SPECIAL NEEDS RESCUE EMAIL LIST

NATIONWIDE
 USA

Animals accept people for who they are, not what they should be.   Don't you think that animals are deserving of the same treatment?   Special Needs Rescue was designed specifically to help all animals with permanent disabilities or health problems (i.e. blind, diabetic, FeLV +, 3 legs, etc.) find thier "forever homes."   If you are willing to help find homes for an animal with special needs by adopting, fostering, or transporting,  or if you know of such an animal that needs rescue, you are invited to join.

PUREBRED

AMERICAN
CURL
ONLY
NATIONWIDE

It is unfortunate that as this rare breed grows in number and in popularity, that instances of American Curls being dropped off at shelters are occurring.  ACRP is a volunteer group of people who are familiar with and love this very rare breed of cat and are dedicated to the rescue and placement of any abandoned or surrendered American Curls. Our purpose is to provide  assistance in educating shelters, rescue groups and veterinarians about how to identify an American Curl and to aid in the rescue and placement in permanent, indoor homes of any abandoned or surrendered American Curls found on the street, at shelters, rescue groups, or veterinarian offices.  

NATIONAL BENGAL RESCUE

BENGALS
ONLY
WORLDWIDE

The Bengal Rescue Network is an organization formed by volunteers.  All of its members are active Bengal cat enthusiasts who truly care about these cats' well being and happiness.  Many of our volunteers show and breed Bengals and hope to ensure that NONE of these cats roam the streets, go hungry, sleep in the cold, lack affection or end up facing an uncertain future in a shelter or humane society. The purpose of this network is NOT to advertise kittens or cats for sale; our mission is to help cats in need of new homes, find people with room in their hearts to adopt them.

PERSIAN RESCUE EMAIL LIST

PERSIANS
ONLY
NATIONWIDE
USA & CANADA

Our goal is the rehoming of Persian cats, so this list provides a means for for people interested in adopting a Persian to find a Persian cat in Rescue and for Persian Breed Rescues & fosterers to communicate with each other. Tips on Persian grooming and care are also provided for owners who request help in dealing with their Persian. In far too many cases, people give up animals because they do not understand animals basic behaviors & needs or because of "lifestyle" changes that are beyond their control.   Please do help educate others about each species or breed BEFORE they get a pet & caution them to ONLY get a pet if they can honestly commit to that responsibility for the lifetime of the animal. If they are considering buying a whole animal as a pet, please tell them the advantages of spaying or neutering that pet. Only a very few purebred cats, as identified by knowledgeable breeders, are likely to contribute to their breed's important health, beauty and temperament characteristics. It is a rare cat that is qualified for a responsible, pedigreed breeding program! If a person is not ready to undertake the markedly increased level of commitment to the breed which breeding entails, then other options are available that will still allow them the enjoyment of their chosen breed. Please ask them to consider the neutered or spayed rescue cat as one of those options! THANKS FOR CARING!

SPHYNX
& REX
ONLY
NATIONWIDE

Rexcue Railroad members are interested in providing transportation for rescued Cornish and Devon Rex to their new homes. Other "mutant fur" breeds such as the Sphynx, Selkirk Rex, Peterbald, Don Hairless, American Wirehair and LaPerm will be considered on an individual case basis. We only transport altered cats that are rescues. We do not transport cats that have been purchased from a breeder. Another cat may join the ride but only if one of the listed breeds is also being transported. All drivers must have a plastic cat carrier. This list is NOT intended for people who want a free cat! Additionally, owners may discuss the special emotional and physical needs a rescued cat may have. Remember to practice safe Rex: spay, neuter and rescue. Flaming will not be tolerated

SOMALIS &
ABYSSINIANS
ONLY
NATIONWIDE

S.A.B.R.E. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit breed rescue and education organization that was founded in 1994. Our goal is to provide a haven for unwanted purebred Abyssinian and Somali cats and place them in responsible homes, as well as educate people about these wonderful cats and their needs. We place spayed and neutered cats either by taking custody and fostering them, or by assisting owners place their cats in new homes directly through our "match up" program. All cats adopted through S.A.B.R.E. are guaranteed FeLV/FIV negative, current on their vaccines, and spayed or neutered (with no exceptions!). We screen potential adopters because our goal is to adopt out each animal once, so we want to make sure we place the cat in the right home on the first try. Although we have a waiting list, a cat is not placed on a "first come, first served" basis, but rather is placed in the environment that is best suited for its particular situation.If you want a kitten, S.A.B.R.E. is not the place to look. Although we have had rare occasions where we find kittens in need of rescue, this is not the norm. Most of the cats that come through S.A.B.R.E.'s care are older than two, often older than five. Abyssinians and Somalis are beautiful animals, with friendly, outgoing dispositions. They are very athletic and active cats which thrive on interaction, affection, and play. Although beautiful, an Abyssinian or a Somali is not the ideal cat for everyone. They have a lot of energy and demand a lot of attention. People who purchase one on impulse from a pet store are often unhappy to find that instead of a mellow, independent, albeit beautiful cat or kitten, they find themselves with a cat that follows them about the house, gets underfoot, and may cause destruction if ignored. They are much like dogs in this manner. They also retain their kitten-like vitality for many years, often long after their owners expect these cats to "mellow out."

SCOTTISH
FOLD ONLY
NATIONWIDE

The Scottish Fold Rescue & Adoption Network is a large network of volunteers across the US, Canada, and even a few in other countries, who love the Scottish Fold breed of Cat and who have a common goal.  That goal is to help facilitate the re-homing of any Scottish Fold cats who find themselves homeless, on the verge of being homeless, in shelters, or in any number of situations that may be life threatening. The ultimate objective is also that the new home for these cats be safe, loving and permanent. Our network of volunteers use the internet and our e-mail list on yahoogroups for our primary communication tool.  Volunteers can offer assistance in many ways and levels of dedication.  From being a local shelter contact, to providing supplies or a temporary foster home, our volunteers offer up as a diverse group who have proven to work together well to rehome the far too many Scottish Folds we have found in need.
