Animal Rescue & Charity Directory
Thousands of homeless animals are euthanized each year, due to
overpopulation and a lack of space within state shelters. There are some
wonderful organizations where the volunteers devote their lives and love to
saving, and caring for homeless pets that would otherwise be euthanized.
Many operate on donations alone, and are in need of funding and supplies.
We are just starting to put a list together of some groups that are in need.
Helping is easy; most offer the ability to donate online .
If you would like to see a rescue group on our list, just send an e-mail to
info@kitten-smitten.com.
The Cat House on the Kings is California's largest no-cage, no-kill, lifetime cat
sanctuary and adoption center. Our mission is to place rescued cats and
kittens into loving, permanent homes; to provide a safe, happy and healthy
home for unwanted cats and kittens in a unique, no-cage facility; to prevent
pet overpopulation through spaying and neutering; and to educate the public
about responsible pet ownership.
Lynea Lattanzio, who founded and runs The Cat House on the Kings, talks
about how it came about and gives you a peek into our unique environment in
this video created by Jack Perez.
The Cat House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, receives no government
or public funding, and relies entirely on donations from the public to carry out
its mission.
Since its founding 19 years ago, The Cat House on the Kings has saved over
18,000 cats and 5,000 dogs (not counting the 40,000 animals we have spayed
and neutered!) and currently cares for more than 700 cats and kittens, a
dozen or so dogs and a handful of goats, who earn their keep as lawnmowers!

Kitty Harbor, founded and tirelessly run by long-time animal care worker
Delyn Kosbab, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all-volunteer organization
dedicated to the health and welfare of neglected animals in Washington
state. Kitty Harbor’s specific and ongoing mission is the rescue,
rehabilitation, and placement of homeless and neglected cats and kittens.
At Kitty Harbor, cats of all ages live together in a large, open, indoor-
outdoor area, not locked up in cages. In this free-roaming habitat, kitties
are free to run around, play with the numerous cat toys, chase each other
up and down a veritable forest of cat trees, get lots of attention from our
volunteers, and nap just about anywhere they like. As a result, the kitties
become well socialized, very friendly, and develop great personalities.
Since we are a non-profit organization, none of the small but dedicated
family of volunteers at Kitty Harbor are paid for the work we do here. We
exist solely through gracious donations of time, supplies, food, medicine,
veterinary services, foster homes, and the small fee we receive from the
adoption of each kitty.

Felicia & Felix were rescued by LOKR
Little Orphans Kitten Rescue, Inc. (LOKR – or “Looker”) is a nonprofit non-
sheltering rescue group established in July 2011. Our primary mission is to
provide care and find adoptive homes for orphaned newborn kittens. Kittens we
take in would normally be euthanized by shelters because of the constant
attention required to give them proper care. LOKR accepts kittens rescued from
feral cats, those found by caring people, or are too young for shelters and other
rescues to care for. When space in our foster care program permits, we will also
accept kittens that have been abandoned by owners at local veterinary clinics.
We give these kittens a chance at a long, happy life.
Bottle-babies need to be fed every few hours, bathed almost daily, and shown
plenty of affection so that they grow up well-adjusted and well-socialized. If you
adopt a kitten from Little Orphans Kitten Rescue, you can be sure you are
welcoming a happy, healthy, highly sociable kitten into your family!

Mandrake has a loving forever home thanks to CLAWS
CLAWS Cat Rescue & Adoption Shelter of Sussex, is a no-kill, 501(c)(3) non-
profit rescue group located in Augusta NJ. Founded in 2002, the purpose of
the organization is to rescue homeless, neglected and abused cats, providing
veterinarian services, food, shelter, and love until they find their forever home.
CLAWS cats will only be adopted under the condition that they will never be
de-clawed and must remain indoor-only pets.
All CLAWS cats are also tested for FIV, some of which occasionally test
positive. If that is the case, that information will ALWAYS be included in the
cat's description. Any cat with FIV will be listed as a special needs cat and
can only be adopted to homes without other cats or homes with only FIV
positive cats, offering them a chance for a happy life. Many shelters
routinely euthanize these cats deeming them less desirable.
CLAWS operates with the assistance of dedicated volunteers and by
donations alone. If you would like to help this organization continue their
work, there are several options available including sponsoring a cat, or
donating funds or supplies.
Forever Home Feline Ranch
Rochester, Illinois
Follow FHFR on Facebook & Twitter
Forever Home Feline Ranch is a nonprofit organization created to provide
every cat in need a forever home. FHFR is leading the effort to make
Central Illinois a no-kill community by ending euthanasia as a method of
controlling feline populations. Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed or
neutered, micro-chipped, tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia, flea & worm
treated, vaccinated against rabies, distemper and feline leukemia. Our
goal is to help place each cat in a loving home and to help find the perfect
companion pet to fit any lifestyle.
FHFR recently purchased property, thanks to gracious donations, which
will be converted into a sanctuary where their cats will have a second
chance to live a full life in a no-cage, no-kill environment. Though more
funds are needed to see this project through to fruition. Check out the
renovation progress.
In addition to donations, Forever Home Feline Ranch, relies solely on
volunteer organization. Without the efforts and love of the volunteers the
ranch wouldn’t be here today!
