Review for Saving Hope Animal Rescue Fund, Fort Worth, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

There are a lot of rescues around, and even more dedicated and passionate volunteers who make up those rescues. I've been involved in the rescue world for about 4 years and a foster for Saving Hope for a little over a year. In that time, I've seen first-hand the care and willingness to save every life that is lucky enough to become a member of Saving Hope. No challenge is to small or big - they are all tackled with grace and determination.

The last 48 hours have shown me and our community just how far their dedication goes.
On Sunday Saving Hope was approached by an individual who had a friend's family member take their own life - leaving behind 30 cats and kittens. Needless to say, the family was devastated and at a loss as to what to do with the much loved and well cared for fur-babies that were left behind. The family friend had reached out to Saving Hope asking if we might take a few - so that not all would have to go to the shelter. ​Saving Hope didn't blink an eye - "We'll take all 30"!
The Cat Coordinator sent out the "CAT SIGNAL" and within a matter of hours we had a plan and fosters lined up for all of the cats. These loved babies had experienced their own trauma and our team treated the humans and the cats with dignity, compassion and support.
When all the babies were identified, and sent off to the fosters, our team assured the family that we weren't abandoning them - we would provide updates on when the kittens were adopted - pictures would be sent and updates from fosters (there was a pregnant mom and they wanted to learn about her babies), and that if they were in need of assistance for their remaining cats and dogs Saving Hope would be here to support however they needed us.

Yes, rescue is hard and despite the emotions of the situation I was so proud to be a part of this caring, loving, determined organization.
There are angels among us - and they are rescuers - and this group is absolutely amazing - if you've ever considers fostering - please join us - if you love animals but can't foster - please consider making a donation - Saving Hope didn't stop to think about how they would pacy for the vetting and care of 30 additional babies - They just DID IT
