Who We Are and What We Do
We are a branch of Sierra Pacific Furbabies, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit pet rescue. Our location serves California’s northern coastal counties and those counties adjacent. Our cats are cared for in private volunteer foster homes, featured online and at Petco, Eureka, and are available to meet by appointment only. We do not have a facility. Most of our rescue cats come from shelters, have been abandoned or reported as strays. We only rarely accept owner surrenders, primarily in the cases of owner death, incarceration, or nursing home placement.
All of our cats are tested for feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworm, are spayed or neutered, provided their basic shots, microchipped, deflead and dewormed prior to adoption. All are litter box trained with the exception of barn cats. Kittens are socialized prior to adoption. Barn cat temperament may range from friendly to feral.
We require our cats to be adopted into indoor-only homes for their own safety, with the exception of barn cats and working cats, and the occasional adult cat rescued from a 100% outdoor setting. Potential adopters must complete an application, have landlord approval if renting, allow a safety homecheck, and pay an adoption fee. We do offer a small discount to seniors, military/veterans, and with proof of disability. With rare exception we require our adopters to be 21 or over.
We specialize in matching cats to adopters. Cats have unique purr-sonalities too and not every cat is ideal for all potential adopters. Please ask about this service.
