• Don't waste your time with this place. Found a stray loving cat with a broke arm and the lady was rude and she told me they don't accept stray cats. Uhm, this cat had a home before and it's sad that they don't live up to their name. A cat rescue. Why would you deny a cat. I've called a few places and they don't accept cats even though it clearly say it in the name. I wasted my time and it's sad to see that this is why we have so many stray cats. Cause shitty organizations like these don't take them in and are rude as hell

• Hello my name is Kim, I found a cat in my neighborhood who was only a little over a year old. I took her home to find her a home and found out she was pregnant. I found all four kittens a home BUT I still have the mom. I am not allowed to have her in my apartment and I am DESPERATELY looking to find her a loving home. I saw your website and wanted to see if you could help me. I am running out of time and do NOT want to take her to the pound where I know she will be put to sleep. She is VERY lovable and sweet. You can email me or call me at 954 865 5150. Thank you so much, Kim

• Hi Jenny, I am sorry you had an unpleasant experience with a volunteer. Know, we try to answer the calls daily as volunteers, and as you said, there is an epidemic of stray cats. We personally try to direct callers to places for help. we have often covered the veterinary care of animals not in our rescue. We do not take strays. There are strict Florida Statutes for holding strays. I can't speak for other groups, but we follow them. That is a 90 day holding period while the owner is hopefully located. As a foster based rescue, we do not have the manpower to hold a possibly owned pet for 90 days. We do support cat based rescues, unfortunately, we are no longer a cat based rescue, but a first come, first serve rescue for mostly special needs animals, that need medical care. It troubles me that you were treated rudely, we try to voluntarily help as many callers as they come, and literally that can be up to or more than 50 calls daily for help. This web-site was just brought to our attention today, 5 years later. Thank you for trying to help an injured pet, I hope its owner was found.
