The reasons you should adopt a sanctuary cat.
They come with built-in purr therapy.
There's nothing quite like a warm cat on your lap after a long day. Shelter cats are endlessly affectionate — they know what love means.
They're already litter-trained and lovably lazy.
Most shelter cats are adults who already know the basics. Less training, more cuddling.
They're some of the happiest, most grateful cats you'll ever meet.
Cats who've been given a second chance seem to know it. Their gratitude is unmistakable.
They bring out the best in people — and make great office companions.
Studies show that cat owners have lower stress levels. They're the ultimate coworker.
They often come socialized from years of shelter love.
Our cats have been cared for by staff and volunteers daily. They're used to human attention and affection.
The need is real — they are the ones being left behind.
Millions of cats enter shelters every year. Adopting one means saving a life and making room for another.
“We adopted our Golden Retriever through Retrievers & Friends and it was the best decision we ever made. Their team was thorough, caring, and truly dedicated to finding the perfect match.”
You make this all purrfect.
Many of our rescue dogs need temporary homes while they await adoption. Your foster home provides a safe, loving environment for a dog in transition. As an all-volunteer organization, foster families are the backbone of our rescue operations — every foster saves a life.
