Rescue Planet

 

Welcome to Rescue Planet.  No more sitting on the sidelines.  Save the lives of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats in Southern California and beyond!   We are seeing record numbers of animals being dumped at shelters already over-populated, and most of these loving creatures are not making it out alive!  This is an unacceptable nightmare for all the animals being killed, for the shelter workers who have to put the needles in their paws, and for the stat of California, which spends millions each year to shelter animals for a few days before they are euthanized. 

People losing their homes to fore- closures and abandoning pets is part of the problem.  But another huge part is the number of dogs and cats not being spayed or neutered by owners.  Spaying and neutering pets not only prevents unwanted puppies or kittens from being born, it prolongs the life of your pet and prevents them from developing serious health issues as they get older.  The misconception that spay/neutering hurts an animal or changes its personality is completely false.  Decreased hormone production actually calms your animal and makes him/her a more loving companion.    

A new mandatory spay/neuter law recently passed in Los Angeles now  makes it mandatory to spay/neuter your dog or cat after it is four months old.  Now another bill is being considered (AB 250) to make it law throughout the state.   Passing this law will help reduce the horrific over-population problem in our shelters, and eventually reduce the millions of dogs and cats being killed every year.  It will also save California millions of dollars.  Please join the fight to get this bill passed.

CHLOCHETTE

—the sweetest little girl kitty you could meet.  She is a 2-year-old Tabby who was left outside the shelter in a little box, meowing away and waiting for someone to help her.   She is very affectionate and loves to give nose nuzzles and have her chin rubbed.  Totally healthy, spayed and gets along with other cats.   A beautiful young jewel who would look great curled up next to you on the sofa!  Contact LoranSlana@yahoo.com 

BULLITO

—a most handsome ball of fur and energy you’ve ever seen.  He is the King of the Castle and lover of all who bow before him and rub his bottom.  He loves belly rubs and meowing away about how charming he is.  He was abandoned by his family at the shelter after they lost their home, and is now being fostered with other cats.  This is a big, healthy 13-pound cat, so make sure you’ve got good muscles in order to pick him up.

LIAM

—a huggable orange 5-month old kitten, perfect to adopt in time for Halloween celebration!  Look at those eyes!  He was found stray in the street, cold, hungry and probably separated from his mom and litter mates through no fault of his own.   He is very playful and will chase a ball or string for hours.  He is healthy and neutered, and loves other kitties.  Why not  adopt him and another kitten at the same time, as they make great companions to you and each other.
