctuary almost anytime and see exactly the impact your donation has on the community. It is a great feeling to know that you are really helping and see you contribution dollars at work.

I love and support this non-profit! They help so many cats that might otherwise meet bad ends. They save lives and there's nothing better than that. As one who donates monthly, they keep me informed on the beautiful work that they do and I get to see the cats and hear their stories. They always answer personally and quickly if I write to them. I highly recommend them as an organization with integrity and compassion.

I loved adopting one sweet cat from this place, that I went back and adopted another cat a year later! Heaven on Earth impressed me with the level of utmost care and concern for the well being of their cats. My oldest, Simba, had a myriad of health issues. At his old shelter, he was going to be euthanized. Heaven on Earth came in and saved the day— not only giving him a second chance, but literally nursing him back to health. You must understand- Simba was not eating and needed a feeding tube, refused to be touched by humans, and had removed all the hair from his own tail. His previous life had been so traumatic and everyone had given up on him. But Heaven on Earth nursed him to health and gave him the chance to have a healthy and happy life. Today, Simba loves playing with his dozens of toys, getting all the pets from his humans, but best of all, loves napping next to his brother, Casper. He’s particularly fond of listening to Barbra Streisand on vinyl during these quiet moments.

I started volunteering here in 2018 and have really enjoyed it. I’ve done a lot of mobile events, socialization, enrichment and special projects like filming and marketing. One of my fosters (Bear—see photo) found his forever home in Malibu, where he lives like a king; the other (Keller) was deaf and blind and is now a sanctuary cat. I look forward to participating in Race for the Rescues each year, and I always find my time here rewarding and fulfilling.

I have been involved with Heaven on Earth for over fifteen years and have seen firsthand its incredible upward trajectory. From its beginnings as a sanctuary for those cats often overlooked for adoption, this highly reputable organization has expanded its lifesaving programs to include a foster program, a hospice foster program and expanded its adoption program to include adoption events at local area PetSmarts as well at its adoption center, Perry’s Place. It’s SpayShip Transport Program has facilitated the spay & neuter of over 9,000 cats since its inception. The Heaven on Earth clinic located at the West Valley Shelter has helped spay & neuter over 1,850 dogs and cats. The staff is courteous and professional and the volunteers are highly dedicated. I highly recommend this professionally run rescue!

Its such a wonderful place. The environment, the people are all truly amazing.

I called them to take care of a stray kitten and pick up and put it up for adoption. They were very receptive and came out and trapped the kitten. They were professional, kind and compassionate. The Spay Ship program is a wonderful program that they have. I have also donated to Perry's Place and find them to do a wonderful job in finding foster and permanent homes for cats

The organization does not only rescue cats but it also promotes kindness and good attitude to animals. Their emails are really inspiring to help our small fluffy friends. I am really grateful we adopted a kitten from this shelter. The people who work there are real kindness-makers :)

I have attended some of their fundraising events which were fantastic. I loved visiting and playing with the cats, being with people who just love the cats, and so appreciating how lovingly each cat is treated, from kittens to seniors. I really know my donations are being put to good use. I have recommended them to people who are interested in adopting a cat. I already have my legal limit I have rescued from the outside. However that did not stop me from falling in love with their cats. Giving donations allows me to give love to all the cats.

Heaven on Earth/Perry's Place is WONDERFUL! Over the last few years, I have adopted two 10-year-old cats and a have one hospice foster cat from them. The people who work there are amazing, and bend over backwards to help. When I have to leave town, they graciously take my hospice foster cat, who takes pills, ear drops and IV's, because it's too much for a roommate or house-sitter to handle. The med tech crew and vet are amazing, and have tried many different solutions to stop the smell and irritation of my hospice foster cats' stinky ears (these drops are the best so far; thank you!).
The staff at Heaven on Earth/Perry's Place cares so much for their rescued cats: seniors, disabled and skittish cats few people would take in, along with easily adoptable cats and kittens. I look forward to them reopening so I can visit the different rooms and play and pet the cats.
Thanks you for providing me with my lovely fur babies Dusty (R.I.P.), Pepe and Cassidy. Dusty passed away of cancer a few months ago, but he gave me almost 3 wonderful years of unconditional love; he was a true velcro/lap cat. Pepe is now 12 and Cassidy is 14, and both are doing pretty good! I hope I have a long relationship with Heaven on Earth/Perry's Place!

I continue to donate to Heaven on Earth because of the dedication of the all the individuals involved. They are so conscientious, both in staying in touch with donors, and in making visible and real the daily work of saving and caring for the cats. They do work I wish I could do myself- but because I can't, I gratefully provide donations and know they are well-spent..

Heaven on Earth truly cares about their cats. They make sure that they are well taken care of and that their forever homes are safe and happy. All four of my cats came from HESA in one way or another. I always recommend them when anyone is looking for a cat as they try to match personalities and lifestyle so that the cat fits in to their new home.

A-No. 1 rescue and adoption!

Most beautiful facilities and mommy/kitties hospital!

Love our orange crazy cat we adopted 6 years ago.

I love volunteering at their facility. Everyone is so caring and the cats are in a humane environment

I have been lucky enough to volunteer at Perry's Place , a cat sanctuary that rescues the most at risk cats & kittens. There are kittens so tiny & full of energy, but also old timers, Silver Whiskers, over 20 years old. All are well loved & taken care of & just waiting to have furever homes. I also get to help out at the PetSmart in Tujunga that brings the kitties. from Perry's Place out into the world to meet their potential families. Check out heavenlypets.org to find a new adoptable or foster family member!

I love helping volunteer at Perry’s place. The staff are always kind, and the environment is kept well sanitized. The cats are always great company to visit, and are beautifully taken care after.

I volunteered for Heaven on Earth Pereys Place for about a year until I developed health problems and the covid hit. I enjoyed helping with the adoption of the cats and kittens every week and really enjoyed being apart of helping people adopt them. Perry's place cares not only for the cats themselves but are also very careful to place each cat into a loving forever home. They are exceptional when it comes to rescue and adoption.

I never had a cat because I am allergic to them. So I knew nothing about them. When a feral mamma cat gave birth to her 3rd litter in my back yard, I knew I had to do something to stop all these little babies from being born into a world with no one to take care of them. I asked friends, I went online, I scrambled to try to find advice and help. I had no idea what to do. Then, by the grace of God, I came across Heaven on Earth Society for Animals. I called the phone number and within a day I got a call back from an angel. Her name is Jennifer Parsignault. She is the head of the SpayShip program. She explained that I could trap the cats and have them neutered at no cost as long as I would agree to take them back to my backyard and care for them. I was hesitant about the commitment, discussed it with my husband and we were on board. Feeling uneasy about trying to trap the cats myself with a trap that Heaven on Earth would provide, Jennifer said she could send a trapper to my home to do the job. Allen was an expert and he got not only mamma and baby but also dad and another cat in the group. Off they went and the next day were returned to me. I've had them for over 4 years. I have learned to love and respect them, to enjoy their entertaining antics and to realize how blessed I am to have them and Heaven on Earth in my life. I gladly donate to the nonprofit and hope, through the donations of many others, their tireless work can continue for many years to come. So far they have helped an amazing 8,000 cats!!!

I have adopted three cats from three different rescues within Los Angeles County. Heaven on Earth is by far the best rescue I have ever adopted from. Before I adopted my third cat, I could tell that the kitties at this rescue were treated a lot better than other rescues and that the volunteers actually care about the kitties and where they end up. After we adopted our cat, they actually followed up to see how she was doing in her new home. My other two cats didn't get any sort of follow up. After our wonderful experience with adoption, I decided I wanted to volunteer with them. I took a tour of the facilities and learned about the process by which Heaven on Earth acquires kitties, the stages kitties go through before being considered adoptable (surgeries, healthcare, socialization, etc). I signed up to be a substitute caretaker and event volunteer. Unfortunately, a lot of this was put on hold due to Covid and the shutdowns but I have been kept up-to-date on all of the adoptions that have been done virtually and which kitties are being fostered. Heaven on Earth is comprised of a few actual employees but mostly it's a large group of passionate volunteers and a community that donates to them as much as possible. The kitties they adopt out are well cared for and obviously loved. They integrate into their new families so well because such great care is taken when finding the new pet parents. I tell everyone about Heaven on Earth and try to donate items/money as often as I can because I truly believe in what they are doing and believe them to be the most honest and passionate rescue in LA.

Heaven on Earth, and its leadership, came through in a crisis - when time had run out and no one else could help - and dynamically moved heaven and earth (no pun intended) using creativity and teamwork in order to put themselves into a position to be able to help. They did this because of their devotion and dedication to our magnificent little fur friends the cats. This is an outstanding rescue organization and well worth any donation, large and small, that can be given to it. Thank you Heaven on Earth.

I got involved with cat rescue, when I learned of the horrible statistics regarding cats and kittens, in the Southern California area. Because of our climate, kitten season just never ends. I do whatever I can to help the LA County shelter felines, especially at the Downey shelter, where the kill rate is totally unacceptable.

Heaven on Earth has saved thousands of lives over the years, and I am so grateful, that many of their saves are Downey kitties.

Perry's Place, the home of Heaven on Earth, is a wondrous thing. I have been there on several occasions, and It is spotlessly clean, has terrific "apartments" for the resident cats, both permanent and those up for adoption. The staff is amazing, kind, and motivated. I can't say enough good things about this terrific non-profit.

I hope that some day, there will be no need for this back-and heartbreaking work, but until then, Heaven on Earth is leading the way to a no-kill city.

Great people. Wonderful cats. Helped me find four lovely cat companions - three of whom were brothers I adopted all at once to fill my house with happy purrs and chirrups. A couple of years later I added a lovely little tortie kitty who decided I was her person and jumped into my arms at an event at the Sanctuary. How could I not take her home? If you want to add a cat or a few to your home, this is the place to go. From little tiny babies to older more settled and staid adults, they have them all. And they will help you make the absolutely purrfect match.

Excellent place. I adopted my kitty from here. When I visited I was so so impressed by the location and how well the cats are treated. I love the feral rescue- allowing cats that came from living outdoors to still have a safe outdoor space.

Cannot say enough about how impressed I am with this organization. So happy to support their wonderful work!

Couldn't recommend this place more. We were looking for a kitty to complement our hyper 6 month old kitten, and after browsing online we went to Heaven on Earth with the intention of meeting Pink. It was instant love!

Pink is SUPER sweet and well socialized; all cats are also vaccinated, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and you are provided with their medical history. The staff are awesome and knowledgeable about the cats' particular needs and quirks. They really want the best for the cats, and truly care about matching you with the right pet. They were firm on Pink needing to be adopted to a home with another cat due to his energy level, which I totally agree with and is exactly what we wanted! My two kitties are now inseparable and love chasing each other around all day (and night...) They're perfect together. Thank you to everyone for your hard work taking care of these kitties - we love Pink so much!

It is an honor and a privilege to express my deepest gratitude to Heaven on Earth by writing a review.

I was so impressed with the thoroughness of Heaven on Earth’s adoption process—and the care and compassion that the staff demonstrated toward their kittens and cats—that I became a volunteer, devoting nearly three days a week to assist in adopting, cleaning, and socializing cats and kittens.

My volunteer experience has allowed me to see firsthand all the organization’s daily responsibilities. As a sanctuary, Heaven on Earth provides care for the youngest kittens, many of whom are rescued from shelters, arriving motherless and in need of medical care. After training, I assisted in the care for these kittens, from washing to feeding to socializing them. I have seen the most vulnerable shelter kittens regain their health and then thrive in the sanctuary—assisting in their adoption to their new “forever homes” is amazing.

The most radical love that I have experienced at Heaven on Earth is how their caregivers, medical team, and volunteers give to the elder, feral, and special needs cats who call Heaven on Earth home—some have lived at the sanctuary since its first days at Perry’s Place. When the elder and special needs cats are adopted, you can feel the love that everyone has for those longtime residence who are moving into a new home.

In addition, I am impressed with the compassion that the organization demonstrates not only to kitten and cats, but also to its adopters. Once a kitten/cat has been adopted, staff make themselves available to lend assistance in helping adopters and the kittens/cats adjust to each other. Follow up emails and phone calls, of course; and most importantly, home visits are scheduled, if a cat or adopter needs help. Invaluable service. That’s commitment! That’s why I volunteer!

As a volunteer, I am an advocate for Heaven on Earth because of its total and lifelong care that it provides for cats, kittens, and adopters.

This place really is Heaven on Earth. Everyone who works there is so passionate and welcoming, and the cats who find themselves there are truly lucky to be so cared for. It also is an amazing place to volunteer for!! Anyone who loves cats should definitely visit.

Cares deeply for cats and kittens of all ages and health. Rescues over 500 every year. Works hard to help LA City reach its zero kill level for domestic animals

I have witnessed this group rescue so many kittens and cats, caring for them through so many traumas, illnesses, and so on. They make sure they all go to good homes, and care for them until they do, with such deep love, and respect, for their lives and comfort.
They helped me rescue a cat some time ago; then, sadly, when I couldn't keep him, they took him back. I hope he found a great home. (Since that time, I've discovered my allergies won't allow a cat back into my life at the moment, but I love them from afar.)
They are so giving and kind. I feel honored to be friends with one of their staff members, and so I get to hear wonderful stories. Heaven on Earth is well worth supporting. Love them.

I have three wonderful cats that I adopted at different times from this rescue. They are extremely caring and want to ensure that the transition for both the cat and the family go as smoothly as possible. They work hard to find great homes for the cats and to find a great fit for what the adopters are looking for. There is no judgment based on what they think you "should" get, only careful and wise recommendations as to what might work best in your home. They do their best to ensure that the cat will be in a safe and loving environment and that the adopter(s) have a good understanding of the individual cat's needs.

Heaven on Earth is an amazing organization fill with selfless volunteers who are very informative of the cats and their personalities. The biggest perk with working with Heaven on Earth, is their number 1 priority; The Cats!

Hi, after almost 20 years as a volunteer at the city shelters the politics and death rate finally got to me and i left. However, leaving also left an empty place in my heart and though i looked at other rescues it seemed the politics overwhelmed the placing of the animals until a friend called and directed me to Perry's place. Here i found a place where the cats health and welfare were the main concern followed as a close second to finding them good forever homes. Here the volunteers way outnumber the paid staff and there isn't a one that doesn't do it for the love of the animals. I started out at the sanctuary and worked my way up to doing mobiles. We don't care if you have a special room for kitty, just as long as you have a loving heart and will keep them safe. I love it here and will help as long as i am able. Debbie

I have been a volunteer for Heaven on Earth for 9 month’s now. I help take care of the cats that are up for adoption at the Petsmart in Encino. I am impressed with the hard work and dedication of everybody that have come in contact with in this organization. I’m so proud to be part of an organization that helps save cat lives and cares about the families that adopt them . It has been my privilege to work with such wonderful caring people . Michele Kafity

Heaven on Earth is truly the perfect name for this most amazing organization! I am so lucky to get to volunteer at Heaven on Earth and learn first hand what love on a large scale looks like. The incredibly knowledgeable staff treats all kitties (and people too!) with such kindness, care, and compassion. The organization's devotion to saving the lives of cats in such a joyful and respectful manner is more than inspiring and is just a real gift to the world. They've literally thought of everything to ensure their precious Perry's Place sanctuary residents are healthy and content. Even more, their expertly thought out plans to find good homes for the cats (at the sanctuary or via mobile events) and their outstanding adoption materials make it easy to have a happy adoption experience. I can't say enough about this dedicated and wonderful group of people! If you want to see Heaven on Earth please stop by and see these kitty and human angels in action :)

I have been involved with Heaven on Earth for a number of years. I may be biased but I would not be a part of this organization if I did not believe in the great life-saving work they do! The staff is hard working and committed to the cats and kittens in their care and the dedicated volunteers keep the place humming! One of their life-saving programs is the SpayShip transport Program which offers trapping and transport to and from spay/neuter clinics. This program is free to the community and is vital in keeping under aged kittens from entering the shelter system. Since the program’s inception SpayShip has services over 6,000 cats!

Heaven on Earth is a superb charity whose care for cats is evident in everything they do. Working as a volunteer, I have had the ability to work with most of the staff and the director and everyone is incredibly enthusiastic about their mission to provide homes for cats and to reduce the burden of county shelters in an effort to make LA a no-kill city. Additionally, Heaven on Earth provides a sanctuary that can provide a safe and permanent housing situation for those cats not able to adopted to homes for health reasons. The staff and volunteers at the sanctuary place the utmost care and concern for every cat and are great at matching potential adopters to their ideal cat. Over the past few years, I have seen Heaven on Earth grow by leaps and bounds in the number of cats adopted and saved from county shelters, signifying that the charity is under great leadership and can continue to make greater strides for our feline friends and our community.

I got acquainted with them several years ago when my husband discovered their work. We were looking for some place to take our cats should anything happen to us both. My first visit to Perry's Place was impressive. It was clean and they took great care to treat each cat according to his/her health needs. We decided we want our cats to go here. What better praise? These folks are focused on feline issues and they truly care about them. I then supported their activities and eventually came on the board. They are creative, ethical and committed to making this organization thrive. You won't be disappointed with Heaven on Earth as an adopter, a volunteer or a board member!

When I first adopted two cats from Heaven On Earth, i became aware of the passion this group has for animals. They CARE From my first introduction to a volunteer adoption counselor in Petsmart, to the process of ensuring the cats would have a good life in my home--this group displayed great organization and communication. I was impressed! Their website became one of my regular spots to visit, and it inspired me to later become a volunteer. I saw what lengths this group goes to to make a better life for animals, and to coordinate efforts with other rescue groups and shelters. Heaven on Earth deserves high praise not only for saving lives, spay/neuter, and giving hope to innocent creatures but also for enriching the lives of all the humans who adopt or become active in a non-profit. "Lead by example" i am forever grateful for my friends at Heaven On Earth and for helping me channel energy to make the world a better place.

Adopted a wonderful cat from this great organization! Proud to support this no-kill sanctuary for cats. The people that work here are amazing and dedicated. Adoption process was pleasant and smooth; volunteers were very helpful. Heaven on Earth is truly divine.

Nice place and the cats seemed well taken care of, but the women there are very rude, particularly one older woman who seemed like she was in charge and actively discouraged me from thinking about adopting a second cat because my cat was older and "set in his ways" (never heard that one before), told me they had "enough" volunteers when I inquired about helping out, angrily yelled at my friend for not knowing she needed to apply sanitizer before touching the cats, and was just generally unpleasant and downright hostile from the moment we walked in there. I also filled out the form with my contact info but was never added to the mailing list. These are the kinds of people you have running your institution?

It's unfortunate I didn't get the woman's name, otherwise I'd be complaining about her directly. Just a nasty, rude, unpleasant woman whose bad attitude has definitely spread among the others there. Fire her.

Heaven on Earth came to my rescue while taking care of my father in the San Fernando, CA, area I befriended a feral kitten, I called Toey ( she had extra toes ) when she was about 6-7 months old the Tom cats started coming around. I contacted Heaven on Earth for their SpayShip program and they brought a cage to trap her, picked her up, spayed her, & gave her shots, then brought her back to be released...all free of charge as she was feral then. No unwanted kittens, and Toey is a very lovable cat now.

Heaven on Earth is an awesome cat rescue that is doing a lot to save animal lives in Los Angeles.

From trapping and neutering feral cats to prevent more wild births to pulling vulnerable cats and kittens from high-kill city shelters to providing a cage-free place to stay for older, not-likely-to-be-adopted cats, they are in my opinion the premier rescue in the LA area. It is great helping them make all this happen as a volunteer!

Heaven on Earth is a wonderful place to volunteer. Everyone there has the same goal, and that's rescuing cats from death row, and finding them loving and forever homes. All of the cats are well cared for and are loved. I have been volunteering for 5 years and look forward to another 5.

I've been volunteering with Heaven on Earth cat sanctuary for 1.5 years. This is a wonderful nonprofit organization! Very professional, efficient & friendly staff/volunteers. The cats are well cared for, and what I love most about this no-kill group is they not only "pull" highly adoptable cats from local shelters, but also intake senior cats, mothers with kittens, and special needs kitties (such as diabetic & FIV+) AND they have a really neat "Spayship Program" --- making big efforts to reduce cat overpopulation at the source (check it out! http://www.heavenlypets.org/spayship/). Further, they partner with about 6 different Petco/Petsmart locations in the SF Valley which greatly increases their adoption rates due to exposure & in-store adoption events. I'm more than happy to be contributing my time to Heaven on Earth.

Heaven on Earth truly is a special place. They do incredible work helping homeless cats that have run out of options. I have been a volunteer since 2009, I have adopted my little girl cat from them, and I continue to fundraise and vouch for them whenever I can. The staff and volunteers are friendly and passionate; the facility is warm and inviting. The successes of lives saved is an inspiration and keeps me coming back!

Heaven on Earth rescue has helped countless cats and kittens find their forever homes. I cannot say enough good things about heaven on earth, they help animals in need.

I have been volunteering at Heaven On Earth for more than 6 years. I love everything about this rescue. I can't get enough!

These folks work so hard for their kitties! The top priority is helping cats, who would probably otherwise die in shelter, get another chance for a loving home. The sanctuary Heaven on Earth provides is a safe, clean, healthy, loving environment for cats of all ages and needs.

Heaven on Earth works with many of our local pet stores as a way of showing off kitties in need of homes- when you go to a PetSmart in our neighborhood- those kitties in the adoption center are from the sanctuary and ready for a loving, forever home. All the cats are spayed, neutered, and chipped- ready to go!! Heaven on Earth even delivers and helps the new kitty family get ready for their new member.

There are never too many good animal advocates. Heaven on Earth Society for Animals Inc seems to be a real thing. :)

This cat rescue is the BEST! They have such a large selection of different cats and kitties of all ages and breeds. Their adoption specialists will take the time to find the right cat that fits your personality and make sure you have a new best friend for life! Great place to add to your family if you are looking to do so. The people who work there are so friendly and kind! It really is Heaven on Earth!

I volunteer at Heaven on Earth and I absolutely love it. They are so sweet to the kitties and the work they do in Los Angeles is so important. They take in countless homeless and shelter cats that might not have ever been adopted and provide a safe place for them to recover and become ready to meet their new families. They help bring in the best kinds of people looking for a new pet! The volunteers are there to keep the place clean and most importantly, to socialize with the cats. Heaven on Earth really is a wonderful community with heart and love at the core!

I adopted from them my most loving kitty. When I soon discovered that I was very allergic to her, they personally found her a new great family. Heaven on Earth is unique in its vast array of services for cats, dogs and people. They even let me know how she
Was doing and they visited her new home to make certain all was good.

I knew Heaven on Earth when they were still in a little house in Van Nuys. I used to literally take truckloads of donations over whenever I could. I always wanted to volunteer but I worked too many hours and then ended up moving out of state. I have kept track of them online though and I am so thrilled at how they have flourished. Absolutely a wonderful organization doing awesome work from the very beginning!

I started volunteering for Heaven On Earth over a year ago. They are extremely dedicated to their cause and every thing that this organization does is for the animals. They are constantly looking for new ways to be productive. They are a small organization but growing quickly.

Heaven on Earth has helped me adopt the best cats ever!!! Over the years they've picked the 4 perfect family members to welcome into my home. Wonderful place!!!!

Heaven on Earth is a wonderful organization that helps so many cats get a chance at "the good life" in a home. I am a volunteer and a donor that drives multiple hours a few times a year to bring supplies and socialize the cats. The care each cat receives is fantastic. They have also extended their facilities to a couple of cats that I personally knew who were not doing well in a shelter environment. Every time I see these cats, I am grateful that they have a loving place to stay while waiting for their forever home. I cannot say enough about how great this organization is! The people, the facility- everything is first rate!!!

The compassion and caring the staff and volunteers at Heaven On Earth give the kitties in their care is second to none. In addition, they also provide an invaluable service with helping to refer people to low cost spay/neuter/vaccine outlets for tame and feral cats as well as assisting with transporting cats to those venues for people who are unable to do so. They provide a perfect blueprint that all non-profits should take note of and follow. I thank Pam and the crew for the help and support they have given me as a fellow rescuer.

Heaven on Earth is a God-send. They always are there for the kitties in need, and their facility is top-notch. The cats there are the luckiest homeless cats because the staff and volunteers really care showing them great love, attention and meeting their every need. It's truly one of the best non-profits I've ever experienced.

This is an amazing non-profit, no-kill shelter for cats here in the Los Angeles area. I recently adopted an adult cat and an amazing little kitten which is bringing my two young boys and me such great joy and pleasure. The team from Heaven on Earth brought the cats, requisite paperwork, and an initial food supply to my house. They also stayed for over an hour to ensure the cats transitioned well and that I had as much helpful information possible to start the journey of cat adoption. This is an extremely professional, caring, and consistent non-profit that makes a healthy difference in our world.

This is the sweetest most caring non profit for animals I've ever known. The staff is devoted to saving and caring for cats. They are always on call and ready at the drop of a dime to go help. The company is run with utmost dedication and love.

Love the attention to detail to the cats, their care and making sure that they not only go to a home, but the right home.

I am so glad to have Heaven on Earth in my life! I started volunteering with them about a year ago, and I don't think I'll ever want to stop. The other volunteers are caring and welcoming, the sanctuary staff is knowledgable and dedicated, and the board members work hard every day to create change and growth within the rescue and beyond. (Plus, the cats are the best! Hanging out with them is extremely rewarding.)

Talking to and working with potential adopters is a real treat; I have seen many cats go to loving homes since I started volunteering. I am learning every day, and am sharing what I learn with friends, family, and my community. I even ended up with an extra kitty along the way! ;)

Any cat OR person with Heaven on Earth in their lives should consider themselves very lucky!

Heaven on Earth is a great organization that is not only a haven for homeless kitties but provides an enjoyable experience for people, too! It's a welcoming, clean, friendly environment where the cats are clearly well cared for and attended to. When I walked through, there were many volunteers spending time with the kitties and giving them love. There's even great artwork on the walls! I like the positive vibe and am looking forward to going back and possibly volunteering as well.

Heaven on Earth is a wonderful organization. The bulk of my interactions were with Pam and Becky and Patty. They were in my opinion great people with an even greater love from the heart for that which they spend their lives doing. Making the world a better place one kitty at a time!! I have a 9.5 year old Golden Retriever who had lost her brother just 6 months prior. She and I would go to pet smart where she always wanted to go see the kitty's. This continued for several weeks, as I pondered the idea of reintroducing a kitty into our lives, to help fill that which was missing. As we made another trip to pet smart on this occasion we met Pam. I explained to her the particulars of my life at present, Pam suggested that Pistachio would be a good fit. Pistachio is a little kitty who has been through a rough patch her entire life, and was a little bit reserved but sweet and loving. On our follow up meet and greet Patty and Pam were helpful in coordinating everyone into the room to see how the interactions would unfold. As we proceeded Pam and Becky were very flexible and willing to meet the demands of my ever changing schedule. Pam delivered Pistachio to her new home at which point my dog walked up and kissed me on the cheek. (TRUE STORY). Since then Pistachio is very happy, she loves the dog and enjoys getting on the top of her and doing the kitty mothering routine, for as long as the dog can take it.
I am grateful and appreciative that Pistachio is now a part of my family, she was truly Heaven sent!!
Thank you to all my friends at Heaven on Earth!!

Heaven and Earth clearly has a loving staff. They show genuine care for thier animals. In addition, they know each animals story and times, heartbreak. They were thorough in the interviews. Though, some might find this a bit much, we found it to be in the best interest of future pets. We love our cat Baffi, he is sheer joy and he is the best alarm clock each morning.

Heaven on Earth does a wonderful job caring for special needs and homeless cats. I visited the shelter several years ago and was very impressed with the facilities and the caring compassion of the staff. I'm sure that has only gotten better with the opening of Perry's Place.

Everyone wants to see a cat find his or her forever home, but knowing that the cats that don't get adopted and call the sanctuary their home are safe, well looked after and loved - makes all the difference to me. It's also the kitties that have medical issues or are seniors and have a lesser chance of being adopted that find their forever home with Heaven on Earth.

I've been a long time volunteer at the sanctuary and whether it's cleaning carriers, doing paperwork or spending time with the kitties, I know it all makes a difference.

A place where cats can call home and receive love and care from the staff and volunteers as they work to find forever homes.. An amazing amount of love and care goes into every cat that comes into Perry's Place, and it is very satisfying to see the cats that come under their care flourish and blossom into healthy, adoptable beings ready for the right person to come along.

I am both a donor and someone who has adopted from Heaven on Earth Society. The employees and volunteers clearly care about the organization's mission and show a great deal of care and compassion for the animals. The facility is clean and well maintained and they are diligent about speaking with a prospective adoptive human family to make sure that the pet they take home is a good match for that particular person.

Four years ago, a little ferro cat was hanging around the house, she was merely a kitten, but was 6 months old and in heat, and sure enough the Tom cat's came around, not knowing what to do as I could not have her having the kittens multiply here at my 90 year old dads house, I went online and found ,
Heaven on Earth, I e-mailed them and it was less than 1/2 a day I got a response from them, they brought a trap for her to take her to another wonderful organization called FixNation you nueterd her for free, Heaven on Earth , picked her up and brought her back the same night, all for no charge..She also got her shots...She is still an outdoor cat, but now sits in my lap but she will not come inside.. Hey name is "Toey," as she has 4 extra toes on her front paws...
I try to make donations when I can, I am a senior and on a fixed income, but this is the place to donate to ,the workers and staff are so friendly and so so helpful and most important, Love Cats...
Sincerely, Marsha

This is a group of dedicated staff and volunteers working week in and week out to find permanent, loving homes for abandoned cats. The majority of our cats come from county shelters where they have been red-listed and have little or no chance for survival. At Heaven on Earth, it's all about the cats, and I am very proud to be associated with so many unselfish, caring people.

The Heaven on Earth Society for Animals is a first class organization sheltering hard-to-place cats. The founders and staff are wonderful, dedicated people. I give annually to HOESA and urge you to as well if you care about the fate of older and medically challenged cats and kittens.

A wonderful organization of people who are truly devoted to caring for cats.

Heaven on Earth has a beautiful facility for caring for their cats and is welcoming to adoptive families. I adopted three cats from Heaven on Earth, and they assisted me with rescuing a cat from another shelter. Two of the cats I adopted were difficult to place as they didn't "show well". Heaven on Earth was very patient while I made up my mind to adopt. I have been extremely happy with all three of my little boys, and always recommend Heaven on Earth to my friends.

These people really care about cats. They make sure that each and every one of them is treated with care and concern and they do their best to find good homes for them. Heaven On Earth is committed to saving lives and seeing to it that all cats are given a chance for a good life.

Saves the lives of cats who would otherwise die in shelters

This is a loving, safe place for cats! The staff and volunteers are excellent and it shows in the care they give to the cats. I love going there and I firmly believe every cat there already has a wonderful place to live while they wait to be adopted into their forever home. Some will live out their days there due to health issues, but they feel loved and well cared for and it's a great solution for them. I can't say enough good things about Perry's Place and Heaven on Earth! We visit quite often! They are doing a really good service there!!!

Nine years ago, after my husband and I had lost a beloved cat, we started to look for a new member of the family. We encountered Heaven on Earth at a mall and with tears in my eyes, I found two Tabby kittens in a carrier. We had been looking for only one new cat, but were asked if we would take two since they were, and are, so bonded to each other. With due diligence, before we could "adopt" the two kittens we were thoroughly vetted including a visit to our home. Indiana and Sabrina are now a delightful part of our 5 cat family (all foundlings).

That was our introduction to Heaven On Earth and to Pam and Ritchie Geisel. We were delighted when they were able to purchase their new location and were privileged to be taken on tours as the building progressed from commercial to a very carefully planned shelter.

What they do for unwanted cats is truly special. It breaks my heart to hear about the number of cats and dogs that are destroyed in LA. Heaven On Earth has undertaken a monumental task to save as many cats as possible and find homes for them.

My husband and I continue to support Heaven On Earth in any way we can. I would happily volunteer at the shelter, but my husband strongly objects because I would come home with another cat and with our current 5, there is no more room on our bed.

I had just written a book about a rescued cat who now lives in a Villa in Italy (true Story), and all the profits were to go to animal care and rescue. A friend turned me on to Heaven on Earth and I met Eri Kreitman.
Once I heard her back story I knew that this was a place I wanted to support. I have watched how they have grown in the last few years and couldn't be happier. I continue to support them and always will.

We adopted a healthy, happy kitty from H on E. They really care about their cats. The cats live in clean rooms and get plenty of attention. The staff carefully checks out potential adopters to make sure that the kitties are going to a good home. Their adoption fees are fair and reasonable. I like how they have rescued special needs kitties who otherwise wouldn't have made it out of the pound.

Great group of volunteers! Kind, compassionate and loving. They also get things done & save lives!
I've adopted and volunteered with Heaven on Earth & I believe they are at the top of great Animal rescues in Los Angeles area.

We have been foster parents to two kittens, one of whom got adopted and one of whom we adopted (he was too sweet to let go). HoE is one of the best run shelters I have ever seen. The animals' lives are respected and they are treated with respect. The facility is sparkling clean and the people are friendly and professional. It's a pleasure to work with them.

I am a happy client and donor. Thanks to the knowledge and compassion of great volunteers, I got the cat I always wanted. In January 2013. Velvet, a beautiful black cat with enormous yellow eyes, joined me and my male cat Phillip. She filled the hole in our hearts left by the untimely death of another shelter cat.

This place is amazing. We discovered it when my 5 year old son wanted to donate his first allowance ($1.25) to "save all the cats in the world." I knew we'd found the right place when Eri, the founder, was in tears as she accepted his donation. Though the shelter has now relocated for the third time and it has grown to serve dozens more cats and has an extensive network of volunteers, that same sense of caring can be found. Really. The directors- who devote their heart and souls to this place-- know the name of every single cat, where they are located, what temperament they have, and any health issues. Music can be heard playing, the rooms are bright and clean, and every cat is looked after as if is the most important... even the feral, unsociable cats. The volunteers are equally dedicated and loving. I just wish every homeless cat had the chance to live here! We know that every penny we donate will be carefully spent, and every feline nurtured.

About two years ago I rescued a starving and injured feral cat off the street. According to neighbors the cat had been around for at least 14-15 years, living on the street. I have three dogs and could not bring the cat home, so I had to board him while he recuperated at my vets. The vet's diagnosis was advanced renal failure, and he said if I couldn't take the cat home, he would die within a 2-3 months in a crate at the vets. As great as my vet and his staff are, they could not give him the around-the-clock love and affection that he so dearly deserved, merely basic medical care to alleviate any discomfort or pain. I considered euthanization until I heard of Heaven On Earth from a fellow animal rescuer who said they had a wonderful hospice program for very senior cats in need of a dignified final resting place. I contacted them and they responded immediately for me to bring the cat to them. They took in this fragile, elderly and sick cat, and gave him love, affection, and medication, until he died in his sleep in his bed, surrounded by his new buddies. They never asked me for a dime. My wife and I were able to make a donation and they seemed truly appreciative of the small amount we could afford to give them.They are angels on earth, and they deserve all the support that they can get, financially and volunteer-wise. They are a shining example of the very best of what unconditional love can do.

For the otherwise unwanted cats that pass through its doors, Heaven on Earth is just that. A welcoming, friendly place to pass the time while waiting for their forever homes, or a permanent refuge where they can live out their lives with the love and care they deserve. The two beautiful adult cats I adopted from them survived their difficult early years on the streets yet came to me healthy, happy and well-adjusted due to their life saving stays at Perry’s Place. I am forever grateful that Heaven on Earth gave them the attention, care and love they needed until we found each other.

Heaven on Earth is a lovely safe haven for cats and kittens. i visited their facility Perry's Place when I was looking to adopt. It's a lovely home to many cats of all ages and "stripes." The staff is helpful and truly dedicated to finding not just homes - but the right homes - for all their feline charges.

I started volunteering for Heaven on Earth in December 2013 when they started having adoption events near my house. It has been a very rewarding experience being a part of a great volunteer team working to find homes for the cats that are often rescue from shelters just in time! The staff, as well, are very special and caring people who work long hours to make sure the cats have the best chance possible to find their forever home. The health of the cats is a primary concern and providing a happy emotional environment until a home is found is also important to both staff and volunteers. I hope to be a volunteer for many years to come.

Heaven on Earth is a fantastic cat rescue group and sanctuary. I have been a volunteer since 2010, when I learned of HESA because they took in an elderly stray cat named Scrappy that a friend of mine was trying to find a home for. When my friend took Scrappy to HESA's sanctuary, I tagged along. I was so impressed with the organization and the commitment of the volunteers that I decided to become a volunteer myself. I have volunteered at many adoption events and have learned so much -- from how to write good bios about the cats to tips on helping adopters introduce a new cat to their home. HESA always puts cats first and I love the feeling of being involved in finding happy forever homes. I also regularly donate to HESA because I know that donations are well-used and really do make a difference in the lives of cats.

While I had heard many great things about 'Heaven on Earth' for years, I was recently able to get a tour of Perry's Place from Leandra and Suzanne and was extremely impressed.

They helped adopt a beautiful 1 1/2 year old cat that has been very welcomed to our home. Very helpful with questions and great information to help make everyone comfortable. Thanks for your Help!

When I became a volunteer here at Heaven on Earth I was so happy to see the cats playing around in their different rooms. Some cats needed to be on a diet, some had FIV, and some were kittens, all in separate rooms to be taken care of accordingly. They had plenty of toys, plenty of cat scratchers, plenty of healthy food and many were very friendly towards the volunteers and I.

I actually started to cry seeing these beautiful cats. I wanted to adopt them all. I hope that more people come and visit to adopt these angels. These cats really do deserve a nice home.

Heaven on Earth is a nice place for these animals, definitely 10x's better than a shelter where most cats are frightened by the loud noise, whereas Heaven on Earth provides soothing music, shelves, and beds for these cats.

I love this place and I hope more get adopted out. I unfortunately could not stay as a volunteer because the commute was too far for me. If it was closer though I would go every weekend.

Wonderful sanctuary for cats. A few of us from the shelter where we regularly volunteer have made several day trips to HOE. The cats are lovingly cared for at this clean well-run facility. They have community rooms for like cats i.e. Retired, Shy, FIV, etc.

Heaven on Earth has taken many cats from the horrific Downey Shelter, a group I volunteer for. My facebook group sends out pleas and collect pledges to entice rescues to save as many cats as we can (sadly 70% don't make it out alive). Heaven on Earth gas taken some of our cats, including some of the sickest and saddest cases and have done amazingly well with them, from getting them healthy and finding loving homes. And they give the BEST updates. They are a wonderful group of caring individuals. No drama, no politics, like so many groups I've dealt with. They simply care. I will be giving them a nice donation at the end of the year so they can carry on with their great work.

I got involved with HOESA as a volunteer, cleaning and doing whatever was needed in the Sony cabin.
We had several feral cats at Sony Pictures that needed a place to go and HOESA stepped up to help.
All the feral cats are now re-homed in neighborhoods and on farms. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
I never realized how much work in involved in running a shelter like this but Pam and Ritchie manage to do this.
I also enjoyed playing with the cats, so many personalties. I adopted a cat from there named Chance a couple of years ago. I believe she was a foster from Best Friends. I still have her.
The only reason I am not there anymore is because of physical limitations (arthritis) which made it difficult to do a lot of cleaning. I still try to go to fund raisers and open houses.

I came to this organization because I love furry animals. I wanted to make a difference. They need your help so please always remember that they are our friends and helpless furry babies.

Heaven on Earth is an amazing sanctuary for cats. The staff and donors do amazing work. We adopted two rescue cats from them and we can't imagine our lives without our "babies". Heaven on Earth has a careful adoption process to make sure the cats find a safe home. They also take care of all the medical needs of the cats before the adoption. For the cats that do not get adopted, Heaven on Earth provides a beautiful and safe environment to live with other cats and lots of love from the staff. Heaven on Earth is a Godsend.

Took in a blind, elderly abandoned cat that had no place to go.....wonderful people

Heaven on Earth rescued Edward (now Toby) from a city shelter, where he was red-listed for euthanasia because he had not been adopted after a month. My husband and I found Toby at an adoption event near our home when we were looking for another cat to be a companion to our older female cat. Everyone at Heaven on Earth was friendly and very professional. They inspected our home to make sure it was appropriately furnished and safe for a cat, and then they brought Toby to us.

We believe strongly in rescue and adoption, and we are tremendously pleased with the service we received from Heaven on Earth. Most of all, we are thrilled to have Toby as a member of our family. He is a sweet, gentle, funny boy who has become our other cat's good friend. We are grateful to Heaven on Earth for saving his life and giving us a chance to know and love him. We have adopted cats from other, very worthwhile rescue organizations, but I would have to say that our experience with Heaven on Earth has been the best! We also donate to Heaven on Earth when we can.

I love what Heaven on Earth does for cats! I donate to them regularly, keep up with their various projects, read their newsletters, and have adopted my own wonderful little cat from them. First, I think their facility is amazing! They have done so much to make the homeless cats feel comfortable and at ease there. Second, they did an amazing job of finding the perfect cat for my household. I have 2 cats that were brother and sister, who can be a little rambunctious, but are also closely bonded, so I knew it would be tricky to introduce a new cat. However, they found the perfect match, and even helped me develop a successful plan for integrating her in the household. Now all three snuggle like they've all known one another since they were kittens. We couldn't be happier!

I love these guys - keep up the amazing work!!!

I had first learned about this wonderful organization back in 2000. I had just lost my eight year old calico Chloe to renal failure and wanted to adopt a new "baby."

I had adopted Sam from this wonderful organization. He was six months old when I had adopted him. He was and still is very shy, but what a wonderful baby. Sam is now 13 years old!

This organization really cares about the cats they care for and the volunteers are wonderful!

I used to work for this great organization and know first hand that they do amazing work. Many animals would not have a chance if it weren't for them. Thank you

I am a big cat fan. I am also an advocate for rescue. I have to say, of all the years I have been involved with rescues, Heaven On Earth is the best. From the staff, volunteers, everyone has been amazing. They are very organized and obviously love what they do. The rescue world is lucky to have them.

If you have the ability to do so, any donation would be put to very good use. I love cats and it is very appear any they do too.

I recently toured the facility and ended up adopting a cat from them. They are a one of a kind facility in my opinion. Not only do they rescue and find homes for kitties, they also provide life long homes for cats that won't get adopted, and they have a spay and neuter program for ferals, as well as helping other organizations rescue cats from kill shelters. They are very thorough when adopting a cat to make sure it goes to the right home. I fell in love with this place so much I am also not trying to volunteer when I can.

I have been involved with Heaven on Earth for almost a year now. My husband and I have been volunteering for the past four months. What a remarkable facility. No-kill, no-cage. They call their shelter a sanctuary, and they aren't wrong.

This no kill sanctuary is such a great facility. There are no cages and the animals are so well cared for. The staff is attentive and dedicated to the betterment of lives in all the animals that are taken in. The new facility is modern, clean and the staff makes sure it stays that way. I'm always impressed when i visit there and really get the feeling that this organization really does care and makes the animals their top priority. Also, when you do adopt from HESA, they don't just pass out the animals,...they screen and do home visits to make sure the animals are going to loving homes. Not all organizations do this.

There are many rescues out there, and this is one of the best. They are active, take the time and make the effort to communicate with the public. They are able to convey feelings rather than just say look at us and how wonderful we are...It is about the animals first.. That makes a difference for me, and how I view this organization.

The thing that makes Heaven on Earth different is the type of cats that they primarily work with. Those are the one that don't stand much of a chance of getting adopted, either from age, medical condition, disposition, or are physically challenged and their time has run out in the other shelter.

They provide a loving, caring enviorment for the cats to florish and enjoy the rest of their lives. The people involved from the board members to the volunteers demostrate that it is all about the needs of the cat first. I look forward to working with them in the future.

I've been watching the efforts of Heaven on Earth for over a year now, and I am continually amazed at the level of dedication, not just to the cats in their sanctuary, but to all cats they are able to offer help. From their brilliant Heaven Can Wait program to their vigilant adoption events EVERY weekend, this group means business. And I just saw on Facebook that their SpayShip program has assisted over 2000 cats to date. Just amazing.

While I'm a Board member now, it's only been a couple months. I started as a volunteer photo/video guy over a year ago. From my first day in their sanctuary, there was a genuine vibe from the cats (all 100+!) that they were happy, at peace and well taken care of. As I met more and more of the staff, volunteers and Board members, I could tell that I had offered my services wisely. It is SUCH a great feeling to see such dedication, such unwavering love for these precious little ones! I am quite happy to be part of a team whose sole objective is to give homeless animals a better life, whether it is with them or in the arms of a loving new home.

Heaven on Earth helped me with a colony of feral aka community cats that otherwise would have been displaced and possibly euthanized. Their commitment to help was so reassuring, I couldn't believe I had a group dedicated to all cats, tame, wild, old, sick, working with me to find a solution. They work diligently and tirelessly to provide sanctuary to cats and guidance to their humans and others looking for assistance in often difficult situations. This is a group I respect highly and hope to be affiliated with for a long time.

As Board President of Heaven on Earth for the past 9 years, I may be considered biased, but I also know this organization as well as just about anyone. I am both humbled to work with so many dedicated colleagues on the Board, as well as caring staff and volunteers, and proud of what we have accomplished on behalf of homeless animals. Most recently, on April 19, we dedicated our new Perry MacFarlane Sanctuary, in a special ceremony. This event followed exactly one month after a group of 40 volunteers re-located 125 cats from our previous rented house in Van Nuys to the specially designed facility we purchased in North Hollywood. Perry's Place provides a home to cats awaiting adoption, to cats whose age, health issues or other special needs make it likely that this will be their forever home, and to cats pulled from city and county shelters by our rescue partners who don't have a facility of their own. These cats stay with us during their quarantine period in our isolation space, before being fostered or adopted by our partners. This is our Heaven Can Wait Program. We have also recently resumed our SpayShip spay/neuter transport service. Heaven on Earth is a responsive (we return calls!), compassionate, professionally managed organization, that is modeling a spirit of collaboration (with other rescues, with Los Angeles City and County Animal Services, and with the general public. As a result, we are making an increasing difference in the lives of homeless animals.

This is a special group of people who stepped up and helped a group of caretakers who, in an impossible situation, had no where else to turn. The Heaven On Earth team helped facilitate a solution that saved the lives of many community cats under threat of being trapped and euthanized. Heaven On Earth is passionate and dedicated to making a difference in the lives of community cats and approach to animal overpopulation.

Heaven on Earth is such an amazing charity that is near and dear to my heart. There are so many amazing people that work so hard to save the life of kittens and cats alike. They specialize in saving kitties of all types including those that are older and have disabilities. Everyone deserves a chance! They save kitties from kill shelters, as well as do their best efforts to get kitties adopted. Those who don't get adopted need not worry-- they are well taken care of in a beautiful kitty sanctuary. Heaven on Earth also has spay/neuter services that help reduce the number of stray cats on the street.

These people are tireless and so dedicated! With their help of trap loans and transport help (on the days we couldn't do it) we were able to get a five-cat colony fixed on our street and they remain very healthy today. I shudder to think what would have happened to those poor kitties without Heaven on Earth, probably they would have bred until there were dozens and dozens of cats leading to misery all around.

I BECAME AWARE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH THROUGH A RELATIVE THAT HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS GREAT ORGANIZATION FOR YEARS. WE ARE NOW SUPPORTERS AND DONATE MONTHLY TO HELP AS MUCH AS WE CAN. THIS IS A "NO KILL" SHELTER GOING OUT AND RESCUING FERAL CATS TO HAVE THEM SPAYED AND HOPEFULLY ADOPTED OR PUT BACK ON THE STREETS BUT WITH NO CHANCE OF ADDING TO THE FERAL POPULATION. WE LIVE ON THE EAST COAST AND HOPE TO SOMEDAY VISIT THE SHELTER AND MEET OUR ADOPTED CAT "MERCEDES". SHE ALSO KEEPS ME INFORMED THROUGH HER MONTHLY EMAIL UPDATE!! THESE PEOPLE GO BEYOND THE NORM TO SEE THAT THESE CATS ARE APOPTED OUT AND IF NOT THEY SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES IN COMFORT AT THE SHELTER. SO FOR THEM IT BECOMES THEIR "REAL" HEAVEN ON EARTH. PLEASE HELP THIS WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION BY YOU SUPPORT .....JUST DOLLARS A MONTH MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE.

i became aware of Heaven on Earth while shopping at the Van Nuys Petco. the cats were all well behaved and lovable. This organization does not do same day adoptions because they research the pending families. I started volunteering at the shelter a few months ago. The minute i walk thru the door, im recognized and greeted by its residents. HOE is no kill and cage free-the animals interact with one another as well as the small staff and volunteers. I have recently referred people to this agency which resulted in an adoption. YAY!!

I started volunteering with Heaven on Earth in 2009. I liked that the sanctuary provides a home for animals deemed "unadoptable" by most people, some of them are older, have long term diseases that need treatment, or behavioral issues. Heaven on Earth is a great cage free, no kill sanctuary that I am happy to be invovled with. Not only do they provide a home for these animals, they provide an isolation program to allow other organizations to temporarily house their cats to ensure they are healthy before introducing them into foster homes. This allows animals to be pulled from the county shelters who otherwise would not have been. We also have a great trap, spay/ neuter and release program that helps tackle the feral cat population. Another way we are helping to alleviate the growing pet population is by providing transportation to spay/neuter pets when the owner is unable to do so.

Heaven on Earth is a professionally run organization that is not only committed to the animals it serves, but respects and appreciates it's staff and volunteers. Heaven on Earth is not your run-of-the-mill animal rescue. They operate unique and innovative programs that have significant impact in their community, in addition to the more common rescue programs such as foster and adoption. Finally, an animal welfare group that operates like a business for the sake of long term sustainability!

Adopting a disabled cat 10 years ago plunged me into the world of rescue and there was no turning back. Heaven on Earth was a perfect fit for what I hoped to contribute -- it is mission-driven, volunteer-fueled and thoughtfully managed, and its focus on cats with lower potential for adoption resonated with me deeply. It still does. Heaven on Earth is meeting needs not otherwise met...lovingly caring for cats who had no place else to go.

Heaven on Earth is a fantastic organization that provides a loving, stable home for animals that might be overlooked for care by any other shelter or even many rescue organizations. Everyone involved -- from the caretakers, to the board, to all the many wonderful volunteers -- give it their all to better the lives of these sometimes sick, elderly, scared, or plump, but always perfectly wonderful animals.

I came across the organization Heaven On Earth from a friend that already volunteered there and still does. I just expected it to be another volunteer place, but as soon as I got their I knew the enviroment was a great place to actually have fun while volunteering. I have been volunteering since early february and with the help from this organization I was able to get my first job. They produce results like this often, even help you with the application and job process. Meet great people that are doing what they love.

I adopted two beautiful cats from Heaven on Earth. Thom, a sleek, dove grey polydactyl and Blizzard, an older, FIV+ behemoth who looks like a baby seal and acts like a giant marshmallow. Both came to me healthy, happy, socialized and ready to settle in to their forever homes.

HESA treats each cat in their care as an individual – with discrete personalities, needs and preferences. All are showered with love and attention, however they choose to accept it. The sanctuary is clean, well-tended and home-like. After all, it will be the long term home to many of the cats who are considered unadoptable. These are the ones HESA takes in that no one else will.

I know in my heart (actually, I know in my head) that my two beautiful boys would be long dead if it weren’t for the caring people at Heaven on Earth. I’m grateful they were there to save two such precious lives, and so many, many more.
