Midget
- We helped this adorable FeLV+ kitten with a broken
leg find a safe forever home at a sanctuary in 12/08.
I
am only one, but still I
am one. I cannot do everything, but still
I can do
something;
and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do something
that I
can do.
— Edward Everett Hale
Which
is more beautiful, feline movement or feline stillness?

03-06-10 — Happy Spring! Kitten season is right around the corner & rescuers will be more swamped than ever, combined with owner surrenders/abandonments from home foreclosures. Please consider the life-saving gift of fostering. There will be mama cats with kittens, orphanded kittens of all ages, pregnant cats, juvenile youngsters, & adult cats all needing a safe temporary home.
Fostering is an extremely rewarding & positive experience. Many people fear that giving up their foster to adoption will be hard, & of course it is to a certain extent. But the satisfaction of knowing you played a major role in helping that precious animal find its permanent loving home is a wonderful feeling ~ you literally gave it a second chance at life!
And there are numerous more cats & kittens needing your help too, so there is no shortage of sweeties you can help. Please give it some thought; all you need is an extra room where your other cats don't go. If you don't have cats, a quiet safe corner will do. CR!FR will provide the crate, vet care, & some other supplies. You supply the food, litter, & lots of love & attention. The length of time fostering varies.
CR!FR will list the cat/s on our PetFinder site & make arrangements when an adopter is approved. You can accompany us on the home visit to the adopter's house if
you like.
Please contact us at info@catsrule.org if you can help save precious felines by fostering ~ Thank You!

01-07-10 — HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope your holidays were wonderful & warm, & you & your animal friends got through the snows ok! We are really hoping adoptions pick up this year, so we can rescue other needy animals in crisis, of which there are sadly more than ever. We'll continue to reach out to as many animals & people trying to help them as possible. We'll continue caring for everyone at our Sanctuary/HQ & continue with upgrades & improvements.
CR!FR is run by an extremely small skeleton crew with the occasional help of a volunteer or 2. We do the best we can so please be patient if you don't get an immediate response to an inquiry. We receive dozens of e'mails each week asking for help & we try to respond to all & offer assistance. I regret that sometimes it's not possible to keep up.
Additionally, we're sorry that we are unable to accept any new animals indefinitely; we just don't have room, & adoptions have been very slow.
