Overview:
The Cat Network is a
non-profit, cat rescue group based in St. Louis, Missouri. We save
abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats. After their rescue, the cats and
kittens are medically treated, tested, spayed or neutered, and micro-chipped
for identification should they ever become lost. Cats are kept in foster
care until they can be placed in loving, permanent homes. Those adopting
from us receive detailed medical records, personality profiles, and an
assurance of quality care and good health.
Cat Network members are
ALL VOLUNTEER. Every tax-deductible penny you donate to the Cat Network goes
directly to our feline friends. No one in the organization is paid or
compensated from any income received.
OUR RESCUE EFFORTS:
We remove our cats from bad
situations and give them the care and attention they deserve. Almost all of our cats and kittens have been rescued from traditional shelters
where they were slated to be euthanized. We also accept pets from
individuals who can no longer care for the animal, provided they contribute
to costs of medical testing and health/general care. Since 1991 we have placed
over 2000 cats and kittens! We are a no-kill, life-enhancing group,
committed to our cats being secure and happy throughout their lives.
In 2008, we rescued
over cats and kittensthat were abused, stray or abandoned, and found homes for the cats. We also rescued 70 cats from
traditional shelters. We found loving homes for 193 cats. Six cats were
euthanized because their quality of life was poor and could not be improved.
We had 13 cats in the Pawtner Program - cats being partially supported by
caring "Pawtners" who make monthly or yearly donations towards the
care of these special needs kitties. We also support permanent foster cats
which are not adoptable due to health issues or behavior problems. As a
no-kill rescue group, these cats will live out their lives in caring foster
homes, guaranteeing a good quality of life.
