Regal Felines Cat Rescue is a no kill, all volunteer organization which is dedicated to the rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming of displaced cats.
We are a private rescue.We are not a shelter. We take cats away from the stress and the danger of shelter life and bring them into our foster program. The cats are fostered in private homes where they are treated like members of our family and we offer assistance to owners who can no longer keep their pets. All of our cats are placed in loving, well educated foster homes.
We specialize in Persian, Himalayan, Siamese, Ragdoll, Tonkinese, Maine Coon, Bengal, British Shorthair & other rare breeds! Some of our cats are purebred, some are 'copycats'(mixes) and some are neither. They are all special and deserve to be in a loving and dedicated home! We strongly believe in educating pet owners and shelters about different breed's specific needs and carefully match displaced cats with the perfect new home.
The funding for Regal Felines is a result of generous donations, adoption fees and various fund-raising activities.

Zara's List Animal Rescue
www.zaraslist.com
We focus on saving dogs and cats who are in the shelter and we primarily take
from high kill shelters. All of our animals live in foster homes and are evaluated
in the foster home for temperament and ability to reside with dogs, cats and
kids. Our purpose is to make the best match for the family and for the dog
and hopefully place our fur-friends in lifetime homes.
We save lives by folks who open their doors and foster these beautiful animals
until they find their forever home. If you want to make the greatest difference
in saving a life, then consider fostering. Many families are at their limit
in their permanent fur members but taking in one temporarily saves that animal's
life for a lifetime. http://www.zaraslist.com/foster/index.htm
Our rescue takes in the needy, the neglected and those who are often most discarded
by society. Through some wonderfully talented vet work and caring folks many
dogs are restored to wholeness. If you'd like to help us continue to save those
ones check out the work we are doing at http://www.zaraslist.com/icuward/icuwardanimals.htm

ResQ Animal Coalition
Site: resqanimalcoalition.petfinder.com
email:resq@resqanimalcoalition.com
ResQ Animal Coalition is a non-profit animal welfare organization located
in Redding, CA, networking to save lives. Our primary focus is small dogs and
parrot rescue but have always striven to find life saving alternatives for
those who cross our paths. We have rescued and released many of our indigenous
feathered friends as well as mammals. We believe that every pet that has been
cast away for whatever reason deserves a safe and secure home. We specialize
in rescuing toy fox terriers, yorkies, pugs, and oriental cats, but will always
consider helping an animal in need of any breed or origin.
The mission of Sammie's Friends is to provide medical care for the animals
at the Nevada County Animal Shelter. This care makes them adoptable. We accept
donations to pay for medical care for the animals. The county will only pay
for emergency medical expenses up to $100 per animal. Many times the animals
have conditions which keep them from being adopted and yet the condition is
not considered an emergency because it is not life threatening (i.e. demodectic
mange, broken legs and hips, amputation of legs, respiratory infections, foxtails
in the ears and nose and many more conditions). If these conditions are not
cared for, the inevitable is that the animal will be euthanized because no
one will adopt them in the condition they are in.
Animals often come to the shelter because they are strays and have been abandoned
by people who should have cared for them. Many of these animals have medical
problems. In 2006, Sammie's Friends spent over $61,000 to provide medical care
and support for 82 cats, 110 dogs, 1 bunny and 1 horse. With your continuing
donations, we can help even more animals in the future.

Pet Rescue By Judy is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue cats and dogs. Many of them come to us with medical needs. They are doctored to the best of our ability and resources. We do not have a shelter, but, instead, house our rescued animals in private homes until we can find loving homes for them.
Obviously our most urgent goal is to rescue animals that are abandoned or in
distress, update their vaccines, and find good new homes for them. But we attempt
to be more proactive than that. It is our heartfelt desire to prevent any animal
from the need to be "rescued." With that vision in mind, we take
a three-prong approach through the education of pet owners and the general
public about:
- proper care of animals, including correct diet of good quality food, fresh
clean water, daily exercise, and lots of love
- spaying and neutering companion animals (dogs and cats) in order to prevent
euthanasia and over-population
- low-cost spay/neuter clinics and wellness centers in their local community
Our website
is www.pawdsquad.org.
The Paw’d Squad Animal Rescue is working toward a time in Los Angeles
when all cats and dogs are cared for, when all puppies and kittens find loving
and generous owners. We rescue unwanted and abandoned animals, provide them
with medical care, rehabilitation and foster homes until caring, adoptive homes
can be found. We spay and neuter prospective pets and educate owners about
the importance of pet population control. We educate and help caretakers maintain
healthy feral cat colonies with a goal of population control and placement
of socialized cats and kittens in permanent and loving homes.
Ultimately, we believe no animal should go unloved.

photograph them, talk to them and evaluate their personality. Then, when I
post them on my Petfinder website, I write a little story about each animal.
I do this for the cats too. Occasionally, I am contacted by people who need
to give up their pet. I get as much information as I can about the pet and
post their story also.

Have A Big Heart For A Big Dog!
Best Freinds Rescue is operated by a private family, located in Moreno Valley,
California. We have donated our home and time to take in unwanted, abused and
neglected large breed dogs (Danes, Saints, Mastiffs/Mixes) and give them everything
they need until a new and forever home is found. Although we try to never turn
away any dog in need in our area, we are restricted by our funding and space.
We have devoted our own time and resources to rescue many dogs from overcrowded
shelters where they are destined for "euthanasia". We have rescued
as many of these dogs that funds will allow. We also try to rehabilitate as
many as possible for a second chance for a new and loving home. We operate
solely from monies directly out of our pockets and donations from private individuals
for food and medical care. We can only continue our life saving efforts with
your Support! Thank you so much for caring! Don't shop, please adopt and save
a life!

vaccinations against contagious diseases.

conduct humane investigations whenever cruelty to animals is suspected, provide
emergency rescues during natural disasters, and enforce all state and local
animal control laws.
