Cat Rescue

People love cats, and every year thousands of kittens are born. Many are pure breeds, either registered ones or those from back yard catteries. Unfortunately, sometimes people decide they no longer want the cat for whatever reason or another and the cat ends up on the street or in the shelter. Cat rescue groups will try to save these animals from euthanasia in over-crowded shelters, and get them adapted to new families.
