  • 106 people are interested
Isaac
One of our many healthy and happy cats, that originally would have been euthanized at our local, city shelter

Please help us with our special needs kitties at our home-basedsanctuary 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 or early afternoons but the day of week is flexible. We would also love to have someone to help us with our large outdoor area for the cats: Besides cleaning liter boxes and cages, we could also use someone who is willing to rake and sweep, as well as help organize food and other activities.

If you ar interested we can also train you how to do minor medical things on the cats. Examples would be gving fluids, medicating on the nicer/genler kitties. More will be explained.

Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary has been rescuing cats in San Clemente and the vicinity for over 30 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

Location:

P.O. Box 3921, San Clemente, CA 92674, US

Mission Statement

For over 25 years. Healing Hope Cat Sanctuary has served a few different areas of So. California, by helping with the cat overpopulation problem and the high shelter euthanasia problem. We first started helping mainly San Clemente/Dana Point cats, but we have now expanded to help in other areas of So. California. Over the years we have narrowed our work and focus to caring for and taking in UNADOPTABLE cats.. These are cats with chronic or difficult medical problems, elderly cats, felines with personality problems and even some truly feral cats that had no other place to go. We take in the cats that no one wants. or can keep or would be killed at the high-euthanasia shelters. We also help people who often need to place their cats due to the reasons/conditions mentioned here.

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 25 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.
