East County Animal Rescue ECAR

East County Animal Rescue ECAR TNR (trap-neuter-return)-foster-based cat rescue Trap Neuter Return (TNR): Spaying and Neutering feral cats is one of our primary activities.
(241)

We work with residents of the community who are experiencing over population issues in their area. We provide this service free of charge but we do love donations! Helping the Public Spay/Neuter Their Pets: We help pet owners get their pets spayed and neutered. This involves any and all activities involved in spaying and neutering pets - connecting to resources, providing resources, transportation

to/from vet for pet owners who wouldn't otherwise have a way to get their animals to the vet for spay/neuter surgery. Providing Medical Care: We take many animals into our rescue that are in dire need of medical care including those animals who would otherwise be euthanized by shelters because of their illnesses. Through donations from the public, and our ability to separate ill animals into foster homes, we are able to provide these animals with the care that they need to get back on their feet! Adoptions: We work to find loving homes for adoptable animals.

Lilo, a long-term resident in our adoption program, patiently awaits a suitable match. The presence of FIV can make her adoption more difficult. Nevertheless, Lilo's overall health and well-being are apparent. As she takes time to adjust, her sweet personality emerges. We are committed to finding Lilo a forever family before she reaches her third year in our care.

Penny and Bernadette are charming sisters in need of a loving family. By opening your heart and home to one or both, you'll experience the rewards of companionship and unconditional love! They get along with kids and would be fine with other cats!

Kiko (M) Approx DOB 6/26/18

Kiko was adopted as a kitten in 2018 and returned when his family lost their home and had to move in with family. He is a sweet boy that just wants to lounge around and be loved by his humans. He will tolerate another mild mannered cat or small dog But he would be happy to be the only pet in the household to receive all the love and attention. Wet food is a must for him. It’s his favorite. Kiko recently had a dental with several teeth pulled and had a horrible reaction to the anesthesia. It is highly recommended he not be anesthetized again if at all possible. If he must then the vet will need to monitor him very closely. If you are looking for a gentle cat to love on he just might be your boy.

Meet Sansa 💖 She was born approximately 4/20/19. Sansa was an owner relinquished Kitty & is very sweet & friendly. She’s not afraid to let you know when she’s hungry. Sansa likes to lay on your chest if you give her the opportunity. She loves to nuzzle in with her nose and gives lots of affection. She is very affectionate, especially to those who show her they care. She had a dog living with her and they got along great. She has been exposed to children and was friendly towards them. She was an only kitty but with lots of time and patience she would probably be fine with another kitty, however she is fine being the only queen in the household. Her foster would like you to know: -incredibly easy going and mellow - easy cat to care for in general (only wants dry food) (also she doesn’t scratch any furniture and always uses her scratch pads/trees - super playful with lasers - she’s chill and likes to hangout next to you while you work - loves good scratches and attention! What more could you ask for?! To adopt Sansa please visit the link tree in our bio & click Apply to Adopt. Give Sansa a Share! It’ll really help her find her furrever family. ❤️ #adoptdontshop #spayandneuter #spayandneuteryourpets #spayandneutersaveslives #spayandneuteristhesolution #adopt #catsofinstagram #kittens #kittensofinstagram #adopts #adoptables #adopt #adoption #adoptme #adoptdontshop🐾 #adoptmepet #cat #catsofinstagram #cats #catlife #catlove #catlovers #calic#calico
