Below are some of HOPE's rescued cats who are waiting for their "forever homes" and families who will give them the love they so deserve.  All of our cats have been given their original vaccinations, are litter-trained, and are neutered or spayed, unless otherwise noted.  A $55 adoption fee is required for each animal, and pre-adoption home checks, adoption applications, and adoption contracts are necessary for each cat.  If you fall in love with one of our cats but are unable to take him or her into your home, please consider sponsorship.  Please click on the thumbnails to view larger pictures.
