The Kittens Cradle is a 501C nonprofit no kill animal rescue founded in 2014 by a small dedicated group of volunteers that care for, rehabilitate, and protect animals using a home based foster program until the perfect loving adoptive home is found.
The Kittens Cradle takes in strays, unwanted pets, animals from local shelters, and those that are released to us by families that are no longer able to care for them.
All of our foster pets live with their foster family while they receive vet care and prepare for adoption. Their vet care includes spay/neuter, feline leukemia testing, deworming, and being brought up to date on vaccinations, in addition to any other medical care needed to ensure they are healthy. How we prepare them for adoption is by simply providing safety and love while the foster family and foster pet get to know each other. Taking this time allows us to discover the foster pet’s personality and needs, which helps us find a perfect match for both the foster pet and their adoptive family.

This organization is not friendly for disabled folks or folks living in a non-traditional setting, such as with family. Or in apartments. They told me that I shouldn't ever own a cat because of my living situation and that I should "wait until I have a place of my own", as if that's a reality for everyone in this economy. They were incredibly judgemental throughout the whole process and I do not recommend adopting through them.

Claims to be foster based (based on descriptions) but then cats are staying in encolosures in pet stores.

Our Max (previously Milo) was bottle-fed by a loving foster mom for this rescue. He's amazing, and everyone involved is so kind and sweet. We love our Max, he's the sweetest boy. Thank you to everyone involved in his rescue and care!
