Kitten Rescue is an amazing organization who always strives to say yes - taking on medical cases, neonatal bottle babies who need 24/7 care, and never gives up. They even rescue some senior dogs, including one with diabetes. They take the utmost care to ensure the best possible adoption match and are committed to their cats for their entire life, no matter what. With a small staff and 90% volunteers, this organization is full of amazing people who genuinely care for all animals. I am honored to be a part of the amazing work Kitten Rescue does and look forward to many more years helping make the world a better place.

I discovered Kitten Rescue in 2011 when I was looking to foster so my kitty would have friends. What I found was an amazing, dedicated organization that doesn't give up just because it's hard or will cost a lot. I've made lasting friendships and found a purpose in my life. The entire focus is the cats and there are so many people who work every minute of every day to save more lives. I'm constantly inspired by this amazing group who always say - how can we do better, how can we help more, what can we do for the cats? The support network for fosters and volunteers grows stronger with every passing year, and it's a group run by dedicated, compassionate individuals who truly care.
I have adopted 2 cats from Kitten Rescue now, and their dedication to every cat they place is inspiring. It's not just about finding homes, it's about finding the right home that will last a lifetime. They measure success not in statistics, but in life and every life is worthwhile and precious. Not only do they take in medical cases, but they provide lifetime care for cats many others would just euthanize because they weren't adoptable or would require extra care, or had special needs. Kitten Rescue is constantly innovating to find the most effective ways to save lives while maintaining high standards for care and placement. Their commitment to a cat is for life, forever.
Almost six years ago, I adopted my cat Beanstalk through Kitten Rescue and every day I can't help but appreciate them for pairing me with my feline soulmate. As a first time cat owner, they were so incredibly helpful with tips and information to make sure I could continue to give Beanstalk the best life possible. Kitten Rescue doesn't just foster these cats, they nurture them and really help the cats find their personalities. Beanstalk was her original name given to her by her Kitten Rescue foster mother and I chose to keep it because it fit her so well. My cat would not be the most loving, compassionate pet without the care of Kitten Rescue. My love for Beanstalk inspired my brother to also adopt another Kitten Rescue cat (his cat's name is January and he is the silliest cat I've ever known). Not only does Kitten Rescue save the lives of cats, they save the lives of those who adopt them. Without Beanstalk I would not be where I am today and for that I am forever in debt to Kitten Rescue.
In the past, I worked with 2 other rescue groups. They were effective and competent. But Kitten Rescue is even more so, extremely well organized, very large, saving hundreds of animals, and always putting the cats ahead of any other concerns.

I joined Kitten Rescue about 1 -1/2 years ago, after decades of experience saving cats on my own (much more difficult) and about 8 years working with another couple of rescue groups. KR is fantastic and totally professional in every way, well organized and knowledgeable. I have been able to foster 33 cats and kittens, plus 1 dog, for the group. Almost all of them have been adopted, both from their website and from their adoption events.
I really appreciate how, whenever I find an animal on the street, KR is immediately willing to take it on, even when there's a big vet or surgery bill. In our neighborhood there are many, many strays and so I've taken advantage of that policy a number of times. And when a pair of adult male cats was returned after having been adopted 2 years before, before I joined KR, they took them too (they found a good home together). It's all about the cats with Kitten Rescue! The first photo is of the current foster kittens, the second is of the first fosters for KR.
Kitten rescue have me two of my cats, who I treasure dearly. They are so vigilant and kind, I could never replace the wonderful care they gave to my kittens. They do so much for cats everywhere and are such a wonderful resource. They need funding to keep SAVING LIVES!
I have known Kitten Rescue for a number of years now. I've received expert advice about ferals in my community. I utilized their
connections and have adopted out a handful of my own rescue cats through their
community foster program. I believe they are a top notch organization.
I have been volunteering with Kitten Rescue for several years and have seen so many cats (young and old) find their purrfect forever homes. I can't imagine what would be like for these cats without Kitten Rescue!

Kitten Rescue helped me save 5 kittens with their mom when I was new to LA and city life and had no idea what to do! Despite a very busy schedule I've been volunteering for a year and a half and it's just been incredibly rewarding to see the cats /kittens I helped care for find their furrever homes!
My first contact with Kitten Rescue was almost 10 years ago when I had to put down my sweet cat Monkey. I did not want my other cat to get lonely. I found Kitten Rescue and they had a black kitty who was being fostered by Sandra named Jet. I feel instantly in love with him. The process was very easy and showed their passion and wanting the best for their cats. Shortly thereafter, I decided to become a volunteer and have the utmost respect and admiration for all those in the trenches helping to save cats and kittens. Their passion, empathy, love and care for all the cats they rescue is unsurpassed. I have seen firsthand their dedication to the cats' well being. They are hands down one of the top rescues in the area if not the country. Even more impressive, is their tireless efforts to raise money for the care of the cats and kittens.
I first learned about Kitten Rescue when my best friend adopted from KR more than 10 years ago. What stuck in my mind from all those years back, was how personal and caring each Kitten Rescue member was whom she encountered when she adopted two kittens, somewhat unexpectedly, just days after the family cat of 18 years passed away. I remember her telling me how loving and understanding Sandra was when she met her at the adoption site, how bonded to the kittens their foster, Mary, was and her conversation with the KR President, Ben, the next time she visited the adoption place. Everyone wanted to insure that both the home and the cats were the right fit for one another, and they got it right. All these years later, those cats are beautiful, happy and beloved members of her family.
As chance would have it, many years later I ended up living in LA. I was ready for kittens and my friend reminded me, "Kitten Rescue", yes, off I went to a KR adoption, where i met Esther, who promised me, yes, they could find me a black kitten or two! They identified a pair of young adorable black cats. Their foster mom became a friend and ally. When I learned what her role as a foster for Kitten Rescue entailed, and how many cats she had gotten adopted, I was inspired. I eventually became a foster, a role that I am still learning with the amazing support of this organization. I became a volunteer at the Kitten Rescue nursery, where I assist in bottle feeding the small kittens as well as caring for the resident cerebellar hypoplasia cats. I take cats from the nursery or sanctuary, to their medical visits and back.
The more I learn about Kitten Rescue, the more I love being a part of it. Kitten Rescue is a grass roots organization comprised of highly intelligent, skilled and motivated people who love animals and are willing to fight to care for them and to save their lives on a daily basis. I have no hesitation asking for the support of my friends and family to this cause, because I know where the donations go and I know how carefully they are used to save the lives of the kittens of Los Angeles. I love their attitude of doing more and doing it better, all the time, and never giving up. I appreciate the professionalism and enthusiasm of everyone I encounter every day I am there.
I am attaching two pictures from recent days at the nursery; The kitty on the left arrived recently and is one of our bottle babies; the kitty on the right is all grown up and at the "ready for foster" stage.
I love Kitten rescue. The best kitties in the world I have gotten from them. Years ago I was heartbroken over the loss of my cat Paddles. I contacted a woman named Sandra Harrison who had me fill out some paperwork and come to Granada Hills to look at a cat they had posted online. That cat didn’t work out but she brought out these two babies that she had been fostering saying she wanted them to go to a home together. It was love at first sight. These two kitties were truly angels. When a friend moved in with me who was terminally ill these two cats took turns sitting on him, loving him and nursing him back to health. They were the sweetest most loving cats I have ever known. Their names were Flame
And Torch. They have since passed on but recently I adopted another baby who is a miracle kitty from Jennifer, another wonderful foster mother at Kitten Rescue. His name is Nelson and he was less than an ounce with no mother when they found him. They bottle-fed him and nursed him to health and once again I am in love. I highly recommend this wonderful organization. They have changed my life by bringing angels into it .
A friend found 5 newborn kittens abandoned in a box and gave them to me to care for as I've bottle fed kittens before. They were soon put into Kitten Rescue's Community Foster program.
When the fragile kittens got terrible coccidia that was threatening their lives at 10pm one night, I was able to contact Kitten Rescue through email/text to get the immediate care that they needed! One kitten unfortunately passed away on the drive to get help that night, but the four survivors got fluids and medications that saved their lives! They are now all almost ready to be adopted and are very thankful to be with Kitten Rescue :)
While I have never adopted from Kitten Rescue, I have been a faithful viewer for some time now. I came across their live stream via explore.org and even though I live on the east coast I was hooked. As a result I have watched many, many litters come through the Visitor Room and be adopted. I've watched many neonates come through the Nursery. I have become a sponsor to some of the Sanctuary kitties as well. The dedication that Kitten Rescue shows all that cross their path is above reproach. They care well beyond when the cats/kittens leave their care, including welcoming them back when life's circumstances change and the caregivers can no longer care for their charges. They have taken on the enormous task of caring for 3 CH sisters who are adorable! These girls get everything they can possibly need and as such their lives and their abilities are beyond what I imagined they could be. The joy that Kitten Rescue spreads is felt worldwide. If I am ever in the LA area, Kitten Rescue is the first place I'd go visit.
I first heard of Kitten Rescue from a co-worker who also volunteered there. Years later, my son needed volunteer hours for an animal organization as part of earning veterinary assistant certification. I remembered Kitten Rescue and he did his hours there. When he was volunteering I thought it looked like fun, and a year later I am still volunteering with no plans to stop. The organization is well run and I volunteer with a great crew of positive, caring people. We are a no-kill shelter and very involved in the greater community. The cats and kittens are well-cared for and loved no matter what their condition. After years of volunteering with kids' organizations - scouts, sports, classrooms - this has been an easy and gratifying to e put my volunteer hours.
Abby was rescued from behind my apartment building and with the help of Kitten Rescue I was able to get her a visit to the vet and fixed. The representative from Kitten Rescue was so helpful and I had a great experience adopting through them.
Kitten Rescue is awesome! They save so many cats(about 1000 a year), more than any other rescue I have come across. I got my cat Betsy from them. I was impressed by how thorough they are in the screening process, and how much they care about the cats. And they brought her to my house when I adopted her. My aunt found some feral kittens that needed to be nursed, and a Kitten Rescue lady nursed them for free until they were old enough to live with my aunt. I have come across other rescues that seem like they have problems managing their finances, but Kitten Rescue seems to really have it together. They also do a lot of fund raising which I think is good. They are very organized, and professional. And, because of this they are very successful at what they do.
I discovered Kitten Rescue in March 2014 when I was searching for live animal streams to watch. I live in the UK but I very quickly switched to the L.A. time zone because I was hooked!
Watching kittens and their mums is hugely enjoyable but seeing the tlc given by the desicated staff and volunteers was so heartwarming.
And when I found out they also care for many, many older cats in their Sanctuary building I started to sponser a lovely tomcat who goes by the name of Gobbles.
A lot of the cars here have incurable health problems so sponsering and donations go a huge way in helping KR save and care for even more cats.
This year KR launched the Nursery and it is manned 24/7 as baby kittens are bottle fed every few hours. Many are rescued from the City Shelters where their future is bleak due to the overwhelming numbers of cats taken there.
Some baby kittwns are alone, some have their mum with them.
The Nursery also cares for three sisters who have Cerebellar Hypoplasia (which is a condition roughly equivalent to cerebral palsy)
We have watched them get stronger and stronger because they had important physical therapy. What ever the cats need at KR, they get no matter the costs.
Kitten Rescue have an equally dedicated team of fosters who play such an important role.
I have been so impressed with KR.
Their interaction program with humans is great and we see many people who give up some time to play with the kittens or sit quietly if the kittens are asleep.
Ive seen over 100 cats arrive and then be successfully adopted and I have to say, I have not seen a single kitty with a grumpy purrsonality.
I send donations and gifts to KR because every bit helps towards the upkeep of this richly rewarding organisation.
If I lived in L.A. I would certainly want to spend time there myself volunteering.
They have saved hundreds of cats and with our help we can be a part of the KR experience knowing hundreds more cats will be saved in the future.
I have been a volunteer and foster for Kitten Rescue since 2014. Prior to volunteering for them, I had worked with many animal rescues over the years. None of those other groups were nearly as organized or dedicated as Kitten Rescue is. Their network of dedicated volunteers is vast, and even though there are only a handful of paid employees, this group knows how to get things done and done well! Whether it is transporting kittens from the shelter to the sanctuary, bottle feeding unweaned babies, stuffing gift bags for the annual fundraiser, cheering on Kitten Rescue runners at the LA Marathon, collecting cat beds for the sanctuary, raising money for expensive surgeries on sick or injured cats and kittens that most groups would have euthanized, Kitten Rescue is there. I adopted two of my own cats from them, and have fostered 15 plus kittens, run the half marathon, walked a couple of 5k's, volunteered their Furball at the Skirball and other great events, and found the comraderie and general goal of all involved to save feline lives to be truly inspiring.
I started out as a volunteer with the adult cats and then learned how to take care of the tiny kittens that come into the nursery, and then I adopted my girl from the Kitten Rescue! This place does great work to help save feline lives.
I have worked closely with Kitten Rescue as a volunteer in different capacities and donor for the last 6 years. KR's clarity of mission, policies, and smart management of funds makes the sometimes overwhelming task of rescue in Los Angeles seem possible. We have a terrific community that makes the job a joy. We care deeply for our cats and kittens. And, our Sanctuary and Nursery gracefully bridge the gaps that other rescue organizations scramble to fill.

My husband and I have been volunteering with Kitten Rescue since 2011. We love working with the cats and love, love, love the community. So far we have fostered and placed 15 cats and kittens. One of the pleasures of being a volunteer is knowing that the cats we foster and work with are always cared for. Kitten Rescue is conservative with its limited funds but at the same time, when there is a cat or kitten in our care that needs medical help, no expense is spared. If a cat that came from Kitten Rescue is ever returned, it will always have a home with Kitten Rescue at our Sanctuary if it can't be placed again or while it is looking for a new home.
We have spent nights up nursing sick kittens and dedicated weekends to drive to the far ends of Los Angeles to place cats. It's great to work with a group of people who are just as dedicated to the cause of rescuing cats as I am!
I previously volunteered with Kitten Rescue for a year or two, and I also adopted my kitty from them. You will not find a better group of people more dedicated to providing excellent care to homeless kitties! Not only do they rescue adult cats from shelters, but they also rescue kittens who might otherwise be euthanized due to their age. They have expended an inordinate amount of time, resources, and love improving their shelter, and they include sick and injured kitties even when other places might turn them away. They constantly make efforts to get the cats into forever homes, but if some older or sicker cats can't get adopted, they live out their lives comfortably and surrounded by kind and caring humans and cat friends.
My kitty is one of the sweetest and most affectionate cats I've ever met and I love her to pieces!! I will always champion Kitten Rescue as a fantastic organization run by volunteers who truly care deeply about animals.
Great organization, their dedication to animals is incredible. Sarah, the foster mother we adopted from, is so dedicated to the cats she is hosting and caring for. They make sure to find a great home for them, visit your place and let you meet the cats for adoption several times, so there is never a bad surprise. They are very careful about the adoption process and estimate perfectly if a match is good or not. The cat we adopted through them is a wonder cat. She is so affectionate and I know it is because she is was saved and cared for by Sarah (and her kittens too). Her trust in humans comes from the affection and care she received at Kitten Rescue L.A.. Thank you!
I began my journey with Kitten Rescue back in 2011 when my own kitty was in need of vet care. I stopped in to na field at canoga park Petsmart and one of the lovely volunteers was doing adoptions. Since I had started rescuing my community cats, she told me to become a foster to get them adopted. The next 5 years have been some of the most rewarding. I've met amazing caring humans and have adopted out so many kitties. Thanks Kitten Rescue for being a solid example of compassion. ✌
The Southern California Veterinary Hospital has worked with Kitten Rescue for over 16 years. They are a wonderful, well organized rescue and would highly recommend them!
KITTEN RESCUE IS THE BEST! I HAVE ADOPTED SEVERAL CATS AND A DOG FROM THEM OVER THE PAST ELEVEN YEARS. ALL THE MONEY DONATED TO THEM GOES TO THE ANIMALS. I LOVE THEM! PLEASE SUPPORT THEM.
They are very enthusiastic in bringing people in to be part of the team. Kitten rescue is made up of los angeles locals and they all work hard to make every cent count. They love cats and i truly believe they do it for the love of animals. They have great inexpensive merch too!
I began watching the Kitten Cam on Explore.org in 2015 and was incredibly impressed with Kitten Rescue from the beginning. Not only are they an extremely dedicated and loving shelter, they provide entertainment and education for people around their world by generously allowing Explore.org to broadcast their furry residents and their staff. I wish I could adopt from them because they seem to produce the most lovely and well-socialised cats of any shelter I've seen, but alas they are across the country from me. They not only provide an amazing community for cats that everyone else has given up on but an amazing community for humans that love cats to share their triumphs and sorrows of life with their furry friends and exchange information to make their cats lives better.
I discovered the Kitten Rescue organization in May 2016, and was immediately taken by the care and commitment that is given to each and every cat in their facility! I have years of experience with cats (including TNR) and can attest to the fact that every cat I have seen on KR has gotten the best of medical care, regardless of cost, regardless of age, regardless of the prognosis, as long as there was a chance of recovery, and no undue suffering. I am also so very impressed with the work they are doing with the very young kittens in the new kitten room.
All of this care and compassion is labor intensive, and KR has the most committed and loving volunteer network!
I believe that Kitten Rescue is exemplary, and should serve as a model of what a feline rescue organization should be! I only wish that there were more such facilities...
Attached is a photo of Mimi, one of the caregivers at KR who is incredibly knowledgeable and caring with all!
I began watching the KR cam in the late fall of 2013. I adopted 2 kitties from a wonderful foster in dec 2013..she later became the foster coordinator, so I learned a lot about KR right away. In Jan of 2015, I adopted my 3rd kitty, who was a 'resident" in KR's Romper Room. I began weekly visits to KR in the early spring of 2014..and have continued doing so to this day. I also keep the cam viewers updated with pictures and videos. When the nursery opened in April of 2016, I began to visit in there as well. Having been associated with KR for this long a period, I have gotten to know almost all the folks who work there, whether as managers , caretakers or volunteers. I can say, without hesitation, that KR is the best rescue organization EVER. The love, care and concern for all kitties, from the newest of newborns, to the senior kitties in the sanctuary is truly amazing. I am honored to be a volunteer there..I will continue to do so, and to support them in every way I can.
I discovered Kitten Rescue thru Explore.org. I have been watching the kitten cam since the fall of 2013. I have watched so many kitties go to their forever homes. I have witnessed the outstanding care they provide the kitties and the all the measures taken to save kitties in distress. I was lucky enough to visit in 2014. I was very impressed with the sanctuary and the wonderful care they provide for the sanctuary cats. It is my pleasure to sponsor JP. Kitten Rescue is an outstanding organization.
I found the explore.org site about 18 months ago and have been a daily observer of the Kitten Rescue cam every day since. I am in awe of the dedicated staff and volunteers who tenderly love each kitten or adult cat they come in contact with. If a kitten becomes ill they make sure it gets the necessary outside veterinary medical it needs to survive and thrive. This veterinary care must be very expensive but no mention is ever made of that. Some times the little one can't be saved and the regular commenters grieve each passing. The kittens bring all of us so much pleasure watching them play and grow large enough to be adopted. Although I don't live in CA it is a cat rescue charity I contribute to.
I can't say enough good things about Kitten Rescue! I started watching around the spring of 2015 and have been amazed at all the lives they have changed. I've made some life long friends from this cam and was lucky enough to visit KR in purrson just last month! It was surreal to be in the Romper Room but my heart was in the Sanctuary spending time with all the beautiful souls. I was able to visit twice during my stay and can't wait to come back! The countless hours that all the volunteers, as well as the staff put in shows in the care and we'll being of all the residents. I live up in Victoria, British Columbia but happily have a Kitten Rescue bumper sticker and love answering questions when asked! I'm proud that Kitten Rescue was my first live cam experience and look forward to watching for years to come! Good job everybody! Keep up the amazing work you do!
With utmost respect,

I first found Kitten Rescue on Explore.org, and clicked on their kitten camera. I was immediately smitten with kitties that I was viewing, so much so, that a month or so later, I adopted a mamma cat and her son who I had been watching on the camera since discovery. Not only did I fall in love with those cats and drive to another county to have them join my family, I enjoyed watching the caretakers and volunteers on camera interact with them. I appreciated that I had to complete an in depth questionnaire to remind myself of the commitment and having undergone a completely painless home inspection, I am the happy servant to two fantastic black cats. It didn't stop there for me, upon my visit, I learned about their sanctuary for homeless cats and cats needing medical care that their owners were unable to provide. I began making the trek a couple times a month, quickly that became weekly, to spend time like the other volunteers and caretakers in the sanctuary with these adult cats. I fell in love with them all and proudly assist in administration of sanctuary sponsorships and fundraising for the sanctuary cats. I do get to sneak in some time in the kitten room still and help socialize the little ones coming through. A year later I am in awe of the foster network of Kitten Rescue, the 24/7 nursery they have opened to save the very youngest out there who are homeless and more often than not motherless and their tireless commitment to those in their care and those in need. Living in Orange County, it can be a trek each week, but the people are so committed and the cats so deserving, I am proud adopter and volunteer for Kitten Rescue.
There are really no words to express the great work that KR staff, volunteers, fosters and those who come to socialize with these kittens and cats. I have been a cam watcher since April 2015 and through many Romper Room families and cannot say how much joy it has given me to watch kittens grow up and there is nothing that can bring a smile to one's face than kittens doing what they do best. There have been moments of sadness when one is lost but one thing for certain, KR goes the extra mile to provide the best medical care possible to the very end. What a wonderful organization and I am very happy to support them from afar through donations, sponsorship and moral support.
I first learned about Kitten Rescue through the live Explore camera. A new mama cat and her five tiny kittens were saved by the Kitten Rescue organization and introduced to Explore viewers. Hundreds of us got the pleasure of watching the kittens grow and get homes of their own. Almost from the first day, I got hooked watching the wonderful work of Kitten Rescue. Since I live in New Jersey, way across the country from Kitten Rescue, I cannot volunteer in person. So I do what I can. I contribute money to fundraisers, I send items for the kittens and Sanctuary cats, and I sponsor senior cats who live in the Sanctuary.
As I live in Florida I cannot volunteer. But I have been watching Kitten Rescue for quite awhile and I'm amazed at the wonderful work they do. They make it possible for cats and kittens to be rescued and given the care they so deserve. The caregivers and volunteers are selfless, bottle feeding baby kittens 24 hours 7 days a week. They have a cat sanctuary with a marvelous program to sponsor a cat or cats. I've seen them rescue mom cats with kittens and care for them until ready for foster care or adoption. They do it all
I have both adopted from and volunteered for Kitten Rescue, and truly believe they are one of the best cat rescue groups I've ever come across. I've seen firsthand the thorough medical attention given to each and every animal, as well as the dedication, compassion, and unwavering devotion of the volunteers and staff toward rescuing homeless animals, rehabilitating them, and finding them the best homes possible.
I love Kitten Rescue and what they do! It warms my heart to see such a large group of loving people tirelessly working to end the suffering of animals in our community and shelters. They stop at nothing to care for kittens and adult cats that would doubtlessly lose their lives in shelters due to over crowding and lack of medical care and tlc. Their cats and kittens are cared for and loved until they find their forever homes, and beyond. Thank you for all you do Kitten Rescue! I am honored to play a small part in it.
Two of my cats came to me from Kitten Rescue. They do great work, and their volunteers are fantastic.
I've been volunteering with Kitten Rescue for about a year now, and I am so proud to be part of an organization that gives so much love and care to its kitties. It is a wonderful, no-kill organization that encourages fostering and finding forever homes for cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. There are so many kitties that are looking for nothing but love and great home, and Kitten Rescue does everything it can to make sure all of their cats find both!
I was not looking for a cat when I happened upon Kitten Rescue at a fundraiser. But this handsome orange Tabby named Hamlin caught my eye. Kitten Rescue was a dream to work with and I have kept in touch with them ever since the adoption to let them know how he is doing. I will definitely recommend them to my friends!!!
Kitten Rescue is an amazing organization with dedicated and passionate volunteers who truly put animals first. I have adopted two kitties from them whom I love. The care and thoughtfulness that each and every person involved put in to make sure the cats get the best care possible and go to their forever homes. After adopting my first cat from them I become a volunteer and a foster, although my first foster attempt was a failure because the kitty is now mine, I adore them. It's amazing the work they do on a shoe string budget.
I LOVE Kitten Rescue! I was looking for a place to volunteer my time and I knew I would want to spend it with kittens/cats. Kitten Rescue has so many rescues that they take care of and welcome. Some have disabilities, some are blind, some are feral, some need medical care, etc. Some just needed a home. It does not matter what ails them, they are welcome.
They recently opened their nursery earlier in the year to help save more kittens that would not survived had they not had a place to come to and be nurtured. Kitten Rescue is an amazing charity. They truly are one of the Great Non Profits!!
I adopted from KR and then became a volunteer because of the incredible experience I'd had in adopting our first boy. This organization truly cares about the animals it serves, and the volunteers all work together to do whatever is necessary. I am so grateful to work with this great organization and all the people involved.

We lost our 17-year-old kitty, so I wanted to adopt another rescue in his honor. I came in contact with Jasmin, who introduced us to Bubba/Tucker, her foster bottle-fed baby. It was instant love for Tucker and Jasmin! Since then, I have met several of the other fosters, and they all are exceptional. I can't imagine ever adopting a kitty from another organization.
Got two of our kitties from them, including Sadie Sue the Blind Cat. Because of the love and attention she was given after she was rescued from the city "shelter," she is the most incredible addition to our family. Kitten Rescue is always there to help people who have adopted from them, and they always step up to help the community with any feline problems. The volunteers devote any free time to helping save lives and TNR in the community to reduce the number of ferals who suffer. Great organization!!

Last year I lost my beloved kitty. Afterwards, I contacted Kitten Rescue and asked if they had any "bottle babies. " I immediately heard back from two people, and Jasmin sent me pictures of several kittens they had. I fell in love with one of them, and Jasmin invited me to her house to see him. My husband and I fell in love with Bubba. But it was also hard not to fall in love with all the other "special" kitties they had at their house. Jasmin took such good care of all the animals in her care. Since then, Jasmin has continued to be there if we had any questions about the care of our little Bubba. Bubba is now an adult cat and the sweetest boy ever, and it's all because of the care he was given by Jasmin and Kitten Rescue. Since that time I have also gotten to know several of the other volunteers at Kitten Rescue, and they are all the same: caring, loving, devoted, and willing to do anything for animals. I can't imagine a better rescue organization.
I have been volunteering with Kitten Rescue since July 2011. I started as the Saturday morning enclosure caretaker at the Canoga Park Pet Smart. In September of 2014 I became a foster and have since then been able to find homes for 8 cats. I find Kitten rescue to be very supportive when the cats I have been fostering need medical attention. The cats always get the medical attention they need. I have seen Kitten Rescue not hesitate to take in a cat or kittens that were abandoned at Pet Smart or other locations. I am proud to be a part of such a great group of people.
I have been in rescue for over 30 years, I have worked at several no kill shelters and with many rescue groups and many, many rescuers. Kitten Rescue is the best. They are the largest, the most responsible and simply the best. The medical care their cats receive is the same I give my own cats. In April of 2016 they opened a 24/7 bottle baby nursery at their sanctuary, it is run by very competent and well-trained volunteers and those little bottle babies that find their way there are the luckiest little bottle babies in Los Angeles!
We adopted our second cat from Kitten Rescue two years ago. From day one he has been a healthy, social, playful and loving cat. This is due to the foster mom who helped ensure he was taken care of before he joined our family as well as to the dedication of Kitten Rescue to ensure that all of the animals they care for are kept healthy. Their staff, volunteers and fosters are amazing. Cynthia in particular goes above and beyond. I met her originally at an adoption event where we met our kitten, and last year, when an abandoned kitten found her way on our doorstep she helped with finding a permanent home for that sweet kitten. I would recommend that anyone looking for a loving animal companion should consider Kitten Rescue. Thank you Kitten Rescue for all that you do!
I HAVE ENDED UP ADOPTING SEVERAL CATS FROM KITTEN RESCUE. I LOVE THIS GROUP BECAUSE ALL THE MONEY RAISED GOES TO THE CATS---THE VOLUNTEERS WHO CARE FOR THE CATS ALL (AT LEAST THE ONES I'VE MET) SEEM TO REALLY CARE ABOUT THE KITTIES AND WANT THEM TO GO TO A GOOD HOME. I HAVE SEEN RESCUE GROUPS WHO JUST WANT TO ADOPT OUT THE CATS THEY HAVE TO ANYONE THAT WILL TAKE THEM. BUT KITTEN RESCUE REALLY WANTS TO FIND THE RIGHT CAT FOR THE RIGHT HOME. I LOVE KITTEN RESCUE. AND I LOVE MY FORMER KITTEN RESCUE CATS: POPCICLE, DREAMCICLE AND CREAMCICLE.
Kitten Rescue is an amazing cat rescue in Los Angeles. I was first introduced to Kitten Rescue when I was looking to adopt 2 cats. I found a cat online that I wanted to adopt through Petfinder. It was a Kitten Rescue kitty however it had been adopted. The volunteers emailed the Kitten Rescue network to find 2 kitties that matched what I was looking for and they found me the 2 most perfect kitties. A couple of years later I started fostering cats after Kitten Rescue helped me trap some tame cats in my neighborhood - and I have been volunteering ever since. Kitten Rescue has an amazing network of volunteers who support each other and are committed to helping cats and kittens find their forever home. They do an amazing job at rescue and I am thrilled to be a part of the group.
Kitten Rescue is an amazing organization, with such a dedicated group of volunteers. There is nothing our volunteers won't do to help an animal. Whether it's a dangerous rescue, a shelter pull or a shift at the enclosures, no task is too large or small. And there's no shortage of fun events to help raise funds and awareness for Kitten Rescue - from the Annual Fur Ball, to Cinco De Meow to dinners at Veggie Grill.
Kitten Rescue is the best cat/kitten rescue sanctuary around as far as I'm concerned. They love, take care of and get cats/kittens adopted..period!!!!! Some cats have been with them for years before finally getting adopted and they received amazing love and care their entire time they were there. I love this place!!!!
I was so happy to see what care Kitten Rescue takes to ensure that every cat in their care is taken care of properly. Staff is constantly cleaning, caring for and socializing with cats to make them feel right at home, and their volunteer organization is full of loving people who make sure the cats get to and from vet visits, adoption events, etc. They truly are passionate about what they do. Great organization!
I lost my amazing cat to kidney disease 12 years ago and wanted to adopt another one in his honor. I had a fairly unique set of criteria I was looking for, and Kitten Rescue was the only rescue in town that worked with me to help me find just exactly the perfect kitty. It's 12 years later and my amazing Moe the Cat is happy, healthy and as beloved as the cat he was adopted in memory of.
Thank you, Kitten Rescue!
I love Kitten Rescue!! Everyone works so hard to make sure the cats are looked after and treated well. Great kitties, great people, and great organization!!
Kitten Rescue is such a Wonderful organization that truly cares about animals in need. They work hard to ensure that not only are cats rescued from the streets and shelters, but that they are given medical attention, housing, and (most importantly) love. I am a relatively new volunteer but it is easy to see how much the people at Kitten Rescue love the cats they serve. Each cat is addressed by name and given specialized individual attention depending on their needs. Cats with more difficult situations have their journeys shared with all volunteers involved, documenting their recovery and really making volunteers feel like they are making a difference. Whenever a cat is adopted, there is an outpouring of love and support and even a bittersweet sadness...because each and every one of the cats is loved and people are sad to see them go, though happy that they will be at a forever home. Cat people care!
I have had a chance to bring a foster to the West Los Angeles, Stevenson Ranch, and Pasadena locations of Kitten Rescue. I was very happy for the cats and kittens because this organization is truly made by teams of kind, passionate, and hard working people. They are actively involved in finding homes for the rescues, working different events, promoting adoptions, and educating the general public. On a side note, it is touching to see how Kitten Rescue teams rejoice after every adoption and it is also was fun to read the descriptions of all the experiences with the unique personalities of all their furry rescued guests. I feel more hopeful in the future when I meet people like the people I have met at Kitten Rescue.
Ben and Michel are wonderful people. Kitten Rescue is a fantastic organization. I highly recommend them. They give great care to all the animals. They also have a free kitten care manual in their website. Check it out!

I have been volunteering with Kitten Rescue for almost a year now and love every minute of it! We have such a dedicated group of volunteers and fosters who make it possible for Kitten Rescue to save thousands of kitties over the years. We take part in weekly adoption events, care for enclosure kitties, have an amazing sanctuary and participate in area events to help animals. I started out taking on a weekly shift at one of our local PetSmart locations and have recently become much more involved. It's such a rewarding experience to work with the kitties and Kitten Rescue! Kitten Rescue is an amazing, non-profit rescue organization helping felines throughout the greater Los Angeles metro area.
I came to Kitten Rescue for selfish reasons. I was going through a difficult time in my life, and needed to heal myself by helping someone else. The fact that I could be of service just by showering these beautiful animals with love was about as perfect a volunteer opportunity as I could have hoped for. On my first day, I met a kitten named Adam who had just arrived. He'd been born with a malformation that led to him... well... constantly dribbling poop. He was in constant pain, and barely grew as he couldn't properly absorb food, but he was as playful and loving as any kitten I've ever met. We bonded instantly. Kitten Rescue tried everything - acupuncture, surgery, finally diapers. He didn't last long, but because of this amazing organization, his short life was filled with love and care and unconditional acceptance. Kitten Rescue does great work in fostering and adoption, but I love them most for giving 'unadoptable' cats like Adam a safe, happy place to live out their lives.
A little over eight years ago I adopted two kittens found under a friend's patio. A very nice woman fostered them until they were old enough to come live with me. These were my first pets in over 30 years. When I asked the woman how I could pay her back, she said she volunteered for Kitten Rescue and perhaps I could as well. I spent a day at their sanctuary and, really, it wasn't for me. But, thankfully, I found other ways to help and I could not be happier. Helping these incredibly dedicated people save lives by serving as a transporter is very satisfying. What I find funny is how appreciative they are of what I do for them which, in comparison to what they do, seems trivial. These people give with their whole hearts to an unbelievable degree. I worked with other volunteer organizations which require a week or ten days a year at a camp site, but these people spend one or more days every week, often much more, taking care of animals and trying to find them loving homes.

The woman who fostered my two cats while they were kittens wouldn't accept any money from me for doing so -- she was a friend of a friend at the time -- but said I could make it up by volunteering for Kitten Rescue as she did. Unfortunately I wasn't able to foster cats for them, but I have been able to transport kittens and cats between fosters and to adoption events from time to time. I have never met a more appreciative or dedicated group of people. They give so much I am embarrassed by how little I was doing so I am now a monthly contributor to their cause as well as helping out when I can. I also receive the emails within the group and the amount of support they give each other is very impressive. I only wish I could do more.
I am a volunteer for Kitten Rescue for 5 years now & it's an honor to belong to
a non profit organization that takes such a good care of their animals. Their
compassion for each and every animal that needs their help is endless.
Kitten Rescue is a terrific organization. When I was ready to adopts a cat (after a year and a half mourning my beloved, Gus, who passed away in 2012), I started looking on line for a rescue group. Kitten Rescue's site was polished, professional and easy to use. Their policies illustrate how conscientious they are about whom they'll adopt to; they clearly care deeply about their animals. I also found them extremely helpful and responsive. I visited a couple of their cats at an adoption event and then one of the volunteers actually arranged to bring a cat I was interested in to my house. He came over and spent a few hours introducing the kitty to my dog, to me and to my apartment and clearly assessed that mine was a good home. I needed a dog-friendly cat and boy did they deliver! By the end of the evening, Roger was here to stay--and he's a great cat that brings tons of laughs and happiness--plus a charming obsession with my dog!
I have had the honor of being a volunteer for Kitten Rescue for five years now. I must say that this is one of the most caring and compassionate rescues there is. Not only do they take care of each and every one of the adoptions, carefully screening every single potential adopter, but help in every aspect of an animals' life. I also have one of the rescues, who I completely love and adore like a child. The love and compassion of all of the members is completely wonderful and from the heart. I could go on and on about this group, but I am very honored to be a part of this caring organization.
Kitten Rescue is the BEST! I am an adopter, and a foster - and I always feel supported. KR knows their stuff, and is one of the most conscientious and knowledgable groups in Los Angeles
Even though I am extremely busy with school and work during the week, I always make time to volunteer here. The staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and very dedicated to the wellbeing of the cats. I am grateful that they are able to save cats who have been abused, abandoned, or euthanized at shelters. This is a great organization that provides refuge to many cats who would never have had the opportunity to be taken care of and adopted by loving people.
in 2011 I had to put to sleep one of my cats, Thunder. I was completely heart broken and felt so bad for his sister, Roxy that she would be alone. I started my search and, through Pet Finder, discovered Kitten Rescue Los Angeles. I saw a few kittens that interested me and I contacted the organization, made an appointment and went to see them the next day.
The network of foster providers is amazing. I went to a home that had a dedicated area for the adoptable cats (along with an outside area that was completely constructed for the kitties to be outside but not get out). As per the norm, the kitten I went there to see didn't work out but there was a cute little guy who caught my attention by showing off and plopping in my lap. These cats are so we socialized you would never know they were born wild. I adopted Jaspurr and he's amazing.
Fast forward to 2014 and having to put my girl kitty Roxy to sleep due to Kidney Disease. I found myself, yet again, turning to Kitten Rescue to find a companion for Jaspurr. I fell in LOVE with a little calico girl on their Kitten Cam and in May I brought her home. Again super socialized and Jaspurr and Melodie became (very) fast friends.
The sanctuary itself is wonderful. Open areas for the cats to roam free and the work they do to socialize and adopt out animals is bar none. I promote and get the word out about Kitten Rescue whenever I know people are looking for cats or kittens to adopt. The adoption process is great and assures that both the new "paw parents" and the "kitty kids" mesh.
I I am extremely impressed with Kitten Rescue! I saw a picture of a cat on facebook who looked really sad, so I clicked on the pic and eventually ended up adopting the cat. I wasn't sure if I was ready for another cat or if the recent alpha cat we rescued would allow it. We went to visit Cheetos at Petsmart and thought he was very sweet, but I still didn't feel ready. I let it go for a week or so and then heard from Cynthia (I'm glad she was proactive!), who was wondering if I had made a decision. The fact that I had been really sick, on top of not knowing how the other cat would react, made me hesitant to go for it. Then Cynthia said we could do a trial basis. That was all I needed. She brought Cheetos over and he's been here ever since! It wasn't an easy adjustment for our other cat, but now they are good friends. We are THRILLED to have Cheeetos, and he's very happy! I'm glad that we were able to adopt an older cat. Cheetos is three, so he's still playful and energetic, but he's not climbing the curtains or destroying my art studio! Cynthia is very knowledgeable about cats and she taught us how to introduce the two boys and answered all of our questions. Thank you Cynthia & Kitten Rescue!
Two and a half years ago I adopted two of the sweetiest, most wonderful boys. I was heart broken after the loss of my previous cat, but my home was empty and I was ready to fill it. Kitten Rescue did a great job helping me find the right pets for me at the right time. They did a in-home evaluation and they offered suggestions on how to help keep my new kids safe, happy and healthy.
I recently became a volunteer and am excited to try and give back what Kitten Rescue did for me.
I became a volunteer for Kitten Rescue in 2011 in a very random way. While in a local Starbucks café, I overheard a woman in front of me describe to the barista the box of abandoned kittens she had just received that morning. I had read an article that morning describing the fate of many cats and kittens who are brought to "shelters." I read that these animals are killed even though they are perfectly healthy and adoptable. I told the woman in front of me about the article, (little did I know to whom I was speaking), and she told me that she was a volunteer with Kitten Rescue in Los Angeles, and was very familiar with this terrible situation facing not only abandoned cats and kittens, but especially feral cats and kittens.
We spoke for a short time and I expressed my interest in working with feral cats and kittens because I felt that they particularly had no voice in the world of animal care. We exchanged numbers and I soon became the feeder of a local feral cat colony.
Since 2011, I not only feed my feral colony, but also provide socialization and isolation space for Kitten Rescue. When I receive cats or kittens into my home, I provide a safe, loving space for them to become tame and tend to any health issues they may have.
Once their isolation/socialization period is completed, they move on to their foster home, from which the volunteer takes them to our various venues for adoption to a forever home.
I have had some "tough cases" come into my home, and wondered whether I could successfully tame them. With the invaluable, expert support of the other Kitten Rescue volunteers, I was very fortunate to tame nearly every kitten I have taken in. To see a young cat transform from a frightened, wild animal to a purring, loving and playful companion, just sets my heart free and provides a feeling of profound accomplishment.
While being a Kitten Rescue volunteer can be challenging sometimes, it is the perfect kind of challenge that allows one to know that in this life, at this moment in time, you have saved a life. Being a Kitten Rescue volunteer has given me a joy I never knew I could experience and it has made all the difference in my life. Trish N.
I love and respect Kitten Rescue, one of the best organizations there is. I adopted twice thru Kitten Rescue, and their help was not only before and during the adoption, but extremely hands on AFTER the adoption and every time I needed help with the adoptee. They are amazing.
Kitten rescue is made up of devoted animal-lovers who will give everything to give LA cats (and dogs) homes. This is a wonderful organization that is much-needed in Los Angeles.
When I founded Kitten Rescue in 1997, it was just me and a couple of kittens saved from the LA Animal Shelter showing at a local pet store. How could I have guessed that we would grow to be hundreds of volunteers saving a thousand companion animals a year ( cats AND dogs) and finding them new forever homes? There's a new heart-wrenching story every day, like Amigo, who was left in a box at a shelter with his feet and face bound with duct tape, yet our volunteers never lose hope. We work tirelessly toward the day that we can call Los Angeles a no-kill city.
I have never met a more dedicated bunch of volunteers. Everyone works tirelessly to help save and improve the lives of animals (cats, dogs, the occasional bunny, bird, rodent). I feel lucky to be associated with this group.
Cynthia made the process of adopting our two new family members as smooth as I could have hoped. Kitten Rescue is great !!!! Hopefully we will use them again in the near future !!!!
I have seen the love and care that each cat and/or kitten is given until it is placed in its forever home. I know how hard the fosters work at placing the right animal with the right family. I know the hours spent each year driving kittens to and from the vet. I know the sacrifices made by going to adoptions every Saturday and Sunday, and then working Monday thru Friday.
You may ask how I know these things. I know because my daughter is a Kitten Rescue Foster.
God bless her and all the other fosters. Thank you each and every one of you!
Kitten Rescue is my favorite animal rescue because of several things. All donations go to care of animals; the tireless volunteers save animals the others might deem "not worth saving". They save the sick and injured that require extreme care taking and high vet bills as well as the "easier" ones. I have recently found two separate abandoned and starving kitties and the ONLY rescue group who offered me any assistance (and I called them all) was Kitten Rescue!
I've volunteered with Kitten Rescue for over 15 years. They have made a great impact on animal rescue and placement in Los Angeles. I'm proud to see it grow from a humble few cat loving people to hundreds of dedicated volunteers so motivated to educate, raise public awareness of homeless animals and making LA a no-kill city!
We adopted our Lilly from Kitten Rescue about 13 years ago! She's going strong today at almost 20 years old. It's great to see Kitten Rescue out there doing wonderful things for cats in the Los Angeles area. Keep up the excellent work!
I LOVE Kitten Rescue. A great group of dedicated, smart, and passionate volunteers make this organization truly special.
I have been a proud supporter of Kitten Rescue for several years and they do an incredible job for the cats of Los Angeles. As with every city, the cats are overpopulated and far too many wind up at the overcrowded shelters. Kitten Rescue takes many of these homeless cats, spay & neuters them and finds them their forever homes- and great ones at that! They also help the ferals with a Trap, Neuter, Return policy that stops the constant breeding of more homeless cats. The volunteers are dedicated & hard-working and share a profound love for each & every cat they rescue, along with those they can't.
My husband and I began fostering cats and kittens by accident. When we found that it was really difficult to find homes for the cats, we began to reach out to organizations for help. Kitten Rescue educated us on the process and have been really supportive of our efforts. It takes patience, dedication and commitment to find the right forever homes for these cats and kittens. If you want to adopt, Kitten Rescue makes sure your kitty is healthy, and a truly great match for you. Thanks to Kitten Rescue we've found homes, and also a remarkable community of caring people dedicated to these cats that deserve a warm and loving home.
I adopted my three cats through Kitten Rescue. They take their responsibility to find their animals good "forever" homes seriously, including conducting home visits and asking thorough questions. My cats were well fostered, socialized, healthy, microchipped, and had all their shots. One of them had been found in a parking lot as a little kitten, suffering a severe eye infection. Kitten Rescue paid for the eye surgery, and this cost was NOT passed on to me. Adopting is very affordable - they recently had an event where the cost was free for people who had already adopted, $20 for others (for black cats).
Kitten Rescue is run by a very dedicated team of volunteers, and the overwhelming majority of funds raised go to the vet bills (and microchipping, etc) for the animals.
The fosters are incredibly dedicated to rescuing animals - they are not paid, and not reimbursed for food or kitty litter.
After my positive experience with Kitten Rescue, I have run in the LA marathon the last two years to raise money for Kitten Rescue. I'm more than happy to run 26.2 miles to help this organization.
As an adopter of Kitten Rescue cats, and a previous Kitten Rescue Foster, I cannot sing enough praises for this group. What impressed me most? With hundreds of cats that need homes, we would rather keep a cat in our care than to adopt it to a home that we do not feel is suitable. People like Sandra Harrison, who is a foster and is on the Kitten Rescue Board of Directors, are an amazing example of the relentless, heartfelt efforts that this group is built on.
I was reading a post on Facebook about a badly abused cat which looked like my Big Boy that had just passed to cat heaven. I could not get his picture out of my head even when I went to sleep so I left a message that I would like to meet him and his name was Juanito. I say "was Juanito" because my husband changed his name to Little Boy. The sweetest lady, Sandra Harrison brought him to my home and it was instant love. It only took him 4-6 hours to come out of the room and join our family and other cats. When he looks at you with those big eyes, its like he's saying "Thank You". I am so glad that I adopted him from Kitten Rescue and also met a wonderful lady in the process. Sandra should receive a gold medal for her work and especially her love for cats.
We mourned the loss of our beloved cat, and found Kitten Rescue online. They responded quickly, and thoroughly checked out our qualifications as responsible pet owners, including a visit to our home. This may bug some people, we thought it was fabulous. We found Leo through their photos, and he has become a star cat, so well socialized thanks to the great Foster care, and a wonderful addition to our family. Thanks again! Cynthia, our connection is a star as well!
About 2 years ago I was looking for a cat to keep our elderly cat company, after having lost her sister a few weeks earlier. I stumbled on a Kitten Rescue event by accident at a local pet store, and was impressed with their helpfulness and kindness. They didn't have a cat right then that we felt connected to, but told me that another volunteer was coming shortly with a few more kitties. We came back, and ended up falling for a gentle, black little girl. The woman we dealt with was Sandra Harrison, who bent over backwards to make sure everything went smoothly with the adoption, and even afterward, to help clear up a small infection that the cat had. A few months later, after our older cat passed, we went straight to Kitten Rescue again, and Sandra, to help us find another. We scored right away, and couldn't be happier with their caring, kind attitude. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a rescue animal. They take excellent care of their fosters, and do their best to find great homes.
It must have been the late '90s when I became acquainted with Kitten Rescue. I would visit with the kitties and chat with the volunteer rescuers when I would get supplies for my cat at Centinela Feed & Pet. I liked the people that were involved with the group and their cats always looked well taken care of. When my kitty passed away at 16 yrs, I looked to Kitten Rescue to adopt 2 bonded older kitties. I adopted 2 wonderful 5 year old sisters, Minnie and Minxy, from an amazing woman, Sandra Harrison. Sandra is so devoted to her little ones and works tirelessly to find them loving homes. I can not say enough good things about Sandra and Kitten Rescue.
I stumbled upon Kitten Rescue when I walked into my local Petco hoping to adopt a cat in honor of my recently-passed cat of 20 years. I was still heartbroken and even more upset when I realized adoptions had ended for the day. But a very sweet volunteer stayed behind to listen to my story through my tears. Later that night she emailed me with several cats for me to consider. Within days I went to the foster home and met my beloved Romeo. He had been in foster care for 5 years with the KR volunteer who had rescued him and saved his life. I had assumed I could take him home that night, not realizing there was a process in place. These two volunteers, Belinda and Sandra, went out of their way to deliver Romeo to my home that very night. That was 5 years ago and I am grateful every day for this amazing feline. I am also incredibly grateful that Sandra continues to be a part of Romeo's life, offering her advice, support and love. It is obvious that Romeo still holds a very special place in her heart, as I'm sure so many other fortunate rescued cats do. Kitten Rescue is lucky to have such dedicated, caring volunteers.
I have SO much respect for every single human associated with Kitten Rescue.
I especially personally know of the extremely dedicated time two of KR's people devote to this organization, and the little lives they save on a near-daily basis. And both of these precious women are immensely knowledgeable. They both know who they are, because I have extreme fondness for each of them.
I had spent some time looking into animal rescues I could do some volunteer work for. I hadn't heard of kitten rescue before but loved reading all the wonderful reviews other people had given, and decided to sign up as a volunteer. Even the way the volunteer orientation was organized impressed me. As well as immediately feeling very welcome. The cats are clearly so loved and very well taken care of. And even after having just started my volunteer work myself, I look forward to the next time I get to go back to help out and receive some kitty purrs :)
I've been volunteering and fostering for a few years and can say Kitten Rescue is a top notch organization.
Long time volunteer and must say its a great organization and saves a lot of cats from the streets and shelters. Has a bunch of dedicated volunteers that always go the extra mile to help a cat(s) in need. The donations received go directly to cats volunteers dont see any of it and pay for a lot of things out of their own pockets. But with vet costs always rising donations are always needed and will be put to good use.
I owe much to Kitten Rescue. 13 years ago, I adopted a 6 month old longhaired calico from Kitten Rescue. I named her Friskie, and she has been a loving and loyal pet for me all these years. This past summer, I decided to adopt again. (I'd lost Friskie's 15 year old brother earlier in the year.) I met lots of cats form different rescue organizations but was having trouble finding the right fit for both myself and Friskie. Ultimately, it was Kitten Rescue to the rescue again! I searched "adoptable cats and kittens" on Kitten Rescue's website and fell in love with two 3.5 month old littermates, now named Boo and Ninja. The Kitten Rescue foster went above and beyond to make the adoption work for me and all kitties involved. They were delivered to me healthy and very well-adjusted. They are the sweetest, most adorable kittens on the planet. I highly recommend Kitten Rescue if you are looking to adopt a cat!
