Meet our Meeko! Owner surrender, 19 years old. He was surrendered to a High Kill Shelter in Lancaster California after being with the same owner for 15 years. Reason given: girlfriend didn't like cats!!! Meeko is a doll he is just a bundle of love. He is a forever member of Feral Paws Rescue!

It is not easy pulling geriatric cats who have suffered tremendous stress after being handed over to a high kill shelter, where the downward spiral begins. Loud, slamming cage doors,stainless steel walls and the hard floor of a cage. Food they are not used to or sometimes cannot even eat due to dental problems....but staff doesn't care to check if they have teeth or not.
They begin to shut down and give up.
It takes time to build pledges to save them and we must work on a faster response from pledgers.
There are cats that don't make it two hours after the stress of it all and then being put into yet another carrier to transport out of the shelter...Then there are the ones we have for years....
We deal with URI in 99% of our pulls,and the personal time it takes to be with them as much as possible so they feel they have a reason to beat it,is beyond what we have in a day. The cost is off the charts and takes more than we receive. My Partner works/tends/treats/loves and provides for them 24 hrs a day. Barely finding time to dig out the next group of posted kittys who are already urgent. She is endless in her efforts and again,I am PROUD to be involved with anyone that treats animals this way.

Tux was rescued from a High Kill shelter in Los Angeles.  He was a owner surrender, a senior and deaf.   Now Tux is in his forever loving home and has left our amazing fosters home.  Thank you Jaclyn and Lupe Gore!
The very sad part of being in rescue... this is what we see every day walking into the shelter's knowing they will all die in a few days.  Its hard to be in rescue and see this every single day over and over... it takes a toll on us all dealing with trying to save a life. Then the question is who do we save and who do we leave behind? Our rescue never leaves family members behind NEVER !!
How can anyone walk away from these faces... having it eat at you day after day?
Our amazing vet Dr. LeRoy Le Beuf D.V.M. with Kings Canyon Veterinary Hospital. Amazing vet, Doc has done so much for our rescue group. Doc is holding little Jill rescued from North Central Shelter in LA where she was being left behind to die. Another rescue group stepped for Jill's mom and said they didn't want Jill.  Brenda Renee Green called and said no way can we leave little Jill behind.  So we rescued little Jill. Now Jill has been adopted
Read this so you know what happens to your pets you take to a High Kill Shelter! It is posted at the shelters but the public doesn't read this message and it is the truth.


Please find a home for your cat(s) - don't surrender them to a High Kill Shelter for they are most likely going to die.  How can you live with your self knowing they will die in  just a few days?   25% of cats are adopted from the shelters. The rest are either euthanized, "escape" or are found dead in cages.
