I am a small private rescue at this time I am not 501c-3 but hope soon to be able to be. I started this out of my home after seeing just how many homeless cats needed help. I get them Vet care if needed have them spay/neutered get there shots house them feed them and find them a loving homes. Here in Phoenix there is no animal control pickup for cats only dogs. So we have a real problem on our hands and most shelters are so over booked they dont know what to do. I am a big lover of all animals but cats hold a deep place in my heart. At this point the fee for 501c-3 is out of my reach but as I grow that is in my plains.
