FLUFF

Mission Statement

As an animal rescue organization, we strive to feed the hungry, care for the suffering, provide shelter for the homeless, help those who can’t help themselves, and educate those around us to do the same.

We primarily rescue orphaned kittens that are too young and need too much care to be in shelters or on the streets as well as kittens and cats in need of medical attention that shelters or other rescues are unable to provide. We are not entirely a breed-specific rescue but we do focus our adult cat efforts on helping the very large in need Persian/Himilayan/Exotic Shorthair population. Our philosophy is if we can help we will.
