Adoption Days

We need good homes for cats and dogs, so please contact us if you can open your home to a new pet. Cats & dogs are shown for adoption in Bakersfield on Saturdays and some Sundays at the Petco on Gosford. In Lebec, adoptions are by appointment. For info on locations in the San Fernando Valley, please see the Just Cats Rescue website (www.justcatsrescue.org) Adoptive homes are screened, and all adopted animals must be sterilized. Adoption donation includes expenses for all vaccinations, deworming and spay/neuter by C4C veterinarian.

PLEASE SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PETS! Call for low cost s/n information.

What are we doing for our community?

We provide sheltering for lost, abandoned and unwanted animals

We provide spay and neuter assistance to local residents

We provide help with transportation to and from the vet

We provide assistance with lost and found pets

We provide assistance with adopting pets into kind, loving homes

We provide assistance with emergency veterinary bills for those in need

We have collectively rescued and adopted hundreds of cats in the mountain communities. The number of animals needing help will steadily increase as new homes are built and more cats are brought to the area.

What are our plans to improve services for animals and the community?

To develop and implement a humane education program

To develop and implement a spay/neuter awareness program

To create a humane law enforcement department

To extend and enhance our foster home program

Although local animal caregivers have united to pool resources and volunteers, there is still much to be done and not enough people or funds to do it with. A community problem requires a resolution from the entire community!
