Rescue League

Rescue League works with individuals to solve animal care issues such as feral cat colony management, spay/neuter, placing with fosters and forever homes.

assisting with utilization of low cost spay/neuter of companion animals and rehoming of companion animals when necessary. In 2015 we took in 263 animals from the public.. 111 healthy, 148 treatable and 4 unhealthy. 250 cats were adopted; 121 health, 129 treatable. 5 cats were euthanized for serious illness for which no affective treatment is available (FIP, severe neurological impairment). No animals were euthanized due to limited space. We believe that it's not enough to keep pulling unwanted pets from other shelters without working in a more personal relationship with people to prevent pet overpopulation and the unnecessary surrender of animals to shelters. We CAN NOT adopt our way out of the pet overpopulation problem.

CALLING ALL CAT LOVERS! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Rescue League has an urgent need for volunteers at the 91st Ave & Peoria adoption center.

We need volunteers each morning sometime between 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and again between 4 PM -6 PM.

Even if you can only do one shift, one time it will help them out tremendously. The work involved is to tidy up the kennels, scoop boxes, replenish the food and water, check kitty welfare and play with the cats. This process typically takes about an hour unless you want to play with the kittens longer which we support!

Rescue League also does their adoptions by appointment. This involves doing the meet and greet, screening adopters and completing paperwork for the adoption. This takes strong people skills as we want to ensure we are placing the right kitty with the right family so this requires excellent people skills and attention to detail.

Please share with your networks if you know someone that would have an interest, contact:

Coming soon to Petsmart!

Chip and Mazzy are bonded pair of kitties are 9 months old. They are very friendly, playful, sweet, and lots of fun.

Chip is the cuddler, he likes to be held and picked up, and wants to be wherever you are. He loves to play and enjoys knocking small items onto the floor and can create a toy out of any household item. He is curious and likes people, dogs and other cats. He is a nice sleeping partner, and will snuggle up in bed yet isn’t a disruptive bedmate. Given his rough start in life as a stray, he has a chronic but mild stuffy nose and can often breath heavily giving him the nickname Weezer.

Mazzy is a sweet little girl. She loves to play with her brother, and they can endlessly entertain themselves. Mazzy is a little more tentative than Chip, but also likes to cuddle up and be petted. She had an eye infection that left her with a damaged cornea, but it really only makes her that much cuter. She likes to carry toys around the house and follows Chip following his person.

Our Story

Co founded by Valerie Lintz; the Rescue League dba The Litter League was formed to address the need to rescue, tame and place for adoption kittens born in community cat colonies. There is no charge for services but participants are expected to cooperate with rescue efforts including spay/neuter of all animals. The Litter League may help with trap/neuter/return of feral cats and colony management, assisting with utilization of low cost spay/neuter of companion animals and rehoming of companion animals when necessary. In 2015 we took in 263 animals from the public.. 111 healthy, 148 treatable and 4 unhealthy. 250 cats were adopted; 121 health, 129 treatable. 5 cats were euthanized for serious illness for which no affective treatment is available (FIP, severe neurological impairment). No animals were euthanized due to limited space. We believe that it's not enough to keep pulling unwanted pets from other shelters without working in a more personal relationship with people to prevent pet overpopulation and the unnecessary surrender of animals to shelters. We CAN NOT adopt our way out of the pet overpopulation problem.
