Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

The Rescue House is a non-profit, all 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 8,000 cats. We find loving, permanent homes for them through our 8 adoption centers in San Diego County, located in pet stores that work with us and share our philosophy. We have wonderful cats of all colors, shapes, sizes and ages. Each of our cats has had all their medical requirements tended to; we work with 6 veterinarians that ensure this. Each cat has been examined, tested for feline leukemia, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, dewormed and treated for fleas. The Rescue House also pays for the microchip registration and 30 days of pet insurance for each cat and kitten that is adopted. The adoption fee assists us in covering these costs. Our senior cats have a full blood chemistry and, if needed, teeth cleaning done before entering one of our adoption centers. We encourage you to visit our centers. Please call (760) 591-1211 for a listing of center locations, or check our website for the pictures of our special cats ready for adoption. These are great cats with much love to give!

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
