Rescue House

Our Mission

The Rescue House, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to assisting cats through its rescue, foster and adoption activities. We find loving homes for unwanted, abandoned, homeless and abused cats. We open our arms to socialized, people-friendly cats that need assistance, regardless of age and often regardless of handicap. We find good homes for every cat that we take in – we are a true no-kill cat rescue organization.

Since our inception in 1999, we have rescued over 18,500 cats. We find loving, permanent homes for them through our six adoption centers in San Diego County, located in pet stores and businesses that work with us and share our philosophy. We have wonderful cats of all colors, shapes, sizes and ages. All of our cats have had their medical requirements tended to; we work with veterinarians who ensure this. Each cat has been examined, tested for feline leukemia, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, dewormed and treated for fleas. Our adoption fee also includes the microchip registration. Cats nine years and more have also had a full blood chemistry done and a dental if needed. We encourage you to visit our adoption centers and to check the ADOPT section of our website for the pictures and stories of our special cats ready for adoption. These are great cats with much love to give!
