Mission: Quality of Life Rehab & Foster is a grass roots effort to increase the quality of life for all animals.

I was walking in the back of a shopping center parking lot when I walked up past a hollowed out tree stump, it was small, and out jumped the cat. Scared me to death so I looked in the hole and I see two babies like new babies and I’m like oh no what do I do, it was raining at the time also. so I remember seeing Quality Of Life on Facebook, so I made contact with them. They call me directly back and we talk. Aspen says she’ll be there in 1520 minutes and she was there in 1520 minutes so she looked at the situation and by then mama tried to move one of the kittens, so I stopped her and I had a kitten in my truck so we grabbed the other baby and put them in a kennel. There were only two, Aspen had a trap and she put the trap in front of the kennel. Put a towel over all of it and we waited. Only took about 30 minutes mama came to get her babies. I took the babies and mama to foster. When babies were old enough to be weaned, mama got fixed but she wasn’t happy to be a pet so I took her back where I found her released her, she was part of a colony. The babies went on to grow big enough to be fixed. QOL took care of that and I adopted the babies. I was very impressed how quick she got to me to help me. I’ve had many other situations I called on Aspen and she was there like right away I feel like part of her foster family and I love it. I can’t say enough about Quality Of Life. I love them.

I love the stories they tell us about the animals. It remind us of the power of love, compassion, and second chances. Each animal has a unique journey that leads them to their forever home, and the bond formed between their adoptive families is a testament to the impact that Quality of life Rehab has in our community. If you’re considering bringing a animal into your life, remember that you’re not just adopting a pet you’re embarking on a journey filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. Quality of Life Rehab & Foster, Inc. works with other rescues in our community and the humane society to save as many animals possible. We have a lot of “community cats” in Marion county. Quality of Life Rehab & Foster, Inc spend endless time trapping community cats, spays or neuters and vaccinates them, and returns the sterilized, now healthier, cat back to their natural outdoor home. As a community we need to help Quality Life Rehab & Foster. They are always in need of supplies (from cleaning , pet food, litter, blankets and the list goes on) They are always looking for people to foster animals and to transport animals to events or their new homes. Quality Life and Rehab is amazing! They go above and beyond to help those in need!

I met the director of Quality of Life over 20 years ago before it became QoL! She came to my house to pick up a baby flying squirrel I had found. My experiences with that organization over the years has grown tremendously with the animals she has helped me with. QoL is a selfless, hardworking, and caring, not-for-profit haven for any animal needing help. Any donations are put towards animal care. Love them.

I reached out to a few rescues in my area to see if anyone could trap a pregnant cat. My husband and I feed. We both have cancer and I don’t have the energy to trap, neuter, and return. The only one that come back to me was Aspen. Quality Of Life rehab and Foster. And she and her husband came out, set the trap, sat and watched it for a few hours, left and came back late at night and waited until the cat went in the trap. The kitty is back in our neighborhood and we feed her twice a day. We appreciate Aspen so much for the work she does and for helping us out.

They are the best non-profit I have ever worked with. I adopted my little angel Priscilla Frances(aka Prissy) from them. I applaud their screening process and all the care and concern they have for all the precious babies they deal with. They are awesome. She is the best little dog ever so happy and so friendly.

This is an amazing organization that makes a huge impact on the community’s homeless and injured animals. They are experts at TNR and work endlessly to spay and neuter animals in our community. In addition, they always step up to help those in need, whether it’s rescuing kittens born under a truck or a dog who has a horrible injury and needs immediate care. They are dedicated and committed and are just an incredible rescue. The make sure these animals find the very best place for them to live out their lives. I have worked with them and I am in awe with the work ethic of the volunteers.

Angel hugs to one of the most caring, sincere rescue! Every foster is a representative of Aspen. Every volunteer has a special place in the hearts of all who care for these creatures! Dogs are rewarded with loyalty. Kitties are given purfect opportunities to create purr symphonies. Aspens efforts in smiles and tears are the true joy of unconditional love given to all living beings. That said, I have had the personal joy of watching my BFF smile daily with the two special kitties adopted from. Quality of Life. May the Angels continue to bless and aide this wonderful heartfelt group.

This organization is amazing with helping me with kittens that end up in my care from feral moms. I've called/messaged all hours of the day and night and always receive a prompt reply and help. Without them the kitties would be lost!!!!!

This rescue has helped not only me but multiple people where I live. She has helped get our Community Cats fixed, saved some of there lives when there was an emergency, and has cried with us when they couldn't be saved. This is an amazing rescue and has done and will continue to do great things for animals of all kinds in this area and around.
