S.A.I.N.T. Rescue (Saving Animals in Need Today)

S.A.I.N.T. Rescue (Saving Animals in Need Today) SAINT is a cat only rescue located in Cedar Rapids IA. End suffering of cats by reducing unwanted litters through TNR, spay/neuter and adoption services.

SAINT Rescue has been in existence for over 20 years, rescuing and adopting out cats and kittens. All veterinary and medical expenses were funded primarily by our founder for the first 15 years of our existence. SAINTs was formally incorporated and obtained its 501C(3) status in 2010. Donations are necessary and greatly appreciated to help us continue to do our work. All donations are tax deductib

le to the extent allowable by law. All of the animals we take in have been abandoned by someone. We adopt out approximately 350 cats and kittens every year. Unfortunately, more kitties need to be rescued than we can possibly help.

I know we have missed it a few weeks, but we are back with a spotlight today!
Today's spotlight is for our special guy, P***y.
P***y truly is special. He has asthma and takes an inhaler once a day. He is very used to doing it and does it like a champ.
P***y is between 2-3 years old. He was left outside our door in a box as a kitten with his sister. His sister was adopted pretty quickly, but P***y is still waiting for his family. He can be a little loud if he is picked up, but does okay with it. He does fine around other cats and is very social with people. P***y is a playful cat but loves a good snuggle session too.
If you're interested check out appointment times!

Norman nearly lost his life yesterday trying to find a warm spot. He was in the engine compartment of a truck and suffered a couple of severe abrasions and wounds. Thank you, Wired Production Group , for rescuing Norman. He wouldn't have survived out there without medical attention and a warm spot to recover.
Norman is ~7 months old, unaltered, & undersocialized.

Today's spotlight is going to our shy baby, Shadow.
If you want to meet this Shadow make sure you go to room 2 as we have two girls named Shadow right now.
This Shadow has been at saint for just over three years now. She came in with her three kittens who were adopted out pretty quickly. She has come so far in the time she has been here. She still is very shy and low key, but will accept pets if you're patient with her. Shadow would do best in a quiet home. She does just fine with other cats being around. Shadow would also do just fine as an only cat.
If you're interested in adding shadow to your family, please schedule an appointment to come and meet her!

$5k match offer has been extended through the weekend! Please help us meet our $5k match goal. Every $1 donated = $2 to help us save the lives of local homeless cats. You can donate on the link or stop by the shelter tomorrow (12/7) and join us for cocoa, cookies and kitties!

I know we are a little early but, Giving Tuesday is December 3, 2024. A longtime Saint supporter has offered a dollar for dollar match up to $5K raised ($10k total) in memory of her beloved cat Tessa. The donor met Saint's founder, Nicki through Tessa in 2008 when Nicki placed 6 of the 7 other cats the donor trapped after learning their owner tossed them and Tessa out when she went to jail.
Saint has had several cats this year who have needed a lot of medical attention and this type of donation would greatly help us to be able to care for those cats as well as take care of day to day expenses.
An example of one of our medical kitties is our beautiful girl, Nestle. Nestle has been at the rescue for a while now. Around this time last year, we noticed her becoming more withdrawn and losing a lot of weight. She was taken into the vet and it was found that she had stomatitis and needed to have approximately 12 of her teeth pulled to correct the issue. This procedure was completed and for a few weeks we thought she was doing great when suddenly she began to lose weight yet again. We took her back to the vet and she was diagnosed with FIP. Nestle was started on the new FIP medication which is an 18 week course of daily meds. She was able to complete the course and beat a disease that was once a death sentence to cats like her. Nestle now has a clean bill of the health and is patiently waiting for her forever family to find her.
If you can give a little to help this cause to help cats like Nestle, please consider donating. Thank you for all the support you give to our organization. We couldn't manage without support for our amazing community.
