Please help us with our special needs kitties at our home sanctuary in South Orange Coutny by volunteering 3 hours once or twice a week. We need help with cleaning litter boxes, laundry, brushing and grooming cats, medicating and more. Your shift would ideally be in the later mornings, but the day of week is flexible.
If you cannot help at this time of day, we also need local people to help feed feral cats at our affiliated, established feral colony in San Clemente. This takes only 20 minutes, once a week. Your volunteer shift is later afternoon or early evenings; day of week is flexible.
Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary has been rescuing cats in San Clemente and the vicinity for over 20 years. We take in cats that are not accepted or taken in by our local shelter. In addition we have stopped cat overpopulation 10-fold with our active mission of working with the local feral and stray cat population, when no one else would!
Please join our mission to stop cat overpopulation and take cats off the streets. Be part of our helping not only the cat but also our community!

About Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary

Mission Statement
1)Provide a safe, permanent haven for cats with incurable or terminal illness, old age and personality problems. These cats are not animals that would be adoptable or sustained in a normal shelter setting.
2) As we have done for many years, we serve our community by helping rescue local stray and feral felines. When working with feral cats, the cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and provided they are healthy, re-released into feral colonies. There they are fed daily until they live out their natural life. This system of trapping and spaying feral cats has led to a major decrease in the stray and feral cat population of San Clemente and adjacent areas.
3) We seek to assist and provide non-financial support for the San Clemente/Dana Point Animal Shelter (CASA) and Pet Project Foundation by fostering or permanently housing cats that once again, are not suitable or even living at the local shellter facility. For many years now, we have stopped endless "unadoptable" cats from being euthanized. For instance, until recently, CASA euthanized FIV+ positive cats if healthy. Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary has many FIV+ cats since it is not a life threatening nor easily transmitted disesase.
4) Many of the felines here have complicated and chronic illness that cannot be treated with conventional veterinary medicine. Even though we do rely on this form of medicine, in many cases, holistic medicine is needed to improve the health of or even cure the medical ailment. In these cases, we rely on founder and president Kim Rockshaw's training, degree and experience with homeopathy, herbs, nutrition and supplements to help these animals . . . with great success!
Description
A small licensed feline sanctuary run from the home of founder and president, Kim Rockshaw. Because of space and work limitations, and also due to the individualized quality of care each cat gets, we limit our number to under 35 cats.
Animals are housed on the premises in either the home, or outside in a very large enclosed yard. Here we house many of the cats that are used to being outdoors. We have large hutches and other cubby holes designed for shelter as well as access to the garage.
