Castle Cats is a small organization made up of about 20 dedicated volunteers and fosterers. We care for and rehabilitate un-owned or abandoned cats. We educate the public on the virtues of spay - neuter and our goal is to help shelters in our area transition to no-kill shelters. We rescue from kill shelter and abandoned cats from the streets. We place tame cats in new homes. We strongly support direct adoptions from your local county shelter and adoptions from other non-profit groups on Petfinder. We work hand-in-hand with other rescue groups to help share resources. We spay-neuter stray or feral cats brought to our attention, to the extent that our resources allow.

We are an all volunteer group with no permanent shelter facility. Rather, we rely on foster homes to care for our cats and kittens prior to adoption. Our focus is on: Rescue. Commonwealth Cat Rescue takes in abandoned cats and kittens from local animal shelters and supports other community rescue groups. Our rescues are provided shelter, food and care until permanent homes can be found. Rehabilitation. The cats and kittens we take in are evaluated regarding their health, temperament, and other characteristics to determine their suitability for placement into an adoptive home. Based upon this assessment, the cats and kittens we rescue are provided with appropriate care and medical treatment to prepare them for a permanent home. Re-homing. Our adoption program has the goal of finding a lifetime home for our rescues. Adopters are provided with support and advice before and after taking our cats and kittens into their homes.

What is the Whitney Foundation?The Whitney Foundation is a non-profit companion animal rescue and adoption organization. The Foundation was founded in 1997. There are no administrative costs associated with this effort. All of the funds available to the Foundation are dedicated to saving animals lives. The activities associated with the operation of the Foundation are conducted by volunteers - no paid employees.Where do the dogs come from?Animals accepted for adoption from the Foundation have either been abandoned or are unwanted. Acceptance is based on availability of foster homes or the Owner is willing to keep dog until adopted.How does it work?Once a dog is brought into the Foundation, he is cared for until a permanent home is found. The animals are brought up to date on vaccinations, tested for heartworm and intestinal parasites, groomed, spayed or neutered, and treated for any medical concerns. Potential adopters come to the Foundation either by word of mouth or by advertisement in local newspapers. A telephone interview is conducted and based on that an individual interested in adopting will make arrangements to meet the animal. This usually happens at the home of the foster care provider. The foster care provider or adoption counselor will evaluate the adoption match and will be available for detailed questions regarding the pet. If the applicant had a previous pet, they must provide a veterinary reference and, if that is satisfactory, a home visit will be arranged. If the home visit is successful the applicant will complete an adoption contract and arrange to pick up their new pet.
