This group is so helpful! They found an animal that would fit my lifestyle and schedule. The ladies knew what they were doing and offered to help me with the process any way they could.

I found my dog from this foster group, and they were so patient in working with me! I come from a different town and they were more than happy to accommodate with my schedule and visitations. This group is awesome!

My family and I have volunteered with this organization during busy holidays as a way to keep active in our community. We firmly believe that this group does their best for the animals to find homes. We are so glad we're able to work with a great group of other volunteers and animal fosters. Thanks!

I walked upon TCL when I was passing by and immediately loved the animals! They were well cared for and loved the attention of anyone. They always had plenty of liter and water. Super cute!

I have given some of my extra bedding and blankets to TCL. They were accepting of my items and appreciated it. The group is fairly organized and keep their animals comfy whether it be outside or in.

I'm so glad we adopted from TCL! They helped us find our kitten with a compatible personality and gave us tips on toys, food, and general care of her. She is our first kitten and we wanted to make sure she is in the right hands. Thanks TCL!

I adopted one of my cats from TLC a few years ago, and adopted another one recently. Sasha is a healthy kitty and has grown quickly and fitfully. She is great around my kids and plays well with our dog. I appreciate TLC for its work in checking in with us and being fast with the adoption process.

This group is really flexible and welcoming to new volunteers. I'm glad I found them, they are appreciative towards their volunteers and consider me in any of their decisions when it comes down to scheduling. They always check up on the tasks are are involved in every part of the adoption processes.

Whenever I see TLC and the fosters, they are always welcoming and say hi. I offer whatever extra pet food and toys I have to be recycled, and they accept them with no problem! The fosters are super sweet and willing to use any recyclable materials.

I enjoy volunteering for this org! The ladies are wonderful and the animals are always well behaved. They offer anything I may need and provide supplies so I don't have to go out and buy them.

We adopted our little calico, Melons, from this organization and had a great time choosing her! She was playful with the other cats, well cared for, and is compatible with our animals at home. We knew she was in good hands, and is in even better now! Thank you!

I've been volunteering with this group for a few years. They have always taken good care of the animals and provided information relevant to the adopter. The fosters are always willing to find great homes for their animals and ensure follow-ups are frequent.

They work hard for their animals and work harder to get them all adopted. I found my little kitten there and hope others will too.

All the people who helped me adopt my two little fur balls were very informative and knew what they were doing. They told me about how they rescued my two kitties from the downtown area and the best way to transition them into my household.

We adopted our newest member of the family from TLC and were very pleased with the service and attention we got from the people there. They really care about the animals they serve and offered to help us with our transition with coupon books along with recent vaccines and shots right before we took him home. Thanks again!

I adopted my first pair of kittens from TLC when I was in the fourth grade now I am a freshman in college. The rescue is full of hard dedicating people who are always there to help the animals at the drop of a pin. They are always there to answer people’s questions and help them with any concerns. It has been a little under 10 years and I have adopted 4 cats from them over they years and my house is full of loving babies. I also volunteer and have been volunteering for about 5 years now...the rescue works around the clock to care and assist any animals they work long nights to help feed bottle babies and Medicate animals. The leisure cat animal rescue has shaped me into the person I am today and has helped me grow and expand as an individual.

Melissa is really great with kitties and getting them trapped/spayed/neutered/immunized --and BEST of all--adopted out to loving forever homes. WOW, has she ever helped us! (She does refer to me as her 'defunct foster' (because we want to keep them instead of giving them up) ! Please help support her in this effort to HELP our Austin kitties! It's not cheap to feed and house all these meow meows! Thank you, Melissa!!

TLC does such a great job! They not only rescue cats and kittens (dogs and puppies too) from the street, they are also involved in TNR of feral cats. Such an asset in my community. They do adoptions every weekend, rain or shine. They take in many animals that others may turn away. They also pull from some of the over crowded rural kill shelters. I love TLC!!!

The Leisure Cat goes above and beyond to help our community, shelters, and other rescues rescue cats and find them good homes. They take on medical cases, bottle babies, not so friendly, and some very friendly kittens and cats. I have had the opportunity to be part of their rescue and always feel they have animals best interest in mind. You can always count on the Leisure cat for advise and help when fostering. They go the extra mile all the way around! :) Candice M

I came across this amazing organization about a year ago outside of the Brodie Petsmart location. I appreciated everything this organization stood for and knew I had to get involved. I have now been volunteering almost every single day since. I get to interact with all the amazing animals that are rescued by The Leisure Cat. I also get to help find these animals their new forever homes. And just to know that I have influenced these animal's lives a bit makes my world whole. And the many happy people that I have helped find their new furr babies have influenced me. To be making a difference in the animal world is truly AMAZING!! And to be working with such inspiring people along the way who encourage such a positive outcome is exhilarating.
