Mission Statement

A non-profit sanctuary dedicated to the rescue, care & adoption of abandoned cats and kittens.

Description

RESQCATS is non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care and adoption of stray and abandoned cats and kittens. It was founded in 1997 by Jeffyne Telson. To date, ResQcats has placed 1,545 stray and abandoned cats and kittens in the last 12 years.

Every kitten and cat follows a complete medical protocol:

  • Full vet exam
  • Feline Leukemia and FIV test
  • Distemper vaccination
  • Worming medication
  • Spay or neuter surgery
  • Micro-chipping

We also provide medical care above and beyond the usual protocol when necessary to save a cat or kitten's life. Unadoptable kitties are NOT euthanized.

Every kitty leaves with a complete health record, sterility certificate, a bag of their current diet, samples of their canned food, a brand new toy and of course a big hug goodbye!

ResQcats is quite a unique facility. It consists of a large building divided into communal areas, isolation areas, special enclosures and large outdoor "playgrounds" for the resident cats. It serves as the temporary and permanent home of cats and kittens of all sizes and colors!

This place is truly magical and a wonderful place to spend time helping the kitties. Jeffyne, the founder, is really nice and so appreciative. If you have a couple of hours a week to spend volunteering, this is the best place. You have to see it to believe it!
