For the Sake of the Animals... A real, honest-to-goodness, Yellow Pages with links to online shelters and rescue facilities, all on one "page" for easy access. The categories are: DISABLED PETS AND PETS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS SHELTERS AND RESCUE FACILITIES THE BREED RESCUES. Listings for related topics such as Retirement Homes and Pet Insurance are at the end of the page. |
| As sites are sometimes down, telephone contacts have been included where available. If you have a facility that you would like listed, please contact me. Thousands of unwanted animals are euthanized across the United States every hour. If you have a website you can help give some of these animals a second chance by sharing this page with your visitors and giving them access to these facilities. Please consider adding a link to the Yellow Pages on your site with the minibanner at the right. |  http://diabellalovescats.com/shelters.htm Do not link directly to this site.

Shelters and Rescue Facilities |
 NO KILL: No-kill facilities are generally privately funded and although there is usually a long waiting list, once an animal enters it is not euthanized unless it is incurably ill or displays extreme behavior making it unadoptable. A true No-Kill shelter is a shelter that will not euthanize just to cut down on the pet population... nor will it send a healthy animal in its care to another facility to be destroyed. No-kill facilities are designated by the smiling cat.
 MUNICIPAL: Municipal shelters, and some of the larger privately funded shelters, accept all animals. As a result they are often forced to euthanize animals based on space and adoptability of the animal. These facilities are designated by the animated cat who is hiding behind a wall.
Disclaimer: There is a fine line between no-kill shelters and shelters that euthanize. Each site was reviewed to determine its category, and then each webmaster was contacted to confirm the accuracy of their listing. However, we can only pass on what we've been told. Also, be aware that policies change... so if you must surrender your pet and care about its welfare, it is your responsibility to ask questions. |

The Breed Rescues |
| Cats listed with breed rescue organizations are surrendered pedigrees, or pedigrees that have been rescued from pounds. They need homes too. Most of these organizations have networks in several areas of the country, and some function worldwide. Transportation can usually be arranged at your expense. |
